Because Budding Yogis strives to bring yoga to everyone regardless of their financial situation, we offer a sliding scale fee for all classes. If you cannot afford to pay the published class fee, please pay what you can afford. Limited scholarships are available; please contact the studio for more information.
make-up policy
Missed classes can be made up anytime within the same session. Students may make-up in any class. Families may transfer the make-up to another household family member during the same session. Students may also transfer the make-up to any Budding Yogis classes at the Chevy Chase location.
class refund policy
Full refunds, minus a $25 administrative fee, are given prior to the first week of classes. Pro-rated refunds, minus a $25 administrative fee, are happily given through the fourth week of any session. Sorry, but after the fourth week of any session, no refunds can be given.
workshop refund policy
Unless otherwise noted on our website, workshop refunds are provided minus a 20% administrative fee if the student cancels at least 48 hours before the workshop. Sorry, no refunds are given within 48 hours of the workshop. Day-long and special event workshops may have different refund policies, which are noted in individual workshop descriptions on our website.
All refund requests should be directed to gayle@circleyoga.com.
weather and emergency cancellation
Class cancellations will be announced on voice mail 202.686.1104 two hours before class time.
private session cancellation
When a private lesson is scheduled, that time is reserved exclusively for the student. Often our teachers are coming in outside their regularly scheduled time at the studio. Students will not be charged for canceling private lessons if 24 hours notice is given. To cancel, students must contact the studio or call the teacher directly if that number is available. If less than 24 hours notice is given, the full fee will be charged.
multi-class discounts
Household family members and individuals registering for multiple classes during the session will receive a 10% discount on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th (etc.) classes. This discount applies through the first week of Circle Yoga and Budding Yogis classes.

Please feel free to wear any comfortable clothing to class (not too baggy, please) and bare feet. There is no eating in the studio, so please eat well in advance of class (yoga is best done on an empty stomach). Please leave cell phones at home or in the dressing area.
adult participation
One adult must be present for Movers & Twisters, Family Yoga, and Toddler Yoga. Other kids yoga classes are drop-off. Due to limited studio space, family members are asked not to observe these classes.
