• Listen to your body and proceed at your own pace, regardless of what other participants are doing. Drink water before class and stay hydrated during class.

  • Daily is ideal! Yoga must be practiced on a regular basis with no long lapses of time in between lessons to be effective. If you are new, a minimum of 10 classes in 30 days is recommended. Once you start practicing regularly, you will be more motivated to do yoga. Not only is it fun, but it works! The time and effort you put in will return to you tenfold return.

    Please cancel at least 24 hours in advance. Filling reserved spots is vital to keep YHC operating and allows our teachers to plan accordingly - thank you!

    2nd and all subsequent time(s): $10.00 per class.

    No Show & Late Cancellation Fee = $10. *If a cancellation takes place within 1 hour of the start time of class.

  • We are fortunate to be able to offer waitlists for classes where the number of students exceeds the allotted space in a class. Waitlists apply to in-studio classes.

    There are a limited amount of waiting list spots available for each class, and if you are added to the class/event, then you will be notified via email and/or text to confirm your reservation.

    Please note that Yoga Health Center MBO notifications must be ENABLED to receive these notifications. To turn on these notifications, log into your YHC MBO account and select Profile/ Personal.

    If you're on the waiting list, wait for the alert that the waitlist has cleared. We do not recommend showing up without this because there is no guarantee you will be allowed there will be space for you in the class.

    Waitlists are a highly valued, extra service that we provide. Using them requires that you reply to your notifications once you get off the waitlist and into class. And, they require that you take yourself off of a waitlist if your plans have changed. You can do this, either by waking up early enough to check to see if you got into the class, or remove your name from the waitlist the night before if you no longer want to take the class. Allow your YHC friends to have your place in class. The next time it might be you who will be delighted by coming off a waitlist!

    The same close attention that you give to pre-registering and canceling classes applies to waitlisting. If you can not follow up or track your waitlists, then please do not use them. To use the waitlist, you must have your text notification turned on in your MindBody account.

    Whether you are on a waitlist or are one of the fortunate students coming off the waitlist and into class, there is a responsibility to follow through when your status changes.

    This is the text similar to the one you'll receive if you make it off the waitlist and into class. ‘You've been added to In Studio 1 - 60 mins. HOT26+ Yoga. w/ Regina @ 7:00 AM on "date" @ Yoga Health Center. Text "Y" to attend, "N" to decline, or "STOP" to unsubscribe. Msg & data rates may apply.’

  • Leave your shoes outside all the studios.

    Turn off your cell phone or put on silent.

    Use a locker in the locker room or a small "valuable locker" to store your phone, car keys and/or wallet. Phones and/or earbuds are not allowed in the studio.

    Please be silent once the class begins and throughout class so the teacher can safely guide you and all students can experience a peaceful class.

    Refrain from asking questions to the teacher or aimed at other students during class. Asking questions during class interrupts the flow and timing of the class for everyone. If necessary, follow-up with the teacher after class for clarification about things demonstrated or said during class. In general, our teachers are available for 5-10 minutes after class to answer your questions. If you want to schedule more time with them, please arrange for a private lesson or private consultation.

    Please return props neatly to the prop room, take all your belongings and exit the studio quietly.
