FAQ

  • Do I need experience of yoga?

    No, beginners are always welcome to classes. Most of my classes are suitable for all levels and practices will be clearly explained. For more information please look at the class descriptions.

  • How do I prepare?

    I recommend avoiding eating for 2 hours prior to an active yoga class such as Vinyasa Flow or Ashtanga, this is not necessary for family classes or more gentle forms of yoga.  Drink plenty of water before class and afterwards.  Avoid wearing hand cream or body lotion and strong smelling perfumes.

  • What should I wear?

    Leggings are ideal as they let me see your alignment, shorts or loose trousers may be worn if you prefer.  A vest top or T-shirt should be enough in warmer months, when it is cooler you may like a warmer top to begin with and for relaxation.  Shoes should be removed before stepping on mats, and I recommend practicing in bare feet. Children should wear comfortable clothing that they can move easily in.

  • Is it okay that I am not very flexible/unfit/overweight?

    Yes.  Yoga is an inclusive practice and is suitable for all.  Modifications are provided during classes for postures so that everyone can work in a way that suits their body.  Yoga is non competitive and there is no end game, everyone is on their own journey.

  • Do I need to wait until the start of a new block to start classes?

    No, although my classes are progressive I don’t run courses of a set length so it is possible to join at any point providing spaces are available.

  • Can I bring two children to family classes?

    You can attend any of my classes with two (or more) participating children or bring an older or younger child with you as needed. Two siblings attending with one adult can enroll in the same class for the price of one.  Siblings attending children’s classes independently need to pay the full amount.  If you would like to bring two children and are unsure about which class would be the best please get in touch.

  • When can I start Yoga Babies?

    The ideal age for babies to start is around 10-12 weeks as this is when they really start interacting with the world around them. However all babies are different and you are welcome to start classes sooner providing you and your baby have both had your 6 week checks.

  • Are Yoga Babies classes just for mums?

    No!  Dads, Grans, Aunts or any other adults are welcome to come along to the classes with children.
