Beginner Course FAQ

Do I need to bring anything?

No, we have all the equipment at the centre. If you are able to bring your own yoga mat, we encourage students to do so.

What do I wear?

Wear comfortable clothing that you can freely move in.

I have an existing injury. Can I still come?

The Beginners Course follows a set syllabus and there is not the opportunity to teach specifically to individuals with chronic illnesses or injuries. Students that have long term health conditions are encouraged to consider our Yoga Therapy classes and should contact the school prior to enrolling in the Beginners Course.
I’m pregnant, is this course suitable for me?

The Beginners Course is NOT suitable for students who are pregnant. We do not offer Pre-natal classes at the centre. Pregnant Students are encouraged to consider our Yoga Therapy classes.

After the Course is over?

Once you have completed the Course you may be ready to progress to our Foundations Classes. Many students do however find repeating the Course once (or maybe more times) is beneficial as they become more comfortable and able in the foundation poses.

I booked my place in a Course & won’t be able to attend – can I get a refund?

We understand that sometimes life gets in the way and things don’t always go to plan. Please advise us via email as soon as possible if for any reason you are unable to attend the Course you have booked. We are happy to transfer your unused course to another Course. Alternatively, all refunds incur a $30 administration fee.

“I have found the Beginner’s course to be a wonderful introduction and repeating it a perfect way to improve my practice and get the basics consolidated before progressing to general classes.” Alison B
