About the Studio

Asana (a·sa·na) defined simply as a pose or position in yoga.

House of Asana is home of the rebel yogi and fitness lover. We provide a range of classes from slow restorative yoga to fast paced power yoga classes. We also offer workshops, private sessions, and events! Most of our classes are heated with infrared lights.

We offer an unpretentious and results-oriented community that’s invested in your goals and success. Our core values are grit, authenticity, community, and compassion.

Check your ego at the door and get ready to sweat!

Studio Etiquette

1. Arrive on time

Rushing into a yoga class is stressful and distracting for both you and your classmates. Be sure to arrive at least 5 minutes early to class to set up and allow the instructor to start on time.

Got a few extra minutes before class begins? Sit quietly and focus on your breath, or do a few gentle stretches to warm up. And please, avoid picking your toes. (We wish we were kidding.)

2. Remove your shoes

Yoga is practiced with bare feet. While going barefoot is courteous year-round—even during flip-flop weather—it’s especially important during rainy months and snowy seasons, when mud and slush are common. By removing your shoes, you’re not only helping with studio cleanliness, but you’re respecting a space that’s revered and cherished by others.

3. Check your ego at the door

Looking for a hardcore workout, complete with grunting, straining, and popping veins? Please look elsewhere. The yoga studio is not the space for showing off your superhuman strength or your competitive edge. If anything, you’ll garner a few eye-rolls and alienate those around you. Remember, you’re here for yourself—not anyone else.

Beyond the competition and showing off, mind your mood. Gossip, complaining, and negative attitudes are not for the studio. Like the saying says, everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind and respect others.

4. Mind your personal hygiene

This advice swings to both ends of the spectrum. First, please bathe, brush your teeth, wash your hair, and use a clean mat and a clean towel. Second, mind heavy perfumes, oils, and colognes, as strong scents travel easily during class. Regardless of which end of the spectrum you’re on, you’re subjecting those around you to your personal biome. Please make it a tidy and pleasant one.

5. Devices are a no-no

So just put it on silent, right? Not so fast. For many (if not all), yoga class is a chance to escape the digital addictions and distractions we face in everyday life, offering you a rare chance to be fully present. Expecting an important call or a do-or-die text? Consider skipping class altogether, and returning when you can fully focus. If you are looking to timelapse your class, please make sure your phone is set up prior to class beginning and that it is not disruptive to others. Photos can be taken before or after class for social media but not during. 

6. Be aware of your space

Yoga classes can get packed; when the last-minute stragglers file in, you’ll often see them scanning the room for a strategic spot to roll out their mat. Be neighborly by making room for them, if it’s available.

In a less-packed class, it’s common courtesy to stagger your mats so that the person behind you has a clear view of the teacher and the mirror. And unless you’re practicing with your bestie or your sweetie, give your neighbor some breathing room.

Lastly, mind your steps: it’s polite to avoid walking on a fellow yogi’s mat.

7. Minimize conversation

Many studios are considered a space for reflection, self-study, and focus, and maintaining a quiet atmosphere (if not an altogether silent one) supports this frame of mind. Granted, here at HOA we are big on community and love a little chatter before and after class. But if the class is in session, please refrain from chitchat. It’s not only polite, but it’s beneficial to your own state of mind.

8. Can’t stay for savasana? Leave before.

We all get it. Time is short, your schedule is tight, and your day is packed with need-tos and to-dos. But many of your classmates live for savasana, and by packing up and shuffling out during the most meditative and restful stage of the entire class, you’re disrupting everyone else and denying yourself the benefits.

The traditional benefits of savasana claim to restore your nervous system to its default settings and offer your mind a chance to sink into meditation. But above all, it’s a rare chance for you to do nothing for a few minutes. Close your eyes, focus on your breath, and feel the weight of your body against the floor. It’s your own little R&R opportunity. Take it.

Absolutely, positively have to leave class early? Let your teacher know before class, position yourself close to the door, and be sure to leave before savasana begins. When it’s time to leave, pack up and scoot out as quietly as you can.

9. Clean up

Bolsters, blankets, blocks, straps—yoga is a prop-happy practice. If you’re borrowing the studio’s props, be sure to return them to their rightful place upon leaving. If you’re borrowing one of the studio’s mats, be sure to clean it before rolling it back up. Leaving your space as clean as you found it is respectful to the studio and students in later classes.

10. Children
Ages 12 and up are allowed to enjoy classes with their parents as long as they are signed up and able to stay on the mat, participate in class and not distract anyone. Ages 8-12 are only allowed in studio for classes that specifically state it. Toddlers/babies are welcome during classes that state they are specifically for that age range. If this becomes a distraction the instructor may ask you to leave.
