Please remember to drink enough water before, during (small sips), and after class. Hydration is very important. You can bring your own bottle or purchase cold bottled water from the front desk. Coconut water is also a great post-workout option by the way.

Make sure youve had a meal a few hours before class. If youre hungry just before class, stick to a light snack like fruit or crackers.

Form-fitting clothing that wont interfere with movement or hang down with sweat is the best. Think: T-shirts, singlets, shorts and yoga leggings, preferably made from moisture-wicking fabric (pure cotton traps sweat). We also recommend that women wear sports bras.

We provide the mats, a sweat towel for a hot class, keyed lockers for anything you want to keep safe, water for sale (1), showers with luxury hair and body products (towel rental is 2.50). You can arrive in your clothing and be completely ready for class!

Please make sure you arrive at least 15 minutes before your class starts. Its never a good idea to arrive feeling rushed or stressed before doing yoga. We do not admit clients into a class once it has begun.

Check-in for your class with the receptionist. But be sure to do this no later than 5 minutes before the start of your class. After that, we hand out any available mats to those on the waiting list.

We encourage first-time visitors to introduce themselves to the teacher and place their mat on either the second or third row from the mirror.

Firstly congratulations! Yoga is an excellent form of wellness to enhance your pregnancy. We would always recommend our dedicated pregnancy classes. On attending our other classes, whilst yoga can be excellent, it can also be dangerous if its not adapted to pregnancy. As such, we generally do not allow attendance to our non-pregnancy classes. For more information on practicing whilst pregnant and our policy, please click here.

Some classes have last minute availability, so if youre feeling lucky do drop in. Be sure to be 15 minutes early to register your interest, sign up and pay. We accept debit/credit cards and cash at all of our studios.

Whilst we completely understand its slightly nerve-wracking to try anything new, there is really no need to worry. If you want to come into our studios before signing up or trying, please do and well talk through with you everything you need to know. Yoga is not for skinny, flexible, contortionistic, wealthy people. It is for absolutely everybody! Everybody would gain from one of the different types of yoga or fitness classes we offer. If you want to talk to us in more detail or have any other questions, please pop-in or email us on studio@tribe.yoga.
