FAQs

I'm not flexible – can I do yoga?

Yes! In fact you are a perfect candidate. You will find that practising yoga will help you to become more flexible.

Can beginners attend?

Yes, you’ll be given step-by-step instructions so you can join in with confidence at the level that’s right for you and gradually build up your practice. The Monday and Friday mixed-ability classes are both suitable for beginners. Thursday classes are aimed at people with some experience of yoga but may still be suitable if you don't have any health issues or injuries.

What type of yoga is it?

Hatha yoga, which includes moving the body into different postures (seated, standing and lying), simple breathing exercises and relaxation techniques. Everyone’s body has different strengths and limitations, so the aim is to offer accessible, enjoyable sessions adapted to suit individual needs and abilities.

What should I wear?

Any comfortable clothes that won’t restrict your movement e.g. gym clothes or a T-shirt with leggings or shorts. Avoid a baggy top because it may ride up.

What should I bring?

Your yoga mat is the only essential item. You can also bring any other yoga equipment you have (e.g. blocks, straps) and a blanket or warm clothing for relaxation. You may want to bring a drink but should avoid eating during or less than an hour before class.

Do I need to book?

Please contact Katie before attending your first class to sign up and complete a confidential health questionnaire. Once you’ve signed up, you’re welcome to come along whenever you can.

What time should I get there?

Please arrive around 5–10 minutes before class starts, if possible, to get settled. Sessions sometimes run a few minutes over to allow a full relaxation.

Can I practise yoga with an injury?

This depends on the injury and should be discussed on an individual basis – please ask about any new issues or injuries at the beginning of each class.
