HONEY YOGA FAQ
I've never done yoga before, which class is for me?
We would highly recommend our Beginners’ Yoga Series.
Also, almost all of our classes are open to all levels. You might take it a little slower for the first couple classes and look around a bit at other practitioners but you'll get the hang of it. Know who the best surfer in the ocean is? The one having the most fun. Do what you can and know that we all start somewhere. Seriously.
Also, no-one cares what you look like on the mat. We’re all just doing our best.
What kind of yoga do you do at Honey?
Mostly we specialize in two kinds: vinyasa yoga (called “Honey Flow” here) which is a fast-paced, strength-and-sweat-focused class and our “Honey Restore” class style which is a very slow, quiet class where nearly all of the postures are seated or lying down. We have a few classes that are slight variations or blends of the two. Plus we offer prenatal (ongoing), baby-and-me (ongoing), and beginners (a few times a year) series’. All of our classes are able to be modified for beginners.
Whatever the class type, every single thing is optional and there’s never any pressure to compete or compare. You will often find well-practiced Honeys in class just to hang out in Child’s Pose the entire time. We are very proud of that.
You can find out about each of these on our schedule. Just click the class name and it will give you a little description.
What about parking?
We’ve got a whole page on our parking situation here.
Do you do heated yoga at Honey?
No, our studio is not heated. We practice with the seasons :)
Which classes can I chill out in?
You can chill out whenever you want! But Honey Restore is always a safe bet.
Do I need to bring a mat?
We definitely encourage practitioners to invest in their own mat. If you have one, bring it. If not, we have a few spares that we don’t mind you using until you can get your hands on your own. We also have mats for sale here.
What's your cancelation policy?
If you signed up for a class and can’t make it, please cancel at least 3 hours before class, or a $10 late fee will be charged to your card on file. To avoid this, we either recommend making sure you can make it before signing up, or use the policy to encourage yourself to commit to the classes you’ve signed up for!
How do I cancel a class I’m signed up for?
We ask that you cancel classes yourself and here’s how to do it:
If using the app: log in, go to “bookings” on the bottom menu. Find the class you’d like to cancel, click on it, and press the “cancel” button on the bottom right-hand side
If using our website: log in, click your profile icon on the top right, and click on “YOUR SCHEDULE”. Your booked classes will be listed there and you can choose “cancel” on the bottom right.
What if I want to cancel my membership?
It happens and we totally get it. Per your membership agreement, you must give us 3 days notice before you’re billed in order to cancel. Please do so here.
Do you offer prenatal classes?
Yes. We offer an ongoing 6-week prenatal series. More info here.
Do you offer private instruction?
Yes, we are happy to coordinate a private lesson for you with one of our highly trained teachers.
I've never been in a yoga studio before, what can I expect?
Come on an empty belly (this doesn’t mean super hungry. Rough guideline is nothing heavy within a couple of hours of practice). Arrive about 10-15 minutes early so we can greet you and show you around! Wear comfy clothes that will allow you to move without adjusting them a whole bunch. Limit your fragrances for the day. No shoes in the practice room (we’ll show you where to take them off!). Cell phone off and in your bag–no phones on the mat. Just let the front desk know when you get here that you’re new and they’ll be thrilled to show you the ropes.
Are you wheelchair accessible?
Yes. Wheelchair access is through the main door on the corner of El Cajon and Winona.
Contact us at info@honeysandiego.com to let us know you’re coming and we’ll do everything we can to make sure you get the best possible experience.
