You have questions. We have answers.

Of course you can. Flexibility and prior experience with yoga are not requirements.

Wear athletic clothes – basically anything you don’t mind sweating in is fine! Remember it gets H-O-T!

We do not recommend practicing on a full stomach. You can eat something light 30 minutes before class if you’d like. But most of our classes are heated, and we will be flowing, breathing, and sweating A LOT. Hydration is imperative, so bring a water bottle to class.

If you’re pregnant, please consult your doctor before starting or continuing to practice hot yoga.

Talk to your doctor first. Always tell your teacher if you have an injury, even if you think it’s small. We do occasionally give hands-on assists in this practice, and we would never want to put your body in jeopardy!

It is common in Baptiste Yoga to use hands on, alignment based assists to support you in your practice.

We know and honor that you might not want to be touched! No biggie at all. If you do not wish to receive any hands on assists from the teacher please just take a chip at the front desk and leave it with the “No thanks” side facing up on your mat!

Expect to flow, work hard, and leave feeling completely rinsed!

Here are our current policies on arrival and registration:

1. 1. All students MUST pre-register for class.
2. 2. On Elmwood, the studio doors lock at the start of class. If you arrive late, you will risk missing the class. We have a bit more flexibility on Main St. but we ask that you arrive on time to settle in and to limit disruption.
3. 3. Cancellation policy– We ask that you cancel 1 hour in advance to avoid losing your class for that day.
4. 4. Waitlist: You will receive an email and a text update up to an hour before class if you have been added to the class. Please only come in if you have received a confirmation that you have been added to the class.

If you’ve never done yoga before or have only taken a few classes, our PYBasics Class is a great place to start, however, If the Basics Class times don’t fit your schedule, feel free to attend any other class, and simply let the teacher know before starting that it’s your first time! We love new friends so don’t be scared to tell us you’re new!

Please bring your own mat, water, and a towel. We recommend a full-length towel, just in case. Beach, bath, or yoga mat towels all work!

Get whatever you are comfortable with to start. When you decide that you’re ready to invest in your practice, we suggest a sticky mat. We love BMat Yoga Mats, and sell them at each studio.

We HIGHLY recommend bringing your own mat to class. If you need to rent a mat from us it is $5. If you need to rent, please bring your own towel.

Pretty much! Every class on our schedule is heated to 90 degrees but you can definitely count on little to no sweat in classes like Yin Yoga or Restorative Yoga. We do still keep the studio WARM for those classes in order to keep your muscles and joints malleable.

Though we accept most insurance benefits cards, there are some plans that won’t cover Yoga, so it is best to call your provider beforehand.

ONLY in the credit card form. We do not accept online certificates for SpaFinder.

You can purchase a gift certificate online here or in studio when you come to class.

Yes!

We have one shower at our Elmwood studio only.

Our Main St. and Elmwood studios each have two bathrooms where you can change.

Class passes, workshops, and events are non-refundable. You can share the the 5, 10, and 20-class passes with family members as you choose. Unlimited passes(month, annual, weekly) cannot be shared between multiple students.

ALL of our class passes, regardless of when you purchase them, begin on your FIRST class in the studio. If you sign up for your first class and don’t make it, the pass will not start until you actually attend the first class using that pass.

YES.  We require pre-registration for ALL classes.
