Etiquette

Here are some of our studio tips to assure you get the most out of your practice.

Try not to eat at least 2 hours before your practice.  You will enjoy your practice much more!

Arrive at the studio at least 10 minutes before your class starts.  Please check in at the front desk before entering the studio for class.

Remove your shoes upon entering The Lemon Tree as a way of respecting the ancient tradition of the East and to provide a clean environment in which to practice.

Please do not wear perfume or heavy scents.  It can be distracting to your fellow yogis!   Taking a bath or shower both before and after practice refreshes the body and mind. 

We suggest purchasing your own yoga mat.  We have mats for rent in the studio but it is not as hygienic or as meaningful as practicing on your own mat. 

Wearing comfortable clothes---> leggings or shorts and a t-shirt that is not too baggy will help your teacher guide alignment in poses.

Please bring a towel if you think you need one for a) sweat or b) slippery mats

Please be considerate of other students by keeping your voice down when a class is in session.

Please turn OFF all cell phones prior to entering the studio.

Tips to remember while in class:

Please do not step on other students’ yoga mats!

Do not come to class if you have any contagious condition.

Always remind your teacher of any injuries or special health conditions before class begins.

If a student arrives late, be gracious and make room!

It is ok to sweat during practice.  It assists the purification process through movement and heat.  Bring your own towel or practice rug to absorb sweat--our blankets are not to be used for the purpose!

No food or beverages in the practice area.

Please never enter or leave a studio when the class is centering, in savasana or in meditation.  Let your teacher know if you have to leave class early.

Please keep the yoga room tidy during class by placing all personal belongings (wallets etc) on the shelves provided inside the yoga room, not near your mats.  Please return all props to their place. 

We are happy you have joined us on your journey to self-awareness, peace and love.

All Class Passes and Gift Certificates may be purchased in the studio!
