Come as you are

OUR STUDIO ENVIRONMENT

This is a space where you’re invited to show up fully - no masks, no pressure. Just you, as you are.  We honor your inner teacher. Whether you’re finding your edge or resting when you need, we encourage self-trust and curiosity.

Creating a space that feels safe, grounding, and supportive for everyone is at the heart of what we do. These shared agreements help us protect the energy of the studio, the integrity of our classes, and the experience you come here for.

Principles for Practice

Creating a space that feels safe, grounding, and supportive for everyone is at the heart of what we do. These shared agreements help us protect the energy of the studio, the integrity of our classes, and the experience you come here for.

Community Is Our Core

North Ray Yoga is a space where everyone should feel safe, welcome, and respected. We do not tolerate discrimination of any kind, based on size, race, gender, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, ability, or any other aspect of identity. Ever.

Start on Time, End on Time

If you're late for class, you're still awesome, but we don't allow late entry to any of our classes. Please arrive early and give yourself time to check in, settle, and breathe. Being on time helps us protect the flow of class and the focus of the group. We start together and we end together.

Let the Hot Room Be Your Quiet Place

When you're in our studios, our hope is that you can take a break from the noise - both internal and external. Please keep the hot room completely silent. That means no whispering, no chatting, and no tech distractions.

Clutter-Free = Stress-Free

The hot room is for your practice essentials only: mat, towel, and water. Please leave phones (and all tech), bags, clothes, and other belongings in the lockers. A clear space helps create a calm space for you and everyone else around you.

Need to Cancel?

We know life happens but holding your spot means someone else might not get one. Please cancel at least 2 hours before class to avoid penalties or losing your credit. Cancellations must be made online or via the app.

FAQS

    For our Echo Park location, we have complimentary valet on-site (on Aaron Street) Parking is limited and not guaranteed, so give yourself extra time to find street parking if needed and be mindful of our neighbors on Aaron Street as we are in a residential neighborhood.

  • All of our classes are taught in a heated room. We use radiant heat panels, which warm people and surfaces directly (kind of like sunshine, but indoors).  It's hot, but designed to support safe, deep movement and sweaty challenging classes. Our temperature ranges from 98–100°F.

  • Come in clothing you can comfortably move and sweat in that is group class friendly and bring a yoga mat, a towel (to practice/sweat on) and a water bottle (being hydrated is key and we have filtered water stations to help you stay that way)!

  • We’ve got you covered with pronoun-based change rooms, keyless lockers to store your stuff and showers stocked with soap, shampoo & conditioner. Please note that we don’t allow personal belongings in the hot room - just your mat, towel, and water - so lock up valuables or leave them at home.
