FAQs &
Etiquette Guide
We are delighted to welcome you to our studio for a yoga or fitness class. Here are some tips to ensure that your experience is a pleasure both for you and those around you:
Please bring a yoga mat & water bottle. Yoga mats can also be rented or purchased at the studio.
Please remove all footwear at front entrance
First time to Exhale?
Please arrive extra early (20 minutes) and sign a waiver at reception.
Doors will open 30 minutes prior to scheduled start time and will be locked during the duration of the class. Please arrive 10-15 minutes before class and be on your mat at least 5 minutes before the class start time. Late comers are not permitted.
All students must sign-in by presenting your scanner card (pass) to the receptionist before entering a class.
Please leave valuables at home and store all coats and personal belongings in the change-rooms to keep the studios tidy and spacious.
Please turn off or mute all cell phones upon entering the reception area. Cell phones are not permitted in the studio.
Please keep voices low while in the reception area and change room. The studio is a silence only zone. Please use the reception area for conversations with friends and teachers.
Please refrain from wearing scented products (perfumes, after shave, etc.) as some students are extremely sensitive.
Come well hydrated and with a light stomach (avoid eating heavy foods for 2-3 hours before your practice). Wear bare feet and light weight clothing that is easy to move in.
Let your instructor know if you are pregnant, or if you have any injuries or medical conditions they should be aware of. If you have serious allergies or medical conditions such as epilepsy, type 1 diabetes, heart conditions, high/ low blood pressure, etc. please insure reception has proper up-to-date emergency contact info.
If you know you will need to leave class early, please place your mat near the door, and exit before savasana begins.
We recommend that all Exhale students receive our e-mail newsletter, to stay current on holiday closures, schedule changes, registration periods, pass discounts, and special events. You can sign up for our newsletter on our website.
To reserve your spot for drop-in classes, we recommend you sign in on-line. If you can not make a booking, we require 3 hours advance cancellation to make space for those on the waitlist. If you do not cancel your booking on-line more than 3 hours in advance, you may be charged or lose the privilege to pre-book in the future.
Exhale does not issue any refunds or credits for missed classes or unused passes. Pre-registered class and workshop cancellations must be given with at least 48 hours notice. If you are unable to attend due to medical reasons (doctors note required) a credit may be issued to your account to use at a later date.
Practicing yoga a few times weekly is recommended for continuity and growth; however, 1x or 2x per week is also extremely beneficial. Try various styles and teachers to find your niche.
Yoga is non-competitive. Please go at your own pace. Be respectful towards your body, never moving to the point of pain, and rest as needed.
Most importantly, relax and enjoy! Yoga is a powerful, delightful, and transformational practice, leaving you feeling refreshed and energized. Cumulatively, the process will enrich every aspect of your life, providing balance and inspiration for body, mind and spirit.
