Sunday Service: in celebration of Sangha

See our booking system for the weekly class info; who’s teaching and what practice they’ll be sharing.

FAQs

Yes! In fact you are a perfect candidate! Many people think that they need to be flexible to begin yoga, but that’s a little bit like thinking you need to be able to play piano in order to take piano lessons. Come as you are and you will find that a class will help you become more flexible. This newfound agility will be balanced by strength, coordination as well as a sense of physical confidence and overall wellbeing.

Firstly, welcome! You’re in good hands with all of our teachers and we love helping new Yogis start on their journey. Our class descriptions detail whether the class is suitable for beginners or not, but we often find beginners in all classes across the timetable!
We recommend you choose a class that excites you and fits in with your schedule, then just come and give it a go! All of our teachers are super-welcoming and will encourage you to move at your own pace whilst listening to your body. If, at any point you wish to take a break or pause - do it! It’s your class and we want you to get the most out of it.
We also host 4-6 week ‘beginners courses,’ specifically aimed at those people who have never stepped on a mat before. Keep your eyes peeled on our workshops page for more information.

There’s a 24-hour cancellation policy for all classes. If you need to cancel within 24 hours, we will not be able to issue a refund or transfer for your class unless we can fill the space.
-
Just bring yourself, in appropriate clothing (see below), and maybe a small bottle of water. If you like to use your own mat and props, feel free to bring them too but we have plenty available.
-
Some people wear baggy, loose fitting bottoms or shorts and a t shirt. Other people wear tight, stretchy leggings + a top. The only thing that matters is that you wear comfortable clothes that you can easily move and stretch in. It's good to have clothes that keep you cool when you are active in yoga, but bring a jumper for relaxation, when the body rapidly cools down. Some people also bring socks and maybe even a blanket for relaxation.
-
Ideally, please arrive a few minutes before the class starts to settle in and prepare. We understand things happen, and sometimes people are late; quietly enter the class so as not to disturb others.
If the coffee house is not open when a class is taking place, it’s highly likely the front door will be locked and access at this time will be unavailable.
The front door is locked a couple of minutes before a class begins promptly so please leave plenty of time to get here, park and roll out your mat.
If you miss a class due to lateness, no refund will be given.
-
When it comes to food and digestion, everyone is different and so there’s no straight answer for this. In general, it’s not recommend eating a large meal within 2 hours of the class start time - if you must eat within 2 hours, then a light meal or snack that is easily digested is best. It’s recommended to be hydrated before a class so drink some water.
-
Congratulations! If you are new to yoga your only option is to attend our pregnancy yoga courses/workshops; start dates vary for the courses so, please check the class schedule for upcoming sessions.
If you are a seasoned Yogi, or have done Yoga previously whilst pregnant, please speak to the relevant teacher before booking on to other weekly classes on the timetable.
