Studio Policies
CREATING SAFE SPACE :
POLICIES for Your
Practice
Because Shri has always been an outreach studio first, we are just starting to grow our OPEN schedule to the public since building out our gorgeous new space. So, if there is a time you would like to see added to our schedule, please email us!
Shri Studio Classes…
Require all students in OPEN classes (public) to SIGN UP BEFORE SHOWING UP
Why? Because we want to best serve our students with an efficient front desk & class communication; also our funders require outcome reports for free classes to continue
Are either ONLY in person or ONLY online
Why? Because we want to be fully present for one group at one time
Begin on time and the door to the studio locks when classes are in session
Why? Because we want to provide the most present experience for all our students while respecting the privacy of our other tenants*
If not free, are supported by low-cost passes that are non-refundable and non-transferable (no credit) within a 24-hour period of a class start time
Why? Because it's a standard organizational procedure and a show of respect for everyone's valuable time
If not free, are supported by low-cost passes that are non-refundable but transferable (credit) if re-booked within a 24-hour period of a class start time
Why? Because we understand “life” happens and you can better use your class purchase (credit) at another time with 24+ hours notice
If supported by a 10-pass pack, expires in 6 months
Why? Because yoga is a practice, and we believe 6 months is a reasonable amount of time to hold your 10 studio spots while also keeping the studio running efficiently and transparently for the whole community
The minimum age for a student to attend an open class is 16 years old
Why? Because we want to offer the most safe and appropriate class material for one group at a time (for anyone under 16 years old, we can offer private group sessions / outreach in schools (email your request here)
*(exception: adaptive classes when we have direct support professionals in the lobby to help with RIDE busses and group transportation issues, the studio door will remain open during class)
