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.

  • What should I bring?

    If you have a yoga mat, please bring it along. If not I am happy to lend you one but would recommend making the investment if you intend to come aloong to classes regularly. Bring a water bottle if you like, and warmer layers for relaxation.

  • What should I wear?

    Please wear clothes that you feel comfortable in and that allow you to move easily. Layers are a good idea as you will find you warm up when moving and cool down quickly during relaxation. Shoes should be removed before stepping on mats, and I recommend practicing in bare feet.

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

    Yes.  Yoga is an inclusive practice and is suitable for all.  Different options 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.

  • What is Mysore Style Ashtanga?

    “Mysore” style Ashtanga yoga is a way of teaching 1:1 in a group setting, so I can make the practice relevant for each individual.  All abilities, experiences, and bodies are welcomed and no prior knowledge of Ashtanga is needed to attend.  You will learn the sequence pose by pose, and progress at your own pace. Learn more in my class descriptions.

  • How does the monthly subscription work?

    I teach 39 weeks out of the year, with breaks for school or family holidays. The monthly subscription splits the cost of these 39 teaching weeks into 11 equal payments that are paid each month (except August). For anyone who attends classes regularly this system guarantees you a space at a reduced price.

  • How do online classes work?

    Online classes are live streamed on Zoom, I encourage people to have their cameras on during class. You will receive a link when you sign up, and the same link is used each week. After the live class a link to the recording will be sent to all pariticpants, giving you the flexibility to practice at a time that works for you.

  • What age is Yoga Babies suitable for?

    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, just email me to check. You can continue to attend Yoga Babies classes until your little one is too mobile for you both to enjoy it any longer.
