FAQs
Do I need to be flexible to do Yoga?
No, absolutely not. This is something that comes in time and with lots of practice. Just like when you join a gym to get fit. WE are all on a different journey and we all move differently - this is what makes us individual.
Do I have to have my own mat and other props for Yoga?
We encourage this at this time due to Covid19. Outside of this then we would supply them. We do have a limited number of Yoga Mats available should you need to borrow one. You can also purchase one at reception.
What do I wear for Yoga?
Whatever you are comfortable in. We recommend loose clothing. Something like a loose t-shirt and joggers, No trainers are allowed in the Yoga hall so you will be barefoot or you can wear Yoga socks ( the ones with grippy bottoms)
I have a bad back or other complaint or injury, can I attend a class?
Yes! Depending on the severity we encourage everyone to come to Yoga with such complaints as this has been proven to help. We will always ask if anyone has any injuries or other health issues before the class starts. We always recommend that you consult with your doctor before any such activity.
Is Yoga age restricted?
No anyone, any age can practice Yoga. I have practiced with children and older people - Yoga is something for everyone
What else should I bring to my Yoga class?
Water to keep you hydrated and a towel to wipe your brow ( should you need it )
I have never done Yoga before and I am very nervous about coming on my own..can I come to reception before my class?
I would always encourage anyone that is coming for their first Yoga class to drop us a quick email to let us know. We will welcome you in to the building and settle you into the Yoga room before your class
Can I wear my glasses during Yoga?
Yes! The only time we would encourage the removal of your glasses is at the end of the class, where we have a completely relaxing few minutes, this is called 'Shavasana'.
What is the best class to start with ?
In my experience the best type to start with is 'Hatha' Yoga. Its a much slower type and one that allows you to really connect with your breath. The poses can be adapted to help any level.
