MYTH #1:

This is something that worries lots of newbies! No, you don’t have to be flexible to start a yoga practice! The beauty is that once you start, your flexibility will increase gradually with a regular practice – improving mobility, posture, and muscle coordination.
One of the best things about Yoga is that ANYONE can practise and benefit from it – no matter how flexible you are, what size you are, what race, what gender, or what religion.
MYTH #2:
YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GO UPSIDE DOWN
When you are new Yoga, your might be intimidated by the inversions, but rest assured, Yoga is about the connection between your mind and body. Inversions are not the be all and end all to a practice.

There are many different styles of Yoga to try in order to find which styles suits you and gives you what you need from your practice.

What is a "Foundations" class?
A small amount of philosophy about the history of yoga and what yoga actually is will be woven into the hour. As will a more workshop style of slower teaching alongside some movement based flow to always keep you warm. Expect a strong focus and clear explanation of these three foundational aspects of yoga, Ujjayi Breath = Conscious Breathing, Bandhas = Energy Locks in the body and Vinyasa Flow = Movement and Alignment while breathing.
More Foundations is more than just a beginners yoga class. This specifically designed session has also been geared towards those wanting to return after pregnancy, going back to basics after time out or simply slow down the pace of a session while also still applying and incorporating some of the key foundations of a regular Vinyasa Flow class.
Perfect for beginners, however available for everyone and especially those hungry to know more!
What should I wear?
Wear whatever you are comfortable moving in. You don’t need any special brand of clothing or any equipment. Just come as yourself! Shoes aren’t necessary for yoga and you will need to take them off when you arrive. Most people prefer to be barefoot on their mat but if you prefer to wear grippy socks you can bring those along. We have changing rooms & cubby holes for you to leave your belongings in and you won’t need a padlock. Don’t worry the studio is locked during class.
