We’ve gathered some of the most commonly asked questions to help you learn about practicing at UPY. If your question isn’t answered below, please Contact Us. Thank you!

Groupons are for NEW Clients Only and are ONE per customer.

We also offer AWESOME deals in the studio for New Clients! Check out our New Client Pricing.

If you are brand new to the studio, and you have a Groupon, bring the groupon voucher (on your phone or printed) with you 15 minutes before your first class and we will set it up for you. After your first class, you will be able to pre-register for classes online.

We highly recommend that you pre-register if you know you are definitely coming to a class—it facilitates a faster check in! If you do not pre-register, please arrive 15 minutes before class so we have time to check you in. Drop ins are always welcome.

When you arrive, we will welcome you and help answer your questions. During your yoga practice, we will help you to feel challenged and focused. When you leave, we hope that you feel balanced, strong and relaxed.

Please try to arrive 15 minutes before class. We lock the doors 5 minutes after class starts to ensure all our students receive our full attention, and have a great practice. If you are less than 5 minutes late, it is ok to quietly come in and join the class, but please remember to check in with the front desk immediately following class. Arriving late is something that ought to occur infrequently.

The more you practice, the more you benefit, both physically and mentally. Coming to three classes per week is a reasonable commitment and one that will definitely allow you to see and feel changes as your body gets stronger and more flexible, and your mind starts to learn how to relax. If you have time for a daily practice, that’s ideal! That said, even once a week or once a month will have positive benefits, albeit smaller and slower. Life is busy. Just do your best and come when you can.

We recommend you wear comfortable, breathable clothes. Bring a yoga mat, a towel, and water. You can rent a mat ($2) and towel ($2), and bottled water ($1).

We recommend that you drink water throughout the day before, during and after class to stay hydrated. In addition to regular water, we recommend coconut water and water containing fruit or electrolytes. We do suggest that you eat lightly about 1-2 hours before class. After class, drink a lot of water and eat a healthy meal

For beginners (unheated) and warm classes, our age minimum is 13 years of age. For hot classes, our minimum age is 16 years of age. Ages 13 – 15 must have a parent / guardian also participating with them in each class. All minors (under 18) must have a waiver signed by their parent/guardian, in person at the studio prior to participating in their first class.

Our typical Kids Yoga Classes are taught by a Kids Yoga teacher. The kids’ class is held in the small studio while adults practice in the big studio. The classes run concurrently so you can practice at the same time as your kids! Every few months, we also offer Family Yoga, which is a fun way to practice with your kids! Check out our Baby, Kids and Pre-Teens page for more info.

Talk to your doctor first—especially if you are new to Yoga! Check out our Prenatal Yoga class schedule.

No, no and no. We don’t have mirrors because we want to encourage a non-competitive environment. UPY floors are foam tiles that are 100% allergen free and contain no latex or other hazardous chemicals. (We love these floors—they’re so easy to clean!) We work hard to make sure the energy of the studio is friendly and welcoming for the entire community. Everyone belongs.
