Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you might want or need to know about Black Swan Yoga

What's the studio like?

Our studios are open, and most are lobby-free. Please use the cubbies to store any belongings, and take off your shoes as soon as you enter to help us keep the studios clean!

What if I left something at the studio?

We keep all valuables nice and safe at the front desk or in our lost & found. Unclaimed items will be donated weekly, so please come by the studio immediately to pick up what was left behind.

Can I practice if I’m pregnant?

Please consult with your doctor or birth coach before attending a class. Most of our classes are heated and might not be suitable for those expecting.

Do you have showers?

The only locations that have showers are the Lover’s location in Dallas and the Fannin location in Houston.

Are all the classes heated?

Most of our classes are heated to over 90 degrees. Please feel free to step outside at any time for some fresh air if the heat gets to be too much, and stay hydrated throughout class. For those who have existing medical conditions or are wondering whether you can practice in the heat, please first consult with your doctor. Note, our Yin & Chill classes are not heated.

What do I need to bring to class?

Please bring a towel, water and yoga mat to every class. Most classes are heated and we want you to stay safe and hydrated! If you do not own or forget these items, we have them at the studio for purchase.

FYI ...You are always welcome to BYO Mat but always know that we got you and we have some options😉

Do I need to preregister?

All of our mat space is first come first served, and arriving 15-20 minutes early will give you plenty of time to check in, set up your space, and grab any extras you might need (water bottle, props, etc.). For a smooth and quick checkin we recommend you sign up ahead of time online or via the MindBody app.

_*Please be aware early registration does not guarantee a spot. _

Can I rent out the studio for an event?

We unfortunately don’t rent out the studio space at this time.

Can I bring my child to class?

Little Yogis are welcome to practice with a parent, as long as they have filled out our waiver. We do not offer child care or have a lobby area where kids can hangout, so they must be with their parent at all times.

I’m running late, can I still come?

If you’re running late to class, please come in, set up your space as quietly as you can, and sign in after class at the front desk.

*Please be aware that some of our locations lock the doors 5 minutes into class for the safety of our students, so please be sure to arrive as early as you can! If you are running more than 5 minutes late, we ask that you please come to the next class on schedule and our instructor will take care of you. If you have any issues or concerns please email us and we will do our best to take care of you!

Can I bring a guest?

The more yogis the merrier! If you’re bringing a friend or two, please have them sign the online waiver before arriving.

Do I need to sign up ahead of time?

Students can either sign up ahead of time online via our website or the MindBody app. We also accept and encourage walk-ins. Just remember all mat space is first come, first served, so arrive between ten to fifteen minutes before class to park, check in/donate, and set up your space.
