USEFUL TIPS.....
Arriving for your first yoga class can be daunting – we know, we’ve all been there! Here are some tips, suggestions and policies we have to make your experience as relaxing as possible:
NEW STUDENT INFO
Hey there, Welcome!
Here you can:
WHO CAN COME TO CLASS?
Classes are for ADULTS unless specified otherwise. Please enquire if high school age. We like to be inclusive as possible where we can.
Please note: Children/ adults cannot sit & wait in foyer or next to the participating student during any class. Everyone inside the studio at class time must be a paid student participating in that timetabled class. There are no exceptions to this rule.
DO I NEED TO BOOK MY SPOT?
YES! Online booking is a must (via The Base Yoga website or our FREE studio app - The Base Yoga app) to secure your spot.
During current Covid restrictions, we are allowed a maximum of 30 students per class. Spots are hot property so please book in advance to avoid disappointment and remember to CANCEL out a minimum of 12 hours prior to class start if you can no longer attend your class.
WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE?
15 minutes before your first class & 10-15 minutes before every other class. Studio doors open 15 minutes before the scheduled start and the doors are locked for class strictly at start time. We don’t accept late arrivals. Please do not knock if you are late as this will interrupt the class that has started on time.
If you are early for your class, please wait quietly until the doors are opened (the class before yours may still be in progress.)
We also lock our doors 15 minutes after the final class of any day or night sessions to allow time for students to ask questions or chat with fellow students post class.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Comfortable workout clothes. Women usually wear tights/tracksuits and a singlet/T-shirt. Men usually wear supportive shorts/ tracksuits and a singlet/T-shirt.
Yoga is practiced without shoes or socks, we will provide a place for you to store your shoes and belongings.
Please do not wear any heavy perfume, and ensure you are freshened up prior to attending class. Personal hygiene is a simple courtesy to others.
Hats & Caps are not permitted to be worn out of courtesy to our ancient practice of yoga.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
We do provide sanitiser spray & wipes for students to wipe down studio mats & blocks after use - fresh and ready for the next student.
SHOULD I EAT BEFORE YOGA?
We advise not to eat a heavy meal 2-3 hours before yoga class. A small snack is OK and advisable to stay nourished. Stay well hydrated throughout the day and you should not feel the need to drink water during class. Chewing gum is not permitted in class.
WHAT IF I HAVE AN INJURY OR ARE PREGNANT?
Please let your teacher know on arrival so we can look after you in class. It is the responsibility of the student to do no harm to themselves. We always encourage safety in our classes and working within your means. We encourage all pre-existing injuries or illness to be told to the instructor each class as well as kept on students profile in case of an emergency. An emergency contact must also be provided to us on your first visit too.
