Class Guide, Safety and Terms

To keep our classes safe, friendly, and enjoyable for everyone, please take a quick look at my guidelines and booking terms below.

• Listen to Your Body: Never power through discomfort. If an exercise doesn’t feel right, give me a wave for a modification. Do not do exercises that cause pain.
• Injuries & Updates: Please tell me about minor physical updates before class. For new or complex conditions, please email me in advance so I have time to review them.
• Advice & Cues: While I provide alignment cues, modifications and equipment recommendations to guide you safely, you are responsible for listening to your body and working within your personal limits at all times.
• Pre-Class: Avoid heavy meals right before class. Please do not attend if you are ill or overly fatigued.

• Arrival Window: I welcome arrivals from 10 minutes before class starts. This gives me time to set up the hall and prepare my own body to teach you safely.
• Punctuality: Classes are one hour and begin promptly. Because the warm up is key to a safe and effective class, I’m unable to admit anyone arriving more than 10 minutes late. If you are running just a few minutes behind, please slip in as quietly as possible so as not to disturb the class.
• Mat Placement: To ensure a warm, welcoming environment for everyone—including new members and catch-up clients—all mat spaces are strictly first-come, first-served. There are no reserved, permanent, or “saved” spots! Please feel free to place your mat in any available space.
• Personal Belongings: Keep shoes, bags, and personal items against the walls, completely clear of walkways. Please keep glasses off the floor entirely and store them safely either on the window ledges or inside your bags to prevent damage.
• Environment: Please turn phones to silent (vibrate off). Wear comfortable clothing. Refrain from wearing strong perfumes due to respiratory sensitivities in the group.

• Payments: Full course payment must be made in advance to secure your mat. Payments are non-refundable, non-transferable, and cannot be carried forward.
• Class Swaps: I use the Bee-Inclined swap board for all catch-ups. Clients are responsible for managing their own swaps directly through the board. Swaps are offered entirely based on availability and cannot be guaranteed. If you miss a course, your space cannot be guaranteed on future courses.

• Emails: Email is the best way to reach me for any class questions or updates, as it helps me keep track of everything in one place. I respond to emails as quickly as possible during regular business hours (Monday-Friday) and am offline evenings and weekends. 
• Monday Zoom: If you manage to swap into a Monday morning Zoom class over the weekend using the swap board, rest assured your link will arrive in your inbox first thing Monday morning!
