Welcome to Ivy Yoga House

Please arrive 15 minutes before your first class to sign in, get a studio tour and get settled in. The studio opens 30 minutes before each class.

We do not allow late entry to any classes or workshops. To ensure everyone is ready for their practice, please be on your mat, either sitting or lying down, when the instructor arrives. The door will be locked upon class start time.

Remove your shoes at the door. You can place your belongings in a cubby or shelf in the reception area, or bring them into the yoga room with you. The studio doors are locked during practice times.

Please turn off all devices, including phones and watches, or set them to sleep or airplane mode. Vibrate mode can be disruptive, so ensure your device is completely off. Devices can be left in the reception area with your other belongings.

Find a spot for yourself, grab any props you might need, and make yourself comfortable. Your instructor may suggest specific props as you sign in, or you can use what they have set up on their mat. Props are available on shelves in the yoga room. Feel free to experiment with props you’ve never used before.

There are three unisex washrooms just outside the yoga room, one of which has a shower for members to use, the studio is open 15 minutes after class, please be conscious of the instructor’s time if showering.

You may choose to sit or lie on your mat and stretch, catch up with friends, or quietly rest with your eyes closed in preparation for class. If you see someone resting quietly, please be respectful and keep conversations to a whisper. You may appreciate the quiet space yourself one day.

The final resting pose, Savasana (corpse pose), involves lying or sitting on your mat in a comfortable position – this could be lying on your back, stomach, having legs up the wall or being seated. This pose typically lasts between 3-10 minutes, depending on the instructor and the flow of the class. Your instructor will guide you into this pose, helping you relax and quiet your mind. We ask that you stay for the entire Savasana unless there is an emergency. The instructor will either guide you back to a seated position to close the class or leave you in Savasana to exit the room at your own pace. This will be explained during each class.

This includes the free studio class on Saturdays.
