>FAQ's

What happens at a yoga class?

Yoga classes usually begin with a short period of quiet to ground our attention to the mat, preparing our body, breath, and mind for the practice that will follow. We will practice breathing techniques to develop awareness and control over our breath. This will help us to use our breath in asana (posture work) to strengthen and improve our practice. We can also use the breath to still and focus our minds in preparation for meditation.

Students will be guided through a series of movements and sequences designed to limber the body and warm up our muscles and joints in preparation for physical asana (posture) work. We will then move through various asanas to strengthen and tone the body, improving the flow of energy helping to regulate the physical systems of the body and breath, while stilling the mind. The objective in asana work is not how far you can stretch or push your body, but to combine stability (stira) with ease/relaxation (sukha).

Classes are then likely to end with shavasana, a time of stillness and mindfulness.

Can I eat before practicing yoga?

It is recommended that we should wait two hours after eating before we practice yoga. However if you are starving and want to practice yoga but need some nourishment it's absolutely fine to eat a banana or have a little snack to sustain you through the practice.

Do I need any equipment?

All equipment is provided; however feel free to bring your own mat if you have one. It is recommended that you have a mat, as it also means you can practice outside of class. A yoga mat is a great investment!

What should I wear?

Always wear comfortable, practical & breathable fabrics to practice yoga in. You may find it useful to wear layers, or bring a blanket for relaxation.

Do I have to be flexible and fit to start a yoga class?

Everybody can breathe, therefore everybody can practice yoga. There is no minimum level required to start these classes. You may find that regular yoga practice improves your flexibility and fitness, as well as strength, but all you need to begin with is an open mind and a good attitude- though yoga can help you with these things too!

We do request a health questionnaire is completed prior to attending class. This is so that a program can be created that is acceptable and suitable to you.

How much does a private 1-2-1 session cost?

Prices depend on where we practice. Studio hire can vary depending on the location, but costs are usually in the region of £55 which covers studio hire, an hour and 15 minute class, and equipment.
