Are you new to Sacred Spirit? Welcome!
Whether you intend to join our classes or events virtually or in-person, please read on…

Our Location:

  • We are located at 343 Broadway, Dobbs Ferry, NY 10522, in the chapel at South Presbyterian Church.

  • The correct entrance for Yoga students faces Broadway, and has double wooden doors with windows in them. When you arrive, come along the middle walkway to find these doors and enter.

  • Once inside, turn right down the hall and the chapel is the third door on the left.

Contact Info:

  • For help with technical difficulties when registering or deregistering for classes or events online, or technical issues with viewing our virtual broadcasts, email us classes.sacredspirityoga@gmail.com. This email will be monitored regularly and we will get back to you. 

  • For general questions about our center and programs, email us info@sacredspirityogacenter.org.

About attending our classes, whether virtually or in-person:

  • Please buy your passes and register for classes online - even if you intend to take classes in-person.

  • Best practice: sign up for class at least 24 hours ahead of time. 

  • The yoga teachers will be opening the virtual class on Zoom at least 30 minutes prior to start time. They will be checking in people who are attending in-person, as well as monitoring the Zoom admissions and check-ins.

    • Whether attending virtually or in-person, please try to arrive at class no later than 5 minutes before start time to avoid inconveniencing the teacher and other students.

If you are joining Sacred Spirit for the first time:

  • Go to the MY ACCOUNT page of our website.

  • Enter your email address under the ‘create or claim my account’ section. (If you are joining for the first time, but we have your email in our system, you are “claiming” your account.)

  • For both newly ‘created’ or ‘claimed’ accounts, enter your password (make sure you note this password, so you can remember it for another time!) and include all requested info and sign off on our waiver, please!

  • Then proceed to the CALENDAR page to select a class, sign up and pay.

If you are already registered with Sacred Spirit:

  • If you’ve ever taken a class with us, it’s likely that your email address is in our system. To check, go to the MY ACCOUNT page of our website.

  • If the MY ACCOUNT page shows that you are logged in, proceed to the CALENDAR page.

  • If the MY ACCOUNT page shows you are not logged in, enter your email and your password. Proceed to the CALENDAR page.

  • On the CALENDAR page, select a class to sign up and pay.

To sign up and pay for virtual or in-person classes:

  • Start at the CALENDAR page..

  • Choose the date and class you would like to attend. Click Register and a box will appear that directs you to ‘Register & Pay’. You can choose a 1-class pass or a multi-class pass. Enter credit card info for payment. Choose whether you are planning to attend in-person or virtually. (Note! It will be possible to change your mind at the time of check-in; so if you chose in-person, but decide to stay home, the instructor will note that upon check-in). Once you have registered and paid, you will see a View Broadcast button on the CALENDAR page; this is your link to join the virtual (Zoom) class.

First time using Zoom to attend virtual classes?

  • Please download ZOOM software to whatever device you plan to use to watch and listen to the yoga class. (ZOOM basic is free and that’s all you need.) If you will use your computer, go to zoom.us and sign up. If you will use your phone or iPad/tablet, go to the store where you purchase apps (Apple app store for Phone/iPad, or Google Play for Android devices). The app is a little blue square with a white camera inside. In the Apple app store, it is called ZOOM Cloud Meetings. Set up an account using your email and password.

Note: Your device needs to be set to “allow Pop-Ups,” otherwise, ZOOM will not work properly. The pop-up blocker needs to be turned OFF, so that pop-ups are ENABLED. (On a PC, in Chrome, it's the 3 dots on the top right, then Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Site Settings, then looking at pop-up blockers and making sure that pop-up blocker is NOT turned on.)

Attending in-person?

  • Weekly Yoga classes in the South Church Chapel: In-person attendance is limited to a maximum of 15 students.

  • Weekly Yoga Classes will be broadcasted via Zoom, but in-person attendees will not be shown on camera during class.

  • You must sign a waiver when you register, pledging to NOT attend if feeling unwell or if you have experienced any exposure to someone with Covid 19. 

  • The correct entrance for Yoga students faces Broadway, and has double wooden doors with windows in them. When you arrive, come along the middle walkway to find these. The doors are unlocked.

  • Please be on time for the in-person classes! All areas of the South Church campus are designated as mask optional.

  • You may bring your own yoga mat, and props.

  • The studio is fully equipped with yoga props. Should you choose to use any studio equipment, you may if you wish bring a towel to drape between you and any fabric props (bolster, blanket).)

  • Sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizer are available in the studio space, hallway and designated bathroom.

Please note, we are working with the South Church leadership to update these protocols as needed. We will let you know if there are any revisions as soon as we can.

Cancellations:

On days of inclement weather, you will be sent an email with schedule notifications. In general, our policy is that if it is snowing, and/or road conditions are icy, flooded or dangerous, in-person classes will be cancelled. The class will be broadcasted on Zoom only. However, not all classes for the day will be cancelled if conditions improve, so be sure to check your email.

If special events are cancelled due to weather conditions, low attendance or for any other reason, we will attempt to reschedule if possible, or refunds will be credited. Refer to the refund policy below.

Refund Policy:

If Sacred Spirit Yoga Center cancels an event for any reason, we will try to re-schedule if feasible.  Participants have the choice to keep their registration for the new date, receive a full refund, or apply a full credit toward other classes, events or workshops.

If the participant cancels 1 week or more in advance, the participant has the choice to receive a full credit toward other classes, events or workshops, receive a full refund, or gift their registration to a friend. 

If the participant cancels less than 1 week in advance, the participant has the choice to receive a full credit toward any classes, events or workshops, receive a refund less a 25% cancellation fee, or gift their registration to a friend.
