| | | | | Yoga at the Beach | | |  | … from the Studio to the Sand
Release from your week this summer by indulging in a beach yoga class overlooking our beautiful Lake Michigan. Lengthening and extending the spine through a series of Hatha Yoga poses will allow you to start your morning with balance while connecting the breath, the mind, and the body. The tranquility of the beach setting will help you escape from the city... if just for a moment. | June 6 - August 30, 2009 Saturdays & Sundays 9:00-10:00am | |

| | Beach Class Policies & Procedures | How to Purchase a Class Pass 5-class pass = $75 10-class pass = $115
- Class passes cannot be purchased on the beach. All class passes MUST be purchased in advance via phone or online.
- After you purchase a class pass, please bring your receipt to the beach to receive your class pass from the instructor.
- You may share your class pass with a friend.
- Class passes can be used for Saturday or Sunday yoga classes.
- Class passes expire on August 28, 2009. The class passes cannot be used in the summer of 2010.
Where to Meet - Please arrive to class approximately 5-minutes prior to the start time. You will find the instructor wearing an Escape 2 Fitness shirt standing near the Escape 2 Fitness sign that is posted at the beach.
- Ohio Beach classes will take place on the Far East end of the beach on the sand, close to the shoreline. This is the end of the beach, furthest away from Lake Shore Drive.
- If no participants are present at the beginning of class start time, the instructor will wait for 15-minutes in chance of late arrivals. Class will still take place even if there is just one participant.
Who Can Participant - All participants must sign an Escape 2 Fitness waiver prior to their first class. Your instructor will have waivers onsite for participants to sign.
- All participants must be at least 18 years old.
- All fitness and yoga levels are welcome. Instructors and trainers will offer modifications for different levels.
What to Bring - Please bring a large beach towel, sheet, or mat to class. It is your preference. Often yoga participants bring both a towel and a mat. We recommend having a “beach” mat that can get sandy and a separate mat for the studio.
- Please bring a water bottle (or two), sun block, and sunglasses.
What to Wear - Wear comfortable, workout clothes. Layers are recommended. It is difficult to do yoga in baggy clothes. Yoga classes are done barefoot.
When It Rains & When It's Cold - If it rains within 30-minutes of class-start time, the class will be cancelled. For example, if it rains between 8:30-8:59pm, the 9:00am class will be cancelled. If it rains at 8:00am and stops raining at 8:29am, the 9:00am class will take place. We do not have a weather phone line to call. Our office is closed on weekends. This is the BEST policy we can come up with to avoid confusion.
- Class is cancelled if the temperature is below 55 degrees Celcius.
- There are no make-up classes.
When the Schedule Changes - In order for a class to remain on the schedule, it must consistently have 3 or more participants. Schedules will be reevaluated monthly. All participants with passes will be notified via email with any schedule changes. To assure you are receiving schedule updates, please provide us with your email address on the far right hand lower box that states ”Receive Health & Wellness Tips.”
- If you would like to request a class be placed on the schedule, please email contactus@escape2fitness.com. Please specify the beach, class type, and time. Please note, last summer, Ohio Beach’s environment was not conducive for conducting classes in the evening, so we have chosen to not host classes in the evenings at that beach in 2008 or 2009.
