For your safety, a nonslip Yogitoe towel is required on top of your mat in all of our hot yoga classes. These are for sale in our retail area (see below). If using another brand, towel must be specifically designed for hot yoga and made of nonslip material. Regular bath towels are not acceptable, and have resulted in accidents in the past.
The following persons may not participate in any of our hot yoga classes due to age or existing medical conditions.
18 and under must have a signed parental consent form prior to attending any yoga classes
Warning: Participating in more than one hot class per day is not recommended or endorsed by Better Bodies Yoga and may be detrimental to one’s health, resulting in irreversible damage.
A Yogitoe towel must be used in all Hot Yoga Classes to avoid slipping and excessive dripping on our state of the art yoga floor. Yogitoe towels can be purchased in our retail area and if you have an active class card, you will receive a discount when a purchase is made. (Only one discount valid per purchase, cannot apply other specials) Yogitoes towels are placed on top of a mat, rubber side down for sweat and slippage control. They come in various colors to choose from. A regular towel or a beach towel do not provide traction and are not acceptable in hot yoga classes.
All classes start promptly on time, which can be viewed from the schedule on our website. Any student walking in 15 minutes after class has begun, will not be allowed to enter that class. We DO NOT allow observers to sit in any class and watch.

Better Bodies Yoga is a scent free studio, which means that strong scents such as smoke, cigar, perfume, or unclean body odor will not be tolerated and will result in being asked to leave ~ politely of course! Many of our patrons are battling cancer and undergoing rigorous treatments, have asthma, COPD (lung disease), and sinus issues and thus cannot function around such odors. Yoga is based upon the premise of using diaphragmatic breathing to enhance, energize, heal, and purify the body and mind, therefore, such scents defeat the purpose.

Any person 15 years of age and below may not sit in the reception area while the parent or guardian takes a class.

The yoga practice of a child is different from the practice of an adult. If you would like to bring your child to a regular yoga class, you must adhere to the following criteria please:
A separate consent form must be filled out for each child by a parent or legal guardian prior to attending any class.
A parent or guardian must be participating in the class with any student under the age of 16 at all times.
Your child must practice next to you and in the back of the room by the door so you may leave quietly if needed.
Your children are your responsibility to watch and to make sure they do not hurt themselves.
If the instructor feels they can align your child, they will do so unless told otherwise by the parent or student.
If your child becomes a distraction to the class or teacher, the instructor reserves the right to ask you to quietly leave, expecting your full understanding and willingness to comply. If you have to leave the class for any reason, say to use the restroom or answer a phone call, you must bring your child with you.
We do not allow students under the age of 16 in our regular classes without a parent or guardian and do not take responsibility for any person that age unless it is in our kid or teen classes.
