Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach out to the owner via

text (951) 844-6262

or at Aura.Laura.Monk@gmail.com

if you cannot find an answer to your question below.

Texts always get a faster reply time than emails. :)

Do I need experience to attend your classes?

You do not have to be an experienced yogi to attend most of our classes. However, some classes are easier than others. The level of the classes will be posted next to the class on our weekly class schedule. Teachers are trained to guide & support you, as well as adjust the classes to the level of the students, and keep in mind that you are encouraged to listen to your own body and go at your own pace.

Are your classes suitable for all ages? Is everyone welcome?

Weekly classes are mostly for ages 13 and up to whatever age. (Kids under 18 years will need written consent forms from legal guardian to take classes.) We do offer kids classes as well. (Coming soon). There is no maximum age, as we trust that you are aware of your own physical limits. * Workshops & classes may have their own age restrictions based upon the facilitator. And yes, we do welcome everyone from all races, ethnicities, backgrounds, cultures, orientations. We want to create an inclusive environment here. What we care about more is your moral integrity, kindness, and positive attitude.

How do I pay for classes? I don't see a pay link? Do you take Claqss P:ass?

Until we get our online booking system up, and our POS system running, we will be doing things the old-fashioned way for a few weeks. Simply, text or email the owner that you want to take a class or book services, and that will all get done through her. She will personally send you the pay link and verify the classes with you via text. Yes, we WILL be taking ClassPass as soon as possible.

Do you give senior or essential workers discounts?

Yes, we offer seniors (65+) & essential front line workers 10% discounts on any weekly classes. (This doesn't apply to already discounted classes, package deals, workshops, events, or spa treatments.) * See Laura for details and requirements.

What should I wear to class?

We recommend wearing comfortable, breathable clothing that allows you to move freely and feel like you. For yoga classes, you may wear yoga clothes, but you don't have to wear tight yoga outfits if that isn't for you. Typically, yoga classes are done barefooted. For workshops & events, the attire will be posted on each event posting.

Do I need to bring my own mat or props to yoga class?

Although we do recommend bringing your favorite yoga mat, you can always borrow one of ours in the studio. We just ask that you follow studio signs and sanitize after each use with our wet wipes after use. We do recommend bringing a hand towel and a water bottle. (WATER ONLY ALLOWED)

How early can I show up to class? What is considered late?

We do not like students showing up late to class. It is very distracting for the teachers and other participants, and causes a disruption in the flow of class. We ask that you show up 10 minutes early to classes in order to get prepared and settled. It does take time to find a spot, take off your shoes, set up your mat, get the props, unwind, ground yourself in the present moment, and help the teacher stay on time. ~ "Early is on time, and on time is late."

Can I attend classes without becoming a member?

Yes. We have a variety of payment options and class plans. See our "prices & payments" page for more details about this. Everyone also gets to take their first class with us for $10. (about 50% OFF) Note: This applies to weekly classes only and not to workshops or special events.

Do I need to make a reservation?

You don't have to make a reservation for weekly classes generally speaking, however, it is advised to call in beforehand to make sure there is room in the class. You may come in to take weekly classes anytime you would like. You will be required to pay for any weekly classes before attending. For "treatments (like massages, and spa treatments) you do need to make an appointment and pay before the session takes place. Workshops & Events may book up and have limited seating, so we encourage you to reserve and pay for your spot ahead of time.

What if I need to cancel my reservation?

If you are paying on a "per class" basis, and find that you cannot attend a class that you already paid for, you can get a credit to a future class at another time. We typically do not give refunds for pre-paid classes, but we will offer a class at another time for you. Workshop and Events refund policies are at the discretion of the facilitators leading the events. For massage and spa treatments, we require a 24 hour cancelation notification (in writing) in order to not be charged for the saved time spot. Thank you for your consideration in these policies.

Do you give text reminders for classes, and treatments, and workshops, and events?

At this point in time we do not. When we establish our POS system , and our automatic booking system, those reminders will happen. Right now, it's all Laura (the owner) doing this the old-school way until we get those programs solidified. At this time we need everyone to manage their own times and schedules independently to get there promptly & on time. Thank you for your patience during these beginning weeks.

Do you offer private lessons?

Some teachers do offer private lessons. You would need to talk to each individual instructor about this, or contact the owner, Laura Monk, to inquire about your wishes.

What is Holistic Wellness?

Holistic wellness is an approach to health and well-being that nurtures the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. It recognizes that our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being are interconnected. Through practices that encourage relaxation, balance, self-awareness, and personal growth, holistic wellness helps us reduce stress, reconnect with ourselves, and create a healthier, happier, more harmonious life.
