FAQS

Our class registration process is done entirely online. We didn't start out this way (there was a summer of cash bags and card swipes), but we've chosen an online booking system for more than a few reasons: 

+Online signups reduce the stigma of our sliding-scale pricing.

+Online booking and a quick check-in frees up the instructor to connect and talk to more students.

+Not having a front desk setup is one of the many ways we keep our overhead down so we can offer affordable yoga.

+A cash-free space keeps our instructors safe.

+Some of our venues have limited space and signing up online ensures you have a spot in a class.

You have three options. Heads up, options two and three do not guarantee a spot if the class is full. 

1) Add a family member to your account. If this guest will attend more than once, this is the best option. Login to your Wellness Living account on a computer (function not available in the app), click your profile photo > My Profile > "+ Family Member". You'll be able to book this guest into class and pay for their spot.

2) Make a donation to our current cause at paypal.me/yogawild and bring your guest to class. They will fill out a paper waiver when they arrive and we will create their Wellness Living account and add them to the roster after class.

3) Do nothing in advance and bring your guest to class. They will fill out a paper waiver when they arrive and we will create their Wellness Living account and add them to the roster after class using the Good Vibes ($0) rate.

All attendees must sign up in advance. You have two options.

1) Add a family member to your account. Login to your Wellness Living account on a computer (function not available in the app), click your profile photo > My Profile > "+ Family Member". You'll be able to book this guest into class and pay for their spot. 

2) Buy a gift card. Your guest can use this gift card to book themselves into class within their own Wellness Living account. 

We wouldn't be an inclusive company if we only allowed people with bank accounts and reliable internet access to sign up for class. We will make a cash-and-punchcard arrangement with anyone who asks. The arrangement can be made by phone, email or in person before the start of class.

It depends😉If you are new to yoga but partake in regular activity (walking, hiking, cycling, etc.), drop-ins are a great place to begin. The teacher will offer many ways to try on poses based on different bodies and offer explanations of the poses. However, these are multi-level group classes that follow a moderate pace.

If you are interested in starting a movement routine or new to an active lifestyle, many of our series or private lessons may be a better option.

Anyone who needs it — anytime, no restrictions. It's not free yoga. It is good vibes. With this pay-what-you-can option, we are holding space for people to give however they can. They may pay $10 or $5 or they may bring a friend. Or share on social media. Or write a review. All of these impact a small business. People don’t feel less-than for not paying. They feel empowered to find other ways to give and support.

For most yoga studios, yoga clothes and bare feet are the norm. We are a little different. We encourage comfortable clothes for class. Some spaces can be chilly depending on weather. We encourage layers (socks, sweatshirt, etc). Many students will start and end class with socks but peel them off in the middle. Wear and do what makes you comfortable.

This is not hot yoga. We aim to keep our studio at 85 degrees. Depending on season this may involve fans or a space heater.

Yes! We have a dozen mats in our studio and a dozen mats that travel to our outdoor classed.

Yoga Wild drop-in classes do not include music. We do offer special events that may include live music but that will be clearly stated in the description. Many of our offerings are downtown in the thick of urban noise or outside with nature sounds or a mix of both. Sometimes the sounds may be pleasant (bird songs) or distracting (ice buckets or sirens), plugging in to the sounds of the community or nature is another opportunity to practice yoga.

Life happens, traffic happens, and (argh!) parking meters happen. If you arrive during the first 5 minutes of class, take a deep breath (it's okay!) and enter the space quietly and efficiently. If you are more than 5 minutes late, plan to come to another class. The early portion of class (integration) is necessary to warm up and prepare your body and mind for practice. Missing those essential components presents a safety risk.

Drop-ins and Events: Email us at hello@beyogawild.com at least one day in advance for a full refund or credit, your choice. On the day of or after we can apply a credit to your account.

Series and Workshops: We will issue a full refund before the start of a series if there is a waitlist and someone is available to sign up in your place. After the start of the series we can not fill the space therefore can not offer a refund. Email hello@beyogawild.com to request a refund and we'll do our best to fill your spot.

Drop-Ins: Our booking system handles the waitlist automatically. If someone cancels their booking, the system will move the first person on the waitlist into the class. When this happens, you'll receive an email and text message notification so you'll know to come to class. Please do not come to class if you have not received a notification to do so. You will be charged for the class when you join the waitlist, but you will be credited back if you do not get a spot in the class.

Series & Workshops: If a series or workshop is sold out, please email hello@beyogawild.com and we'll add you to the waitlist. If someone cancels their booking, we will email the first person on the waitlist, add them to the class roster and send an invoice. This invoice must be paid prior to attending class. The class roster closes 24 hours before the class starts. No one will be moved from the waitlist into the class after the roster closes. Please do not come to class if you have not received a notification to do so.
