Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?
We are located in the heart of downtown Newburyport, MA. Our studio address is 75 Water Street, Newburyport. Riverside is a part of The Tannery Marketplace. Our outdoor entrance staircase is located under Newburyport FISH.

Do you have parking?
Free parking is available in the parking lot right behind our building. If that lot is full, parking can also be found on the street or in the main parking lot of The Tannery just across the street.

What if I don’t have a mat / forget my mat?
While we suggest bringing your own mat, we do have a limited amount of loaner mats at the studio that you are welcome to borrow.

What if I’m late for class?
Life happens. Breathe, relax, get to class as soon as you can, and please set your mat up quietly when you arrive.

What if I need to leave class early?
Again, life happens. If you need to leave early please let the instructor know before class. We ask that you pack up and leave the studio ten minutes prior to the end of class so that there are no disruptions during savasana.

Can I share my class pass with a friend or family member?
No. Everyone must have their own class card or membership as they are offered at a discounted rate. You are welcome to purchase a single class drop in for your friend or family member.

Do you accept credit cards?

Welcome! Whether you are visiting us for a yoga class or bodywork, please arrive 10 minutes early so you have time to fill out any necessary paperwork and get settled. If you are new to yoga, check out our tips for new students.
