Do I need to bring my own yoga mat?

Yes. As a safety precaution due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, it is essential that you bring your own yoga mat and any props you wish to use during the class.

Do I need to have experience?

Not at all. All classes are designed to be suitable for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced yogis.

What should I wear?

You don’t need any special clothing to practise yoga but it's important to be comfortable. Lightweight, breathable attire that allows for a full range of movement is recommended. We will not require you, or our teaching team to wear masks. However, if you feel more comfortable with a face covering and/or gloves, you are more than welcome to bring your own and wear them during the class.

How long does a class last?

All classes are designed to last 60 minutes from start to finish.

What is the cost of attending a class?

We currently offer 2 price plans. With the 'Pay As You Go' plan you simply pay €12 per class. This is a great option for the infrequent yogi or those who wish to 'try before they buy'. But we also offer a '10 Class Bundle' which incorporates a 20% saving. In other words you get 10 classes for the price of just 8. This option is best suited to students who expect to attend more frequently.

How do I enrol for a class?

We highly recommend that you book online as this is the only way to guarantee your place is kept. We do welcome drop in customers however due to the limited number of places available there may be occasions where we simply cannot accommodate you.

Do you offer 1-to-1 classes?

Unfortunately we do not currently offer 1-to-1 classes. If this is something you are interested in, please let us know.

What styles of yoga do you practise?

All classes are designed to offer a mix of styles suited to the broadest range of experience levels. Classes typically focus on a fusion of gentle Vinyasa flow sequences along with the restorative qualities of Yin yoga.

Can I attend a class if I have a physical injury?

Yoga has long been practised as a form of both prevention and treatment for some types of physical injury. However please remember that it is always your responsibility to be well informed about any injuries you have and seek professional medical advice before practising yoga. Even if your medical practitioner has prescribed yoga as a form of treatment, it is very important to make your teacher aware of any physical conditions prior to taking part in a yoga class.
