COVID-19 FAQ
Yes, we require proof of vaccination against COVID-19 for any in studio class or workshop. Please present a copy of your vaccination hard so that we may note it in our system. You should only have to show us once! Thank you for your cooperation.
In conjunction with Saint Louis County public health officials, effective 2/28/22 masks will be recommended but not required.
Our cancellation policy asks that you please remove yourself from any scheduled class you are unable to attend at least 3 hours prior to class start time (or 12 hours for morning classes) to avoid a cancellation fee.
Our registration window closes 2 hours prior to class start time. This ensures that there are enough students to meet our class minimum (2). In the event you miss the registration window, and our student minimum has been met you are welcome to drop in to class on a first come, first serve basis. In the unlikely event class has been canceled it will show as canceled on our schedule and anyone registered for classes will receive a text and email notification (if this information has been added to your Mindbody account).
Non-Members are those students who attend classes using a class card, drop-in class or new student specials.
All are welcome to redeem these forms of payments to attend any of our classes.

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.
No, but it is strongly recommended as we are operating at a reduced capacity. Our registration windows close 2 hours prior to class time. If you miss this registration window, please check our online schedule to see the available number of spots. If there are spaces available, you are welcome to attend on a first-come, first-serve basis.
We always say to start slow and build up from there. A great first class we recommend to beginners is our Stretch & Restore class. We offer this several times throughout the week and is a great way to ease into your practice. This is a slow class that incorporates passive holds, gentle breathwork and a way to settle into our studio in a non-hurried way. Once you take this class, you might ask your instructor for suggestions on what class to take next based on your personal goals!
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.
