studio questions
NEW TO YOGA or pilates?
-
For your first class, come 10—15 minutes early so you can settle in to the space and ask any questions of your teacher.
Our classes start at their scheduled time and the doors will be closed to prevent disruption to the class. -
We recommend wearing something light and fitted such as shorts or leggings, singlet tops or gym wear. Please avoid sweats, track pants, and heavy t-shirts as we heat the room for Foundations, Vinyasa Flow and Power Vinyasa classes.
Bring a change of clothing and a towel for a shower if you wish, or you can rent one at the studio.For reformer Pilates you’ll need grip socks. Don’t have any? You can buy them at the front desk.
-
If you’re new to yoga or it’s been some time since you practiced regularly, we recommend starting with our Foundations class. These classes run at a slower and cooler pace focused on teaching foundations of yoga with lots of guidance and feedback.
This is great for people new to yoga and anyone looking to improve their practice - no less of a challenge and a great first base to jump into a regular practice from.
Yin classes are also suitable for beginners. However, if you’re fit and healthy and new to yoga you can jump into an open class and just do your best, keep an open mind and sense of adventure.Pilates Reformer requires familiarity with the equipment, we recommend you start with Beginner classes if you haven't done reformer before. There are also Open Level classes you can join with modifications as required, your teacher will guide you.
Mat Pilates is suitable for all levels.
-
If you already have an established yoga or pilates practice, and your doctor has given you the green light to continue, and as long as you have no medical conditions that will be exacerbated by yoga, you are welcome to join any of our regular classes. For yoga, we specifically recommend our Yin or Foundations classes, for Pilates all of our class styles are suitable, relevant to your own level of fitness. Please ensure to inform your teacher about your pregnancy so they can suggest appropriate modifications.
We’re excited to be part of your journey and are here to help in any way we can. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or if you need further assistance.
