VIRTUAL CLASSES
Book a Virtual class on our timetable and receive a email link to join. All you need is enough room to move and a good internet connection, and you’re ready to roll.
READY TO START?
Arrive hydrated, with an empty stomach, this is the most comfortable and beneficial way to practice. Aim to arrive 15 minutes before class to give yourself time orientate, acclimatise, turn off your phone, set up your mat and relax.
STIFF, INJURED, IN PAIN?
We can help you get moving again, a millimetre at a time. The Bikram method in particular was created for people with chronic pain and ailments. The sequence is specifically designed to provide an effective healing practice. Gentle stretching provides the circulation and nourishment the whole body requires for healing. *Please inform your teacher of existing injuries or health problems before you begin, we’ll ensure you practice safely. If you have any questions please email us.
PRE – POST NATAL
Our Vinyasa class on a Saturday morning at 9.30 am is a slow flow that allows for nurturing modifications for expecting Mum’s. The Bikram Beginners class has a specific pre-natal sequence that can be practiced within a regular class and is available to regular practitioners (6 months or more practice prior to conception). We recommend starting after the first trimester and working with one of our teachers to learn the modifications necessary to join the regular class. All classes are great for post natal, please check with your doctor before starting.
YOUTH
Yoga is becoming increasingly popular in schools with studies demonstrating that it can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood imbalances. It also improves posture, increases strength, flexibility, coordination and balance. Youth aged between 12 – 17 are welcome to attend all of our classes. Students require their own profile when booking a class plus an email from their parent or guardian with permission to attend.

WHAT TO WEAR

Yin & Vinyasa
- Wear comfortable clothes you can move in including a long sleeved layer or blanket for Yin.
DURING CLASS
Pace yourself, just do the best you can without straining or holding your breath. Practice without expectation or judgement. You can sit down and take a break whenever you need to. You don’t have to ‘win’ yoga, there’s no one to compete with but yourself.
AFTER CLASS
When practicing in a hot room you may need to take electrolytes to replace the calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium the body loses through sweat. You can take electrolytes before class as well, find what suits you best. Magnesium is also absorbed through the skin so we highly recommend taking a float with our friends in the next room @liquidzen.
Take your second class within 24 hours to bypass muscle soreness.
We recommend practicing 3 or more times a week in the beginning, so you can see what the yoga has to offer you.
