CLASS ETIQUETTE & WAITLIST

​

Please allow the students from the last class to clear out before you enter the classroom. Check in with our volunteers and allow yourself time to get settled. Some classes will be very full with very little space between mats, so be prepared to shuffle around and make space.

All sessions have a limited capacity. If you are on a waitlist for a class or are attending on a space-available basis, you will be allowed admission 5 minutes prior to the session beginning if there is room. 

 

PACKING ESSENTIALS

​

For your convenience and comfort, please bring your yoga mat, water bottle, comfortable clothing, and any props you need for your practice (straps, blocks, bolsters). Other essential items ~ good walking shoes, a journal, sunscreen, a hat, snacks, light jacket or wrap, a joyful spirit, and an open heart!

 

ASHEVILLE WEATHER

​

We are blessed to live in a temperate rainforest that is both beautiful and unpredictable at times. While all of our venues are indoors for your comfort, be prepared for all the weather ~ heat, rain, perfectly pleasant ~ as you move between venues. An umbrella and cooling mist fan are great to have ~ we like the boy scout motto ~ be prepared!

 

GETTING AROUND 

 

The festival is pedestrian friendly! We have done our best to create the smallest footprint possible, as well as allow ample time between classes for easy transitions. Depending on your schedule, you will have anywhere from 30-90 minutes between sessions. Please familiarize yourself with the festival map for the location of the venues. If you have any questions about moving between venues, please let us know. Note ~ locations are subject to change ~ stay up-to-date on your SCHED app.
