**Mindful Movement Meetup Etiquette**

To ensure a safe, welcoming, and respectful environment for everyone, please follow these simple etiquette reminders during our meetups:

1. **Walk / Run in Pairs Only**
Please limit walking to pairs (2 people max) to avoid blocking the pathway and allow others to pass safely.
2. **Use “On Your Left” When Passing**
When overtaking others on the path, kindly say “On your left” so they know to stay clear — it helps prevent surprises and collisions.
3. **Use Earbuds for Audio**
If listening to music, podcasts, or anything else, please use **earbuds or headphones only** to keep the environment peaceful for everyone.

Thanks for helping make our movement community respectful, inclusive, and enjoyable!

\-\-\-
We can’t wait to meet you, move with you, and grow this positive movement together!
✨ *Stay kind. Stay active. Stay mindful.*
