For series students, up to two make-ups maybe used in a class of the same length with any of the other Yogamala teachers. Make-ups MUST be used in the same semester in which the series was purchased, and cannot be carried over into future semesters (no exceptions!)
 
Cancellation Policy
If a class is cancelled due to weather, teacher emergency or other circumstances out of our control, either the class will be rescheduled or series students can make up the missed session in a class of equal length. At our discretion, the value of the class may be credited towards future series or drop-ins. We reserve the right to cancel a series class in the event of low registration. If you are pre-registered for the series, you will be offered the option of switching your registration to a class of the same length, or a refund of any remaining classes. Please make sure that your contact information is up to date.
 
Physical Wellbeing
Injuries: Please inform the teacher before the beginning of class if you have any injuries or physical issues.
Menstruation: In the Iyengar method, women who are menstruating are asked to avoid certain poses including strong twistings, abdominal work, and deep backbends, as well as any inversions. It is your responsibility to inform the teacher if you are menstruating before class. The teacher will give you a separate sequence or modify the class sequence as appropriate. If you have questions about the thought behind the menstrual sequence, please ask any of the Yogamala teachers.
