Frequently asked questions
Q: WHAT CAN I EXPECT IN MY FIRST CLASS AT ALMA YOGA?
A: Prepare yourself for a small challenge—climbing five flights of stairs! But don’t worry, this moment is an opportunity to slow down, bring your awareness inward, and leave behind the rush of NYC. Once you reach the top and step into our intimate space, expect to feel welcomed, supported, and inspired. We’re here to guide you in a place where there’s no competition, only connection—with yourself.
Q: IS THE STUDIO HEATED?
A: No, our studio is not heated. We focus on creating a comfortable, serene environment where you can connect with your practice and yourself without the added intensity of heat.
Q: WHAT MAKES ALMA YOGA UNIQUE?
A: Alma Yoga isn’t just a studio—it’s a home for your body, mind, and soul. In our intimate space, yoga blends with holistic practices and mindfulness. Here, we go beyond the mat as an invitation to reconnect with your soul.
Q: HOW DO I BOOK A CLASS?
A : Booking is simple! You can book a class through our website or MINDBODY APP. Once you complete your purchase, you’ll be prompted to create a profile on Mindbody for Alma Yoga to ensure a seamless booking experience. You’re also welcome to pay and book directly at the studio before class.
Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF I CAN`T MAKE IT TO A CLASS THAT I BOOKED?
A: To keep things flowing smoothly for everyone, here’s our cancellation and no-show policy:
Late Cancellation – $15 Fee: If you need to cancel, please do so at least 8 hours before class to avoid a fee. Cancellations made within 8 hours of class will have a $15 late cancellation fee.
No-Show – $20 Fee: If you miss a class without canceling, a $20 no-show fee will apply.
For Unlimited Package Holders: Life happens! That’s why your first late cancellation or no-show will be waived. After that, the corresponding fee will be charged.
For Single-Class & Limited Package Holders: The cancellation/no-show fee will apply, but your class won’t be lost—you’ll still be able to use it later.
Q: WHAT I SHOULD BRING TO CLASS?
A: Just yourself and comfortable clothing. We have yoga mats and towels available for rental at $4, but you’re always welcome to bring your own. Depending on the class, you may be asked to bring a journal for reflection at the end of class.
Q: WHATS YOUR POLICY ON ARRIVING ON TIME?
A: We kindly ask that you arrive at least 5 to 10 minutes before class starts. This gives you time to settle in, set up your space, and prepare your mind and body for the practice. We also kindly ask that you arrive right on time, as we are an intimate studio means arriving too early may disturb a class happening beforehand.
We have a 5-minute grace period after the class begins, and please note that after that, our door will be closed.
Q: DO I NEED TO SIGN A WAIVER BEFORE ATTENDING A CLASS?
A: Yes, we ask all students to sign a waiver before their first class. To make the process smooth and quick, we recommend signing the waiver in advance when you book your first class online. Alternatively, you can sign it in person at the studio before attending, but arriving a little earlier will help ensure a seamless start to your practice.
