FAQ

How do I start & what to expect?   

Have a look at our timetable and decide which class you would like to attend - you can book your spot on the timetable / bookings page if you like. Aim to arrive at the studio 20 mins before the class starts so we can get you registered.

Do I need to be flexible?   

Many people resist trying and doing yoga because of a perceived sense of inflexibility. This perception of "I can't do yoga because I'm not flexible" is like saying "I can't learn Spanish because I don't speak Spanish!" Yoga is not about how flexible you are, it is about stretching the body, quieting the mind and healing the soul. The more inflexible you are, the more you need yoga. Yoga improves flexibility.
