What you need to know 

Visiting us for the first time

We’re big fans of a chilled ambiance + love to see you enjoy a tea before getting on the mat. Arrive in good time, check-in with our host + make yourself at home.

• Please arrive between 10-15 minutes before the class start time to ensure your spot in class. We’re also big fans of a chilled ambiance + love to see you enjoy a tea before getting on the mat.
• Did you reserve a spot online prior to class? If not, please do so to guarantee your spot. Need to cancel? Please do so online, via your account, at least 4 hours prior to the class start time.
• Wanna Walk-in? You can get more info here 
• Mats & Props are all provided, however, bringing your own mat + towel to place on top is a great initiative for sweaty pursuits.
• Wanting to take your water into class? Please bring a non-breakable water bottle so that we don’t have glasses flying around. Spill something? Please clean it up for your 191 mates, who plan to stay on their feet.
• We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that does not restrict your movement. Whether it’s an old pair of PJs or lululemon’s latest pants, we’re happy if you are. Show up in something you can enjoy your practice in.
• If you’re attending a Meditation class, Yin Yoga or any other relaxation practice, we advise you to bring some cosy socks + a jumper into class.
• Please leave valuable + sentimental items at home if you’re worried about their safety. Need to bring something to class? We provide a few lockers for your keys, crown jewels, etc. Technological items (or anything that beeps + pings) cannot enter the practice room.
• We’re a modern bunch – even our yoga teachers won’t throw dirty looks at your iPhones. In fact, we encourage you to take pics of the updates + info that you’ll see on our walls as we’re big fans of preserving trees, one flyer at a time. What we ask is that phones are on silent when you enter the studio + not brought into the practice room.

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.

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.

• To maintain the peace, we silence the doorbell during class times in our De Pijp studio.
• Please remove high heeled shoes before entering the lounge.
• Make sure to check-in with the host upon arrival {includes OneFit students}.
• Need a hug? We’re believers. Feel free to say hi with a hug + watch the boundaries between strangers slip away.
• In De Pijp, have a communal changing room + within it you will find 2 private changing spaces. Our main doors will be locked during class to keep the space safe.
• Please leave phones on silent + inside the changing rooms.
• Help yourself to teas + infused waters but please don’t take the glasses into the practice room.
• We’re into saving paper here – so you won’t find a ton of brochures + flyers to take away. Instead, whip out that phone (on silence, of course) and take pics of our walls.
• Talking about saving paper, we’re also into recycling plastic, paper & glass  – you’ll see different recycling bins in the studio for that.
• Please make yourself at home + feel comfortable to pour yourself a tea + check out any books, vinyls and mags in our lounge. Take some herbs from one of the nearby edible plants + try a tea infusion using the local honey.

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 (spot the board on your way into the studio? This tells you everything you’ll need.)
• 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.

Our facilities

We aim to create spaces that encourage community + connection – whilst also giving you the cosy feeling of home.

• Lotions, Potions + Towels Please do bring your own shower products and towels when planning to wash at our West studio.
• Lockers We have lockers available for your use in both our West and De Pijp studios. We do encourage you to use these for everything that you really care about as we cannot be responsible for your items whilst you’re in class. If you have any Aunty Lily’s diamond ring or Uncle Bob’s vintage Rolex watch, we advise you to leave those at home when possible.
• Strollers for the Mamas We have plenty of space for your strollers and all our studios are street level.
• Lounge Our West studio has a large lounge with big tables, sofas and plenty of benches. We have a small but cosy lounge in De Pijp. We welcome you to make yourself at home but please do note that we are a ‘Laptop Free’ space – as to encourage community + conversation.
