policiesShala Yoga Bunbury Etiquette
Late entry to class is strictly not permitted
We have a strict no late entry policy. Once the doors are locked, the doors are locked. We will not open the door. Please do not bang on it and disturb the class. This is out of respect for the teacher and fellow yogis. Please make a conscious effort to be set up and on your mat a few minutes before class starts. This means allowing plenty of time for you to travel to the Shala, park and arrive without rushing.
Reception opens 15 minutes before class and 15 minutes after class.
All students must sign in at reception before entering the Shala.
Phones and other personal belongings are not permitted in the Shala, please leave them in the available cubbies.
Please ensure your phone is switched off, or turned to aeroplane mode.
Spaces in the Shala are limited to ensure safety and comfort.
Please place your mat on the markers.

Bookings are not compulsory however we strongly recommend you book for peak class times. Book using Mindbody, either via our website or Mindbody App. Classes can be booked up to 14 days in advance. Only book (including the waitlist) if you are 100% committed. Booking requests in person at the desk or via email must only be made as a last resort. Please first try booking via Mindbody. Bookings close 5 minutes before class.
If you can no longer attend, please cancel your booking as soon as possible and give someone else an opportunity to attend. You must cancel 2 hours prior to class commencement to avoid incurring a Late Cancel Fee. If you fail to attend class OR fail to cancel your booking 2 hours prior to class commencement, you will be charged a Late Cancel Fee, which is equal to the value of the pass being used to pay for the class (i.e. you forfeit that pass) or in the case of unlimited passes a fee of $15 will be charged to your account. If we are unable to process the payment, future booking restrictions may be applied until the fee is recovered.

If at any time you feel discomfort or strain, gently come out of the posture. You may rest at any time during the class. It is important in yoga that you listen to your body, and respect its limits on any given day.

As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. If you experience any pain or discomfort, you will listen to your body, discontinue the activity, and ask for support from the teacher. You will continue to breathe smoothly. You assume full responsibility for any and all damages, which may incur through participation. You understand that Yoga is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment. Yoga is not recommended and is not safe under certain medical conditions.
