All equipment is provided

Yoga Mats are supplied for your practise. If you would rather experience more padding on the floor then please feel free to bring your own mat and place it over the one supplied. Pillows and blankets are supplied for relaxation, meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises). Blocks and straps are supplied to assist you in your asana work (postures).

What to wear

Comfy long pants and a t-shirt. Nothing too restrictive or too tight fitting. Ladies please wear bras that are not underwired or tight in any way, because they can cause restriction when doing postures or breathing exercises. Please avoid jeans. During practise it is advisable to remove all jewellery so there are no restrictions to movement or damage to precious rings or necklaces. If you have valuable jewellery better to leave them at home.

General things to be aware of

Yoga requires you to sit and lie on the floor during class, so if you have trouble getting up or down from the floor, you can use a chair depending on your circumstances. Please call to chat through your requirements.

Please come along 5 mins before the class starts, as we like to start on time and also to ensure you get a good place.

Classes run on Friday mornings at Old Coulsdon Bowling Club. Please contact Gina on 07771977090 to find out more and book a place.
