About Our Classes?
-
Great! We love beginners. The perfect class for you is basics, or our quarterly beginner series. All you need is yourself, water, comfortable clothes and a yoga mat. Arrive early!
-
For those new to yoga, we always suggest starting with The 45 Class or our Basics classes, which focus on the fundamentals and help you build a solid foundation. More experienced students can explore the Mixed Level, Hour, or Sculpt & Core classes for a dynamic challenge. However, please note that to attend our Intermediate/Advanced classes, you should have a consistent yoga practice of at least one year.
-
Teachers at Three Queens are like a family. You know everyone is related, but everyone is still unique. The same is true about class. Expect similarities, but uniqueness in teacher cueing, direct attention to the hows and whys the body moves, along with story and theme’s relatable to the world we live in. Check out teacher bios to learn what each teacher offers.
-
A yoga mat. We sell them. If you get serious about yoga- we can help you pick a mat that is right for you. If you don’t have a mat, we have loaners (loaned mats are on hold due to Covid-19)
Water. The studio has filtered water and also sells water.
Some students like a small hand towel for sweat. We do not have towels, so we encourage you to being your own if you think that is something you might need.
-
Yoga class is deeply personal for every individual. Three Queens welcomes you to explore your practice in our space in ways meaningful to you. Expect that if you are newer to yoga that some classes may be more challenging but all of our teachers will offer options to make poses more accessible.
-
Three Queens supplies cork blocks, straps, blankets, and therapy balls for class. Where appropriate, there is access to bolsters.
-
Probably not a lot. We love questions, and we love to break down poses in longer classes. Additionally, we are all about building internal heat. This typically comes from longer holds and focused breath work in postures. If you are looking to let go and flow, we might not be the studio for you
-
Consent is essential to us at Three Queens. We seek consent in meaningful ways, from how you like to be addressed (pronouns) to how you want us in your space. We also ask open-ended questions about how you are feeling and your wellness- which is your invitation to share with us things that are important to your practice.
Some students love hands-on assists and feel that being assisted with touch in asana postures is part of the yoga class experience. While we recognize the yoga industry’s long history of “touching every student” in yoga classes, Three Queens does not adhere to that belief.
Our classes are taught with direct verbal cueing and adjusting, and we pride ourselves on using words over hands to guide students to proper alignment in almost every scenario.
Will you see the occasional hands-on assist in class? Possibly. When that occurs, rest assure there has been a conversation about consent.
-
Not if you don’t want to be. Some classes are live streamed, but the camera faces away from the student. We respect your privacy.
-
Three Queens is not a hot vinyasa studio with heaters. We love bringing the heat, and promise you will sweat, but if you are looking for heated flow, we are not for you.

The building, first floor studio, and boutique is on the ground level, with a step up to enter, and an ADA bathroom. However we are not wheelchair accessible. The main studio is on the second floor and requires the use of stairs to access.

Generally speaking no. If you are a medical professional, on -call or have something emergent, we will consider it on a case by case basis at the teacher’s discretions. Every teacher is unique and has the autonomy to decide what it best for their practice. As a rule Three Queens prohibits cell phones in the studio. Also, Phones must be silenced upon entering the building. Phones left on, will be silenced by staff if needed.
-
We love yoga, and we love to have fun and see our friends. But yoga is also a spiritual practice for many. We encourage you to use your inside voices at the studio and in the retail boutique.
-
We do not have lockers or showers. Items like coats, shoes, and bags are left downstairs on hooks and cubbies. Three Queens is not liable for lost or stolen items.
-
Items left behind will be placed in the first two cubbies downstairs for up to two weeks. After that, unclaimed items will be discarded or donated, and we are not responsible for lost or missing belongings.

Mat storage is available exclusively to Monthly Unlimited members. All mats must be stored in a bag and clearly labeled with the member’s name; any mat not properly bagged and tagged will be discarded.
