CLASS POLICIES

Class Cards: Class card may be purchased at the studio. Note: Lost, stolen, or missing cards cannot be replaced. Cards will not be extended beyond their expiration date.

New students are welcome to join any class during the session. However, we recommend students new to yoga start with an Intro or Level 1 class.

You may drop-in to any class on the current schedule.

Classes and times may change at the discretion of the director based on attendance and teacher availability. Please check the website for the current schedule.

Student Release: All students must fill out a release form which will be valid for the length of a student’s study at the Santosha School of Yoga.

Weather/Emergency Cancellations: The Santosha School of Yoga does not strictly follow the weather cancellation/delay policy of Carroll County Schools. However, we use them as a guide for closure. See the links below. In the event of weather conditions that prohibit safe travel to and from class, class will be cancelled at the teacher’s discretion. An announcement will be left on the School’s voicemail at least 1 hour before class, if possible to determine that much in advance. In the case of class cancellation due to illness of the teacher, we will attempt to notify regular students prior to class. Please make sure the instructor has your cell or home numbers.

Winter weather and classes
For information about classes scheduled, call 410-857-0890 to listen for the latest announcements. If there is no change of announcement, please call our director if the weather seems like it could worsen during classes.

Information on closures and our Snow Policy: We will follow McDaniel and/or Carroll Community College cancellations. If Carroll County public schools close early, evening sessions will likely be cancelled. If schools are delayed in the morning, classes may run at teachers discrection. Call the studio to see if your class has been cancelled. If there is no message update, then please use your discretion when deciding to drive to class and call the director, 410-875-0890, to verify if class will be held.

Equipment: Students are encouraged to bring their own yoga mat to class each week. Mats are available at the studio whenever a student forgets his/her mat at which time we ask for a $1.00 donation to the studio. Santosha also provides blocks, straps, and blankets.

Cell Phones: Please keep cell phones silenced or turned off during class. In the event of an expected emergency call (Example: from babysitters or children) please keep phone at your side, set on vibrator mode or on lowest volume setting. During the 10-15 minute final relaxation, we ask that all cell phones be turned off completely.
