**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.*
