FORM {yoga} is Atlanta & Decatur’s home for safe and accessible in-studio and on-demand yoga instruction. Please scroll below to read our extensive approach to safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We can be safe and still bring the levity to your practice. Fun and community centered, our yoga studio located in the City of Decatur focuses on supporting our students with expert guidance and plenty of playfulness. From beginner students to the most experienced yogis, our light-hearted approach is warm, welcoming, and accepting. Wherever you are in your practice, you’re always welcome here!
FORM{yoga} teachers lead classes from their strengths while guiding you in a safe, supportive, and non-competitive atmosphere. And while we’ve outgrown our former, smaller studio space shown in the video below, our teachers still give personal attention so that your practice grows with every class.
There’s something for everyone at FORM. Check out our weekly schedule to find the right FORM {yoga} class for you.

- Fresh air is the best air: We modified our HVAC system to pull in only fresh air, no recirculated air. 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 proven to filter ultra-fine particles. Slightly shorter classes: We want to minimize exposure and maximize your practice. All indoor classes will be approximately 50 minutes in length.
- Slightly Shorter Classes: We want to minimize exposure and maximize your practice. All indoor classes will be approximately 50-60 minutes in length.
- Properly fitted masks required: Our motto is safety first, always. Masks are required for all classes. Properly worn over your mouth and nose and at all times. Yep, even if you are vaccinated (our community is made up of a good of amount CDC and Emory employees, they agree!) Our teachers will also be wearing masks to keep you safe. Science proves masks work and we believe in science.
- No shared props, no chanting, no intense breath work: Our goal is to minimize exposure and maximize safety. At the beginning of each class, 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 without sharing the name of the infected individual.
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. Here for seasonal outdoor classes? Check out our outdoor protocol and policy here.
- 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.
- Mask up at all times: To keep our community safe we require masks be worn properly at all times from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you walk out the door. Yep, we are vaccinated too and we believe masking up for a bit longer is the best way to do no harm. Ahimsa, y'all. Sorry, for the safety of our entire community of teachers and staff there will be absolutely no exceptions to this rule.
- Wash your hands, yo: First things, first! Upon arrival head to the sink to wash your hands before checking in with the teacher. If you arrive early feel free to wash your hands in the restroom, just let us know when you enter.
- Keep your stuff with you: You can leave your shoes by the cubbies and carry your belongings to the mat with you. Please make sure your phone is stowed away and on silent. No cubby use please. We do offer cubbies to rent on a monthly basis, email us to secure one!
- 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. 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 May 15 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 Mindbody or the Mindbody 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 Mindbody 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 Mindbody 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:
