Community Guidelines

At Mind Body Yoga & Wellness, we are committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and respectful space for all members of our community — both in our studio and online. These guidelines help us maintain an environment where everyone can practice, learn, and connect with ease.

1. Respect & Inclusion

• Treat every member, instructor, and guest with kindness and respect
• We welcome people of all backgrounds, abilities, body types, ages, and experience levels
• Discriminatory language, behavior, or attitudes of any kind will not be tolerated

2. Mindful Communication

• Communicate with compassion and patience — both in person and in online spaces
• Constructive feedback is welcome; harsh criticism, sarcasm, or personal attacks are not
• Listen actively and allow space for others to share their experiences

3. Class Etiquette

• Arrive a few minutes early to settle in and avoid disrupting ongoing sessions
• Keep phones on silent and avoid unnecessary distractions during class
• Inform your instructor of any injuries or limitations before class begins
• Clean and return borrowed equipment (mats, blocks, bolsters) after use

4. Online Community Conduct

• Keep your camera on where possible during online classes to support community connection
• Do not record or share live sessions without explicit written permission
• In community groups or forums, share only content that is supportive, informative, and relevant to wellness

5. Privacy & Boundaries

• Respect the personal stories and experiences shared by others in class discussions
• Do not share another member's personal information without their consent
• Recognize and honor each person's physical and emotional boundaries

6. Violations & Consequences

We reserve the right to address any behavior that violates these guidelines. This may include a private conversation, a formal warning, or, in serious cases, removal from our community spaces without refund.
