FAQS
HOW OLD SHOULD MY BABY BE?
6 weeks - 10months (or pre-walking)
IS THERE PRAM ACCESS?
Yes. There is one step down into the studio - then it’s all level from there.
DO YOU HAVE PARKING?
Metered parking is very reasonable at $1 per hour on Thomas, Market and Church Street - alternatively park in Wollongong Central and use the trip into town to grab groceries or mix and match with your other errands.
WHAT IF MY BABY IS UNSETTLED?
You can feed, change or rock your baby as needed in class… or escape to the reception …. or our little oasis outside… it’s all up to you.
Also… just a heads up - I LOVE babies… Russ calls me the baby whisperer… in fact one time I did a private session with two postnatal ladies… I held one little bubba for the whole session (asleep on my shoulder)… and the other little one slept in their pram!
WHEN CAN I JOIN?
Once you’re had your post-natal check up and are cleared for exercise - you are welcome to enrol!
Every birth is different - but usually between 6-12 weeks post-delivery is a common start time.
If you are experiencing pelvic floor issues (pain, heaviness, leaking on exertion) or are concerned about any post-delivery complications (unhealed scar tissue, bleeding etc)… we highly recommend getting an assessment from a pelvic health physiotherapist prior to recommencing exercise.
CAN I JOIN CASUALLY?
If you are past 35 weeks pregnant, you can attend casually at $35/class.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS A CLASS?
We have a lesson bank of 50 pre-recorded prenatal yoga classes that you are welcome to watch in lieu of your missed class.
Alternatively - you can join us in real time via live stream.
Or you can join a studio YIN or SLOW FLOW class on our regular timetable.
CAN I TRANSFER MISSED CLASSES TOWARD A FUTURE COURSE?
Missed classes cannot be used for future prenatal or mums & bubs courses.
However - you are more than welcome to join a YIN or SLOW FLOW class on our regular timetable within 2 weeks of the course completion.
*Yin is a gentle / floor-based class and we will give you prenatal options, Slow Flow is a similar pace to our prenatal classes and we will give pregnancy options - however Slow Flow is best as a make up before 35 weeks pregnant.

6 WEEK BEGINNERS YOGA
MONDAYS 7PM
Is this the year you start yoga? If you’ve been thinking for a while that you need to do something about those tight hammies, find ways to improve your posture and deal with chronic neck and shoulder pain (from too much desk work)…
Or maybe physically you’re fine, but emotionally you’re a wreck… you know it’s time to manage your anxiety and the stress that keeps you tossing and turning at night….
If this sounds familiar you’re in the right place. It’s also a great place for all the “Type As” out there who like to learn methodically, step by step and know you’re getting it ‘right’ before jumping into an open level class.
We know how intimidating it can be to start something new. And yoga is no exception. We’re the first to admit that yoga studios probably feel a bit intimidating (you’re imagining that you’ll be the only one in the room that can’t touch your toes… or that everyone else is ‘more advanced’ right?
That’s why we created this simple 6 week beginners course to get you started without worrying about being the stiffest person in the room. We welcome ALL yogis, all body shapes, and if you’ve got an injury - this is the perfect place to learn modifications for YOUR body.
This course is ideal for those who have never done yoga, may need a yoga refresher, or may be recovering from an injury.
WHAT TO EXPECT
• Learn key postures & alignment for safe practice
• Practice at a pace that suits your body
• Ease tight hips + relieve lower back pain
• Learn how to prevent shoulder injuries in yoga
• Build confidence to join a regular open level class
