FAQ’s
General
-
No, my classes are open to all levels, from complete beginners to seasoned practitioners.
-
For Meditation
Most clothing is suitable, although the more comfortable the better. You may like to have a layer, such as a jumper, shawl or blanket, as the body temperature tends to drop when sitting still.
For Yoga
Comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and stretch. Some people wear baggy, loose fitting bottoms and a t-shirt. Others prefer form-fitting stretchy leggings and tops.
As you move through a class you can get warm and sweat so it’s good to wear clothes that keep you cool. Yoga is normally done barefoot, but socks can be worn for the relaxation phase at the end. You might also like to bring a jumper for relaxation, when the body rapidly cools down.
-
Please try to arrive 5- 10 minutes before the start of the class to allow yourself time to settle and relax.
In-person
-
Yoga
It is not necessary to have a dedicated gym/fitness area. Mat-based yoga sessions can take place in any room with clear floorspace, adequate for the number of participants and their mats. You will ideally need about 1.5m x 2.2m of space per person.
A location that allows participants some privacy, and where they will not be reminded of their inbox/phone/to-do list is preferable.
A boardroom, meeting room, canteen or courtyard can all make suitable settings. I am happy to discuss and help you find the best option.
Meditation
It is beneficial to encourage people to step away from their desks for meditation sessions. Somewhere with chairs and where participants will not be disturbed is preferable. A meeting room, board room, or similar quiet space are all ideal locations.
Offsite
I can lead group sessions and corporate events in marquees, event spaces, hotels, rooftops, parks and more. I can also help source the right indoor or outdoor venue for your event. Contact me to discuss.
