Arriving at the studio
We’re into saving paper here, therefore all our info is online or on posters around the studios. However, we do have some bad ass business cards for daily inspiration.

In the practice room
As teachers, we love to know how you’re feeling. If you’re experiencing any physical changes such as an injury, illness or pregnancy, we’re here to support you ~ so make sure to chat with your teacher before class.
- Grab yourself a mat + some props
- As teachers, we came together based on our passion for people. The chances are that we have already met, laughed + chatted together. However, if you managed to sneak into the practice room, please do say hi before the class begins. We’re all about you & it’s handy to know your motivations and any history of illness or injury. Speak up, peeps.
- Please leave all mobile phone {and all other vibrating, ringing devices} and glasses/tea cups outside of the studio practice rooms. Be here now, without distraction.
- Be yourself + acknowledge others. Do you need time to sit, lay, stretch, close your eyes, be upside down? Go for it. Or perhaps you spotted a friend on another mat who looks keen for a cuddle? We share our space with each other and as long as we are respectful and aware of those around us, we can wash away the rules within the practice room and be ourselves – with one another. Even if you’re class isn’t yoga, the yogic perspective of internal and external compassion and awareness can be applied in all aspects of our lives. Come to practice as yourself, with yourself + extend your good vibes to others.
- At the end of class, you will find our lavender + tea tree mat spray alongside some cotton hand towels. Please clean your mat well + fold the hand towel, placing it back in the basket for the next class. We re-use these towels throughout the day to reduce the use of paper + washing.
- Please neatly place all props + blankets away with care for the next bunch of students.
- Have feedback – please let the host or teacher know. We’re here to serve you + always appreciate your thoughts + suggestions.
Your health and wellbeing
Always listen to your body first – as we are here to guide you but you will always know your body best. Be your own guide first + then let us assist you further.
- If you are pregnant, have a severe and/or recent injury health concern, please consult your doctor before practicing.
- If you are pregnant, have an injury or health concern and yoga or other movement-based activities have been recommended by your doctor, please do let your teacher know before the start of our practice. We will do our best to recommend alternative exercises when relevant, or ask you to skip certain exercises.
- Try not to eat anything too heavy within 2 hours of practicing with us. This will allow you to get better results from your class + also better digestive results from your food, hehe.
- Listen to your body before class. If you are feeling stressed, your practice may help you. However, if you are feeling seriously unwell please choose to rest.
- Listen to your body during class. We are often working with our comfort zones in yoga + movement – trying to go a little bit deeper, a little bit further. However, if you feel any pain in the exercises, please return to a comfortable position.
- We are not doctors. Our advice is given with good intention, yet without medical expertise. If you ask us for advise regarding your health, we might have some awesome suggestions; however, please always see your doctor for anything concerning your medical, emotional or psychological wellbeing.

Lost property and leftover items

If you think you have left an item at one of our studios, please make your way back to the studio during our opening times + one of our hosts/teachers will be able to assist you. We will obviously make an exception for wedding rings – so yes, please do email us if you have left your wedding ring in one of our studios.
- Please know that we can store lost property item up to 3 weeks, so please make sure to collect your item as soon as possible. Most of the time, the most treasured items are collected within days + even though we wish we could store leftovers longer, after this time {when the box is overflowing + our storage space gets limited} we do deliver the items to The Regenboog Groep.
