Welcome to Bija Yoga

We’re so glad you’re here. To help create a safe and supportive environment for everyone, please keep these simple guidelines in mind:

Cleanliness & Props

  • Our studio prides itself on maintaining high standards of cleanliness.

  • We supply all the props you’ll need, including mats (though you’re welcome to bring your own).

  • Please return props neatly and with care, leaving them as you found them—or better.

  • We appreciate students arriving clean and fragrance-free; please avoid perfume, heavy jewelry, or nail polish that may mark floors and props.

  • Be mindful of metal buttons or sharp objects that could damage the equipment.

Health

  • Please let your teacher know if you have a medical condition, injury, or are recovering from illness.

  • Please inform the teacher if menstruating, pregnant, or going through menopause so the practice can be adjusted.

  • Teachers may consult with colleagues who specialize in areas such as scoliosis or restorative yoga if extra guidance is needed.

  • For ongoing conditions, please consult your physician before attending.

  • Out of care for others, kindly avoid class if you have the flu or any contagious illness.

Getting to class 
 

  • The N Train stops right across the street from the studio.

  • Parking: Free 3-hour parking is available in Golden Gate Park (about 1.5 blocks away), along with nearby lots and street parking.

​​

When You Arrive

​

  • Please aim to arrive on time and sign in before entering the practice space.

  • The front door is usually open, and there’s a lounge area where you can wait before class.

  • If you do arrive late, we kindly ask that you wait outside the practice hall until the opening chant is finished, so as not to disturb others.

Before & After Practice
 

  • Practice on an empty stomach: allow at least 3 hours after eating before class.

  • Avoid sipping water during practice to maintain the inner heat you are cultivating.

  • After class, wait about 30 minutes before eating to allow the effects of practice to settle.

Class Conduct

  • Please help us keep the space quiet; conversations belong in the front lounge.

  • Silence all cell phones, pagers, and digital devices before class.

  • Wear comfortable, modest clothing that allows free movement (shorts, leotards, or footless tights are best). Long baggy pants are not recommended.

  • Remove your shoes before entering; clean, bare feet are essential.

  • Try not to leave the room during meditation or śavāsana.
