Etiquette
- Arrive on time. Doors open 30 minutes before class. Doors are locked at the start of class. Latecomers will not be admitted. No exceptions.
- Bring with you an open mind, sharing positive thoughts, words, and actions with your Teachers and fellow students. Never underestimate the potential of a big smile!
- Be sure to sign-in for every class.
- Shoes are to be left in the lobby.
- Please be sure to silence all cell phones upon entry into BYLV.
- Be conscious of air-quality. Deodorant is great, but heavy cologne, perfume, or wearing essential oils is NOT!
- Please bring only you, your mat/towel, and water into the room. All other personal belongings are to stay in the lobby or changing areas. (No keys, cell phones, plastic bags, or handbags)
- Glass bottles are not allowed inside the yoga room. Disposable AND Non-disposable water bottles are available for purchase.
- Practice silence inside the hot room. Help to create and preserve a sacred, quiet space, conducive to meditation and transformation.
- Respect the Teacher.
- Listen to the detailed instruction in the Dialogue to gain maximum benefits from your practice.
- Move together. Doing your own thing in your own time is an unnecessary distraction. We share this room. We move together for 90 minutes.
- Do your best to stay in the room for the duration of the class. If you feel faint or dizzy, stand, sit, or lie quietly on your mat and breathe.
- If you have questions, please ask them before or after class, but never during. Keep the class-time meditative.
- You receive maximum benefits from your practice by resting in Savasana for at least 2 minutes at the end of each class. This is YOUR time. Cherish it.
- When you do choose to leave the room, please do so quietly. Walk mindfully and open/close doors carefully, so as not to disturb your fellow students who are choosing to stay in the space longer than you.
- Enjoy the peace and serenity you’ve worked so hard for. This is available to you each and every day! Be sure to hydrate, and make up your mind to come back tomorrow.
