You may cancel the class by clicking the “Change/Cancel Class” button in your class email confirmation and follow the instructions, or you may send us an email or call us over the phone.

Cancellation for a Yoga COURSE

This will allow us to offer your spot to another participant. Cancellations made 21 days or more in advance of the course start date will receive a full refund minus any payment processing fees. Alternatively, we can credit your payment toward a future course. Cancellations made within 10-21 days will receive a 50% refund. Cancellations made within 10 days of the course start date or after the course begins will not receive a refund unless there are exceptional circumstances which will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Our classes are designed for a wide range of body types, where the asanas will benefit each person according to their own unique situation. There are a variety of classes aimed at different levels of Yoga experience, fitness, flexibility and body capacity. The postures taught include modifications offered for different body capacities. Participants are supported to practice in a way that they honor the capacities of their body and mind.

That said, we discourage participation for people who:

• Have had any major surgery in the last 6 months

• Have had any spinal injury in the last 6 months

• Have had any serious cardiac issue in the last 6 months

• Have had any specific advice from the doctor to not perform Yoga or engage in similar physical activity

• Are pregnant or less than two months postpartum

If you have concerns about your health and mobility, we encourage you to consult with a doctor first.

If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.

There is no upper age limit on doing yoga postures, just what your body is comfortable with doing.

Our classes cater to a variety of different levels, body types and abilities, and we provide lots of modifications, support and props to support our students.

If you have any concerns about whether this class will be appropriate for your needs, please contact us via phone or email.

Our center provides yoga mats and other yoga props. However if you wish to bring your own mat and yoga props you are welcome.

If you are participating in an online class, we encourage participants to have their own mat.

We encourage you to wear loose fitting clothes that allow you to move with ease and your skin to breath. You may want to wear layers so that you keep your body at a suitable temperature.

We encourage you to avoid eating a meal at least 2-3h before a class, and 15-20mins after a class. This is so that you don’t injure your body or cause harm to your digestion, as yoga involves a lot of twisting and compression to the digestive region.

Our school teaches in traditional Hatha Yoga style. Our teacher, Sri M, belong’s to the Nath Lineage, which is an ancient Indian lineage of Hatha Yoga pracitioners.

Yoga is an ancient science where people over millennia have experimented and inquired about the capacities of the human body, mind and consciousness. Through this inquiry, it has been discovered that there is an intimate link between the body, the breath and the mind, and that we can use this understanding to improve our health, wellbeing and understanding of who we are.

Yoga has innovated many practices over the centuries that allow people to use postures (Asanas), breathwork (Pranayama), and meditation, to relax the body, clear the mind, and open the heart.

Our classes are taught with these teachings, focusing on primarily on postures, with a bit of breathwork and meditation.

Yoga is a non-denominational practice that can be enjoyed by anyone who has a body, breath and mind. The practitioner does not need to change their beliefs, systems of faith, eating habits or anything else in order to start practicing yoga. Like any system of science or healing, the practitioner needs to follow the practices in order to benefit from the results.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.

Benefits of Yoga include:

Stress Reduction: Whether we are standing at a store counter, sitting at a desk, working outdoors, or parenting at home, with demands of work and family life, stress is a big part of our life. Yoga helps us release tension that is stored in the muscles and in our nervous system, as a result helping us to relax and deal more easily with life’s challenges.

Greater sense of fulfilment: Yoga practices go beyond physical exercise. They require a mental awareness to help us cultivate gratitude for what we have, greater honesty in our actions, compassion and friendliness towards others, and discipline to achieve our goals. When we cultivate these attitudes on and off the mat, we begin to experience a greater sense of fulfilment in our life.

Improved relationships: Yoga assists us with developing a quieter, clearer mind that allows us to see our own behaviors and the behaviors of others with greater clarity, kindness and reduced judgement. With this improved mental state we are able to break out of old patterns, and build relationships that flourish.

Better Health: Yoga is recognized by medical institutions as an important preventative intervention, and also as a useful complementary practice to healing from many diseases. Yogic practices help build strength and flexibility in the muscles, and massage and improve the function of the many organ systems of the body.

Accessing deeper levels of consciousness: Though humanity has evolved and progressed quickly, many of us still wonder “is this all there is to life, or is there something more than meets the eye?”. Meditation, sound and movement have been used throughout human history to access deeper levels of consciousness to try and answer this question. Yoga provides a step by step guide on how we can get there.

While the goal of Yoga is not weight reduction, it helps many with reducing weight, increasing muscle tone and general improved strength, fitness and flexibility.

At sacred grove masks and vaccinations are optional. We request each individual to take necessary precautions as per their preference.
