STUDIO ETIQUETTE.

it is asked that you arrive early, as it is a disturbance to the class flow when you enter late.
please remove your shoes before entering the studio.
please wipe your own mat & place equipment back neatly after class, unless the instructor tells you otherwise.
do your best to stay on the mat at the end of class. guided relaxation helps your nervous system absorb the benefits of your practice. if you must leave early, please let the instructor know before class. it is our core value – be mindful, not mind-full.
we are a phone-less studio. please ensure your silent phone is left behind at the pigeonholes & not brought to the mat with you. this will help you focus on yourself, prioritise your workout & most importantly, allow your mind to reset. feel free to utilise our waiting room for your insta-worthy shots.
we can’t keep track of all your bling, or be responsible for your valuables. please leave all belongings in your basket.
we are a cashless, paperless studio – all transactions may be completed in the studio with a credit card.
if you have a special circumstance or injury, please let the instructor know before class begins.
if life gets in the way & cancellation is a must, please do so at least three hours before your allocated class. a fee will incur within the three hour window, or if you simply do not attend. if something comes up, please email us on contact@soba.com.au & we can help you out x
