Studio Etiquette

for Indoor and Outdoor Classes

 
 

Check In. All students must check in at the front desk before setting up your mat on the deck or in-studio.

Arrive 10-15 minutes before class starts. Class begins on time and students arriving late are not able to participate in class. Give yourself time to arrive 10-15 minutes early to check in at the front desk and settle in for practice. Thank you for helping us hold space for our students already in moving meditation.

Yoga is a moving meditation. Be respectful of this shared experience and keep conversations and questions for before and after class. Our teachers are always happy to connect with you! If you feel you need more personal guidance on the mat, please ask us about Private Yoga classes.

Please stay for the entire class - Savasana is a part of class. 
Savasana is built into every single class and is the most important pose of the practice. Leaving early is disruptive in both indoor and outdoor classes. Give yourself permission to stay and experience the power of Savasana. If you have to leave early, please let the teacher know before class and set up near the exit so you can leave as quietly as possible. This should be in case of emergency or for special circumstances only. This is not allowed as a common practice. 

No Cell Phones on the Mat. Please silence or turn off your devices during practice. Devices should be placed in a cubby and off the mat.  We have to disconnect from outside distractions so we can connect within! Please refrain from scrolling or texting on smart watches during class.

Age Requirement 16+.  Students younger than 18 years old must have a minor waiver signed by a parent or guardian prior to practicing. Questions about yogis 15 and under? Click here for more info.

Minor Policy: Minors may not be left unattended in the lobby or on the studio property - no exceptions. This policy is in place to keep everyone safe. Thank you for understanding.

Remove your shoes before entering the studios.  Kick your shoes off and place them under the bench or in a cubby and stay awhile!

Cubbies are available inside the studio for your personal belongings. Wild Heart Yoga is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

Parking.  We have parking available in front of the studio and a parking lot behind the studio.  To enter the lot behind the studio, take the driveway into Westlake Medical Center, stay right and you will see our gate.  Please note that absolutely NO parking is allowed in the Westlake Medical Center lot before 5pm Monday through Friday.  THEY WILL TOW. You may park in the Westlake Medical center any time on Sundays, after 1pm on Saturdays, and after 5pm on weekdays.

Please wipe down mats and sweat that may have pooled over your mat during class.

Questions, comments about a class, pose, or theme?  Our teachers are excited to be here to support your practice and are always eager for feedback. Email us at info@wildheartyogaaustin.com
