What type of Yoga are you teaching?
Hatha Yoga: Hatha yoga is a traditional and foundational style of yoga that focuses on the physical postures (asanas) and breath control (pranayama) to promote physical and mental balance. The word "hatha" is derived from two Sanskrit words: "ha," which means sun, and "tha," which means moon. Hatha yoga aims to bring balance and harmony between the opposing forces of the sun (representing energy and activity) and the moon (representing stillness and receptivity) within the individual.
​
Vinyasa Yoga: Vinyasa yoga is a dynamic and popular style of yoga that emphasizes the coordination of breath with movement. In Sanskrit, "vinyasa" means "to place in a special way," and in the context of yoga, it refers to the intentional linking of breath to a series of flowing yoga postures or asanas. Vinyasa yoga is often described as a flowing, rhythmic, and creative practice that offers a continuous and smooth transition between poses.
​
Power Yoga: Power yoga is a dynamic and modern style of yoga that blends traditional yoga postures (asanas) with elements of strength training, cardiovascular exercise, and intense physical movement. This style of yoga is often characterized by its energetic and challenging nature, making it a popular choice for those seeking a vigorous and fitness-focused yoga practice.
​
Restorative Yoga: Restorative yoga is a gentle and therapeutic style of yoga that focuses on relaxation, deep rest, and rejuvenation. Unlike more physically active forms of yoga, restorative yoga is designed to help practitioners unwind, release tension, and promote profound relaxation by using props and holding poses for an extended period of time. It is often referred to as "active relaxation" because it requires conscious relaxation efforts.
Should I book online or can I just turn up?
Booking online is the easiest way to secure your spot. Classes are capped to maintain a safe space and ensure that everyone gets the best training session possible. The online booking system also makes it simple to pay, track, and cancel or reschedule your bookings. However, if you do decide to just turn up, and there is enough room, you'll always be welcome to join in.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule my booking?
Please cancel or reschedule your booking if you can't attend a class. This benefits everyone. It frees up spots for those on the waiting list and helps me plan the best training session possible. As long as you cancel or reschedule no later than 2 hours before the class starting then there's no penalty. Go to My Bookings in your account to make changes.
What should I bring to class?
You'll need comfortable active-style attire, and towel, plenty of water. If you have a yoga mat, feel free to bring it, however we have some you can borrow for class.
What is the minimum age?
Usually, the minimum age is 16 years old. However, younger participants may be accepted on a case by case basis depending on their aptitude, fitness level and prior experience.
