Our Class Policies
These policies ensure your safety, respect for and enjoyment of other
students, and the smooth sustainable operation of the studio to provide
our clients with a quality experience.
Payment and Sign In
- Please take care to sign in accurately and correctly in the book
BEFORE you take the class.
- If you have an active membership or class card remove your card from the filing box, record the day's class on the card if applicable (i.e. 8 week sessions and class packs require that you record the classes you attend and monthly memberships do not) and give the card to your instructor.
- If you are dropping in or buying a new class package please pay the instructor for the membership you want to buy and then fill out your card completely. Next time you come to the studio your card will be filed under your last name.
- IOUs - We prefer that everyone pays for their classes. If you
go into a shoe store you do not ask if you can give an IOU for
a pair of shoes. But if it is just "one of those days" then
you may do an IOU for the drop in rate ($17). You should fill out a drop in card and provide your contact information and sign the front and back of the card. Please provide:
- your name
- your phone number
- your email address
- and pay the IOU within 24 hours
NOTE:
We do NOT accept IOUs for any class packages.
When you get home please visit our IOU Payment
Page and pay for
your class. http://boulderyoga.com/iou/
Studio Etiquette
- Be at class on time. Show up 10 minutes before the class time to give yourself time to sign in, get ready for class and BE ON YOUR MAT when the class begins.
- If you arrive late, please enter the studio very quietly and be sure
to sign in and take care of your payment BEFORE joining the class.
- Turn off the ringer on your mobile phone before entering the studio.
- If you forget and your phone begins ringing please turn it off right away.
- Wear shorts or footless leggings. The instructor should be able
to see the alignment of your hips, knees, and ankles.
- Do not wear
baggy clothes, dangling jewelry, or any type of perfume to class.
- Cleanliness is important for your health and the comfort and enjoyment
of others. Your clothes and your body should be clean when you come
to class.
- Remove shoes immediately upon entering the studio. Please no shoes
on the wood floor.
- If departing earlier than class is scheduled to end, please leave
at least 10 minutes before the end of class and be sure to take a 5-minute
Savasana (relaxation pose) before leaving. The final relaxation at
the end of class is sacred and we ask that you be respectful of the
other students and your instructor. Do not disturb the class during Savasana (final relaxation.)
- If a class is crowded please make room for the mats of other
students without being asked. For Vinyasa classes and the teachers
practice there may be times when students are set up mat-to-mat. This
just means it's a good class. Enjoy it.
To Get the Best Experience in Class
- Be sure to let the instructor know if you have any injuries or physical limitations before the class begins so that they are aware of them and can make sure you get the most out of the class and do it safely.
- For your comfort, it is best to practice yoga with an empty stomach.
We recommend 2-3 hours after a full meal and best case would be
at least 1 full hour with no food.
- Drink water before and copeous amounts after class. For vinyasa
class it's best to minimize drinking during practice. Toxins that
are released by the practice are flushed from the system by drinking
water.
- If the instructor asks you to do something you do not feel like
you can do safely then please listen to yourself and just politely
let them know.
- In Vinyasa Class if you become tired you are welcome to move
into a resting pose like Downward Facing Dog or Child's Pose until
your heart rate and breathing settles down and then rejoin the
flow when you are ready.
