Getting started
with yoga classes

It's simple

​1

All our classes welcome newcomers, from beginners onwards (except for Thursdays classes). Simply choose a class time that suits you and let the teacher know you are new to yoga when you arrive.

If you want to get in touch first to discuss if the class is suitable, feel free to get in touch.  ​ 

2

Book via our website. You will then receive a confirmation email right away with everything you need to know, what to bring and directions etc.
​

Our classes are suitable for most, no matter what your level of fitness and mobility, experience or body type. Book online or get in touch.

​

Simply let the teacher know if you are a beginner and about any health issues or injuries before the class starts. You are welcome to ring/email and chat first. 

​All our classes are small so we can ensure you get the instruction you need to get started enjoyably and safely. We will add layers of instruction, techniques and suitable challenges when you feel ready and you are always encouraged to work at your own pace.

​There are no requirements for physical ability - we can adapt the practice to anyone who wants to learn. If your unsure, get in touch, it might be that a 121 lesson is a better starting point for you.

Helpful information

Do I need to book?
If a class says 'drop-in' on the class timetable, you can simply book for the class online for a one-off. . 

​
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily. No special kit needed. 


When should I arrive?
Please aim to arrive 10 minutes before the start of the yoga class, especially if it is your first class. No latecomers I'm afraid, sorry. 


I'm a beginner to yoga, is that okay?
Yes, we teach in small friendly groups and beginners are welcome to start at any time. Please come 10 mins prior to the class start time and let the teacher know you are new to Yoga. They will give you a few pointers to help you get started. 

Do I need to come each week?
Coming weekly and getting to know your teacher and their teaching style is an ideal way to gain familiarity with the movements and ways of practicing. A teacher who knows you can help you along the way. At least weekly practice is recommended. ​ 

How should I pay?
Book online through our booking system or directly to the teacher in advance via bank transfer. 


What if I have an injury or health issue?
If you have any health concerns or injuries yoga can be very helpful when carefully practiced. Sometimes modification of the practices is required to ensure it is safe. All of our teachers are experienced at working with a wide range of health issues.

If your unsure, please chat to the yoga teacher in advance of coming, simply click on the teachers name to get a link to their contact info.

At Bristol YogaSpace all of the yoga teachers specialise in the therapeutic application of yoga. Health limitations can be accommodated as long as we know about them in advance and can make the time to work with you. Sometimes a group class isn't an ideal starting point and private lessons might be recommended initially. Or a quieter class where we can work with you more individually. This would
 help get you started with your practice and explore ways of moving and practicing that suit you.  



Can I make up missed classes that I've paid for?
Yes, you can exchange up to 2 classes during your term, this may need to be online as space is very limited. Some classes are recorded so you could attend that way too. Please discuss with your teacher in advance. 
Sorry we can't carry over missed classes to the next term. 



Do I need a yoga mat? 
At the moment we are asking everyone to bring their own mats and perhaps a folded blanket or block to sit on for some poses. 


Do you have space to get changed?
Yes we have two loos you can change in. 
​


Personal belongings
We have space to bring your valuables into the studio with you. Please turn off all phones (no sound and not on vibrate). Any belongings left in the foyer are left at your own risk. If you do leave anything at the studio, please let us know within a month so that we can hold on to it for you. We donate unclaimed items to charity each month. 


Where can I park my car?
We have a small car park for 5-6 cars and easy on-street parking in the surrounding streets. 


Where can I park my bike?
We have plenty of bike parking at the studio and love cyclists!
