CLASS LIMITS
Why is there a 5-class weekly limit?
The reason for this policy is to honor and continue welcoming those who are fully maximizing our Magnolia House Patient Support Program while at the same time helping to expand program availability to our community.
Does this mean I can take up to 5 Yoga Classes per week?
No, the maximum number of yoga classes you can take per week is still 2.
If I am already registered for 5 classes, can I still sign up on the waitlist for other classes?
Yes, if you are signed up for 5 Classes and choose to sign up for a Waitlist then you will be added to the Waitlist. However, if/when the time occurs that you would move from the Waitlist into the class, you won’t be added to the class if you are still registered for 5 other classes that week (not including the Waitlist).
Are all classes and workshops included in the maximum?
The monthly calendar indicates which classes/workshops do not fall into the 5-class maximum. Please check the calendar for the most up to date information. All weekly classes are included in the 5 class maximum.
Are appointments such as Reiki, skincare, individual therapy, and hypnotherapy included in the 5-class maximum?
Yes, once the appointment is confirmed.
If I request an individual appointment, will the request be included in my 5-class maximum?
No, the request will not be included until the appointment is confirmed. If you are already registered for 5 classes when you get notified that your appointment request is confirmed, then you will have to cancel one of your classes in order to confirm your appointment.
Are educational lectures included in the maximum?
No.
Is the Men’s Cancer Support Breakfast included in the maximum?
No.
Can I take more than one class per day?
Yes, you can take more than one class per day.
What happens if I try to register for more than 5 classes?
The system will not allow you to register for more than 5 classes per week, unless the class you are trying to register for is not part of the 5-class max.
5 classes per week is not enough for me. I am nervous about how this will affect my healing and wellbeing. Do you have any suggestions?
We completely understand these feelings and we are here to support you. We have many resources that we can share with you. Please contact Kelli and/or Megan at [email protected] so that we can help you any way we can.
What happens if I already have taken 5 classes and there is space in a class, will the system add me, or will it place me on the waitlist even though there is space in the class?
The system will not add you to a class if you have already taken 5 classes even though there may be space in a class.

GENERAL – TECHNOLOGY
Do I have the most updated version of Zoom?
You will want to check that you are using the current version of the Zoom platform on your device. According to their website: “Zoom regularly provides new versions of the Zoom desktop client and mobile app to release new features and fix bugs. We recommend upgrading to the latest version once it is available. You can also check which version you’re currently running.”
You can also access Zoom through your web browser as an alternative to downloading the Zoom app:
- Click the link in your email with the Zoom link
- The option Join from your Browser will then appear underneath the download & run Zoom link.
- Click Join from your Browser instead of running the installer for the desktop application
How can I view my schedule online?
Once you log in to your account, you will see the “Your Account” window. Click on “Schedule” to view your current schedule as well as your waitlist status.
Note: You can access the “Your Account” window at any time when you are logged in by clicking on the “Login/Register” button.
I’m having issues with my technology. Can you help?
It is unlikely we will be able to help you if the technical issue has something to do with your device or internet service. Some tips that you can try if you are having technical issues are:
- Clear the cache on your computer
- Shut down and restart your computer and/or the Zoom Platform
How do you stream your classes online? What is MindBody?
We use the HIPPA-Compliant version of Zoom.
MindBody is the management software we use for participants to register online for classes.
I didn’t receive the zoom link or can’t find it. What should I do?
The Zoom link comes from [email protected] – this is different than the class confirmation emails you receive from MindBody.
Before contacting us, please check your spam and/or junk folders.
We are all receiving a lot of emails these days. A helpful tip to locate the email in your inbox is to use the search box in your email inbox. Type the name of the class you are seeking to locate the zoom link for and often times that will pull up the email with the zoom information you are seeking.
If you still can’t locate the email with the zoom link, please contact us at [email protected] or (310) 299-8470.
REGISTRATION
How do I sign the Magnolia House waiver? Do I need to do this to take classes?
Participants will be asked to digitally sign a waiver when they create an account online on our website: magnoliahouse.towercancer.org. To create an account, scroll down and click on “CREATE AN ACCOUNT” and follow the prompts. All program participants are required to sign a waiver prior to participating in any class. You will not be able to participate in any Magnolia House offering if you do not sign a waiver.
How do you sign up and register for online classes?
To sign up for classes and/or services participants first need to create an online account which you can access from our website: magnoliahouse.towercancer.org. After creating an online account, you will have the ability to register for offerings via our website. To view and sign up for offerings click on “VIEW CLASSES” or scroll down and click on “SIGN UP FOR CLASSES.”
When can I register for classes?
Registration opens at 8:00 AM on the 28th of each month for the following month’s classes. You can also register during the month.
If I don’t get the classes I want, what should I do?
If you are unable to get into a specific class, we highly recommend you add yourself to the class waitlist. If a space becomes available in a class, you will be automatically enrolled in the class and will receive an email notification of your updated status in the class. Please contact us if you are consistently having issues accessing the classes you want.
Now that classes are online, why is there still a class capacity?
Class capacity is set in place by our instructors to ensure they can safely manage a class.
GENERAL – CLASSES
Can my friend or family members attend classes?
Due to the limited class size, we are only able to accommodate cancer patients/survivors in our classes. Friends and family are invited to attend special offerings throughout the year.

Please feel free to reach out to us with any feedback. The best way is to email [email protected] or call us at (310) 299.8470. We also send out periodic surveys where you are able to share anonymously.
