For your first class, we recommend bringing:

• Comfortable, form-fitting workout clothes that allow movement

• A water bottle to stay hydrated

• A towel if you tend to sweat

• Deodorant to help prevent body odor and keep body fresh

Please bring your own mat however we do provide studio yoga mat on a first-come, first-served basis, we also provide all the necessary props for your practice. Just arrive a bit early to get settled and feel comfortable.

At Moonshine Yoga Studio, our no late entry policy is in place to ensure the safety, focus, and overall experience of all participants. Arriving on time helps:

• Keep the class flow smooth and undisturbed for everyone

• Prevent accidents, especially in aerial yoga where timing and setup are critical

• Respect the instructor’s teaching plan and other students’ practice space

• Allow you to properly center yourself and settle into the class mindset

We like to say: “Show up late, practice more.” If you do arrive late, we kindly ask you to join the next class. This way, you can fully enjoy your practice without disruption and keep everyone safe.

We recommend you begin with a gentle practice like Gentle Vinyasa, Moonlight Yin, Restorative, Hatha & Yin until you have built up the strength and flexibility for more challenging classes. Once you are familiar with the basic postures, you can explore a vinyasa flow class. It is always best to error on the side of caution and safety and approach yoga slowly and carefully. The best way to know if yoga is for you is to give it a try!

Absolutely not! Yoga is a personal practice, and our instructors are here to support and guide you at every step. We offer modification options for every pose, allowing you to practice at your own pace. You’ll be amazed at how much progress you’ll make over time. Remember to listen to your body and be patient with yourself.

For toning muscles and building strength as a beginner, consider these options:

• Yoga Sculpt — combines traditional yoga poses with strength training using light weights and cardio for a full-body workout.

• Barre — focuses on small, controlled movements to tone muscles, improve posture, and increase endurance.

• Mat Pilates — strengthens your core and overall body with controlled movements that improve stability and flexibility.

All these classes are beginner-friendly and great for building strength. Feel free to try each and see which you enjoy most!

No prior yoga experience is necessary! We offer different class styles to cater to your body and fitness level. If you already practice mat yoga or have a regular workout routine, you’ll likely find it easy to transition to aerial yoga. If you’re new to yoga or aerial movement, we recommend starting with our Aerial Fundamental class to build a strong foundation.

Pregnancy requires special consideration. Please consult your doctor and let your instructor know before class. Some poses may not be safe during pregnancy.

We do not have a late cancellation or no-show penalty for all the regular mat classes. However, for aerial classes, please make sure to cancel at least 6 hours before the class starts.

If you no-show or cancel within 6 hours of the aerial class start time, a $25 fee will be charged. This policy helps us manage limited aerial class spots and ensure fairness to all participants.

If you need to leave class early, please let the instructor know ahead of time. You can set up your yoga mat in a spot closest to the door to minimize disruptions when leaving. It’s best to leave before the final relaxation pose (Savasana) starts.

It is always appropriate to inform your instructor about any existing physical conditions or concerns you have. Our instructors are trained to provide modifications and ensure your safety. If you have any serious concerns, we recommend consulting with your doctor before attending any yoga class.

We offer both heated and non-heated classes to cater to different preferences. Our heated classes like Power Flow, Ashtanga are maintained at 85-90°F.

Non-heated classes are kept at room temperature or adjusted to a comfortable level based on external conditions.

Little Yogis (age 13 above) are welcome to practice with a parent or guardian, as long as they have filled out a waiver and adhere to yogi manners. Please note that we do not offer childcare services, and children must be supervised by an adult during the class.

We don’t have showers, please arrive with your body and clothes clean. We sometimes get comfy with our other yogis, so cleanliness and non odors are a must! Please arrive early or stay later to use our bathroom facilitates.
