Before you begin

Questions answered

If you don't see your question here, call us or drop into the studio on Cuba Street.

Do I need to be fit or flexible to start?

No. Our beginners course and yin classes are built for people starting from nothing. Come as you are and let the practice meet you where you are.

What happens during my trial?

You practice a full class alongside our regular students, with hands-on guidance from the teacher. See the memberships and start your trial at /join.

What's the difference between the membership options?

Unlimited monthly, Eight classes a month and the Ten-class pass suit different rhythms of practice. See the memberships for full detail at /join.

Why are classes capped at eighteen mats?

So every student gets hands-on adjustments, not just a cue shouted from the front of the room. It keeps the class personal, whatever your experience.

How do I book a class and see who's teaching?

Check the timetable at /classes. Each class lists its day, time and teacher, so you can book the one that suits you.

Can I pause or cancel my membership?

Pausing and cancelling terms are set out when you join. See the memberships at /join for full detail.

What should I bring to my first class?

Bring a water bottle and a towel. Mats are provided in the studio.

What is heated vinyasa, and is it too hot for a beginner?

Vinyasa flow is practised in a heated room, which warms the muscles and deepens the breath. If you'd rather start without heat, yin yoga and the beginners course are practised at room temperature.

What's the difference between Vinyasa flow, Yin yoga and the Beginners course?

Vinyasa flow is a heated, moving practice. Yin yoga is slow and held, at room temperature. The beginners course introduces the postures and breath from scratch. See all three at /our-classes.

Where is the studio and when is it open?

We're at 22 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington 6011. Open Monday to Friday 6am–8.30pm, and weekends 8am–5pm.
