Studio Etiquette

Bikram Yoga Westshore is a place that has an an easy going energy, yet is still full of life! In order to help create and maintain this energy, as well as maintain a safe and respectful environment, we ask our students to please adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Please maintain the silence of the room before, and after class.
  • Remove your shoes upon entering the building.
  • If you are not in the yoga studio, and there is a class in session, do your best to speak in a lower volume.
  • Please do not use perfumes or overly scented items for washing/drying clothes or on the body.
  • Have an appropriate costume – shorts, capri pants, sports tops – please no bikinis, no underwear.
  • No glass in the hot room.
  • No cellular phones or other electronic devices in the hot room except emergency pagers set on vibrate.
  • If you do have to leave the class for an emergency, let the teacher know you are ok.
  • Please have clean feet and hands, if you smoke please wash your hands before entering the studio.
  • If you are a ‘heavy sweater’ please use the small towels provided to wipe up your area after class.
  • If you have rented a mat please leave it in the container provided for you in the changerooms.

Please be aware that the studio closes 30 minutes after the last class.
