Dress Code Policy

• Fabrics can burn or bruise exposed skin, so fitted pants or leggings and a long or short-sleeved shirt that covers armpits and middrifts are strongly recommended. Tank tops are not recommended.
• Clothing should NOT have zippers or velcro, as they can catch or snag.
• Jewelry, especially rings, should be removed before class.
• Hair should be tied back from face.
• Wear deodorant. The fabrics absorb smells easily.
• Socks are not recommended for silks; while practicing in socks is possible, they can make movement in the fabric challenging. Water bottle, yoga mat, and notebook are recommended.
