Accessibility and Transparency
Your Body is a Temple. Worship Yourself.
Physical Accessibility
SPACE and STAIRS: Sabai Body Temple is located up a flight of stairs on the second floor of our building. We request shoes be removed in the studio.
LIGHTS: We keep the studio dimly lit but can raise lights upon request.
SCENTS: We regularly use incense and essential oils in the studio. Unscented oil is available for bodywork. With prior communication we can reduce incense use in a treatment room before client arrival but it will be used in the rest of the studio.
SOUNDS: Each treatment room has music and a noise machine with water sounds playing. Volume of these components can be adjusted upon request.
BODYWORK APPROACH: Depending on the reservation we recommend some level of undress to avoid getting oil products on clothes, or for exfoliation services to avoid getting water on clothes. Please communicate with your therapist before your session or during your intake interview if this will be a challenge for you.
DRINK TRAYS: We offer water or tea before and after each session. Some teas have a mix of herbal ingredients. If you have allergies to common (or uncommon) tea ingredients please let us know! Or go with water to be safe.
ALLERGIES: Sabai Body Temple is not a nut-free studio. Coconut oil, almond oil, and sesame oil are all present onsite and, no matter how well we clean, they may be present in the treatment rooms or have traces on surfaces. We run air purifiers in all rooms to reduce dust/allergen/virus content throughout the space. Our staff also bring their own snacks to work which may have common allergen content. PLEASE BE PROACTIVE and tell us if you have an allergy so that we can plan accordingly and keep you safe.
Audio vs. Visual Communication: Scheduling and rescheduling communication can happen via email (hellosabaibodytemple@gmail.com) or phone (612-872-8354). Online booking is available for initial scheduling; rescheduling and cancellations must be handled via phone or email. Onsite, team members can communicate verbally or via writing and may establish basic signs/signals with any hearing-impaired client prior to a session.
LANGUAGE BARRIERS: English is the common language of our team though we have team members who speak ______. If you have a language interpreter of any kind, they are welcome to be in the treatment room with you if you prefer.
Temple Hint: We are proud of our reputation for quality of bodywork and we aim to maintain a safe and supportive space for bodywork and bodywork education. If our space is not accessible to you, please reach out to hellosabaibodytemple@gmail.com so that our team can access your situation and determine the best way to serve you.

*We offer paid training and employee status to our team. Team members receive living wage, hourly pay, accumulated PTO, days off, and additional benefits. In a world where more and more businesses are using contractor models for skilled work, seasonal work, and jobs that respond to consumer demand... we are proud to take care of our employees and build a supportive and sustainable work environment.
WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT FINANCES AFFECT CLIENT FREQUENCY OF ATTENDANCE
As of Summer 2023 we are introducing the Tune-Up 40
This session is designed to sit at the intersection of Quality and Affordability. The Tune-Up 40 must be booked by a team member for eligible clients. We want to be a more affordable option for clients recovering from injury, frequent body stress, or with a specific wellness goal that benefits from frequent bodywork.
