• Q: I have health issues- will that be a concern? A: it's best to check with your GP first that you are ok to attend. I ask all students to fiill out a Registration Form before enroling. There are a few serious health issues that would prevent a student attending classes.
• Q: What do I wear to class?  A: loose, comfortable layers you can easily move in - leggings, tee/top, shorts for men.

• Q: Can I drink water in class?  A: It's best not to, plus yoga is unlike other classes where you need constant hydration.
• Q: What about food?  A: energy is needed in the body, but please don't eat a heavy meal for 4 hours before class or a light snack one hour.  A simple snack like nuts/seeds or a    banana won't clog you up and will release energy slowly.
