Policies

Make-up Policy

Missed classes can be made up anytime within the same session (space permitting). Students may make-up in any age-appropriate class. Families may transfer the make-up to another household family member during the same session.

Drop-Ins

Space permitting, drop-ins are welcome. We are not able to reserve space for drop-ins in advance. Drop-ins should arrive up to 15 minutes early to sign in for class.

Coming to Class

  • Please feel free to wear any comfortable clothing to class (not too baggy, please) and bare feet.
  • There is no eating in the studio, so please eat well in advance of class (yoga is best done on an empty stomach).
  • Please turn off cell phones or leave phones in the dressing area.
  • Circle Yoga does not have a childcare program for students during classes and is therefore not able to provide the required supervision for children not taking classes at the studio.

Refund Policy

  • Classes: Full refunds, minus a $25 administrative fee, are happily given prior to the first week of classes. Pro-rated refunds, minus a $25 administrative fee, are happily given through the fourth week of any session. Sorry, after the fourth week of any session, no refunds can be given.
  • Workshops: Unless otherwise noted on our website, workshop refunds are provided minus a 20% administrative fee if the student cancels at least 48 hours before the workshop. Sorry, no refunds are given within 48 hours of the workshop.
  • Special Events: Day-long and special event workshops may have different refund policies, which are noted in individual workshop descriptions on our website at http://circleyoga.com/cy/workshops.

Weather and Emergency Cancellation

  • Class cancellations will be announced on voice mail (202.686.1104) two hours before class time.
  • Wednesday morning meditation will be cancelled when DC schools are closed or have a delayed opening.

Cancellation Policy for Private Sessions

Please notify the studio at least 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel a private session. If you cancel within 24 hours of the original appointment, full payment for canceled sessions may be required.

Adult Participation for Budding Yogis Classes

One adult must be present for family classes, Movers & Twisters, and Toddler Yoga. Other kids yoga classes are drop-off. Due to limited studio space, family members and friends are asked not to observe these classes.
