Our big, beautiful studio space can exist as one open room, holding as many as 55 yogis for class - or it can be separated to create two smaller studios. The larger of the two can hold 30 students, and the smaller, 20 students.

The studio has tall ceilings, calming colors inspired by nature and a ‘breath of fresh air,’ lush pathos plants, dimmable candlelight, and surround sound for classes with music.

We provide blocks, blankets, straps, and bolsters for use, and ask that students wipe down any props at the end of class.

We have 2 bathrooms and one separate changing room.

We do not have showers in the studio.

Our front lounge area, complete with a pink velvet sofa and chairs, is a beautiful space for relaxing before and after class, and gathering for studio events.

Our back lounge area offers daily tea and water, benches to mingle with fellow students, and cubbies to store your shoes and non-valuable belongings

While we recommend that you arrive early to the studio, we know that sometimes life happens. If you have pre-registered for class, and your name is ‘on the list,’ then you can arrive up to 5 minutes late for classes. If class is full however, you will not be able to attend class.

If you have not preregistered for class, and you arrive late, you will not be let into class. Exceptions are made only for Monthly Members (a hidden secret perk!). These policies are for the safety of our community.

We recommend you find parking well in advance of class, either right on Lakeshore Ave, or over in the Trader Joe’s parking lot (hint: it’s free over there!). Park early so you’re not late to class (see ‘can I arrive late to class?’)

We do NOT allow walk-ins. If it’s your first time to the studio, we kindly ask that you register before you come to the studio. This is to prevent theft and to provide for your safety in the studio.

After you’ve set up a profile on our website, you can sign yourself up for classes online, or you can drop in to the studio. Our front desk staff will be happy to help you!

If it’s your first first time at the studio, please bring your ID. This is for the safety of our community. Otherwise, we recommend that you bring the following:

• Yoga Mat

• Towel

• Water

• Open Mind

We recommend that you leave behind:

• Valuables

• Phone, Smart Watch

• Negative Energy

We offer the following discounts at the studio:

• School Teachers: 15% off all class packs and memberships

Please email us with a photo of your school ID to take advantage of these!

All of our auto-renew monthly memberships require a 3 month commitment when you first join. After that point, your membership continues to renew each month, and you now have the option to pause your membership for up to 30 days (you can do this twice a year), or cancel. If you’re unable to commit to the initial 3 month requirement, or you’d rather take it one month at a time, we recommend you choose the single month unlimited pass.

Single month and annual memberships cannot be paused, cancelled, or refunded.

For auto-renewing memberships, to put your membership on pause (and keep taking advantage of the price point you’re locked in at):

Email oakland@arise.yoga and let us know how long you’d like to pause your membership. We allow up to 2 pauses per year, for up to 30 days each time. Pausing allows you to travel, explore, take a break, move away and decide to move back - and maintain the rate you’re currently paying when you return.

Keep in mind that you will be charged a prorated amount for any remaining days left in your current billing cycle (on the front or back end of your pause, or sometimes both!). You don’t need to schedule your pause to align with your auto-renew date because of this.

If you ultimately need to cancel your membership (sad!), here’s what we ask:

Email oakland@arise.yoga at least 2 weeks before your next scheduled payment date. If you request to cancel after this time, we cannot guarantee that you won’t be charged for your next month of yoga (yes, our inbox really is that full!). We can always refund a payment that you didn’t intend to go through, but we won’t be able to prevent it ahead of time.

Once your membership has been cancelled, we’ll email you a confirmation. Know, of course, that you can always come back at any time, and that the price of a membership may have changed by that time.

Workshops are nonrefundable. They can be transferred to another student, however they cannot be transferred to another workshop or class type.

Arise Yoga Members are beloved! When you join as an auto-recurring monthly Member, you get these perks:

• up to 75% off the drop-in fee

• 15% off workshops

• 15% off all retail

• priority booking over 3rd party apps

• Member-only events to buid even more community and feel the love for being such an integral part of our community!

• Community partner discounts! Learn more here.

For all classes outside our Parents and Babies class, participants must be at least 13 years old to attend without a guardian. Younger yogis of 10-12 may attend with a parent or guardian, and anyone younger than that must obtain special permission to attend classes.

Parents and babies classes are for pre-crawling babies. Once your baby can move themselves about the room (congratulations!), they've graduated out of that class.

The one exception at all studios is the Owner's son, River. River (born November 2022) teaches alongside Jillian in her classes. No other teachers have little ones in class.

Please email us if you have any questions!
