Frequently Asked Questions
Can I try out a class?
Sure! Individual classes can be purchased for $18 each and there is no commitment to continue attending classes. If you enjoy your class, you are most welcome to try out another, and/or purchase a pass for multiple classes based on current pricing.
How do I sign up/pay for a class?
Ashley asks that all clients sign up for classes ahead of time via the free Schedulicity app— you can simply click the “Book Now” button on the homepage to do so. Payment is taken in-person, prior to class beginning, and cash, check, and card are accepted. You are also welcome to use Venmo or PayPal to purchase classes, as well. All pertinent payment info can be found at the studio.
Do you offer modifications for your classes?
Always. Ashley’s teaching style focuses on accessibility, adaptability, and consideration for all sizes, ages, and abilities.
How do I know which class to select?
Beginners are encouraged to try anything with “beginner,” “all-levels,” “gentle,” and/or “restorative” in the title. If you have yoga experience, you are welcome to try out any class with “flow,” and/or “power” in the title. Beyond these suggestions, clients are encouraged to read through the class descriptions and try out any class they’re interested in!
Do I need to bring my own equipment?
Clients are asked to bring their own yoga mat, but Ashley does have extras on-hand to use, free of charge. Props such as blocks, bolsters, straps, eye pillows, and blankets are always available to use.
I want to do yoga, but I’m concerned about an injury/pain/etc. I am experiencing. Is it safe?
Ashley encourages clients to share any and all injuries they are recovering from, in order to help them modify safely.
Can I do yoga while I’m pregnant?
Absolutely. Ashley is certified in pre/postnatal yoga and offers classes specifically for pregnant and postpartum individuals. Ashley’s #1 priority is making yoga accessible and inclusive.
I’ve had experiences of being embarrassed or shamed about my body/experience level/ability in the past, how do I know this experience will be different?
You will NEVER feel unseen, left out, or bad about the body you bring to class with you.
Do I need to be super flexible to take your classes?
Nope. We work with what we got, and Ashley sees to it that every client is able to practice based on their individual needs/abilities.
What should I wear to class?
Please dress comfortably, in loose-fitting clothing for gentler classes, and more form-fitting activewear for faster-paced classes.
Do class passes expire?
Yes, ALL CLASS PASSES— drop-in, 3-class passes, 5-class passes, and 10-class passes— EXPIRE 6 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE DATE (unless otherwise stated). Ashley also asks that you be courteous of your fellow yogis (as well as to respect her time and energy), and please only sign up for classes that you intend on committing to. If nobody is signed up for a class at least 30-minutes prior to class start time, Ashley cancels said class and will not be available at the studio.
What can I expect when I arrive to class?
Please enter thru the back entrance, coming into the waiting room, turn right and head up the stairs to the small yoga studio space and large 1:1 office space. There is a coat rack and shoe rack outside of the studio space. Props can be found inside the studio, on the shelves to the right. Payment is taken prior to class/service.
Yoga Etiquette
-
Getting to class about 10 minutes early can help you settle in and align your attitude with the purpose of the class. While you’re waiting you may practice a pose, do a few stretches or just sit or lay quietly, breathe, and get centered.
-
Let your teacher know about any injuries or conditions that might affect your practice. If you are injured or tired, skip poses you can’t or shouldn’t do, or try a modified version.
-
Please do not bring cell phones to class. If you must, please keep your phone on silent/vibrate, out of respect for the class. Leave your shoes in the hallway and belongings in the hallway or cubbies in classroom.
-
Please try your best to be quiet. It’s great to share a class with people you know, but extended or loud conversations can distract yourself and others from the practice.
-
Do what you can without straining or injuring yourself. You’ll go farther faster if you take a loving attitude toward yourself and work from where you are, not from where you think you should be. Always honor yourself and your own practice.
-
Please be mindful and pick up and neatly put away any props you use.
-
Please do not enter class late or leave early; it is disruptive to others. Please try not to leave during Savasana.
