FAQ's
First Timers
What do I need to know for my first class?
Studio doors open 15 mins prior to class start time. Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your first class begins so you’ll have time to familiarise yourself with the studio, fill out a registration form and meet your teacher. We provide mats, props & a filtered tap, so bring a towel, drink bottle, and sense of adventure. No mobile phones during classes. Mobile phones to be left on silent in reception area. (please be respectful to others).
What class should I start with?
If you are brand new to yoga, we recommend starting with at least a few Slow Flow classes, which move at a slower pace, cover the foundations of alignment in the body for safety, and teach mindful breath awareness. Once you feel up for a challenge, feel free to join our Dynamic Flow classes. We always welcome our students to modify for how they’re feeling on the day, so jump on in for any class but take a rest whenever you need. Yin classes, with long restorative holds, are also open to all levels.
I have never done yoga before, can I go to a group class or should I do a private session first?
Most new students feel alright attending a Slow Flow or Yin classes, as you’re welcome to modify poses to suit how you’re feeling on the day. There is something in each pose for everyone, and you do not need to be flexible or strong to practice yoga. If you are pregnant, have chronic pain or are coming back from an injury, a one-on-one session might be best to assess your situation. Always communicate injuries or concerns with your teacher. We do, however, reserve the right to restrict clients to a particular class type for safety reasons if necessary.
What are the benefits of a heated room?
Our studio uses Far Infrared (FIR) heating panels and continuous ventilation to balance the heat with fresh air so you feel energised rather than depleted. The heat aids in warming up the muscles and joints and increases synovial fluid to lubricate the body, creating more mobility in the muscles and joints to safely deepen your practice and detox your body. Our studio is heated to 30 degrees for all flow classes and 26 degrees for Yin.
What should I wear to class?
Our yoga classes are an opportunity to really move and stretch your body, so wear something to feel comfortable and allow mobility. You will most likely sweat, so wear something breathable and moisture-wicking. Yin yoga is more mellow, so feel free to wear something comfortable that allows movement and ease for long holds. We recommend gym tights, leggings or shorts and either a t-shirt or singlet top.
What facilities do you offer?
For your convenience, we offer studio mats, blocks and bolsters. We offer a filtered water tap, changing rooms with showers on site, and towels are available to hire for a small fee.

Can I susped or extend my class pack?
We’ve designed our class packs to have a validity that will both give you motivation to use your passes, and plenty of wiggle room for life. We do not allow suspensions or extensions on your Introductory Offer (14 days) or session packs (3 or 6 months) unless you are injured, in which case we will ask for a medical certificate from your doctor. Please be aware when purchasing your Introductory Offer or session packs that you will be required to use your pass within 14 days, 3 or 6 months, respectively. Any unused sessions will expire.
