Glow Etiquette

We reserve the right to refuse the services to anyone who does not align with our 5 Values:

1.   Ahimsa: being respectful of our business policies, our members, and our staff

2.   Asteya: never stealing others' peace by arriving 5 minutes before class, and by not bringing the Phones inside classroom

3.   Saucha: cleanliness. I leave no spots or trash behind. I never bring single-use plastic bottles. And take shoes off, including inside bathrooms

4.   Santosha: peaceful presence. Use a quiet, zen voice in the reception. Your Phone on Silence & Away from sight

5.   Svadyaya: self-study and growth mindset. Openness to learn new ways of being, behaving, and caring for yourself and others

What if I'm Expecting a Baby, Have Chronic Pain, or Often Feel Tired?

• No matter what season you are going through - Glow is a perfect place to start feeling better. Our immune system is most optimal when our mind is calm, when we’re in a parasympathetic tone: our peaceful state. At Glow, we’re all about slowing down with mindful classes for body AND mental health, anti-inflammatory Red Light Therapy, and Wellness Spa treatments >

• We recommend the following weekly routine for all special conditions: weekly Chakra Meditation & SoundBaths, Yin Yoga w/Hot Stones on Fridays, Restorative +Reiki Sat-Sun, Stretch & Rollout on Saturdays, 360°Barre classes daily, and a monthly Spa Treatment to release stress and mental overwhelm.

• The truth is that holistic yoga is excellent for pregnancy and other special conditions. Please see this Article on Pregnancy Modifications and watch a YouTube Pregnancy Yoga Playlist we put together for each trimester to see what poses are recommended and which ones to avoid. If your doctor has cleared you for exercise - you can come to any class at Glow, and if not yet - weekly Meditation, Soundbaths, Restorative+Reiki, Paint Classes & Spa.

• Massage therapy is the best natural pain relief treatment and is even recommended as a post-cancer recovery. For pre-natal massage please book with Lovelyn or Tankut. Please take advantage of our Spa Membership to book an affordable monthly massage, and try our thoughtful video sequences using massage therapy balls and a foam roller at home >
