Welcome to The Yoga Ridge

A few shared expectations help us create a safe, welcoming, and respectful space where everyone can settle in, connect, and enjoy their practice.

Everybody and every body is welcome.

Studio Etiquette

A few simple guidelines help us create a space where everyone can practice comfortably, connect with our community, and enjoy everything The Yoga Ridge has to offer.

Arrival

Arrive 10–15 minutes before class so you have time to check in, settle in, and prepare for your practice.
Classes begin promptly. Check in at the front desk before entering the yoga room.

Personal Preparation

Bring a yoga mat, towel, and water bottle. A mat and towel are required for all heated classes.
Leave shoes, bags, and personal belongings outside the yoga room.
No glass containers are permitted in the lobby or yoga room. Please use a plastic or metal water bottle.

Before Class

Say hello, visit with friends, and enjoy connecting with your community before class.
Notice the atmosphere around you. If others are grounding, breathing, or preparing quietly, keep conversations respectful.
Place your mat within the room layout so everyone has space to practice comfortably.

Phones & Devices

Phones and other electronic devices are not permitted in the yoga room.
Silence smartwatches and other wearable notifications before class begins.
Speak with your instructor in advance if a medical device requires an exception.

During Class

Remain in the yoga room whenever possible.
If you need to leave early, tell your instructor before class and exit quietly before final savasana.
Follow your instructor’s guidance and be mindful of movements or conversations that could distract others.

After Class

Stay for final savasana whenever possible. It is an important part of your practice.
Leave the yoga room quietly when others are still resting.
Return borrowed equipment neatly and take all personal items with you.

Courtesy & Care

Be kind and courteous to instructors, staff, and fellow students.
Practice good hygiene and use a towel on your mat during heated classes.
Be mindful of fragrances, conversations, and shared spaces.

Health & Safety

Do not attend class while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
If you feel sick or have symptoms of a contagious illness, please stay home and rest.
Tell your instructor about injuries, medical concerns, or accommodations that may affect your practice.

Sharing the Space

During full classes, mats may be placed closer together.
Be aware of the people practicing beside you and adjust your position when needed.
Help new students feel comfortable and included.

The Yoga Room Is a Shared Space

Community is encouraged. Respect is expected.

Some students enjoy visiting with friends before class, while others prefer to stretch, breathe, meditate, or prepare quietly. Both are welcome at The Yoga Ridge.

Please notice the atmosphere around you. Say hello, connect with your community, and enjoy your time together while respecting students who are grounding or preparing silently.

Our Studio Culture

Everybody and every body is welcome.

At The Yoga Ridge, yoga is about more than postures. It is also about community.

We come from different backgrounds, ages, abilities, and experience levels, but we share the same space and the same practice. Encourage one another, celebrate progress, and help create an environment where everyone feels comfortable from their very first class.

Thank you for helping make The Yoga Ridge a welcoming place to breathe, grow, and practice together.

More Yoga. Less Stress.

Thank you for being part of The Yoga Ridge community.

This is a very special place. The owner, Holly, genuinely cares about the success of her students and supports them in so many ways. She is one of the most kindhearted and sincere people I have ever met. She has also built an amazing team of instructors who truly care about yoga and the art form behind it. The studio is always kept very clean and welcoming. Whether you are brand new to yoga or trying one of the other classes they offer, you will get the support and encouragement you need to progress, challenge yourself, and become a better version of yourself. I’m very grateful to have found this place and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming, supportive, and inspiring studio.

I recently completed my 100th class here at the Yoga Ridge! I absolutely love the positive energy and enthusiastic instructors! There is always something new to learn and a growing variety of classes to select from. My yoga journey has given me the tools to take better care of myself from lowering cholesterol, adding an inch to my height and managing my weight and improving balance, mobility and strength. I personally enjoy the balance of hot yoga classes and then Yin to restore and reset. Can’t wait to try the new Hatha Yoga and Sculpt class soon!!! Hope to see you on the mat!!!

I tried my first hot yoga class with Holly today! It was phenomenal. I feel so rejuvenated! She is a wonderful host and so kind. I signed up for some more classes! Thank you, Holly!

I had to switch my yoga studio because I needed a schedule that worked better for me. I tried a couple of other places first, but ended up choosing this one. The studio is bright, has a nice vibe, and the instructors are professional and knowledgeable, which is important to me. I decided to get a membership and so far I’m happy with my choice. It’s still a new studio and they’re building their community, but I think they’re off to a great start.

The physical benefits of this practice improve my flexibility and have helped me regain joint mobility lost from personal injuries. Additionally, this practice incorporates focused breath work to calm the nervous system, thereby improving my mental health in class and outside the studio. I encourage anyone to try two weeks of classes at Yoga Ridge, attend any community events offered to help people improve their health, and/or become a member. The time and effort the instructors put into quality teaching is worthy of 5 stars. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I recently started attending hot yoga to try it out since I felt it was a pretty nice and low impact way to workout without going to the gym. I started coming because they have a new student membership where you get unlimited classes within a 2 week duration for only $60. I honestly really enjoy coming here. I’ve seen the improvements (mostly because I sometimes unintentionally do more advanced poses without knowledge lol) and I really think the instructors are amazing. Definitely try it out.

I cannot say enough good things about The Yoga Ridge. It had been about ten years since I’d taken a yoga class so at first I was a little nervous. The owners and teachers were immediately warm and welcoming. You can see how the owners have put their hearts into the studio and have thought out every detail to make classes a nice escape from the day to day grind. The cleanliness, education, atmosphere & compassion are top notch. The teachers are the best at guiding students in their poses. I came here looking for self care a few times a week and have found a supportive community. Having my lower back pain disappear as I’ve strengthened muscles has been a big bonus! Whether you’re looking to dip your toe in yoga or if you consider yourself a seasoned yogi this is the place to go.

So excited to have Yoga Ridge as part of our Ridgefield community. I was looking for a non judgmental studio to try yoga for the first time at and it is perfect! The people are great and I love the variety of classes. Instructors push me to grow while still supporting my comfort levels. I highly recommend!

This is a great new studio! The instructors are delightful and the class is amazing. I highly recommend if you are getting back into yoga or just wanted to expand your practice!
