What should I do on my first visit?
On your first visit to the studio, we recommend you arrive 15 minutes early to sign in, fill out our waiver, and get accustomed to the studio. To expedite the process, you can create an account online through our Momence page.
Upon entering the studio, please remove your shoes and leave them in the lobby. We ask that you bring valuables into the practice space with you, and we provide cubbies for you to store items in each studio. Please remember to turn off or silence your cell phones to mitigate interruptions during class.
What should I wear/bring to class?
You don’t need designer yoga gear, just wear clothing that you feel comfortable moving in. Clothing that is stretchy and not too baggy works best. Most students prefer practicing barefoot.
Yoga mats are available for rent at the studio for $2 and small hand towels are available. If you tend to sweat a lot, we recommend packing a towel for class.
What class is right for me?
Our class schedule is intentionally diverse. To find the right class for you, browse our class descriptions and read our teacher bios.
For beginners, advanced beginners, and those coming back to their practice after a break, we recommend our Yoga Fundamentals class. This class builds students’ understanding of yoga postures, transitions, breath, Sanskrit, variations and modifications, and more, so that students feel comfortable entering any class.
Another great option for new students is our Mysore Ashtanga program. Mysore-style yoga is like a private lesson in a group setting. In this traditional way of practicing Ashtanga Yoga, students each work individually with a teacher in group setting, practicing a sequence adapted to each individual. For more info about Mysore-style Ashtanga, please see our info page.
How much does it cost?
All of our pricing is listed here. If you are new to the studio, we recommend you start with our New Student Offer which is $45 for two weeks of yoga. Sign up for the New Student Offer here.
How do I cancel my membership?
Bluebird Sky Yoga will cancel your auto-renewing membership upon the receipt by Bluebird Sky Yoga of written notification 30 days prior to the next scheduled auto-pay date. Written notification must be emailed to Bluebird Sky Yoga at Kris@bluebirdskyyoga.com.
I’m nervous about practicing in public, will everyone look at me?
Most students are so focused on what they are doing, they have no idea what other students are doing around them. Don’t worry, we have all been beginners and there is no judgement.
What is the class cancellation policy?
We ask that students please cancel their registration in class if they need to miss a class. Bluebird Sky Yoga will credit the pass to the student’s account if they are using drop-in passes or class packs for canceling their space in class up to two hours before the class.
What is the workshop and special courses cancellation policy?
Workshops and special courses are nonrefundable, but can be transferred to other clients.

Practice tips:
· Avoid eating large meals in the 2 hours before your practice
· Hydrate before and after practice
· Practice ahimsa (nonviolence) towards yourself; aim to find the balance between effort and ease in your practice
· Reserve classes and workshops early to secure your space and allow our staff to prepare the one of two rooms to fit the number of registered students

“The alignment flow has been crucial to me as an at home yogi attending my first groups classes- i love them! All the instructors I have had have been encouraging and run great classes”
