Information
Bare feet are recommended for all Yoga classes.
For comfortable class experience, please wait two to three hours after a meal or a half an hour after a light snack or drink. Avoid sipping water during class, but drink plenty afterwards.
For hygiene purposes it is preferable that you bring your own mat to class, however some mats are available.
Please take your shoes off before entering the class and turn off your mobile. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to class to ensure you have a space.
Talk to your teacher. If you’re new, why not enter the studio a few minutes early and introduce yourself? Also, please let the teacher know if you must leave early or if you have any injuries or conditions that the teacher should know about.
Make sure you have checked with your doctor prior to starting.
General Approach
Please listen to your body, do not hold poses for any longer than you feel you need to.
Remember it is your body, so if you experience pain, then stop what you are doing. Reduce the amount of repetitions should you feel you need to do so.
Yoga is not competitive, keep in mind that every one is different and this depends on your age, your fitness level, the way that you are built, whether you have a disability, etc.
Really think about the area that you are working and become aware of the different muscles you are using.

About Yogapulse
Yogapulse classes are for all levels and encourage a non-competitive environment where you work at your own level to challenge yourself in a positive way.
Variations for all levels are given so that beginners feel welcome and those with more experience can continue to deepen their practice
Yogapulse classes connect breath and movement, mind and body thus uniting the mental and physical selves. Your body becomes stronger, you become more able at releasing stress and tension, the mind becomes clearer and more focused.
Yogapulse is a dynamic and energetic practice performed in a sequential (flowing) order, synchronising movement with the breath (Vinyasa or Flow Yoga). Yogapulse is upbeat, fun and challenging; will make you sweat, smile and get stronger. Music is used to complement and elevate the energy of the class, so let your body turn soft, let your body flow fluidly and allow your body to become light!
Vinyasa Yoga
Combining traditional asana (poses) in a vinyasa flow (breath-synchronized movement), Vinyasa Yoga strengthens the core body, builds flexibility and stamina, and brings about mental and physical wellbeing.
A unique flow, set to a variety of music, is created each week based on the needs of the students in attendance, to cultivate their unique strength, fluidity and creativity.
There is always an emphasis on alignment and proper breathing techniques as the foundation of the practice, and mindfulness meditation/relaxation.
Vinyasa yoga is suitable for all levels.
Core Body Yoga
This class is designed for you to get your practice in during your lunchhour so that you may go home in the evening knowing that you have done your routine for the day!
Combining traditional poses in a flowing sequence, Core Vinyasa Yoga strengthens the core body by accessing the deepest part of your core. It unlocks the power of your centre, penetrating weak muscle tissue and awakening sluggish organs. It strengthens the limbs and leaves you feeling energised for the rest of the day.
Core Vinyasa Yoga will enhance your yoga practice, and is for all levels.
Private Tuition
Regardless of level, age or stage of life, private lessons provide the perfect setting to address your individual goals and needs.
Private lessons are a great way to introduce yourself to yoga. Working in a focused way specific to your requirements and concerns. For example: work on general strength and flexibility; painful or tense areas; relaxation, with or without the use of yoga props.
Different classes will have a different emphasis – some being more physical, some focusing more on relaxation, breath work and meditation, depending on the students requirements, specifications and/or whether the student has a medical condition.
