Respect for oneself and others is a key feature of yoga, and so we would kindly ask all our members to please adhere to the following guidelines in order to allow everyone’s experience at House of Yoga to be a peaceful and fulfilling one:
- Please arrive at least 5 minutes before your class, and 10 minutes if it is your first time at House of Yoga, as you will need to fill out a registration form.
- Inform your teacher if you have any injuries, have had a recent operation, or are pregnant. We and our teachers reserve the right to ask you not to attend a class if we believe it would be in your best interests owing to an injury or medical condition. House of Yoga is not liable for any injuries sustained on our premises.
- Ensure your phone is turned off or on silent (not vibration mode), remove your shoes before entering the studio and leave them, along with your phone and any other belongings, in the secure waiting room.
- The studio space is there to provide a calm, peaceful environment for all practitioners. We practice respectful silence when entering the studio and waiting for class to begin, as well as after class when exiting the studio. Please refrain from any loud chatter inside the studio.
- Yoga is best practiced on an empty stomach, ideally two to three hours after your last meal. If you need an energy boost before class, we suggest having a light snack (like fruit) or juice.
As House of Yoga is situated in a residential area, we strongly urge our members to please be mindful of our neighbours, and to arrive and leave the studio in respectful quietness.
There are three off-street parking spots at 43 Heather Street, in front of the studio. If these are full, members should park in the street, but please DO NOT park in any of our neighbours’ driveways or block any driveways or road entrances. Please note, House of Yoga accepts no liability for any loss or damage to your property.
Yes, we offer private yoga classes on a one-to-one basis and in small groups. Private yoga tuition is a great way for you as a yoga student to deepen your practice, focus on a particular set of poses or asana, or work through a specific injury. Please get in touch if you would like further information on our private yoga sessions.
