Yoga New Students Information

New Students

General Information & FAQs

New students are welcome to all my classes. Don’t worry if you’ve never practiced yoga before as everyone was once a beginner and there are always new pupils joining.

If you would like to speak to me about any issue around starting then please feel free to get in touch. If you’re not comfortable to begin in a group class or have personal requirements, you may like to consider having a private lesson instead. 

Before the class

Please try and avoid eating prior to the class.

Medical issues & recent injuries

If you have a recent medical issues or injuries, please let me know. Some problems are best addressed in a private lesson. You can always decide to join group classes once you feel confident and ready.

Pregnancy

It's advisable to attend pregnancy yoga classes during this time. Unfortunately, I don't teach any pregnancy classes at the moment but there are many wonderful pregnancy classes available in Bristol. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to receive some advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What shall I wear to class?

A: Please wear clothes that enable you to freely move in. Leggings/T-shirt etc are ideal. It’s best to practice bare foot so you don’t need to worry about wearing specific type of shoes. Please get changed at home and bring minimum items to the studio.

Q: What shall I bring with me?

A: Please try to bring your own mat and any other equipment you may need. Alternatively there will be some mats and basic equipment for sale in the studio, which can be paid for via the website. If this is not possible, you can use our mats but you will have to clean & dry them thoroughly after class.
