1. General questions about classes
What time do I arrive for a yoga class?
Always plan to arrive 10 minutes early. Coming late disturbs others!
Mobile Phones
Remember to switch them off or put on silent!
What to wear?
* Comfortable clothing that you can easily move in: whether it's stretchy lycra or baggy jogging bottoms the most important thing is that you can move freely in it, won't trip over the trouser bottoms and if you are wearing a baggy t-shirt a top tip is to have a fitted vest-top underneath so that you're not exposed when bending down!
* Bring a jumper and socks for the final relaxation to ensure warmth and snugness.
What is provided?
Mats, blocks, belts and blankets
What else to bring?
A bottle of water if you get thirsty
Eating before class
Ideally eat 2 hours before class as then the food has digested and you still have energy. Need an emergency snack before class?! Then we recommend you eat something easily digestible like a yoghurt, banana.
How to approach your yoga practice
Remember there is NO competition, not even with yourself! We are all unique and a yoga is a wonderful place to experience your unique perfection, just how you are.
SMILE, RELAX and don't take yourself too seriously...it's meant to be FUN!

this option due to many of our terms being longer than usual, at 15 weeks. The half a course option allows you to still get the reduced course rate price e.g. £12 a week. This must first be agreed
with Battersea Yoga and then please remember to specify in the
reference box which course you are attending for half the course. Use the non-standard payment opton to buy half a
course
- Latecomers to Courses: we are happy for you to join any of our courses after the course has started so long as there is space. If it has been agreed
that
you can join a course late, then you will just pay for the remainder of
the course as a non-standard payment.
- Can I attend a course on a drop-in basis? Yes for the drop-in rate (currently £14). We do recommend attending the whole course because (a) it has been
crafted to create a flowing structure, building on each consecutive
week to give you maximum benefit (b) it works out cheaper for you!
