Frequently Asked Questions
New to the Treehouse Community? Here are answers to some frequently asked questions.
I have zero yoga experience and I am not flexible at all. Which classes should I join?
All of our classes are beginner-friendly and flexibility is not a requirement! However, if you really have zero yoga practice, we recommend you join the Yin Yang Flow, Slow Flow, or Hatha-Vinyasa classes. These are the best ones for complete beginners. You may check out the schedules by clicking BOOK YOUR CLASS on the header anywhere on this website. All you really have to do is bring a little courage with you to class.
Do I need to make a reservation?
Since there are only limited slots available, we require all our students to book ahead of time and prepay for their slot. All reservations are non-refundable but transferrable, and you may make changes up to 30 minutes prior to class.
If it is your first time, we encourage you to arrive at the studio 15 minutes before class starts. This will allow you enough time to find our studio, park your car, meet the teacher, fill out the attendance sheet, and to get acquainted with the studio facilities and equipment.
What should I wear? What should I bring?
Wear light, stretchy (but not too loose) clothing in which you can move easily—but can provide the cover appropriate for you when moving through postures. This is so you won't have to worry about fixing your clothing during class.
For women, you may wear leggings or tight-fitting shorts and a t-shirt/tank top with light cloth, while the men can wear basketball shorts, cycling shorts, and a t-shirt or tank top.
We encourage everyone to bring your own mat, towel, water bottle, and other props you think you may need. We have yoga mats, blocks, and pillows available at the studio, and while we constantly sanitize these, but please use at your own risk.
For evening Meditation/Recentering Practice classes, we may or may not turn on the airconditioner and we don't sweat much as this is mostly stretching and staying low on your mat. You may bring blankets and pillows and you may come in warmer clothes.
How do I prepare for a class?
Our classes are 75 minutes long. Here are some pointers to prepare for class:
Do you have parking space?
Our building has 5 parking spaces on a first-come-first-serve basis. Parking can be tricky on some days and it is never guaranteed, so if you are from the area, we suggest taking a bike or other means of transportation so we can free up the parking slots for those who are not from BF Homes. In case you are bringing a car with you, please be mindful with your parking so others may use the slots beside you.
What are the studio policies and studio etiquette?
We aim to provide a safe space for everyone in the community, and we would appreciate if you abide by the following policies and studio etiquette:
Are we allowed to take photos and videos or use our mobile phones in class?
We have a strict NO PHONES ON THE FLOOR policy at the studio. You are allowed to take photos and videos AFTER class, but NOT during the class proper. While we respect that we all have different intentions for practicing, let us also be mindful and consider the privacy and intentions of other students.
Most teachers will also invite you to take a class photo. You may or may not join this post-class activity.
I have am pregnant, have some physical limitations, an ailment, or an injury. Can I still attend your regular classes?
While we believe that yoga is for everyone regardless of the circumstance, we recommend consulting your doctor first regarding your condition. In special cases, we do have Yoga Therapists and Prenatal Yoga Teachers in our roster of teachers and we can schedule a free assessment for you. Kindly get in touch with us with all the details pertaining to your case.
