Can I start the Foundations Course if I have an injury?

The Foundations Course is designed for students who are generally well and do not present with chronic injuries or illness. Stiffness is not a problem, nor are injuries which still allow you to move freely – just be sure to advise your teacher of any problems you are facing.

What equipment do I need to bring to a yoga class?

Just bring yourself. We provide all you need in a yoga class however you are certainly more than welcome to bring your own mat if you prefer.

Do you have change rooms?

Yes. We have change rooms and a bathroom.

I have an injury or illness but I really want to start yoga – what should I do?

Book in to our Yoga Therapy class. For those keen to start yoga who do suffer from serious injury or illness, we suggest our Yoga Therapy class as an ideal place to start. In a Yoga Therapy class you will have the opportunity to receive one-on-one attention and will be able to get the advice that can help you move forward in yoga. Please see our website for more information on Yoga Therapy.

I would like to put a pause on my Direct Debit – how do I do it?

No problem. We can make changes to your Direct Debit payment, such as changing your pass or putting a pause on your payments while are away.

Please note the following updated Terms and Conditions regarding our Direct Debit method of payment.

• You are welcome to suspend your pass if you are going on holiday, travelling for business, or unable to practice due to serious illness or injury. Seven days notice by email prior to any pass suspension date is required.
• There is a minimum suspension period of 2 weeks all pass suspensions must occur in two-week blocks. Due to the fortnightly re-occurrence of payments we are only able to suspend payments for an even number of weeks (2 weeks, 4 weeks, etc)
• If you miss a class you are more than welcome to make-up your classes at a time that suits you. This operates on an honours system but if you are unsure of your attendance record you can use Punchpass to track your attendance. We will no longer be checking attendance records via email.
• Make up classes need to be made up while membership is active.
• For additional classes undertaken which exceed the Pass Limit the cost is $16 payable at the time of class attendance.
• Please note that all our passes allow access to all classes on the timetable excluding the Yoga Therapy class at 4.30pm on Thursday.

Do you have pre-natal classes?

No.  We do not recommend that people start yoga at the Centre once they become pregnant, we do have many pregnant women at the school that have been long term students.

Can I continue with Yoga if I become pregnant?

Yes, existing students who have already developed a relationship with our senior teachers who have the training and experience to guide them in their continued practice of yoga.

If I go on holidays or injure myself, can I pause my membership?

Yes, we simply ask for a minimum 7 days notice in writing for all changes (permanent and temporary) to your pass.
