Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits?


There are plenty, but basically Yoga tones the muscles, strengthens and invigorates the whole system of the body and relaxes the mind and body.  You will be encouraged to learn focus, mindfulness and positive thinking.


Do I need any special equipment?

It's best to have your own mat, but I have some spare ones. Also Yoga blocks and a belt are very useful but you can get them later. It's nice to have a blanket to help with some postures and for relaxation. Clothing should be loose or stretchy so you're not restricted.

I'm a beginner, can I join in?


You are welcome.  Yoga is not competitive, postures can be moderated for you and you can have extra time to rest. You must listen to your body and not overdo it as with any new exercise regime.


Why can't I just do it at home from a video or book?

Until you are familiar with the postures you can't be sure you are doing them correctly. In class you will be given help and guidance.  

Can I eat before the class?

Leave at least an hour after a light snack, 4 hours after a heavy meal.

Is it a mixed class?

Yes men and women of all ages are welcome.

Can I do it if I have any health or joint problems?

I will give you a questionnaire so that I'll be aware of any problems so postures can be adjusted accordingly. You should consult your doctor first and not do anything that causes you pain.
