Who this list is for
This checklist is for yoga instructors responsible for opening a small studio before a scheduled class. It focuses on setting up the space for comfort, cleanliness, and a welcoming atmosphere. Use this if you’re the first to arrive and need to make sure the studio is ready for students, with all props and amenities in place.
How to use this list
Start by unlocking the entrance and turning on the reception lights. Adjust the room temperature to a comfortable level, then open blinds or curtains for natural light if desired. Walk the studio floor to inspect for debris or hazards, then sweep thoroughly. Arrange 15 yoga mats evenly, ensuring enough space between each. Clean all 30 yoga blocks, and set out 15 yoga straps, 10 bolsters, and 15 blankets. Prepare the mat disinfectant spray and cleaning cloths for use after class. Lastly, fill the drinking water dispenser so students have easy access to water.
Common mistakes
Rushing through setup can lead to missed details, like leaving mats too close together or forgetting to clean blocks. Don’t skip sweeping even if the floor looks clean—dust and debris build up quickly. Avoid setting out fewer props than needed, as students may arrive expecting a full set. Be sure the water dispenser is filled; running out during class is a common complaint.
What is on this list
You’ll find tasks like arranging yoga mats, cleaning yoga blocks, setting out straps, bolsters, and blankets, and preparing cleaning supplies. The list also covers unlocking the entrance, turning on lights, and filling the water dispenser. Cross off any items you’ve already completed or that don’t apply for your class size. This helps you keep track and ensures nothing is missed.
Before students arrive
Do a final walk-through after setup. Check that mats are spaced well, props are clean and accessible, and the room feels inviting. Make sure the water dispenser is full and cleaning supplies are ready for post-class use. This last check helps you catch anything overlooked, so you can greet students with confidence.
