Frequently Asked Questions

I have never taken a Yoga Class before. What should I wear?

Please wear clothing that allows you to move your body freely while also providing your teacher with the ability to see your alignment.

Do I need to bring anything with me to class?

Please bring your own mat, blankets, bricks and belt if you have them. These items are also available in limited supply to borrow at the center.

I have taken Yoga classes at fitness centers, gyms and other studios before. What makes Iyengar Yoga classes different?

Our classes and our teachers are exceptional. Certified Iyengar Yoga Teachers have trained for several years, not hours, and have successfully passed a days-long assessment examination by leading Yoga experts before earning the designation (C.I.Y.T.) from the Iyengar Yoga Association of the United States (IYNAUS). Once certified, C.I.Y.T.s elevate their study of gross and subtle anatomy, physiology, psychology, Yoga philosophy, meditation, stress-reduction, breath work, etc. through dozens of hours of continuing education each year and hundreds of hours of practice.

Where is the Iyengar Yoga Center of the Lehigh Valley located?

The IYCLV is located in the Star of Bethlehem Lutheran Church on the West Side of Bethlehem, one block off of Broad Street at 514 3rd Avenue #210, Bethlehem, PA 18018 .

Where do I park?

You are welcome to park in the parking lot adjacent to the Church except on Sunday mornings (before 10:30am), when we are asked to park “on-street”.

From the parking lot, take the few steps down to the red double doors facing the center of the parking lot. Once Inside, head to the top floor. The studio is the second room on the right.

Additional important information for new students:

Please remove your shoes in the hallway. The room across the hall has space for you to hang your coat and leave your clothes. You can change in the bathrooms - turn left at the end of the hall and you’ll find the bathrooms just to the left of the steps. The snacks, treats and refreshments, including tea, espresso, sparkling beverages and water, are our gift to you. Please leave all food and drinks in that room, including your personal water bottles. There is a large basket in the studio for you to store any valuables.

Should I purchase a class pack?

Class packs are for students who regularly attend class (at least once each week) because they expire after 7 weeks.

If you consistently attend class:

  • once per week, buy the 6 class pack

  • twice per week, buy the 12 class pack

  • more than twice per week, buy the unlimited pack! 

A significant discount is built into the class pack pricing. Even if you miss class and are unable to make-up in any other class before your pack expires, you are still receiving a discount over the drop-in class pricing.

Whenever possible, students who regularly attend class in-person should join class virtually when unable to come to the studio.

How do I check how many classes are left on my class pack?

To check the details of your class pack, click the ‘Register’ button on our Class Schedule page.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the ‘Check Code Balance’ button (pictured below).

Select the ‘Check by email’ tab and enter your email address.

An email will be sent including the pack code and the balance remaining on your pack.

Can I request an extension for my class pack?

When you purchase a class pack you save money and have 7 weeks to use 6 classes. Students experiencing extenuating circumstances should send us an email and consideration will be made on a case-by-case basis.

All class purchases are final, non-refundable and non-transferable. We regret that we cannot issue credits for no-shows. 

An important note to those who attend class in-person: please take the time to register before class begins. Students who attend class without registering will have their card on file charged $30 (the cost of a drop-in class plus processing fees).
