Where do I sign up for classes and see your schedule?
You can sign up for classes and view our class schedule right from our website under our class schedule page or directly on our page on the Mindbody App! Pre-registration is required for in person classes. It is strongly recommended and encouraged to secure your spot in a class, and to ensure class runs as scheduled. We reserve the right to cancel class if less than 3 students are registered. Time and energy are valuable and we want both students and teachers alike to have the best experience possible.
What classes do you recommend to beginners?
Our classes will all offer modifications and variations for beginners, but some styles we offer can be a better fit for beginners as well. Our chill buddha class has a slower pace and less intensity than our salty buddha vinyasa class, followed with relaxing postures, which can be great for beginners and enjoyed by all levels of students. Our zen buddha and yin buddha classes are appropriate for all levels from beginners to advanced, and incorporate gentle movement with floor-based postures and longer held stretches with a more meditative approach.
What if I am not flexible enough to do yoga?
FALSE! We get this question all the time! Yoga is for everyone, you do not need to be flexible to practice. Our teachers are passionate about sharing the gift of yoga with everyone and will always make you feel supported wherever you are in your practice. You do not need to be flexible or “in shape” to practice, but you will be surprised how your flexibility will develop mentally, physically and spiritually!
Can I come if I have never done yoga before?
YES! Welcome! We are all beginners at some point in our practice. We would be honored to guide you through your first experiences with yoga. Our empathetic, supportive, knowledgeable and kind staff will always meet you where you’re at, no matter what level class you take here at the studio. If you’re looking for a floor based practice to get you started our zen buddha classes offers a blend of gentle yoga, yin and restorative. Our signature Salty Buddha Vinyasa Style classes are accessible to all levels, with variations for beginners to experienced students. Always look on the schedule to see if we are currently offering a beginner’s yoga class, dedicated to the foundations of yoga.
What is your Cancellation Policy?
In order to respect the time of our staff members and students, we do have to honor our cancellation policy. If you cancel within 12 hours before class starts you will be charged a $20 late charge fee/the class pack will be used for the late cancellation. If you are feeling ill, of course we will waive that fee - just email us to let us know! Info@thesaltybuddha.com
What should I bring to class?
A mat, water and a towel. If you like to use your own props, bring them along! We do always have extra mats to borrow free of charge as well.
