Studio Maximum Capacity - Korsi Yoga is fortunate to have a large practice space in which classes are held. However, there is a limit to how many bodies can comfortably fit per class. Once this number of people are registered for class, we would ask that remaining students return to take a different class. Registering online is recommended to save a spot in class, but if you register online and come to class after class has started and the class is already full, we will kindly ask that you return to another class. You will find Korsi logo stickers on our yoga room floors. Please place your mat behind the sticker, with the top, short edge, centered to the sticker.
Latecomers - Students can arrive a maximum of 10 minutes late! Latecomers should wait for seated meditation/centering to finish before entering the room. 10 minutes after class has started no late comers will be admitted and we will kindly ask that you come to a different class.
Lost Items - Korsi Yoga will not be responsible for lost or stolen items under any circumstances. We under no circumstances will hold items for you at the front desk. We have lockers in our changing room, however, please refrain from bringing valuables into the studio.
The studio provides a Lost and Found box for items students may leave behind. On the first day of each month these items, including yoga mats, will be removed and donated or disposed of.
Inclement Weather Cancellations - In an effort to keep everyone safe during inclement weather we will need to cancel classes from time to time. If Fulton and Cobb County Public Schools are closed, day classes will be cancelled. Evening classes will be held as scheduled unless we notify you otherwise via Facebook or email. If Fulton and Cobb County Public Schools have a one or two-hour delay, the studio will open at noon.
ETIQUETTE
You will need a mat, towel and water bottle. We do have mats and towels available for students to use at no charge, but most people prefer to bring their own.
Please leave your personal belongings in the locker room. No cell phones or bags in the studio.
Please remove shoes, flip-flops and socks before entering the studio and place in provided cubby.
Arrive 5-10 minutes early to class.
Avoid wearing fragrances, lotions and aftershaves to class.
Please observe silence in the studio.
Be sure to be well hydrated before coming to class. Bring a water bottle but drink sparingly throughout the class.
Prepare to sweat heavily, so make sure to have an absorbing towel to place over your mat. We recommend hot yoga towels, however, a regular towel from home will work as well.
Do not eat anything for at least an hour before class and avoid anything overly filling or heavy.
Take breaks when needed, lie in a comfortable pose for as long as you need. We ask that you do not leave the room, unless necessary.
