Please review the Ashtanga Yoga Center Etiquette Requests prior to attending your first class:
Please bathe before class. Clean sweat does not have a pungent odor.
Please make sure to use only unscented soap and lotion. Even mildly scented products can be offensive to other practitioners, so please be mindful to choose unscented.
Please use a natural, unscented deodorant before class. Antiperspirant is not necessary, as sweat is a natural product of the practice, but deodorant is.
Please make sure to wash and dry yoga clothes in between uses. Bacteria can linger when clothes are line dried or washed in cold water.
Please make sure to clean yoga mats regularly. Storing mats unrolled, or leaving them out in the sun are also good ways to eliminate bacteria and reduce smells.
