 Yoga
Class Etiquette
PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY SO THAT YOU ARE IN THE STUDIO BEFORE
THE CLASS BEGINS. If you are late, please wait to enter
the room until after the OM’s have been chanted and once students
have started moving. Enter the room very quietly so you do not disturb
the students and the teacher in class. It is disrespectful to slam
the door or to snap release your mat. Instead, please close the
door without any sound and unroll your mat very slowly and quietly.
Please do not enter the class if you are more than 10 minutes
late. We believe that it is very important to complete
the whole yoga class (60 or 90 minutes) because of yogic respect,
your well-being, commitment to your practice, and the sense of community.
Thank you for staying present and committed to your yoga practice
before, during, and after classes.You are not permitted
to enter the 6am & 6:30am classes late. There is no
manager on duty for these early morning hours so the doors will
be locked 5 minutes after the class has begun. Please arrive early
so you can enjoy your whole experience at SHAKTI. Thank you for
being a part of this dedicated respectful community.
Yoga Classes and Memberships
All classes and membership fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Workshops and special classes are not included in memberships. Class
and membership fees may occasionally increase each year due to the
cost of living but we always keep our prices very reasonable and
we sometimes offer membership specials.
Freezing “Temporary Holding” or extending Membership

A membership or class package expiration date may be adjusted only
for medical reasons. It is the student’s responsibility to

5 class packages expire after 30 days and the 10 class package expires
after 90 days. Those expiration dates may only be extended due to
sickness or if injury prevents you from coming to class. We are
sorry that memberships and class packages may not be extended to
accommodate vacation dates.
 Level
