New to Samatva

Place Holder
I'm new to Samatva. How do I start?

Welcome to your yoga journey! To join your first class:

    • Find your preferred location.
    • Book your class. The best class type for those new to yoga are the “Well-Rounded + Slow + Stretchy” class styles.
    • You’ll be prompted to create an account in MindBody – our studio software!
    • Purchase your pack/membership. Our Trial Membership for $29 is the perfect pass for newbies.
    • Review our Safety & Etiquette policies to make sure you bring everything you need.
    • Make sure you arrive 10-15 minutes prior to class.
    • Want more tips for newbies? Check out our “New Guests” page.
    • If you have questions, Contact Us here or give us a call at the studio.

We teach all of our classes to all levels; if you can get up and down from the floor unassisted then our group classes are accessible to you. So if the only time that works for you is noon on Tuesday, then go to that class, and know that everyone feels awkward at first.

Also know this: no one is watching you (besides the teacher so he/she can help and assist you); each practitioner is dealing with their own challenges on their own mat.

All of that said, there are some classes that tend to be less intimidating at first. These are: Peace, Yin, Yin + Refresh, Restore and Wake Up classes. Just get to the studio and let us handle it from there! But even better, join our Beginner Foundations 4-Week Series.

I don't want to come to the studio. How can I start from home?

 We have two ways for you to flow from home, depending on how you like to practice. Check out our Virtual Studio section below for more information on the two ways you can practice with us from home.

 

Are you a hot yoga studio?

We do BOTH. We are an interdisciplinary studio that believes there are many paths to the same destination.  It’s great to learn the benefits of all ways.

What should I wear + bring?

ATTIRE: Pretty much whatever you would wear to work out in, or maybe sleep in (ever notice how much yoga clothes look like jammies?).

Here are a few hints: we hang upside down a bunch, so loose fitting t-shirts can lead to wardrobe malfunctions. Walmart tights are not as opaque as you might think. In hot classes, wet cotton can get heavy/bind, so we ask that you take this into consideration and look for moisture-wicking fabrics.

WHAT TO BRING:

    • Mat, towel, water.

You will require a mat for all classes. We also recommend you bring a mat towel and/or bath towel for any heated classes, or if you just find you get extra sweaty during your practice. If you don’t have your own, or forget them, mats & towels are available to rent from the studio for a fee. We recommend you bring a water bottle. We have fresh filtered water fountains for you to fill your own water bottle with. We do not sell single-use plastic.

Do I need to pre-register for classes?

Pre-registration (aka booking your spot) is required for all in person bookings and for special classes and workshops.

health + safety

Place Holder
Do I have to wear a mask?

Public health guidelines no longer require that masks be worn in public indoor settings regardless of vaccination status. Please make sure you read our detailed Safety and Etiquette guidelines before you visit the studio.

Am I required to show proof of vaccination?

EFFECTIVE MARCH 1ST With Provincial regulation changes, we will no longer be requiring proof of vaccination for practice.  We kindly ask that you continue to self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms and complete the screening when arriving for practice.  We will continue to require all visits to be pre-registered at this time.  Sorry, no walk-in attendance.

How often is the studio cleaned?

Classroom floors and high touch areas, like switches and handles, will be after each class and/or end of day. Changerooms and other common areas of the studio are tended to several times a day.

General questions

Place Holder
My shoulder, knee, back, ego is killing me. Can yoga help?

Heck yeah!! But here’s the deal, depending on your injury you might want to begin with a private lesson. We are happy to meet with you one-on-one to help modify the practice for you. Then, you can return to regular group classes with an understanding of how modifying the postures can help you heal.


BOOK A PRIVATE SESSION

If I arrive late, can I still attend class?

We understand that sometimes things happen that are out of your control, but out of respect for everyone in the studio, we do not allow latecomers as this would disrupt our students and teachers. The studio doors are locked between classes to allow our team to focus on cleaning, so if you arrive late, the entry door may be locked. Please arrive 10 minutes early in order to ensure you can attend. We are firm about this policy.

Do you offer yoga for all stages of life? Prenatal, Baby, Kids + Teens?

Yes we do! Yoga is for all stages of life including: Pre-Natal, Baby + Me, Kids Yoga + Teens Yoga. Learn more about these classes, when they are scheduled + how to attend!

What are Samatva $REWARDS? Do I have any?

Where should I park?

DOWNTOWN | There is free street parking within the few blocks off Division + Princess streets. Nearby there are pay meters (no charge after 6pm!), please do not use the Metro parking lot or Princess Towers lot as you risk towing. 


WEST END | We are blessed with our own parking lot here!  No searching necessary.

I bought another pass, but the system says I only have one left?

Our MindBody Online software is real smart, but it cannot add. So for instance if you have an existing 10-class pass with 2 remaining punches, and then you get all excited about continuing your practice so you stock up and buy another 10-class pass, yes you do indeed have 12 classes total. But! The system can’t add so it uses up pass #1 first and then it starts pass #2. You can always go online and check out your account to be sure a purchase went though. Log in> My Info>> Purchase History >>>Voila!

Do you offer group rates or discounts for 1st Responders?

The Samatva Yoga Corporate + First Responders Wellness Plan offers both in-studio membership discounts and on-site yoga classes for Kingston area companies. We offer up to 70% discounted rates for on-site classes at all our studio locations and/or we can customize a class to best fit the needs of your company and employees and bring the class to you.

How does the waitlist work?

We have spots in each class for you to request to be the next person added. This is referred to as our waitlist. If a student removes an in-studio booking, waitlisted students will be placed in class FIRST – and in order!

 

You can be moved off the waitlist and placed in class up to 30 minutes prior to class start. Once in class, the Late Cancellation + No Show policy goes into effect.

We are unable to make exceptions and/or reservation changes via phone or email requests.

I have a Class Pack. If I miss my reserved class, can I get my class back?

No. When a guest misses their reserved class, it means another guest cannot attend in their place.

Please cancel at least 2 hours before class starts for in-studio classes or at least 30 minutes prior to for Live Studio Feed classes (virtual) to avoid losing a class.

Can I reserve more than 1 class per day?

Yes, you can! Make sure that you only reserve for classes that you plan to attend, and keep in mind that you need to cancel with at least 2 hours of notice to avoid being charged a late cancel / no-show fee.

We also invite you to visit us for Live Streaming + On Demand classes as part of your unlimited membership.

If the “book mat” option is not available for a class, does that mean it's full?

It likely means you’ve missed the booking window for the class. If the class is full, you’ll have the option to join the waitlist. but yes, our waitlist may also be full.
