What if I’m working with an injury?
If you are working with an injury or any other health condition, first you must consult your doctor or other qualified expert that it is safe for you to practice. Once you have been given the all clear then please inform the teacher before your class so they are aware, they may be able to offer you modifications to help you, if appropriate. Hot yoga can help with the rehab of some injuries but we recommend you listen to your body as well as your physician, if a posture does not feel right then you should stop immediately.

Yes, please inform the reception team at the front desk when you arrive, for your health and safety we need to know who is in the building in case of an emergency.
What if I’m running late for class?
If it is your first class we do not recommend you arrive late, this allows the teacher to learn it is your first time and also to talk you through how to manage your class. Please allow 15 minutes before the class start time.
Other than your first time we understand that issues can happen and allow entry 10 minutes from the start of the class. If you are late frequently we will not allow you entry, we can sympathise on the odd occasion, we are also mindful of the students who have started their practice and do not wish to be disrupted from their own meditation.
