Everything you need to know before your first visit.
Feeling nervous is normal. This page will show you exactly what happens, from booking to leaving the studio.
You do not need experience, flexibility or special equipment. You will be OK.

The first thing most people notice is that nobody’s performing. Reception is calm, not staged. A regular might be telling their teacher about their week. Someone’s rolling out a mat they’ve never used before and trying to look like they know what they’re doing. It’s a room where both of those things are equally fine. See the studio →
Before You Arrive
There’s nothing complicated to prepare. Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move easily. Bring a bottle of water if you’d like. If you have your own mat, you’re welcome to bring it. If you don’t, we’ll happily provide everything you need.
The hardest part is usually deciding to come. Everything after that becomes much easier.
When You Arrive
We always recommend arriving a little early. It gives you time to settle in, meet your teacher and become familiar with the space without feeling rushed. You’ll be greeted warmly. If it’s your first visit, simply let us know — we’ll show you around, answer any questions and help you feel completely at home.
During Class
Nobody in the room is thinking about you as much as you think they are — they’re thinking about their own practice. The teacher might offer an adjustment or suggest a modification; that’s not correction, it’s guidance. First class or fiftieth, the job is just to be there. Rest whenever you need to. Ask questions whenever you’re unsure. The most important thing is simply being there.
Afterwards
Many people stay for a chat after class. Some head home feeling lighter than when they arrived. Others enjoy a cup of tea and a conversation. Friendships often begin here. There is never any pressure — only an open invitation.
