Frequently Asked Questions (+ Answers!)

Is this “hot yoga”? Are classes heated?

Because our studio’s mission is to make Yoga as accessible to as many folks as possible, we are NOT a traditional “hot yoga” studio. We do offer a balance of both warm (gently heated) & room-temperature (non-heated) classes, with studio temperatures typically falling in the 75-85 range depending on the class, time of day, & season. Our intention with offering gently-heated classes is to create a “warm & cozy” environment that feels good, helps your tight, tired muscles relax, & fosters a therapeutic space to unwind.

Which classes are warm (gently-heated)? Which are room temperature?

Generally, our “warm” (gently heated) classes are those in the “Energize + Invigorate” & “Revitalize & Renew” formats, whereas our “Nourish + Embody” & “Restore + Center” classes tend to be held at room temperature (non-heated). Other formats, such as our “Awaken + Expand”, may be gently heated in the early morning (6am) but left at room temperature in the evening (7:30pm). That said, we empower our teachers to “read the room” & take great care in cultivating an environment that attends to the needs of everyone - so if you need us to turn the heat down (or bump it up a hair) please never hesitate to ask!

I’ve never done Yoga before… Where should I begin?

As an intentionally all-levels, accessible, inclusive Yoga studio, we have crafted all of our classes to meet you where you are in your Yoga journey… even if it’s just beginning! That said, you can never go wrong with our “Restore + Center” or “Nourish + Embody” formats as a gentle way to ease into your new Yoga & meditation practice, while our “Awaken + Expand” classes are the perfect way to dive in & explore all that Yoga has to offer: mind, body, & spirit!

But I’m not flexible…

That’s totally ok!! Yoga isn’t about being flexible - rather, it provides us with tools & practices (physical, mental, energetic, & spiritual) to connect with all that we already are, and bring balance to every aspect of our being. So simply come as you are! All that you need, you already have.

Do I need fancy equipment? Special clothes?

Nope! We have plenty of Yoga mats available to borrow, and will provide you with all the props you’ll need to be comfortable & supported in your practice! And you don’t need any fancy Yoga clothes either - simply come dressed in anything that feels good & lets you move freely. Just come as you are - you already have everything you need!

Can I bring my kid(s) to class with me?

All are welcome in our space - and that includes your kid(s)! Since every kid (& family) is unique, we trust you to make the call on whether your kid is ready to sit through one of our full all-levels classes. Many adolescents & teens do wonderfully in our all-levels group classes & enjoy the experience of practicing with their adults! Some kids (especially those younger than 7-8) do better in our special Kids & Family Yoga classes that are geared more specifically to their age range & needs. Either way, we believe that families that Yoga together, thrive together!

Can my service animal join me?

Since our mission is to create an inclusive, accessible, & trauma-conscious environment for everyone, we do allow service animals to attend with their owners as an accommodation for those who need it. We simply ask that you arrive with enough time to check in with the teacher & get settled in before class, so we can ensure both you & your service animal have an easeful, enjoyable practice experience.

Do you offer “Chair Yoga”? Are your classes disability-accessible?

We DO offer Chair Yoga! In fact, we keep several folding Yoga chairs on-hand in our prop closet at all times - so you can attend any class you’d like, regardless of whether you prefer to roll out a mat or pull up a chair (or both!). We also offer special small-group Chair Yoga & Accessible Yoga class series, as well as Private Instruction & Yoga Therapy; So if you prefer more one-on-one attention &/or specially-curated practices, be sure to check out those offerings too!

Is your studio sensory-friendly?

We make it our mission to cultivate a safe, inclusive, & accessible environment for everyone - and while we recognize that each of us have unique individual needs, we have put careful thought & consideration into making our space as welcoming & inviting to those with special sensory needs as possible. From ensuring our music choices & volume levels are appropriate, to keeping our lighting levels low & natural, and refraining from the use of any essential oils, incense, or strong scents, we hope our studio space meets your needs. But if you ever need any additional accommodations, please do not hesitate to ask! We are here to support you every step of the way.
