Thinking about rolling your mat out at the Dojo?  Here are some helpful tips from our team to help ensure a smooth and pleasurable practice.

  • What do I need to bring? First and foremost, an open mind. Leave those words "I can't" at the door.... Trust us, YOU CAN. We wouldn't ask you to try if we honestly didn't believe in you. We will challenge your mind and body to do new (and sometimes difficult) things. Being open to new ideas and change will help set you up for growth and success, both on and off the mat.

  • But seriously, what do I need to bring? Please bring a mat, water, and anything else you would like to make your visit and practice more comfortable. If you do not have a mat, we have Lululemon mats available for rental ($2 cash) or purchase.

  • What should I wear? What would you be most comfortable wearing while moving, bending, and stretching? Wear that. Also, very important... please shower prior to coming to class, and do wear clean clothes. We are all breathing through our noses as we practice. No one wants a stinky mat neighbor disrupting their practice, and no one wants to be the stinky kid in class (although, inevitably, we are all that kid at some point or another).

  • What time should I arrive at the studio? Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to scheduled class start time in order to fill out intake forms, get acquainted with the space, and pick out your practice spot. The front door will be locked at the start of class. We do not allow late entry, as it is distracting to the instructor and other practitioners.

  • This is my first time practicing yoga (Rocket or other). What class should I take, and what can I expect? We recommend starting out with one of our Bottle Rocket or Vinyasa Flow classes, which are designed to be beginner friendly (and marked as such on the schedule). They move through the fundamentals, and teach the foundation of the Rocket sequence without frills or amplifications.

  • I have practiced yoga before. What class should I take? ALL OF THEM! Seriously, though - we usually recommend checking out one of our vinyasa classes available at sunrise, lunch, or most evenings, as we tend to stop and break down the trickier poses in those classes. The Vinyasa Flow, Bottle Rocket and Rocket 1 classes are also great to get jump start on the Rocket. If you are looking for a challenge, check out one of our Rocket 2, 3, Hand Balance or Backbending classes.

  • I have an injury or condition that could adversely affect my practice. What should I do? First and foremost, consult your doctor and get the proper clearance prior to attending a class. We want you to be safe. Secondly, please note your condition or injury on your waiver, mention to the front desk staff, and also to your instructor so they may offer modifications to suit.

  • Are you a hot studio? No, we do not heat our classes, as we feel that the practice and breath should be generating all of the heat you need.

  • Do you have showers? YES! We do charge $3 cash for towel rental. We do have changing rooms, a secure storage area for all of your personal items during class, and THREE bathrooms with a golden toilet. OK, just kidding - there's no golden toilet. But the shower in the women’s/they changing room is close….

  • Do you offer gift cards? Yes! You can purchase in any denomination HERE.

  • Do you offer a student, teacher, or healthcare worker discount? Yes, we do a discount on drop in rates, and on the one-month unlimited rate. Please have a valid student ID on hand, or email hello@theyogadojorva.com to get set up.

  • What is your cancellation policy? For regularly scheduled classes, early cancellation window is 6 hours prior to class start. If you cancel within the 6 hour window or no-show, it is considered a late cancellation and you will be charged for the class. If you are on an unlimited pass, you will be charged a $10 late cancellation fee. All workshops and special events are non-refundable and non-transferable. This is because we are holding a spot for you, and a cancellation or no-show could prevent another student from being able to participate in the class. Thanks so much for your understanding.
