+ DOES IT MATTER IF I'M NOT FLEXIBLE?

If you think you are not very flexible, then a yoga class is just the place to be! You will be in good company. You might see very flexible people in a yoga class and more often than not they will lack strength and that will be their reason for taking up yoga.

+ WHAT IF I CAN'T DO THE EXERCISES?

Choosing the right class for you is important. At Yogaplusphysio, the teachers are very highly trained and are able to make adaptations that will enhance the benefits of the exercises for your particular body. All you need to do is tell us if it doesn’t feel good in your body and we can help you. We are about making it just right for your body. We are very skilled at watching bodies move and will often notice if something doesn’t work for you, but it is good for you to tell us, so we can work together for your benefit. Maybe you need a Physiotherapy consultation? Visit the Physiotherapy page for further information.

+ WHAT TIME SHOULD I COME?

It is best to come 10-15 minutes before your first class and then 10 minutes early thereafter so you can get settled.

+ WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

We work in bare feet. Socks are good for some of the time in winter but are best removed, for safety when doing standing postures. Loose, comfortable gym style clothing is best. If you don’t have any, don’t worry. Just wear something comfortable until you get an idea of what yoga involves. The studio is air conditioned.

+ CAN I CHANGE MY CLOTHES SOMEWHERE?

Yes, there is a toilet downstairs. Please allow time for this so you are ready to start on time.

+ IS THERE A SHOWER?

Unfortunately, no.

+ DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING ELSE?

There are plenty of mats in the studio. You can bring your own mat to put it on our mats for hygiene reasons or to make it softer for your knees. All mats are cleaned by yoga students after each session. It is also good to bring a water bottle for some sips of water from time to time. If you perspire a lot it is a good idea to bring a small towel.

+ SHOULD I EAT BEFORE YOGA?

You shouldn’t eat a big meal immediately before a class as your body needs time to start digesting your meal. Eating a meal two hours before a class is ideal. A small snack is good as it gives you some energy to help you during the class. It is important that you don’t come to yoga feeling hungry.
