Embody Movement Studio Policies

Welcome to Embody Movement Studio. We believe in the power of clear communication. In order for us to serve you better, it’s important that we are in agreement on the following policies. Please read them carefully.

 

BOOKING POLICIES

WAIVERS

Upon entering the studio for the first time you will be required to sign a paper waiver.

 

DISCLAIMER

Schedule, teacher and prices of classes, memberships and/or products are subject to change without notice. Please always check our website for our most current offers.

​

PRIVACY POLICY

Your privacy is very important to us. Any personal information you choose to give us will only be used to help us provide you with the highest quality services, products, and support. We will never share your personal or financial information with any other party.

 

AGES FOR CLASSES

We believe coming to class is a form of self-care. With teacher permission, children ages 12 and up are welcome in some adult classes but must be discussed on a case by case basis with the instructor. Some of our classes will have elements of sensuality and emotional expression.  We are absolutely open to you wearing babies in class in a carrier but please speak with each individual instructor prior.

 

​

REGISTRATION AND BOOKING

All classes, workshops, and series should be booked in advance through our online booking system. Showing up at the door is welcome when space allows, but pre-registration is recommended to secure your spot, otherwise the class may be full. This also allows us to notify you should anything change or class is canceled.

 

PAYMENT

Payment can be made for Alanna's classes online via credit car, by e-transfer or cash. For all other teachers, you can e-transfer or bring cash. Most teachers offer a class pass. Prices are subject to change with notice.

​

CANCELLATIONS

Please login to your account to cancel or reschedule instead of reaching out to your teacher. Cancellations made 2 hours or more before the scheduled class time will be credited back to your account except in courses where no shows are not credited unless discussed with your teacher. If you paid by credit card you must contact us and you will receive a refund, not a credit. • Cancellations made within 2 hours of class start time are considered late and are non-refundable.

​

NO SHOWS

If you do not attend a booked class without cancelling, the class will be deducted from your pass. Please be thoughtful and cancel with enough notice to give others time to book your spot.

​

WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS

Workshops, series, and special events often require a higher level of commitment and preparation. These bookings are non-refundable, unless otherwise stated. If you are unable to attend, you may transfer your spot to another person with prior notice to the studio.

​

WAITLISTS

If a class is full, you may add yourself to the waitlist. If a spot opens, you will be automatically enrolled and notified by email. Please remove yourself from the waitlist if you can no longer attend.

​

CLASS PASSES

Class passes are non-transferable and non-refundable. Expiry dates apply and are clearly stated at the time of purchase.

​

INCLEMENT WEATHER CANCELLATIONS

In an effort to keep everyone safe in inclement weather, it may be necessary to close the studio. Please consult Facebook, online scheduler announcement bar on our APP and your email for weather cancellations.

​

 

STUDIO POLICIES

Arrival & Punctuality

Please arrive 5–10 minutes early to settle in. To support a safe and uninterrupted experience, late arrivals may not be admitted once class has begun.

​

Respectful Community

Embody Movement Studio is a welcoming, inclusive space. We ask all participants to move with respect for themselves, others, and the shared space. Discrimination, harassment, or disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated.

​

Listening to Your Body

All classes are offered with the invitation to move at your own pace. Please honour your body, rest when needed, and inform the instructor of any injuries, health concerns, or relevant conditions before class.

 

Consent & Touch

Hands-on assists or touch-based guidance may be offered in some classes and will always be optional and consent-based. You are encouraged to communicate your preferences clearly.

 

Barefoot & Attire

Most classes are practiced barefoot unless otherwise specified. If you need to wear shoes, they must be non marrking, very clean indoor shoes. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows for free movement.

 

Personal Belongings

Please store shoes, bags, and coats in designated area at the front cubbies. Embody Movement Studio is not responsible for lost or stolen items. We do have a lost and found area to the left of the cubbies.

 

Cleanliness & Care

Help us care for our shared space by returning any props you use neatly after class.

 

Health & Hygiene

If you are feeling unwell, we kindly ask that you stay home and rest. This helps keep our community healthy and supported.

 

Photography & Recording

Photography or recording during classes is not permitted without prior consent from the instructor and all participants.

 

Right to Refuse Service

Embody Movement Studio reserves the right to refuse service or remove participants who do not adhere to these policies or whose behaviour compromises the safety or wellbeing of the community.

 

By booking a class or attending Embody Movement Studio, you agree to these Booking and Studio Policies. Thank you for helping us cultivate a grounded, respectful, and embodied community.
