New to Yoga Botanica, or just have a few questions before you dive in? We've gathered the most common ones here. If you don't see what you're looking for, reach out, we're always happy to help.

Where is Yoga Botanica located?

Yoga Botanica is located at 858 10th Street, Arcata, CA, in the heart of downtown Arcata. Look for our sage green storefront and signage, then head up the stairs. You'll find a living sanctuary filled with plants, natural light, and a warm welcome.

Where can I park?

Free street parking is available throughout the surrounding neighborhood. Please be mindful of posted signs and time limits, and give yourself a few extra minutes to find parking during busy class times.

When should I arrive?

Please arrive 10 to 15 minutes before class to check in, settle in, and prepare for your practice. Our doors open 30 minutes before class for members using the sauna beforehand. For the safety and experience of all students, doors are locked promptly at the scheduled start time, and late entry may not be permitted.

What should I bring?

You're welcome to bring your own mat and props, or rent a mat and towel with us. Blocks, bolsters, and blankets are available in the studio at all times. Please help us care for our shared equipment by cleaning borrowed items after class using the sanitizing supplies provided.

We recommend bringing:

• A water bottle

• A towel for heated classes

• Comfortable clothing you can move freely in

How does the sauna work?

The sauna is available as a $10 add-on to any class, and Gold members enjoy unlimited sauna access with every class booking. To help keep the space peaceful and respectful for everyone, we ask that all members and guests shower before entering and bring a towel to sit on.

Do I need to register for class in advance?

We encourage all students to preregister through our online schedule, as class sizes are limited and many classes fill in advance. Walk-ins are welcome as space allows. If you're preregistered, a self check-in system at the front desk helps streamline your arrival.

What if a class is full?

Join the waitlist. Movement on the waitlist is common, and many students are added before class begins. If a spot opens up, you'll be automatically enrolled and notified.

What's your cancellation policy?

Please cancel your reservation at least 3 hours before class if you're unable to attend. Late cancellations and no-shows prevent others from attending and may result in a late cancellation fee for unlimited members, or the loss of a class credit for class pack holders. Missed classes are non-refundable. Reservations must be canceled through your online account; we're unable to process cancellations by email, phone, or social media.

What's your membership and refund policy?

Drop-ins, class packs, workshops, retail purchases, and memberships are non-refundable. Memberships may be paused with advance notice, and membership cancellations require 30 days' notice.

What can I expect from the space itself?

Yoga Botanica is a living sanctuary where people come home to their bodies, to nature, and to one another. Enjoy the plants, the retail botanica, the tea corner, and our community gathering spaces and sauna before or after your practice, and help us care for this beautiful shared home.

Thank you for being part of our growing community. We can't wait to practice with you.
