NEW TO YOGA CORNER, OR trying YOGA FOR THE FIRST TIME?
DO I NEED TO BOOK ONLINE? It is preferable to book ahead online, in order to secure your spot in class, and also so that you can manage your bookings each time you attend, hassle free. This way you can also cancel out of a class if you’re no longer able to attend, up to 2hrs before the class, without penalty. If you’re unable to book online, you can still absolutely simply turn up to the studio 15mins before the class you’d like to attend and we can help you book in on the spot.
DO I NEED TO BE ON TIME? Yes, we lock up the studio at each class start time for safety and security reasons so you’ll need to arrive at least 5 minutes early in order not to miss out, and giving you time to set up and settle in. We open the studio at least 15 minutes before each scheduled class, so you can give yourself extra time (highly recommended!).
DO I NEED TO BRING MY OWN YOGA MAT? Mat are complimentary provided in the studio, you are more than welcome to bring yours if you prefer. We also have a range of yoga mats for purchase in our retail area at reception.
DO YOU HAVE CHANGING FACILITIES? Yes we have toilet and changing cubicles. There are no showers in the studio.
I'M NEW - WHAT CLASS SHOULD I ATTEND FIRST? We offer a range of styles of classes and understand that in the beginning it can seem daunting to know where to start. In reading through our class descriptions you should get an idea as to what to expect in each class, and from there it’s completely up to you.
We invite every level of practitioner to try any class at Yoga Corner, but can suggest complete beginners to start off with either a Gentle Flow class for the more active styles of Yoga, or a Candlelit Yin / Restore class for a more restorative, meditative experience that is slow-paced and gives time for personalised attention.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? Feel free to wear whatever you feel most comfortable moving in. Light-weight, stretchy clothing is recommended. No shoes or socks required - as practice is barefoot. Be comfortable, and make sure you are free to move, it's less about how you look, and much more about how you feel ;)
WHAT SHOULD I EAT OR DRINK BEFORE ATTENDING A HOT YOGA CLASS? Our advice would be to not eat large meals up to 2 hours before practicing Yoga. Refuelling your body after the class is a much better way to go. If you're practicing Hot Yoga especially, we encourage you to drink plenty of water up to 15 minutes before the class, and again afterwards as much as you need to feel hydrated and replenished. Drinking during your practice might make you feel more comfortable, but won't necessarily benefit your experience, of course you can bring your water bottle into class if you so desire.
We look forward to seeing you soon at the studio, and of course if you have any further questions, please feel free to be in touch via email: info@yogacorner.com.au
