Frequently Asked Questions

I understand that life happens! Here’s how makeup classes work for my 4- and 6-week yoga series:

  • Each participant is allowed one (1) makeup class per session.

  • Additional missed classes beyond that one makeup opportunity are considered non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled. (Thank you for understanding!)

  • Makeup classes are offered quarterly (or as needed) and are the best opportunity to make up a missed class.

  • If space allows, I may be able to accommodate you in another currently running session, but this is not guaranteed.

  • Makeups must be used as scheduled and cannot be rescheduled, so please plan ahead if you intend to use one.

  • Makeups are not transferrable between locations.

  • For classes run through LaPorte Park & Recreation Department, makeups are not available unless the class is cancelled by Christie. In that case, a makeup date will be offered or a credit issued.

  • If you know in advance that you’ll be missing a class, please let Christie know so she can offer the spot to another client—some classes have waitlists!

  • Please note: Series pricing already includes a built-in discount—you're essentially getting one class free compared to drop-in rates. This helps make the series a great value, even if you miss a class.

Thank you for your understanding and support in helping our classes run smoothly!

I totally understand that things come up! Here’s how cancellations for drop-in classes are handled so I can plan accordingly and offer your spot to someone else if needed:

  • More than 48 hours’ notice – You’ll receive full credit toward a future class.

  • 24–48 hours’ notice – You’ll receive 50% credit toward a future class.

  • Less than 24 hours’ notice – I’m not able to offer refunds or credits for last-minute cancellations. Many of my classes fill, and late notice makes it tough to offer your spot to someone else.

  • No-shows – Unfortunately, no credit or refund can be given.

Thanks so much for your understanding! These guidelines help me keep class sizes comfortable, meet space rental minimums, and welcome in as many yogis as possible.

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Please review the weather guidelines for each class:

🌊 FRIDAY BEACH YOGA

  • Class is cancelled if the temp is under 60°F.

  • If it's raining, class will still be held under the covered pavilion.

🚶‍♀️ FRIDAY WORKOUT + WALK

  • Class is cancelled if it's raining or under 60°F.

  • Check your email or FB event page for updates the morning of class.

💜 SATURDAY LAVENDER FIELD YOGA

  • Class is still happening rain or shine, and in any temp!

  • If it's raining or under 60°F, we’ll move upstairs to the cozy Loft above the shop.

🧺 WHAT TO BRING

  • A towel to place under your yoga mat – it helps absorb morning dew in the grass and prevents slipping, and it’s also great for keeping sand in place on the beach.

  • Layers for warmth and weather.

  • Water bottle and sunscreen as needed!

🐞 A GENTLE REMINDER ABOUT BUGS

In the spirit of ahimsa, we ask that you be kind to all creatures — even the tiny ones. If a curious bug lands on your mat, take a breath and gently let it be. We’re guests in their home, too!

Please dress for the weather, bring layers, and check your email or FB event pages for any last-minute updates!

At my indoor locations, I have plenty extra to borrow if do not have your own already. You are welcome to bring your own if you would prefer, and this is encouraged especially for outdoor classes since I do not bring them along.

For outdoor classes, you may also want to bring a beach towel or blanket for under your mat with sand and dew!

Bringing siblings to yoga is great for their relationships and fun for them to do together!

If you have multiple children that fall into different age ranges for classes, reach out to Christie to find out what option makes the most sense for your family and schedule.

I am happy to accommodate siblings being in the same class when possible! For most classes, there is a pricing option for adding a sibling.

I offer makeup classes on an as needed basis. I will contact you directly when there is an option to makeup your missed class. Please keep in mind this is usually quarterly and may be several weeks later at a specifically scheduled time. Makeup classes cannot be rescheduled

Call/text Christie at (219) 402-0535 to find out if there is room for drop-ins or last minute signups. The registration window may have closed on the website, but that doesn't always mean it's "full".
Keep in mind that Baby & Me Yoga and Prenatal Yoga class have even more limited class space, so of course early registration is encouraged for all classes!
