Balancing Breath FAQs
Welcome! Balancing Breath is a yoga and mindfulness studio located in downtown Tuscaloosa. Whether you’re sweating through a hot power flow, finding strength in Yogalates, or unwinding in a restorative or yin class, there’s a place here for every body and every intention.
-
If you're new to yoga, we recommend beginning with a Gentle or Restorative class. These slower-paced options are great for building a strong foundation. Jumping straight into a Hot Power Flow can feel intense if it's your first time on the mat.
For your first class, we suggest arriving 10 minutes early. This gives our teacher time to welcome you, show you around the studio, and help you get settled before class begins.
-
We have everything you need at the studio to borrow (mats, bolsters, blocks) at no extra price.
-
We maintain a “no late entry” rule. Students are not permitted to join a class once the scheduled start time has passed and the door has been locked. Arriving late disrupts the flow of the class, can interfere with the focus and meditation of other students, and means the student will miss the essential warm-up and centering phase of the practice. Missing the warm-up can increase the risk of injury. Doors open 10 minutes before class, and we strongly encourage all students to arrive at least 5 minutes before the scheduled class time.
If you cancel 3 hours or less before class starts or do not show up to class, you will be charged $5.
-
These policies are maintained to ensure every student has an opportunity to attend a class, given our limited capacity of only 12 spots, and to ensure our instructor has a fair warning of what to expect for attendance.
You can cancel a booking using MindBody at any point.
If you cancel less than 8 hours before the start of class, you will lose the class.
If you cancel 3 hours or less before class starts or no-show, you will be charged $5.
If a class has two registered students or less four hours prior to the start time, the class will be cancelled, and the class will go back on your account.

Schedule a 30 or 60 minute private lesson with a BB instructor here! Our instructors can help you whether you are brand new to yoga or wanting to work on something specific.
