tangerine's core values
Please read on for a note from our owner Laura about Tangerine's core values.
Our core values at Tangerine Yoga are kindness, inclusion, and authenticity. This week, I’d like to focus on the first two.
The inspiration for kindness comes from the yogic philosophy of ahimsa from the yoga sutras. Ahimsa, interpreted as non-harming, non–violence, or kindness, speaks not only to how we treat others, but also to how we treat ourselves. My hope is that when we practice yoga, in and out of the studio, we are kind to ourselves, listen to our body’s needs, and interact with each other in a kind and respectful manner.
In terms of inclusion, my hope is that Tangerine is a welcoming environment where people feel free to be themselves. Within our walls, we want people to not only be free from discrimination, but feel welcome and valued for showing up as they are.
If you are at the studio and do not feel these values are being reflected, we would invite you to please speak up and let our staff know. We take reports of discrimination seriously and will conduct a thorough investigation and take appropriate action.
We’re all part of the Tangerine community and each of us can influence the culture of this space - we trust you to help us make Tangerine the best it can be!
