Etiquette (Before Each Class)

The Yoga and Pilates are conducted in the back of the building. Just drive around back to the door marked with #306 Round Rock Sanctuary.

These are some recommendations to enhance your practice and observe basic yoga courtesy for the benefit of your fellow practitioners:

If this is your first class, please arrive  15 minutes early to complete paperwork. If have any pre-existing medical conditions, please consult with your doctor before starting a Yoga practice.

  • Plan on arriving a few minutes early to avoid rushing to allow yourself to relax prior to class.

    If you arrive late, wait for the class opening to conclude. Then enter quietly and do your best not to disrupt the class.

    Note: For safety reasons, late arrivals cannot be accommodated more than 15 minutes after class starts.

  • We love children, but cuteness can be distracting. Please plan on checking with your teacher prior to bringing your children to practice. We have yoga classes that accommodate children and families.
  • Please leave your cell phones outside the studio or turn them off during practice. If you have an emergency situation, please let your instructor know prior to the beginning of class.
  • Be respectful and keep conversations low when arriving and leaving the studio. The yoga space is a place where people often relax and meditate.
  • Keep the air clean in the studio. Please refrain from tobacco use, using perfumes, heavily scented deodorants, or colognes prior to practice. Since yoga is a cleansing practice, even those persons with no allergies or sensitivities can be significantly affected by scents.
  • Remove your shoes after entering to keep the practice area clean for everyone. There is a designated place for shoes and personal belongings for your convenience.
  • Let your teacher know of any special needs or medical issues to allow her/him to help your find modifications that will make your practice more enjoyable.
  • Enter with an empty stomach. Drink and eat no more than 1 1/2 hours before coming to class. Yoga is a cleansing process that can be inhibited and uncomfortable with a full stomach.
  • For hygiene issues, bring your own mat, a towel, and a non-breakable closed water container.
