General Rules

The courses are designed to smoothly integrate you into the practice and the introductory part is very important. If you come in late, on the one hand, you miss a valuable part of the lesson, on the other hand, you disturb and distract the rest of the students and the teachers.
- If you are coming to the Studio for the 1st time make sure you locate the location and time your journey correctly to avoid delays.
- If it is necessary to leave before the end of the class, leave before Savasana without delay and quietly so that the others can continue their practice smoothly.
- Upon entry, remove shoes, jewelry, belts, and other sharp objects. Shoes are placed inside the shoe rack and not in front of it.

- Smoking is strictly prohibited in all areas of the Studio.

The Studio is not responsible for any injuries.
- You are obliged to follow the instructions of the staff not only in terms of training, but also in general in terms of the smooth operation of the Studio.

Avoid strong perfumes and deodorants because these too may create breathing problems for you and the other practitioners. Be aware of the smell of cigarettes in your clothes and hair. Finally, be careful with moisturizing creams and lotions because they create slipperiness on the mattress and on your body, making the practice dangerous.
