dak*shin*a: Dakshina is the tradition of making a financial offering to sustain the teaching of Yoga Science. Through giving, we deepen our capacity to receive the grace which is already on its way.

New Students:
New students are welcomed in classes with available space at any time within the session and fees will be pro-rated. Prospective students are welcomed to attend a trial class as a drop-in prior to registration if desired.

    * A $25 deposit or payment of the full course fee reserves your space in a class.
    * We accept cash or checks.
    * Please make checks payable to the instructor.
    * When paying by deposit, the balance is due before your first class.
    * Go to Registration Page

Make-up Classes:
If you miss your regular class you may attend another class with available space preferably with the same teacher or in the same yoga lineage. If you need to miss your class we encourage you to tune in to the group during class time as you will still be able to reap some of the benefits of being in community with others, and help your body hold on to the habit field of your weekly practice.
Make-ups for missed classes are offered within the session only, and not carried over into subsequent sessions.

Returned Check Fee
There is a $25 fee for returned checks.

Session Fees
The fee is pro-rated for late registrants. A 10% discount is offered to adults who attend 2 or more classes per session.

Drop-ins
Drop-in policies vary by yoga style and teacher due to space considerations, curriculum, and yoga lineage requirements. Many of our classes have open enrollment and welcome newcomers at any time. We encourage you to explore. Once you have visited a class you will experience deeper, more sustainable results by committing to a regular class on a certain day and time of the week. This allows your body to adapt to the habit that you are gifting to yourself.

Before dropping in, please call in advance to confirm that the class is running and has space. If you call the day of the class, you can listen to the recording on the answering machine, which will specify which classes have drop-in availability, but you may not be able to speak with the staff directly. If possible we encourage you to call or email ahead and inquire. The studio number is 508-480-8884.

If you have special circumstances such as an alternating work schedule, please inquire in advance and we will see if we can accommodate you.

Refund Policy
Refunds are not offered for student absences.
Sometimes a student finds it necessary to withdraw from a class. We offer the following refunds.

Transfers
Transfers are available within the session between classes that have available space. If you have a scheduling conflict, health concern, or want to try a different style of yoga, please speak to our staff. We will do our best to accommodate you.

Schedule Changes
Classes may be added or deleted based on enrollment. Thank you for your understanding!
