Studio Policies

Late Cancellation/No-Show

We understand that occasionally things come up at the last minute, in which case you are welcome to give us a call or email us at info@theportlandyogaproject.com. We are happy to make exceptions, but please know that we will use our discretion if there becomes a pattern of last minute cancellations.

  • Our late cancellation window is 2 hours.

  • Members & Intro Special students who cancel within 2 hours of the start of class or no-show will be charged $5.

  • Class pass holders and drop-ins who cancel within 2 hours of the start of class or no-show will forfeit one class.

WAITLIST

  • If a class is waitlisted or becomes full, we will release spots of those who have not yet checked in 3 minutes prior to the start of class. People waitlisted take priority over walk-ins when filling released spots.

  • On the waitlist and haven’t made it off yet prior to the start of class? Come on in… we can likely get you into class!

CANCELING YOUR MEMBERSHIP

Please fill out our membership cancelation/pause request form. You can review the full member policies here.

PRE-REGISTER

We recommend pre-registering for classes to ensure your spot in class.

FREE MEMBER GUEST PASSES

Unlimited member receive TWO free guest passes every month. These passes must be used on new students of PYP only.

To use a guest pass, please fill out the member guest form at least 24 hours prior to bringing in your guest. We will do our best to accommodate requests that are sent less than 24 hours in advance, but we cannot guarantee a spot.

ARRIVE ON TIME

Your prompt arrival will ensure that we can maintain comfortable distance between students, and allow us to prioritize the security of the space and your belongings. To ensure the least amount of class disruption, we will allow late-comers to class up until 5 minutes after class begins, so as long as the class isn’t sold out.

HAVE TO LEAVE CLASS EARLY?

No problem! Just please let the teacher know before class begins and if possible set up close to the door to limit any disruption of the class. For yoga classes, please do leave before savasana begins. We understand sometimes we may need to leave class unexpectedly… please do your best to leave quietly.

PLEASE STAY HOME IF YOU ARE SICK

If you are exhibiting any symptoms (fever, coughing, sneezing etc), please stay home.
