Our Value Around Timeliness: Why We Start Class Promptly
We understand that life gets busy. Sometimes, arriving exactly on time feels like a challenge. I, Aly…studio owner!, have been that person crying outside of a locked studio door because I was one minute late and really needed yoga. That’s why we want you to know—when we start class on time and don’t allow late entry, it’s never to exclude anyone. Instead, we do it with YOU at heart. 🧡
In yoga philosophy, dharma refers to the guiding principles that shape our actions and commitments. While being on time is not a dharma itself, it aligns with several dharmic values that cultivate a meaningful and respectful practice. Here’s why timeliness matters in our studio:
🕉️ Respect for Others and Yourself
Arriving on time is a way of honoring your fellow practitioners, instructors, and yourself. Each person in class has set aside time for their practice, and beginning together ensures everyone can fully immerse themselves without disruption.
🔥 Discipline and Commitment (Tapas)
In yoga, Tapas refers to self-discipline and perseverance. Adhering to a schedule, even when it’s inconvenient, builds resilience and commitment to practice. By starting class on time, we uphold a structured and focused environment that supports growth.
🌊 Flow and Continuity
Our classes are designed with intentional sequences, moving seamlessly from one posture to the next. A punctual start ensures a peaceful, uninterrupted , and meditative opening to class—maximizing the benefits of your practice.
🧘 Mindfulness and Presence
Yoga is more than physical movement; it’s about arriving fully in the moment. When you come early, you allow yourself time to settle in, shift from the outside world, and prepare for practice with intention. This mindful transition enhances your experience on the mat.
At Summit Sol, we deeply appreciate your understanding and commitment to this shared practice. By honoring timeliness, we create a space of respect, discipline, and presence—together.
