Where to start….
We understand that choosing your first Yoga class can be pretty daunting, with all those fancy names for various styles of Yoga it can be hard to know where to start. So we thought we would give you a little break down with a few examples to help you choose the class best suited to you. Scroll down below our FAQs to find out where to start.
What to wear....
Comfy clothes is key, anything you feel comfortable in and can move around freely in. Leggings, Jogging bottoms and shorts are all a good option. We have a changing room and toilets here at the studio so feel free to change when you arrive.
What time shall I arrive...
We recommend arriving 5-10 minutes early for your first class, this gives you an opportunity for you to meet your teacher. We are always here to answer any questions and help you feel supported for your class and your ongoing Yoga journey.
What to bring...
Some people like to bring a water bottle. This is not essential as we have water available at the studio. We recommend coming hydrated and preferably not eating 2 hours before your practice. It is always ideal to practise on a empty stomach.
How to book...
We use the online booking system to make your yoga experience run smooth. Our classes can get busy so we highly recommend booking in advance.

FAQs
“I am completely new to Yoga, I have limited flexibility and I do very little exercise”
Don't worry, Yoga is a great way to gradually get your body moving and help you gain more energy. It is a common misconception that you need to be flexible to do yoga, Yoga is the best thing for your inflexibility.
We recommend Beginners Yoga, Slow flow, Hatha Yoga and Yin yoga for you.
Our Beginners yoga, Slow flow and Hatha yoga classes are at a steady pace, giving you the chance to settle in and learn the postures safely, with a group of people new to yoga just like you.
