FAQs
-
What is the cancellation policy?
Should you cancel or no show a pre-registered class less than 2 hours before the start time, a $12 late cancellation fee will be applied. Our cancellation policy applies to all students, including Unlimited Members and 30-Day Specials.
If you booked using a single class credit or a class pack and cancel more than 2 hours before class, the credit will be returned to your account. If the cancellation is made within the 2-hour window, the credit will be forfeited in addition to the $12 fee.
For events and workshops, if you cancel within the 2-hour window, you will still be charged the $12 fee, but the event ticket value will be applied to your account for future use.
The doors will lock promptly at the start times of all classes, workshops, and events at Nirvana, and late entry is not an option. Please do not knock on the door, thank you for being considerate to your fellow community!
All purchases are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Do I need to pre-register for classes?
Pre-registration is recommended as we have limited studio space, however, walk-ins are welcome if class is not already full.
If no students are pre-registered for a class within 1 hour of the start time, we will cancel class.
For 6AM classes, if no students are pre-registered by 10PM the night before, class will be cancelled.

How do I cancel a pre-registration?
To cancel, go to our schedule page and log in, then click “my profile” at the top right. You can see the classes you are scheduled for with a “cancel” button next to them. You can do this on the Glofox app as well.

What should I bring to a yoga class?
Bring a mat, towel, and water bottle to class. We have a limited number of mats to rent for $3, and you are welcome to borrow our studio blocks, straps, bolsters, and blankets during class.
-
Am I allowed to bring my phone into the studio?
Make this an opportunity for you to disconnect! It is required that you leave your phone in the entry cubbies on silent and do not bring it into the studio space during class times. Your belongings are protected during class as the front door is always locked at the start.
-
Am I allowed to leave class early?
We ask that you refrain from leaving class early as it is extremely disruptive to your fellow students. Please be respectful and plan accordingly for classes that you are able to stay for the entire time.
-
Is Nirvana Yoga good for beginners?
Absolutely! We offer a variety of classes suitable for all levels, including beginners. Our teachers offer modifications and guidance to ensure everyone feels comfortable and supported.
Try Foundational Flow, Slow Flow, or Yin to start if you want something slower paced and beginner-friendly.
-
Are Nirvana classes heated?
Classes at Nirvana are unheated. We try to maintain a comfortable room temperature for all classes, but you may feel warm from body heat when classes are full – especially when you are mindfully moving with your Ujjayi breath!
-
Are Nirvana classes pregnancy-friendly?
Yes! Because they are unheated, our regular class styles are pregnancy-friendly as long as you are modifying if you ever feel uncomfortable, especially in more faster paced classes. Avoid deep twists and anything laying on your belly.
We also offer a monthly Prenatal Yoga class that can be found here.
Chelsea, Nirvana’s owner, actually opened the studio while pregnant and took Power Vinyasa classes up until the day before she had her baby!
-
Is there an age requirement for classes?
Although we do not have an age requirement for classes, we do ask that an adult accompany children younger than 16, and that children are respectful of our studio guidelines outlined in these FAQs/are not disruptive to other students in the class. Please use your best judgment!
You can also take a look at our workshops page for upcoming Little Yogi & Pre-Teen classes that are tailored toward specific age groups!
-
Can I try Nirvana Yoga before becoming a member?
Absolutely! Our 30-Day Special introductory offer gives you 30 days of unlimited yoga and pilates classes for just $40, so you can experience Nirvana Yoga before committing to a membership. With our regular single-class rate at $20, the intro offer pays for itself in just two classes. More importantly, it gives you time to try different classes, meet our teachers, get to know the community, and build a consistent practice, rather than trying one class and having to decide right away if Nirvana is for you.

-
How do I freeze or cancel my Unlimited Membership?
Because there are no long-term commitments for our Monthly Membership, we simply require a 1-week notice via email to hello@nirvanayogahouse.com.

Do I need to be flexible to do yoga?

What is the best yoga class for stress relief?
All of our yoga classes can help relieve stress, but Slow Flow + Yoga Nidra and Yin Yoga are especially well-suited for slowing down, calming your mind, and creating space to relax.
