A reminder of our YOGA ETIQUETTE:
1) PLEASE USE THE SHOE RACKS IN THE LOBBY. Your fellow yogis are
tripping over shoes that are randomly left on the floor, particularly in front of
the elevator and stairwell entrance!
2) Do not wear colognes or perfumes in the class. If you happen to be
wearing cologne/perfume, please jump in the shower before your class
begins.
3) Remember that the yoga is a detox and a cleanse, so if you are
coming down with a cold, or coughing up during the class, please take a box of
Kleenex into the yoga room with you. It is important to rid the body
of any mucous in the most discreet way as possible.
4) When drinking water during the class, please take care not to
crinkle your bottles.
5) Please take your water breaks when everyone is in Savasana (Resting
pose), especially during the standing series.
6) As you become more familiar with the series and with your own body,
if you need to take a break during the class, it is always best to "stand
still" first. If that is not enough, then of course "sit down" on your
mat. You should really try not to go into a "lying position" until after
Tree and Toe stand.
7) If there is a puddle around your mat, please use one of the mops at the
back of the practice room to alleviate your personal puddle before leaving the room. This will ensure that the practice room will be more inviting for the next class coming in. Your understanding is appreciated, as is your Karma (Action) Yoga.
8) Please exit the practice room quietly, walk lightly on your feet and take care to open and close the door quietly behind you to respect silence during final Savasana.
9) Please talk quietly in the lobby when a treatment in the Wellness Clinic is in session.
10) Please Hang your coats in the closet by the entranceway, with your shoes on the racks. Coats are NOT to be taken into the changerooms.
11) Please do not take personal bags and or purses into the yoga room.
12) Please be mindful and respect your neighbours.
13) Please put a dry towel down if you are wanting to sit down or lie down on the carpeted area in the lobby. Your understanding on this matter would be much appreciated.
14) Please do not put wet towels or yoga mats on the floor at the back of the hallway while going off to shower. This makes for unpleasant puddles on the carpet and also clutters up the back hallway for people to come and go.
15) Please hang your rental mats, or storage mats on the mat racks provided at the back of the hallway at the end of your class. Especially in the winter time, avoid hanging them over the window railings as it tends to remove the plastic that is there to help cut down on energy costs. Also please avoid dropping them on the floor while you change or shower. This not only soaks the carpet, but also creates a hazard for the heavy traffic flow that happens before and after class.
16) Please come early. Class starts on time. No Latecomers will be allowed into the practice room. Thank-You for your promptness and your understanding on this matter.
Please take note that all of our class packages, 10 class
card, 20 class card and Buddy Card are good for 6 months.
This is to ensure you get the most for your money. When you practice
Bikram Yoga regularly you receive the most benefits.
If the Yearly Membership is unreachable for you in one lump sum, talk to Tara about arranging a Monthly Payment Plan. Please note a committment of 12 months is required with a signed contract.
Just a reminder to always double check the Schedule Page for any updates or changes to the schedule, especially over holiday weekends, and with the CHANGES OF SEASON.
Remember to stay hydrated in the heat, use electrolytes in your water.
All the best in health and happiness.
Wishing you a Joyful Summer!
Tara & the Bikram Yoga Centre/Wellness Clinic Team
