Shala Etiquette by Elise Espat
Here are some guidelines that we use at the Albuquerque Ashtanga Yoga Shala for a pleasant and productive practice environment. Every Shala and teacher is unique, so if you are going some place new, be sure to check in with them about suggestions for practice.
Please respect the lineage, the teacher, other students, and yourself by following these guidelines.
Arrive to practice on an empty stomach. Do not bring any drinks into the Shala.
Turn off all electronic devices before entering the Shala.
Wear clean, comfortable, stretchy clothing similar to what one would wear to the gym. Avoid wearing jewelry and tie back long hair. Shoes are not worn inside the Shala, we practice with bare feet. Do not wear anything with perfumes and shower before practice.
Bring a clean towel and your own clean yoga mat. You may also rent a mat or purchase one at the Shala.
Settle your tuition before you begin your practice.
Notify your teacher well and before you begin practice of any pain, soreness, injury, past surgeries, pregnancy, illness, fasting, etc.
If you are an experienced Mysore student, on your first day at the Shala practice the primary series.
Do not skip, add, or modify the traditional sequence unless requested.
Do not add any new asanas unless they are given.
Maintain silence and if necessary, speak quietly.
There are no classes on Moon Days or Saturdays. The first three days of menstruation are also a time for rest.
Practice at home if you are sick, take rest if you have a fever.
Everyone sweats. Clean any moisture left on the floor around your mat before you leave.
