It’s my first class at KIND.
Welcome to KIND Yoga, we're thrilled you've discovered us! We've crafted an immersive experience that starts before you even unroll your mat.

To help make your first experience as enjoyable as possible, please review this list of need-to-knows prior to your arrival.
Arrival Time & Walk
All first time students are asked to arrive 20 minutes prior to the scheduled class start time. This is mandatory as your instructor will be meeting you at the parking lot to escort you for the 7 minute walk from the parking lot to the studio. Punctuality is key to help you settle in and familiarize yourself with the farm. Your instructor will may not be able to wait for you past the 20 minute early arrival time. Latecomers will not be permitted into class after the scheduled start time. As a general rule, please arrive 10 minutes before class start time to settle in and prepare for practice.
Nature Yoga Attire?

Layer up your clothing to ensure your comfort during classes regardless of any temperature fluctuations
Bring an umbrella or wear rain resistant outer layers for the 7 minute walk from your car to the studio
Bring a cozy blanket and your favourite cozy Savasana socks for the ultimate experience
Parking
Parking is in the market OVERFLOW parking, which is located directly to your right in the field - immediately after entering the driveway. Please be respectful of our farm market staff and do not use the market parking.
