Do I need a mat or any equipment?

Accepted Answer

We recommend you bring your own yoga mat to class if you have one. Some spare mats are available at the studio for use.
The studio has a supply of yoga blocks, bolsters and some blankets for use.

Occasionally we stock durable good quality and grippy yoga mats for sale.

A yoga mat, yoga block, a yoga bolster and a blanket.

Question 2

What should I bring and what should I wear?

Accepted Answer

You will need a bottle of water and a hand towel may be of benefit to you, too.

Wear comfortable gym type clothing that is breathable and comfortable to move in. In cooler months, you may wish to wear a few layers that you can take off as you warm up and put back on during Savasana (meditation and relaxation).

*Please don't bring your phone onto the studio practice floor once class begins. *And please turn off smart/fitness watches. (If you are a medical professional on call, then we will make exceptions but please advise us prior to class).
With most of your days spent in front of a screen, you deserve some time to yourself with no notifications and distractions  :)

Where are you located? And where can I park?

Accepted Answer

We are located in the commercial precinct in Thirlmere, across from Thirlmere Primary School and the tennis courts, next to the Vet and Hairdresser.
 
Plenty of parking is available on Oaks St in front of the tennis courts, and also behind the building. Parking on the street is limited.

Question 5

What's your policy on phones and smart watches?

Accepted Answer

Please don't bring your phone onto the studio practice floor once class begins. And please turn off smart/fitness watches.

(If you are a medical professional on call, then we will make exceptions but please advise us prior to class).

Your electronic devices are at risk of impact, should someone accidentally step or fall on your phone.

The buzzing of a phone and a lit up phone screen are distractions to you and the people around you.

And most importantly - With most of your days spent in front of a screen, you deserve some time to yourself with no notifications  :)

Thank you for co-creating a soothing and supportive environment in our studio.

I'm pregnant, can I attend classes?

Pilates mat classes: 1 hour
 
All other Yoga classes: Range from 1 hr to 75 mins

Question 9

What time should I arrive to class?

Accepted Answer

Studio doors unlock 15 mins prior to class start time. 
 
If it's your first time at the studio, please aim to arrive 10 mins prior to start time, so that you can fill a registration form and speak to the instructor about any questions or special requirements.
 
If you have attended before, please aim for 10-15 mins prior to the class start time so that you arrive in a more relaxed state and can settle in.
 
If you notice the chalkboard sign on the door turned to "Please don't enter, class and meditation in progress", this is due to an earlier class still running. Please be considerate of other students during relaxation and meditation and wait outside quietly before the instructor opens the doors. Thank you.
