Mysore Etiquette

We ask you to maintain a quality of mindfulness while you are in the space.  We intend to create a safe and inviting place where practitioners can focus entirely upon their practice.  When the beauty and solitude of the space is honored, Mysore-class can be amazing!  So what follows is what we consider Mysore etiquette:

  • Please sign in and be sure that you’re paid up before starting class.
  • Please place class fees on the altar at the front of the yoga room and not on the clipboard, as money is occasionally taken from the clipboard.
  • Please do not eat for at least 2 hours prior to practice and do not drink water during class.  This will make the practice uncomfortable for you.
  • In addition to bringing a yoga rug/and or towel for your own use, please bring a towel that the teacher can use for your adjustments.
  • Please bring all valuables inside the studio.
  • Please turn off your cell phones.
  • Please place your mat down gently so as not to disturb others.
  • When you enter and leave the room, please close the door after you to prevent a draft and do so gently.
  • Please honor the silence of the room.
  • Please be mindful of your own cleanliness so as not to disturb others around you:
    • Please shower before coming to class
    • Please wear clean clothing.
    • Please ensure that your mat and towels are clean and odor-free
    • Please refrain from wearing any perfumes or scented body products or clothing detergents.
    • If you sweat profusely, please be sure to bring extra towels to mop up your sweat before you leave.
