Welcome! We are so excited to invite you into our studio.
We know new can be scary. Don’t worry! We are here to guide you along even the early steps of your journey with us.
New Students
How do I get started at Spirit Rising Yoga & Meditation?
Review our class descriptions and class schedule to determine what is the right first class for you to try.
Looking for more relaxation or flexibility? Yin might be the perfect class for you. Looking for some strength building? Slow Flow Vinyasa might be perfect. New to SRYM but not yoga and wanting to flow? Sign up for Vinyasa! Not quite sure? Hatha is that perfect in-between class. You really can’t go wrong, because just being in our studio and with our community will make you feel good.
On the Class Schedule page, elect the “Book Now” button to register for the class. When you are prompted to sign in or create a profile, please create a profile using an email you can easily access as it will become your future sign-in. Also, all studio correspondence will go to this email.
Navigate through payment and be sure to select our new student special of 30 Days of Unlimited Classes for $30! This intro offer allows you to try as many classes as possible, with all the teachers, at all the times available. Once your thirty days ends, you will confidently know which membership or package is the right fit for continuing your practice with us.
Give yourself extra time to find the studio and get acclimated for your first class. We have a secret entrance in the back of the building and once you arrive, you will want time to meet the teacher and other students, gather your props, use the restroom, and generally settle in.
Explore our classes and studio offerings with an open mind and heart. Gift yourself the opportunity to fully experience everything SRYM has to offer so that you can feel spiritual growth, physical change, mental clarity, and self-discovery in just our intro offer. Imagine what can happen if you stay with us beyond thirty days!
Frequently Asked Questions for New Students
Where are you located?
We are near PetSmart and ElToro, in the Riverview office building. Please park in the parking lot closest to PetSmart, go toward the back of the building, and down the set of stairs to enter directly into our space.
Do I need a mat, props, or special equipment?
You do not need anything but yourself. Students can borrow our mats, blocks, straps, blankets, and other props at no charge. Most students, however, prefer to purchase their own mat. We invite you to try our studio options first to test what mat style you like best and then you can either continue to use a studio mat or purchase your own.
Do I have to wear tight pants?
No. Yoga clothes only need to be comfortable and allow for free movement. Students often wear form fitted clothing because they are comfortable while modestly covering the body during movement. More form fitted clothing also allows the teacher to monitor alignment and provide assistance during poses.
Do I have to pre-register?
We highly recommend pre-registering, although it is not required. Pre-registering saves time and helps ensure class begins on time. Pre-registering allows the studio team to contact students in case class is cancelled or other issues arise. (Classes will be cancelled if nobody is signed up at least 1 hour ahead of class start time)
What are my options once my new student special expires?
We have many membership and class package options available to suit a variety of attendance needs. If you plan to attend class 5 or more times per month, we recommend becoming an unlimited member. If you really love one specific class and want to attend once a week, we encourage you to become a 4x Monthly_Autopay member. Attendance more sporadic? Maybe a 10 or 20 class package is right for you. Still not sure? That’s ok, our Customer Experience Concierge will be in touch with you throughout your new student special to help answer questions and get you settled into the right package.
What is a Customer Experience Concierge?
A Customer Experience Concierge is a member of our team who is not a teacher but is available for student feedback, questions, and comments. This person will assist you with understanding how to sign up for classes, ensure you’re taking classes that are appropriate for the goals you’ve set in your practice, and relay feedback on classes, experiences, and anything else back to the rest of the team.
