Cancellation Policies for In-Studio Classes

With COVID-19 protocols in place, space is very limited for in-person classes. To ensure that our studio space is not wasted, we ask students to always cancel reservations for classes they cannot attend. The following cancellation policies apply to in-studio class reservations:

  • For cancellations made at least 2 hours in advance of the class start time, the student retains their class credit to use at a later date.
  • For cancellations made within less than 2 hours of the class start time, the student will be billed a late cancellation fee of $10 but will retain their class credit to use at a later date.
  • If a student does not cancel an in-person class reservation and does not attend the class, the class credit will be deducted from their account. If this occurs more than three times during a single session, students will also be assessed a $10 no-show fee for each class beginning with the fourth missed class.

Waitlist Policies for In-Studio Classes

  • Joining the waitlist for an in-person class commits you to taking the class if space becomes available, unless you actively remove yourself from the list. If you no longer want to take the class, log into your account and click the WAITLIST button to remove your name from the waitlist.
  • If you are pulled from the waitlist but are no longer available to take the space, follow the directions in the email or text notification to remove yourself from the class, or email us at support@circleyoga.com. If you are not able to come to class and we do not hear from you, the class credit will be deducted from your account.
  • We close the waitlist 60 minutes before the class start time, which gives you at least 60 minutes to get to class if space opens up.

Sharing Classes with Family Members

Family members living in the same household may share class registrations or passes. Family members living in separate households are not permitted to share registrations or passes. Learn more about how to share classes with your family members.

Family Yoga participation

Family Yoga is a two-participant class. The fees listed here cover one adult/child pair for Family Yoga. This is the only class for which the fee for one class covers two participants. If you have more than two family members participating in a Family Yoga class, those additional family members (children or adults) must sign up separately. For more information and assistance in registering additional participants, contact us.

Weather Cancellations

  • If there is any winter precipitation, or if there is a weather emergency, be sure to check the Circle Yoga home page or call the studio (202-686-1104) to be sure your in-person class is still on. Any class adjustments or cancellations will be posted on our website (except in cases of power outage) and announced on studio voicemail AT LEAST ONE HOUR before the scheduled start time of a class.
  • Students who have reserved space in an in-studio class that is cancelled (or moved to an all-virtual format) can use that class credit for a future class within the same session. We do not issue class vouchers or refunds for weather-related cancellations.
  • Students who wish to cancel an in-person class reservation due to weather conditions may do so without incurring a Late Cancel Fee. Contact us to request the cancellation.
  • When making decisions about weather-related delays or cancellations, we do our best to assess the relative safety of roads and sidewalks around the studio, so that our students will be safe. We also have to consider the travel conditions for our teachers, most of whom do not live in the immediate neighborhood.

Private Session / Massage Cancellations

Please notify your massage therapist or private session teacher at least 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel an appointment. Full payment is required if cancellation is made less than 24 hours in advance.
