COVID-19 FAQ
As of May 18th, 2021 masks are no longer required for fully vaccinated individuals. We do request that unvaccinated individuals continue to wear masks to help us comply with our state and local mask guidelines. We will monitor the situation closely and update our policies as needed.
Currently, we are holding classes out of our Maplewood Studio. Our South City studio is closed for renovation and will likely be reopen in the fall/winter of 2020.
We have outdoor classes most days of the week. You can choose to take classes at Ryan Hummert Park in Maplewood and/or Tower Grove Park in South City. The Tower Grove Park classes will be held at the Roman Pavillion in the center of the park. If the weather is nice, class may move outside into the grass nearby.

Studio & Class FAQ
Wear comfortable clothing and layers are suggested. Typically the start and end to class is slow and does not generate much eat. Removing layers and adding them back on during savasana (final resting shape) is common.
In normal times, you do not. Read about our COVID-19 policies here.
You are welcome to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to class and our front desk staff can happily get you registered. If you have created an account online but not purchased anything before, please notify our staff so duplicate accounts are not created.
Please Note: Studio doors lock at the start of class. Please arrive early!
Slower paced classes such as Yoga Basics, Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga (Vin-Yin) and Slow Flow are all great places to start. These classes focus on intentional movement and typically include more stretching. You can attend any of these classes and speak with your instructor for suggestions on classes that may suit your individual needs.
No. We offer drop-in classes as well as class cards to lower the cost of our drop-in rates. Please note class cards do have expiration dates and extensions will only be made out of medical necessity with approved MD note.
Memberships are the most economically favored option for those with a consistent practice of 2-3 days/week.
We do have a limited number of mats available for your use at no additional cost. However, it is recommended that you bring your own mat when possible. We also have mats available for sale that you may purchase in studio.
Speak with your primary care practitioner and see if Yoga is safe for you. If approved, speak with your instructor prior to class so that they may accommodate any needs you may have.
Adjustments can be a great way to enhance your practice. They may be used to assist you into better alignment or deepen you into more restful state of being. However, we understand that adjustments are not for everyone! We use trauma informed practices by offering adjustment cards for every student. This is a discrete way to let us know if you prefer hands on contact during your practice.
