Getting Here
How can I reach you?
E-mail info@carrboroyoga.com or text/leave a voice mail at 919-525-1008.
How should I register?
We require that you sign up in advance online. Registration closes one hour before class start time.
What Is the Cancellation Window?
Because mat space is limited, we allow early cancellations (in which your class credit reverts to your account) up to four hours before class start time. Within four hours, your account will be charged for the class.
When should I arrive?
Our doors open 10 minutes before each class starts. We close and lock the main door when class begins, so please budget a few minutes to arrive early. To protect the integrity of classes in session, we do not accommodate late arrivals.
Where should I park? Rack my bike?
You can park anywhere in the South Green development. If the lot in front of our building is full, park behind the orthodontist’s office, to the right of the driveway as you enter. The covered bike corral is near our space, in front of Craftboro Brewing Depot.
Making Changes
I’m on the wait list. What happens now?
The system will email and/or text you if and when a slot opens up. The message will have a link to click to accept the spot. If you don’t take it, it will roll down to the next person in 4 hours. To check whether you’ll get a text, email, or both, visit your Wellness Living profile and check your settings under Notifications. Your class credit will revert to your account if you do not accept your slot.
Can I “fly standby” and show up for class to sweet talk my way in?
Please do not. We don’t accommodate walk-in students. It puts the teacher in a tough spot to have to turn you away. If a wait list spot opens up, we will email you and ask you to confirm that you can make it.
If I sign up online and can’t make it, what should I do?
Click Manage Schedule at the top and bottom of any page. You can cancel from there up till four hours in advance. If it’s after that time, we appreciate you canceling anyway, since it lets us admit a student off the wait list.
I’d like to upgrade, downgrade, or cancel my membership. What should I do?
Please e-mail us at info@carrboroyoga.com so we have a written record of your request, and we’ll be happy to take care of you!
I am moving—can I get a refund on my remaining passes?
As per your receipt, class passes are nonrefundable. However, they are transferable, so if you would like to give (or sell) them to a friend, write us with your friend’s name.
General Etiquette Questions
I’m new to yoga. Where should I start?
Great! We have a new-student intro offer that gives you a guided tour through our studio so you can find the right yoga for you over 21 days for only $75. Buy it here!
What should I bring?
Please bring your own mat. If you have props you like to use, bring those, too.
What should I wear?
Something comfortable that lets you move around freely and that doesn’t bunch up around your face if you expect to get upside down. We have bathrooms for changing if you’re coming right from work.
Should I eat before class?
Not too much!
Is your studio hot?
No. We offer room-temperature yoga (ca. 72–74 degrees). In classes where it’s appropriate, we guide you to build internal heat. In Sanskrit, we call this internal heat tapas—it’s different from the Spanish meaning!
Can I bring my kids?
Students 13 and up are welcome in our adult classes.
For liability reasons, we can’t allow children to wait in the studio or in the lobby while classes run.
For Teachers
I’m a teacher. Are you hiring?
When we hire, we like to choose from among the folks who have been practicing at the studio regularly, as they understand the studio culture and student needs. Please come get to know us! Read more about our hiring process and find a huge hint about what to do here.
I’m in yoga teacher training. Can I observe a class?
We find that a nonparticipating student changes the class dynamic, so we do not allow class observations. If you’d like to see how our wonderful staff teach, you can find dozens of classes with them to stream at Yoga Vibes.
