Creating a Sacred Space: Etiquette & Arrival

The healing power of sound and yoga begins the moment you enter the room. To help maintain a peaceful “container” for everyone, please follow these guidelines:

🕊️ Arrival, Aftercare & Safety

To maintain a sacred and secure environment for our practice, please take a moment to read our house requirements.

Important: Door & Security Policy

For the safety and peace of mind of all participants, venue doors will be locked at the start of the session. * Why we do this: This protects you and your personal property while you are in a deep state of rest or meditation, preventing unauthorized individuals from entering the hall or venue.

• Late Arrivals: Unfortunately, once the doors are locked and the session has begun, I cannot leave the group to let latecomers in. Please ensure you arrive 10–15 minutes early to avoid disappointment.

During & After the Session

• Questions: If any questions arise during the practice, you can ask after the session end as I will be available for a quiet chat once the session has concluded.
• Leaving with Grace: Please move slowly and leave the space quietly to preserve your relaxed state.
• Returning Items: Before leaving, please mindfully return any borrowed props (folded blankets, bolsters) and return Oracle Cards or Eye Masks to the host.

✨ Essential Aftercare

A soundbath or Dru Yoga session can trigger a deep “detox” of the nervous system. To support your body’s integration:

• Hydrate: Drink plenty of water over the next 24 hours to help flush your system.
• Stay Grounded: You may feel “floaty.” Take your time before driving. Walking barefoot on grass or having a light snack can help ground your energy.
• Gentle Evening: If possible, avoid loud environments or heavy media immediately after the session. Let the stillness soak in.

⚖️ Disclaimer & Safety

Listening to your Body: Always honor your own limits. If a movement or sound feels overwhelming, you are always welcome to rest in a neutral position. (on your side or seated, you can move if you need to and seats can be used if requested)
