NEW STUDENT FAQ

Do You Have Special Pricing For New Students?

Yes! We offer all new students unlimited classes for 1 month for $69. During this introductory period, you can visit as many classes as you’d like. In order to be eligible for this offer, you must be brand new to our studio.

At the end of your introductory period, you’ll have a chance to buy a full class package for 20% off the regular price, or get 20% off your first month’s membership.

How Do I Get Started?

Choose any class and arrive 15 minutes before the class. Before you arrive, we strongly recommend that you sign up for the class and pay online to ensure your spot in the class. Some of our classes tend to fill up and we don’t want you to get disappointed if there’s no room in the class.

If this is your first visit, it’s important to arrive at least 15 minutes early to fill out the necessary paperwork, meet your teacher, and get acquainted with our studio. If you don’t have your own mat, you can rent one for $2.

Should I Sign Up Online For Classes?

We want to do our best to make the process easy and simple for you. Signing up online helps us run our studio with efficiency. It also allows you to reserve your spot to ensure there’s availability in the class. Sign up for our classes HERE.

What’s Your Cancellation Policy?

Please be advised that if you sign up to class but don’t cancel at least 1 hours prior to class, you’ll be charged a $10 cancellation fee (if the class is full).

You must arrive by the start of the class or you will be considered a no show. If you no show for class 3 times, you’ll be charged a $10 cancellation fee period.

If you have any questions about this policy, please feel free to contact us at info@functionalyogamedicine.com.

Our main goal is to respect your time and your spot in our classes, as well as the time of our teachers. We appreciate your cooperation.

I’ve Never Done Yoga. Can I Still Participate?

Absolutely! Everyone has their first Yoga class, and our teachers are specifically trained to modify and tailor the practice to keep you safe and comfortable.

While our classes are designed for all levels, it’s highly recommended that you start with our “beginner” classes. You can read our class descriptions HERE.

Make sure to listen to your teachers and modify the poses according to our teachers’ recommendations if necessary.

If you’re new to Yoga, please let the teacher know and if you have any injuries or medical conditions, please inform your teacher so that she can make sure to keep your practice safe. Our teacher are professionals and are more than happy to help.

What Should I Wear And Bring To Class?

If attending one of our “hot” classes, we recommend Yoga shorts and a tank top for women, and a shirt and shorts for men. Women can also wear just a sports bra and men can remove their shirt if preferred.

For the rest of our classes that are non-heated, any sports wear that’s comfortable will be adequate.

Bring your Yoga mat. We love Manduka brand mats and have them for sale at our studio. We also recommend you bring a mat towel for hot classes and a hand towel to swipe your sweat.

Lastly, be sure to bring a water bottle to keep you hydrated during class.

Does Your Studio Offer Bikram Hot Yoga?

No, our signature hot sequences are not Bikram Yoga. While we do keep the temperature at 95-105 degrees, because our heating is radiant heating, it’s healing for the body and doesn’t feel as hot.

Our Hot 75 Sequence consists of 40 postures carefully curated to keep your body balanced. Inspired from Bikram, Ashtanga, and Pilates, our sequence allows for flexibility, strength, balance, focus, and detoxification to help you feel your best.

We also have a commercial grade humidifier in the room to keep the air moist.

How Should I Prepare For Hot Yoga?

It’s best not to eat 2-3 hours before the hot class. Yoga practice is best when practicing on an empty stomach.

If you are low on energy, we recommend a protein shake, healthy protein bar, nuts, or electrolytes.

We don’t advocate Gatorade or any other commercial drinks. We recommend plain coconut water, Emergen-C, or professional grade electrolytes that we sell at our studio.

Can I Bring My Kids?

Students must be at least 13 years of age to attend classes. If under the age of 15, they must be accompanied by their parent or guardian.

We also offer Kid’s Yoga classes as well as special events for the whole family. Please follow our Facebook or Instagram to learn about future events and discounts.
