FAQ

This is one of the best reasons to get started with a yoga practice. Everyone has tightness in their body or mind where they can create more flexibility.

All levels are welcome to attend any of our classes. We suggest having a look at the class description and finding a class that suits your needs. We recommend starting with a warm foundations or hatha class.

If it's your first time in a yoga class, check out at least 3-4 classes before deciding whether yoga is right for you or not. There are so many styles of yoga and teachers with very different personalities, it's definitely worth trying more than 2 classes out.

Although many forms of exercise provide a wonderful physical workout, yoga can be a therapeutic system that helps heal injuries, improve chronic illness, and balance mental stress. It's a great way to complement your current workout routine, even if it's just once a week. You'll see the benefits with a consistent practice.

Yes, please! It is important to book your class in advance to ensure you get into class, while we are accepting drop-ins, there are some class times where we lock the door upon class starting, so if you're not pre-booked, we may lock the doors early if everyone on our roster has arrived.

Please be inside the studio 5-10 minutes before class start time.

Note that doors may be locked at class start time so please make sure you do not arrive late, we won't be able to let you in!

The more you come, the less it costs! We do have a variety of membership options for you to choose from. If you're not sure what makes sense for you, book a call with us, we'd love to provide the best option for your needs.

It's definitely okay to eat, you know your body best.

Having said that, it's not advisable to eat a huge meal right before class. If you need some energy and haven't eaten all day, try for lighter fare. If you're eating a larger meal, give yourself 2-3 hours to digest, especially before attending a hot flow class. The heat makes for unpleasant full belly grumbles. 

Please stay home! Feeling sick is our body’s way of telling us that something is wrong and that we may need to slow down. A regular Yoga practice strengthens the immune system and helps to fend off colds and flu, but once you are already sick it is important to rest, drink plenty of fluids and only practice very gentle yoga poses at home. There's no such thing as "sweating it out," you end up just dehydrating yourself. 

You will need a yoga mat, towel or yoga towel (if you're coming to hot yoga or sweat lots or both...), and a water bottle.

To really get the most out of your yoga practice, we recommend coming 2-3 times per week, of course, more if your schedule allows, but if you're just starting 2-3 times would help you start to see the benefits begin to take effect over the course of a few months. 

Maybe. It all depends on what the injury is and how much or how little you can work with it. You can call, text or email us and check in to see. If you're coming, always let your teacher know what's up. This way they can offer modifications to alleviate any stressors or pain.

We have change rooms as well as small lockers available to lock up valuables. We have locks available for you to borrow or you can bring your own lock.

Please don't forget your lock, we do cut them if they are not claimed.

Yes! Consider chatting to your healthcare provider in case of anything you should be aware of.

But practising yoga is a great way to connect with yourself and your changing body as you grow.

We recommend any non-heated classes or check out our prenatal classes to really find a practice that centres around your growing belly bump.
