Dress Code -
LUY is family friendly and welcomes students of all ages and backgrounds to share space in a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment. To support a distraction-free and comfortable practice for everyone, we maintain the following dress code guidelines:
-
Yoga attire should be fitted yet flexible—clothing must allow for movement without being excessively tight, loose, or revealing.
-
Undergarments are not considered appropriate attire. Shorts must provide adequate coverage. Running shorts or garments that expose the buttocks or privates are not permitted.
-
Sheer or see-through clothing is not allowed.
-
Men may practice shirtless.
-
Women may also remove shirts, provided they are wearing a fitted sports bra that provides full coverage of the chest.
-
If an outfit is likely to distract others or compromise the comfort of the group, we ask students to choose a more appropriate option.
LUY reserves the right to request that any student change clothing or leave class if the dress code is not followed. We also reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who does not comply with studio policies or etiquette expectations.
