Online Yoga Classes at Orchid Tree Yoga!
Hello Everyone! We miss you all very much!
Students can utilize any pre-paid 30-day packs as well as any classes you have remaining from your Winter Wellness Package.
OTYstudents will not lose classes that were paid for prior to the studio closure due to COVID-19.
To access these classes simply sign in to your MindBody account and go to the classes tab. Virtual (online) classes are listed.
Sign in to register as you would for a regular class. The instructor will email you the link to access the class via Zoom. It is not necessary to download Zoom in order to access a class.
You will have maximum of a week in which to access a class. The earlier you register the sooner you will receive the class. Access will close at the date and time of the class. Once that class is closed you can register for the next class by going to the Arrow button and going to thenext week.
Any questions - feel free to contact Laurel or your instructor via email. All emails are listed on the Instructors page.
In order to honor the effort of your instructor in offering you this "at home" option to practice yoga, we ask that you not share the link with others as this would deprive your instructor of payment due to an unregistered student.
