Lobby Etiquette

The lobby area is a shared space between students, staff, and teachers. It is a place of connection, conversation, bonding, and relationship building. Although we love to see everyone connecting before and after class, please be mindful that the studio is a sacred space where people are practicing yoga, and these guidelines are to help promote a safe, warm, healing environment for all who enter.

• Keep voices low: Classes may be in session. Our walls aren’t soundproof, so keep voices low and take conversations outside when possible.
• Sign In As You Enter: Let the front desk staff know you’re present for class, even if you checked in online, or you’ve been to the studio a hundred times.
• No Loitering: The studio is a sacred space is for students, teachers, and staff, all other individuals will be respectfully asked to leave.
• Keep it neat: Place personal items and shoes in the cubbies and out of the way of the walking path.
• No Smoking, Alcohol, or Drugs: Tobacco use of any kind, smoking vape pens, ingesting drugs, and drinking alcohol are prohibited in the studio.
• Respect Boundaries: Only employees are allowed behind the desk and in the office. Respect people’s level of comfort with personal space. Don’t overstay your welcome; be mindful of open hours and arrive and leave within reasonable times.
• Silence ALL Electronics: Our walls are not sound-proof. We can still hear them from inside the practice room if a ringer, alarm, or buzzer goes off.
• Cultivate Respect: Cityoga is home to people of all ages, backgrounds, ethnicities, and personalities, each deserving connection and belonging. Be respectful to your fellow students, teachers, and staff before, during, and after class. If you have a concern or frustration, practice calm and clear communication.

Practice Room Etiquette

We have two practice rooms, the blue room and the orange room. The practice room is a sacred space where people come to unplug, slow down, meditate, find tranquility, and focus on their yoga practice. Please be respectful of the space as to not disturb your neighbors, and to provide a stress-free and quiet environment for all who enter.

• Arrive on time or early for class to minimize disruption.
• Notify Your Teacher: Of any previous injury, illness, or conditions that may impact your practice. If you need to leave early, let your teacher know and exit before savasana to minimize disruption.
• No Shoes
• No Cellphones: The practice room is a cellphone free space. If there is an unusual circumstance that requires you to have your phone near you, please inform your teacher.
• No Open Beverages
• Avoid Perfumes
• Respect the Silence: Silence is ideal upon entering the practice room.
• Respect The Sequencing: We encourage you to modify or rest when needed, but please be considerate of your surroundings and how your actions may impact others in the room. Respect the teacher’s sequencing and class structure.
• Clean Up After Yourself: Wipe down blocks, put away props neatly and as you found them, and wipe away any sweat off the floor around you.
