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.

• 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.
