You can contact us at questions@formyoga.com.
- Fresh air is the best air: We modified our HVAC system to pull in only fresh air from outdoors. That's right, no recirculated air! This is the apex for limiting exposure to aerosols and we aren't afraid to say this protocol works. The unit will remain on during all classes and at least 30 minutes before and after each class.
- Hospital grade HEPA filters: Yeah, we are not recirculating air but we are taking no chances in keeping you safe. The filters have been tested to filter ultra-fine particles.
- Choice of vaccinated classes: For our vaccinated students you have the choice of attending classes with other vaccinated students or attending open classes. Please note-we do not allow walk-in students for our vaccinated classes, you must pre-register in advance.
- Slightly shorter classes: We want to minimize exposure and maximize your practice. All indoor classes will be approximately 50-60 minutes in lengths
- Masked & Mask Optional Classes: We have just opened our schedule to offer some mask optional classes for our vaccinated students. All other classes not titled "Mask Optional & Vaccinated Class" still require well fitted masks to attend. Please visit our website to see our weekly schedule of classes.
- No intense breath work: Our goal is to minimize exposure and maximize safety. The teacher will guide the students on how to properly and safely breathe with the least potential for aerosol spread.
- Increased cleaning: After each class floors will be mopped and all high touch surfaces will be disinfected. Hand sanitizer and hand washing stations are also provided for our students and staff.
- In-house contact tracing: In order to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 we require all students to tell us if they have tested positive for COVID-19 after attending class. If a positive case is confirmed we will notify each student in attendance of the potential exposure. Since reopening for indoor classes in November 2020 we have had zero community spread!
Not sure what to expect?
We’re dedicated to keeping you safe, and informed too. Please read our additional studio protocol & policy below so you know what to expect.
- Doors open 10 minutes prior to class time: You didn’t get the class time wrong, in order to limit exposure we kindly ask that refrain from gathering in the hall and instead wait to enter the building. Enjoy the fresh air and Vitamin D outdoors while you wait for the doors to open.
- Sanitize your hands, yo: First things, first! Upon arrival head to the desk to sanitize your hands before checking in. If you arrive early feel free to wash your hands in the restroom, just let us know when you enter.
- Sign yourself in: After you clean your hands look for your name, alphabetically listed on the iPad and click the circle next to your name. If you did not pre-register there is a chance you may not get into class, we strongly encourage you to reserve your spot in advance. Note: walk-in's are not allowed for our vaccinated classes.
- Find your place: Yoga is all about finding yourself, but you gotta find your spot first. Look for two little stars on the floor to mark your personal physically-distanced spot to unroll your mat. Spots are marked at 6-7' away from your closest neighbor. Please be mindful of not placing your items on a neighboring spot.
- NEW Tardy Policy (effective 5 minutes ago): No late attendance once class has started. We’re putting this policy into effect. It’s best for our posse — to be safe, to respect the sanctity of each class, and to benefit your fellow students’ practice.
NEW! Registration Window and 4 Hour Cancellation Policy Effective April 1, 2021
- Due to how quickly classes get on the waitlist after they are open for registration as well as an increasing number of class cancellations and no shows, effective April 1 the pre-registration window is 7 days in advance.
- 4-hour cancellation window: Can’t make a class? Hey, life happens. Just log on to FitDEGREE or the FitDEGREE app at least 4 hours prior to class — no phone calls or emails please — to cancel your registration without penalty. Easy-Peasy.
- If you are on the waitlist for class you will be notified up to 4 hours before class, no later. Note: the waitlist will not be utilized within 4 hours of class starting and on occasion a previously waitlisted class may have spaces open up. You can always check on the class status by heading to FitDEGREE to see if a spot opened up. And please make sure you enable Mindbody to send you emails or texts in your profile so you will receive the notification OR log in to your FitDEGREE account to check your placement.
- Unclaimed registered spots for full classes may be given to waitlisted, walk-in students before class starts. To keep your reservation plan to arrive in studio on time.

Seva is the art of giving back to the world. The act itself is a gift to everyone involved, from the giver to the receiver and to everyone the receiver comes in contact with. When we partake in this process we are truly living our yoga off the mat.
In the spirit of Seva you can invest in making the world a better place, one action at a time. With your generous donations to any of our Seva programs we are able to provide access to yoga to those who are in need. Seva is an act of kindness and compassion and is given with gratitude. Through these humble actions offered with love, Seva is believed to be a pathway to self-realization, spiritual growth and at the same time contribute to the greater good of an individual and in turn, the whole community.
We have 3 ways which we give back through this program:
