Policies and Procedures

Welcome to Ahimsa: Your Guide to Class Procedures

Prepare for Your Practice
Before stepping onto your mat, ensure you're dressed in comfortable attire that allows for unrestricted movement, whether it's your favorite sweatpants or a cozy yoga outfit. Don't forget to bring along your water bottle and yoga mat. Forgot your mat? No worries, you can rent one from us for just $2. As you enter our studios, rest assured that we've got you covered with water, tea, and convenient cubbies for your personal belongings.

Arrival and Setup
To make the most of your practice, we recommend arriving 15 minutes early. This gives you ample time to check in at the front desk, stow away your belongings, and set up your mat in our serene space. Before each class, we suggest grabbing one bolster, two blankets, two blocks, and a strap. Our instructors may also provide guidance on additional props needed for that day's session.

Dive Into Our Classes
At Ahimsa, we celebrate the diversity of yoga practices, embracing the unique essence each class and instructor brings. From alignment-focused Hatha and Anusara to invigorating Vinyasa Flow and Hatha/Vinyasa, each class offers a distinct journey. Delve into the soothing depths of Restorative and Yin practices, where relaxation takes center stage. Whatever your preference, find solace in knowing that your practice is supported and guided by experienced instructors who prioritize your well-being.

Booking Convenience
Secure your spot in advance by booking your classes online. This not only saves time at the front desk but also ensures a seamless experience for everyone. Please note that we operate on a cashless system to streamline transactions.

Additional Tips for Your Journey
As you embark on your yoga journey, remember that consistency is key. Allow yourself the opportunity to explore various classes and instructors until you discover what resonates with you. Embrace the support of props during your practice, and don't hesitate to modify poses as needed. Above all, approach each class with an open heart and a willingness to learn, for yoga is a lifelong voyage of self-discovery.

Thank you for choosing Ahimsa as your sanctuary for wellness and growth. We look forward to guiding you on your path to inner harmony and vitality.

Booking Policies - In Person and Live Stream

Late Cancel and No Show Policy
Your commitment to your practice is valued, and we kindly ask that you honor your reservations. Should you need to cancel, please do so at least 1 hour before the class start time to avoid a $15 late cancellation fee. Cancelations made prior to this timeframe incur no charge. Additionally, failing to cancel and not attending will result in a $20 fee. Class package holders will forfeit the class without incurring a fee. This policy applies to both In Person and Live Stream classes. If you encounter technical difficulties preventing your attendance in a Live Stream class, please reach out to us via email.

3 Chances
We understand that life can be unpredictable, which is why we offer flexibility. All students will receive 1 free "late cancel" and 2 free "no show" occurrences before charges apply. Charges will be processed within 1-7 days following the incident.

Live Stream Classes

Booking Live Stream
To join our Live Stream classes, ensure you book your spot at least 5 minutes before the scheduled start time. We encourage you to log in to the virtual class at least 5 minutes prior, allowing ample time to check your sound settings and ensure a smooth start for both you and your instructor.

Engage and Connect
At the commencement of each Live Stream class, we extend a warm invitation for students to briefly turn on their cameras and greet the teacher and fellow classmates. This simple gesture fosters a sense of community and safety for all participants. While participation is voluntary, please understand that instructors may remove students from the Zoom session if camera refusal compromises the class's integrity or safety.

Streaming on Zoom
Prepare for your Live Stream class by ensuring you have the Zoom app installed on your iPad or phone. If you're using a computer, no installation is necessary. Look out for email notifications from recordings@api.mb-zoom.com, confirm@api.mb-zoom.com, and reminders@api.mb-zoom.com, and be sure to add these addresses to your contacts to prevent emails from being marked as spam.

Class Recordings
As a bonus, all students who sign up for the class will receive the class recording after it's processed. You'll have 24 hours to enjoy the session at your convenience. Please remember to click the "Watch Now" link to avoid potential No Show fees. Let's ensure our virtual space is filled with engaged participants ready to embark on a fulfilling yoga journey.

Thank you for your cooperation and dedication to your practice. We look forward to flowing with you in our Live Stream classes soon!

At Ahimsa, we strive to accommodate our students to the best of our ability. However, we operate under a strict no-refund policy. In instances where you're unable to utilize your classes, we may consider offering a package extension as a gesture of goodwill. Similarly, if circumstances prevent your attendance at a scheduled event, you may be eligible for account credit, provided the class was not sold out. It's important to note that account credit or extensions are not guaranteed and are subject to review on a case-by-case basis.
