FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
 
DO I NEED TO BOOK IN ADVANCE?
Yes please! All class purchases and registrations must be made in advance through our website.

WHAT TO WEAR?
We recommend shorts (with nets!) for men, and a t-shirt or vest. Women should wear gym kit – legging/shorts and vest top.

I HAVE NEVER DONE YOGA BEFORE, WHAT CLASS DO I START WITH?
If you are a beginner or feel that your level of fitness is not where it should be yet, we would recommend our Hatha for All and Hatha Deep Stretch classes as well as our Yin classes. These are gentle classes that will allow you to ease into it, after that you could try Hot Yoga or Vinyasa which are more dynamic and much more challenging. 

DO YOU PROVIDE MATS?
Yes, mats are provided – you’re welcome to bring your own, just be sure to bring a towel to lay on your mat and a drink. 

DO YOU HAVE SHOWERS?
We have a changing area but no shower facilities unfortunately.

SHOULD I EAT BEFORE HAND?
Try not to eat within an hour before class.

WHY YOGA?
The physical and mental benefits of Yoga are innumerable. Aside from a challenging workout, yogi’s seek to balance the body and mind through physical exercises and controlled breathing. Introducing meditative practices helps us release stress and anxiety, promoting clarity of mind, better focus and increased energy and alertness. It’s about an all round greater sense of well being.

I’VE NEVER DONE HOT YOGA BEFORE, WILL I BE OK?
You will be absolutely fine! Just let the teacher know it’s your first lesson, take the class at your own pace and remember you can take a restorative pose and return to your breath whenever you need.

WHY HOT?
The 37 degree heat makes the heart and lungs work a little harder – helping you burn more calories, and giving you a great cardio workout. Warmth also increases flexibility – easing joints and muscles and helping prevent injury. Sweating also helps us eliminate toxins, cleansing the body.

CAN I DO HOT YOGA WHILE PREGNANT?
Unfortunately not. The heat makes it quite high exertion and raises the body temperature – both not entirely safe when pregnant. So, we recommend our pregnancy yoga class with Jo and then come to our Hot Yoga class after the baby’s born!

IS THERE PARKING?
If you arrive by car there is plenty of safe, off street parking on the right as you drive into the Coopers Hill Farm entrance.
