Bring clothes that are comfortable and easy to move in. Use layers so that you can strip down to lightweight comfortable clothing to move freely. The class is held in a warm room that will support the body heat you will produce.

Don’t eat for two hours prior to class. This allows your digestive system to rest and means you will fully benefit from the practice.

You do not have to be flexible or in good shape to start practising yoga.

Practice will help you regain youthfulness, improve libido, reduce unneeded weight, repair or manage injuries to your body, and improve your balance, flexibility and muscle tone as well as developing awareness, peace and focus of mind. You don’t need these things to begin, because these are the things you get through developing a personal yoga practice.

Practice will benefit everyone and can be started at any age from 12 years of age.
