Help Center / Getting started
New to Spark? Start here.
Spark classes suit every fitness level. You can modify any pose or move. The hardest part is to show up.
Spark classes are in three groups:
Start with the type of class that interests you most. Then try others. For what happens in each class, see "What is each class like?"
Classes are heated unless the timetable says otherwise. All classes at Buchon are warm or non-heated. Non-heated is 70-72 degrees, and warm is 73-75 degrees.
Yoga
Strength
Barre
Playlists in Sculpt, Barre, Bootcamp and Core + Cardio may be explicit.
First, make a Spark account. You can make one in the Spark Yoga app or on our website.
When you have an account, book a class in the app or on the website.
If the app is not working: book on our website instead, at sparkyoga.com. You can also delete the Spark Yoga app and install it again. If you still cannot book, chat with us on sparkyoga.com or email hello@sparkyoga.com.
Bring a water bottle, a mat and a towel.
Wear comfortable clothes that you can move and sweat in. Please do not wear strong scents or perfume. Some people are sensitive to them.
If you forget your mat or towel, you can rent a mat and a mat towel together for $4.
Spark has three studios in San Luis Obispo:
Laurel Lane and Foothill have showers.
To see class times for each studio, open the schedule in the Spark Yoga app or on our website.

This help center has answers on booking, waitlists, memberships, freezes, fees and studio policies.
Help Center / Booking
Booking, waitlists and cancelling a class.
Booking for a class opens at midnight, one week before the class.
For example, for a 6:00 am class on a Wednesday, booking opens at 12:00 am on the Wednesday one week before.
If a class is full, join the waitlist in the Spark Yoga app or on our website. You can join until 1 hour before class.
When a spot opens: we move the next person on the waitlist into the class, and we text you. You do not need to do anything.
If you cannot come: reply C or CANCEL to that text at any time before class. We give the spot to someone else, and we do not charge you a fee. If you no longer want the class, you can also leave the waitlist in the app.
When the waitlist stops adding people: close to class time, the waitlist stops moving people in.
Want a spot that opens after that? Text STATUS to the number that sends your waitlist texts. Then reply with the number for one class, or for all your waitlists. If a spot opens, we move you in and text you. If you cannot come, reply C or CANCEL up to 15 minutes before class, and we do not charge you a fee.
1 hour before class: the waitlist closes. We remove everyone who is still on the waitlist. Any open spot is then first come, first served. Check the app for spots that open from late cancellations.
Other texts you can send:
Cancel a class at any time in your account on our website, or on the home screen of the Spark Yoga app.
If you will not come to class, please cancel. Do this if you have a spot in class and also if you are on the waitlist.
To avoid a fee, cancel before the late-cancel window:
A late cancel costs $6. A no-show costs $12.
Yes, of course. There are two ways:
Guests are not included in your membership, so use one of the two ways above. Class pack and drop-in credits stay on the account of the person who bought them.
When you book, add your guest's email. We use it to set up their account and waiver before they arrive, so they are ready to go at the studio.
Help Center / At the studio
Checking in, what to bring, and studio rules.
When you arrive at the studio, say hello at the front desk. The front desk checks you in to your class.
Before class:
Say hello to other people in the Spark community.
Each studio room has numbers that show your spot in class.
Each type of class uses different props. The whiteboard outside the studio room shows the props for your class. You can also ask the front desk or your instructor.
During class
After class
Each studio has a bike rack outside. Bring a lock to lock your bike there. Bikes cannot come inside the studio.
Help Center / Policies
Fees, late entry, age and pregnancy.
You can change or cancel a booking at any time before the late-cancel window.
If you cancel inside the window, we charge a $6 late-cancel fee.
If you do not come to a class you booked, we charge a $12 no-show fee.
If the waitlist moves you into class inside the window, reply C or CANCEL to our text. We then do not charge you.
If you have a question about a fee, or want a fee refunded, email us at hello@sparkyoga.com. If you are already writing to us, ask in the same email. Tell us the class, the date and what happened. You can also ask in the chat. Tap the chat button on any page of sparkyoga.com, tap Help with my account, and enter the code we email you.
No. To respect the other students and the instructor, we do not let anyone into class after it starts. Please plan to arrive early.
If you have an emergency, chat with us on sparkyoga.com or email hello@sparkyoga.com, and we will cancel your booking.
Here is what we can refund.
A refund takes a couple of business days to reach your card.
For late-cancel and no-show fees, see "What are the late-cancel and no-show fees?"
To ask for a refund, email hello@sparkyoga.com. If you are already writing to us, ask in the same email. You can also ask in the chat. Tap the chat button on any page of sparkyoga.com, tap Help with my account, and enter the code we email you.
The minimum age to practice at Spark is 14. You also need a signature from a parent or guardian.
Please do not bring your children to the studio during your class. This is for the comfort of our staff and other clients.
If you are pregnant, talk to your doctor before you take any class, heated or not heated.
Help Center / Membership
Memberships, freezes and cancelling.
Here are Spark's memberships and class packs.
Memberships
Every membership includes Spark On-Demand, our class video library. See "What is Spark On-Demand?" Guests are not included in your membership. To bring a guest, see "Can I bring a guest?"
Classes without a membership
Class packs expire 12 months after you buy them.
New to Spark? Your first 3 classes cost $50 together. Use them within 2 weeks.
Buy any of these in the Spark Yoga app or on our website.
Yes. Full-time students at Cal Poly or Cuesta College get $10 off Spark Unlimited. You pay $139 a month instead of $149. Spark Unlimited has a 3-month minimum.
To get the student rate:
We email you when we approve it. After that, the discount applies automatically when you buy Spark Unlimited. If you already have Spark Unlimited, the discount starts with your next monthly charge. It does not change a charge you already paid.
The student rate lasts one year from the day we approve it. To keep it, apply again before it ends.
The student rate does not apply to One-Month Unlimited. We do not offer other discounts.
You can freeze your membership two times each calendar year. The two freezes together can last up to 3 months.
Ask for the freeze at least 1 day before your billing date. If the freeze starts on your billing date, we still charge that month. We cannot refund a payment that we already took.
Medical freeze: if you cannot use the studio for a medical reason, you can freeze for up to 6 months. A medical freeze longer than 3 months needs a letter from your doctor.
Pregnancy freeze: you can freeze for up to 9 months. You do not need a doctor's letter.
To ask for a freeze, email us at hello@sparkyoga.com. If you are already writing to us, ask in the same email. Tell us your start and end dates. You can also ask in the chat. Tap the chat button on any page of sparkyoga.com, tap Help with my account, and enter the code we email you.
To cancel, email us at hello@sparkyoga.com before your next billing date. If you are already writing to us, ask in the same email. You can also ask in the chat. Tap the chat button on any page of sparkyoga.com, tap Help with my account, and enter the code we email you.
Your membership ends at the end of your current billing cycle. You can use it until the day before your next billing date. We do not give part refunds for part of a month.
Spark Unlimited and the student rate have a 3-month minimum. You can cancel only after the first 3 months.
Before you cancel, think about a freeze. If you have an older, lower rate, you lose it when you cancel. A freeze keeps your rate.
A cancellation cannot be undone. To come back later, you buy a new membership at the current price.
If your monthly payment does not go through, the app asks you to pay before you can book a class.
To fix it, open the Spark Yoga app and go to the payment methods in your account:
After you add the card, we charge the missed payment automatically. Then you can book again.
Which card do you charge? We charge the first card on your account. To make sure we charge the card you want, delete the other cards in the app.
If you see more than one charge after you fix your card, chat with us on sparkyoga.com or email hello@sparkyoga.com. If you are already writing to us, ask in the same email.
