Good to know

What should I bring?

Water and something comfortable to move in. We provide mats, blocks, straps and blankets. Showers are free for members and trial guests.

I've never done yoga. Is that okay?

Yes. Choose Beginner Basics, or tell us in the form and we'll point you to the right class. Every teacher offers a gentler option for each pose.

Can I practice with an injury?

Usually, with some changes. Tell the teacher before class starts, or note it in the form, and we'll suggest a class and adjust the poses.

What if I need to cancel?

Cancel up to four hours before class and your credit comes back. Later than that, the class counts as used.
