Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need to bring your own mat?
Yes, please, for hot yoga, but optional for all other classes! We have mats for yoga & fitness classes here, or if you prefer, please bring your own mat. We hire a mat + towel (£3) for hot yoga so that we can factor in washing after every use. We also sell mats for yoga & towels to use on your mat to help with sweat and slipping for hot yoga.
Can I shower after Hot Yoga?
Yes, you can book the shower for after your class. We are a small studio and only have one bathroom/shower, so booking means you know it is all yours after class.
Acclimatisation to the heat
It’s important to adjust to the heat; hot yoga is 38 degrees & warm yoga is 33 degrees. After approximately 4/6 classes, your body will feel more acclimatised and sweating may reduce. If you have never tried Hot Yoga, maybe try Warm Yoga first and see if you like it!
What to wear
Men typically wear shorts & a vest; it's ok to have your top off in Hot Yoga. For ladies (and/or men) fitted stretchy lycra is more comfortable in the heat; for Vinyasa, it's good to know you may go upside down, in which case it's good to go for fitted clothes too. In other classes it's regular gym/pilates/yoga wear.
Booking is first-come, first-served
You can see how many people are booked in each class when booking. We are a small studio, which means we need to run a tight ship to make bookings open to all. We have clear, respectful guidelines and ask that you stick to them so that you can all access classes.
*Memberships have priority booking as we match your commitment to us
Cancellations
Please give at least 4 hours' notice for class cancellation; this is generous as often the window is 6 hours. If you don’t comply, your booking is non-refundable, so you will either forfeit the class, a credit on your pack or incur a cancellation fee (Memberships have a £5 late cancellation fee). We have a fairness policy in place to make it work for all; please note the rules!
Event Cancellations For Sound Baths
24-hour cancellation applies as we set the room ready for your arrival and prepare Cacao etc. Please check each event for T&Cs when booking, as they may be different each time.
Class Waitlists
If you add your name to the waitlist, you will be automatically booked into class and sent email confirmation if a space becomes available, so keep a lookout as the cancellation window still applies! If a space comes up after the 4-hour cancellation window, everyone on the waitlist will be sent a text telling you a space has come up with the option to follow the booking link to book. This is first come, first served.
