FAQs

Unless otherwise specified my classes are suitable for different levels of experience from beginner to more experienced but are not recommended for complete beginners, some knowledge of Yoga postures and breathing, however 'rusty' or little, is needed.  

 If you have not practised with me before please get in touch prior to booking. If you have not done Yoga before please contact me and we can discuss the most suitable class or another teacher/class   

Yoga Nidra classes and meditation is open to everyone  

In person- A Yoga mat is a good starting point. A Yoga block, brick or blanket can be useful too and I have a few of these available and if I am teaching in collaboration with a studio they will have plenty!  

Online .We have compiled a list of alternatives to regular Yoga props if you don’t have any and that can be found here 

For Yoga Nidra and meditation it is a good idea to have a bolster or bolster alternative 

Wear loose fitting, easy-to-move-and-stretch in clothes. Also something warm for relaxation time i.e. socks and a fleece. I recommend you wear "layers" For Yoga Nidraitsgood to have a blanket/ shawl for covering the body and something like an eye pillow to cover your eyes

Avoid a heavy meal prior to Yoga practice and do not eat anything for at least one to two hours prior to practice. If this is not practical (especially in the case of pregnant women) please try and eat only something light- only a small amount of food that is easily digestible.

If you are booking a course you are required to fill out health/medical information when booking. However, if you are trying a class or are a drop-in student please inform me/your teacher if you suffer from very high blood pressure, heart disease, retinal problems, epilepsy, have a joint replacement or recently undergone any major surgery, it is always wise to consult your doctor prior to beginning a Yoga programme. If you are menstruating heavily it is recommended that you avoid inverted postures, please refer to your teacher.

If you find that you cannot attend a class that you have booked, it is helpful if we know in advance that you are not coming so please let us know.

Listen to your own body-don't force yourself into any of the postures or force your breath-relax and enjoy.
