Online Classes:

We require 4 students to hold an online class.

WAIT-LISTING FOR FULL CLASSES
Wait-listing allows students to wait for a class opening when a class is full in the event another student cancels. It’s highly recommended that you have notification enabled in Mind-Body to receive waitlist notifications via email. Such messages are not sent by text.

Wait-listing to a full class is first-come-first-serve. If you plan NOT to attend after wait-listing or after gaining a spot, please remove yourself from the waitlist or cancel the reservation as soon as possible as a courtesy to other students who may also be waiting for a spot opening. Other students would greatly appreciate it, and you will as well. If you have added yourself into a waitlist for a class which is full, and gain a spot when another student cancels, we may consider this a standard reservation and all reservation no-show or late-cancellation policies may apply. Its best to confirm or decline your class reservation after you have been moved from the waitlist to the class.

Help/FAQs

I am new to yoga. How do I choose the right class?
We recommend if you are new to Yoga to call us. We will help you find your best classes.

Yoga 101 Workshop is the best place to begin. These are 75 to 90-minute classes and have extra instruction within slow-paced sequences. Another class to explore is “Simple Stretch”. This class is derived from yoga postures(asanas) and can be for those who are unfamiliar with yoga.

We also offer free classes from time to time so signing up to our newsletter will keep you posted.

How long are classes?
Classes range from one hour to one hour and thirty minutes. Please refer to our class schedule for details regarding the length of classes.

What should I wear?
We suggest comfortable clothing that will allow the body to stretch easily, such as a leotard, sweatpants and a shirt, or shorts and a T-shirt.

I’m not flexible. I haven’t exercised in years. Will I be okay? Are the classes hard?
It is not necessary to be flexible to practice Yoga. If you have not been physically active we suggest you start with a Yoga 101 class or register to our beginner workshops (coming soon). Our teachers are happy to suggest what class might be specifically appropriate for you if you ask them to observe your practice while taking a class. Owl’s Head Yoga encourages students to work within their capacity and to use the benefits of the physical practice to support not only the health of the body but of the mind and spirit.

Can I use my cell phone when I am at Owl’s Head Yoga?
Please turn off all beepers and cell phones. This will enable other students to have a more peaceful experience.

Do I need to make a reservation for class?
Yes. Reserve your space with our Online Scheduler or MindBody Mobile App.

Can I wait-list for a class if a spot is not available in the event another student cancels?
Yes, various classes have a set number of students who can wait for a spot opening in the event another student cancels. If you opt-in to be placed on the wait-list, and a fellow student cancels, you will be notified via email or text message that you were moved from the wait-list and now have reserved the class (You should have notification enabled within Mind-Body).  Wait-list students are first-come-first-serve. If you plan NOT to attend after wait-listing, please remove yourself from the waitlist or reservation as a courtesy to other students wanting a spot. Please also ready our policy on wait-lists above.
