Online Classes
All our online classes are listed with the word ZOOM to distinguish them from our in-person offerings. These classes will be held online via Zoom. After registering online, you will be sent an automated Important Class Information email, with a Zoom link to join the virtual class. Please join 5 minutes early to resolve any tech issues. If you need help, read below for detailed info and troubleshooting help.
HYBRID some of our classes are "hybrid" classes, meaning that they offer both virtual and in-person options for the same class. Hybrid classes are listed as IN-STUDIO & ZOOM.
**The most common reason for not receiving the Important Class Information email containing the Zoom link is that you have opted out of receiving some emails from Dayaalu. In your MindBody Profile, under the section titled "What would you like to hear from us?", please make sure that the "Email" box next to "Reminders and Schedule Changes" is checked before you register. If you are still having trouble, read below for more info. Or, email us at info@dayaalucenter.com

HOW TO ACCESS OUR ONLINE CLASSES
In an effort to make the process of attending class during this time as easy as possible, we are using the MindBody system to connect you to our online classes.
We recommend you register at least one day early for your first class so there is time to troubleshoot any MindBody login issues with you before class, and 30 minutes before a class after that to give yourself time to prepare.

TROUBLESHOOTING IN ZOOM:
Best Practices:
Your microphone will be automatically be muted when you join a class. If you would like to interact before or after class, you have to go to the bottom left of your screen and "unmute" yourself by clicking the microphone icon. The teacher will mute everyone before class starts, but the easiest is if you leave yourself muted unless you have something you want to say.
Unstable Internet Connection/Low Bandwidth (Video or Audio Lag):
SETTING UP YOUR HOME STUDIO:
Consider joining the class 5 or 10 minutes early to get your tech and space set-up right before class begins. If you receive a “Waiting for the host to start this meeting“ message, this means the teacher has yet to open the Zoom room. Please wait and you will be automatically joined once the room is open.
At-Home Props: If you don’t have all the props at home that you usually use in the Dayaalu studio, consider these alternatives, or get creative!

Unstable Internet Connection/Low Bandwidth (Video or Audio Lag):
- The closer to your router the better your internet connection. Also if anyone else sharing your connection is streaming or accessing the internet it can greatly slow down your connection, along with peak hour slow downs when more people in your neighborhood are also streaming and downloading.
- Turn off your video to prevent overloading your connection capacity: Go to the bottom left of your screen where you will see the image of a simplified video camera. Click it to “stop” your video. This will prevent others from seeing you, but you will still be able to see the instructor and other students who have their videos turned on.
- Make sure the volume on your device is turned up
- Check your Zoom audio settings by going to the bottom left corner of your screen and clicking on the ^ symbol to the right of the microphone image. Select “Audio Settings”, go to Microphone and select “Test Mic”. If you are unable to hear yourself, select a different Mic option from the dropdown menu to the right.
SETTING UP YOUR HOME STUDIO:
Consider joining the class 5 or 10 minutes early to get your tech and space set-up right before class begins. If you receive a “Waiting for the host to start this meeting“ message, this means the teacher has yet to open the Zoom room. Please wait and you will be automatically joined once the room is open.
At-Home Props: If you don’t have all the props at home that you usually use in the Dayaalu studio, consider these alternatives, or get creative!
- Yoga Mat Alternatives: a towel or stiff rug
- Yoga Block Alternatives: stack of books, small sturdy cardboard box, etc!
- Yoga Strap Alternatives: a belt or scarf
- Yoga Bolster Alternatives: bed or couch pillows
