1. General questions about classes
What time do I arrive for a yoga class?
Always plan to arrive 10 minutes early. Coming late disturbs others!

Mobile Phones
Remember to switch them off or put on silent!

What to wear?
*   Comfortable clothing that you can easily move in: whether it's stretchy lycra or baggy jogging bottoms the most important thing is that you can move freely in it, won't trip over the trouser bottoms and if you are wearing a baggy t-shirt a top tip is to have a fitted vest-top underneath so that you're not exposed when bending down!
*   Bring a jumper and socks for the final relaxation to ensure warmth and snugness.

What is provided?
Mats, blocks, belts and blankets

What else to bring?
A bottle of water if you get thirsty

Eating before class
Ideally eat 2 hours before class as then the food has digested and you still have energy.  Need an emergency snack before class?!  Then we recommend you eat something easily digestible like a yoghurt, banana.

How to approach your yoga practice
Remember there is NO competition, not even with yourself!  We are all unique and a yoga is a wonderful place to experience your unique perfection, just how you are.  SMILE, RELAX and don't take yourself too seriously...it's meant to be FUN!
