Welcome to Ara Studios. We encourage you to come to the mat with no expectations & a sense of curiosity. Here we all know what its like to be a beginner & hold space for you to come in without any judgement and learn something new. Release your inner child - embrace the simple things in life.


Every Class

on our timetable is open to all levels. Our teachers offer variations to suit everybody in the room so that everyone can work at their own comfortable learning pace. If you are a beginner, you won’t be alone! In our classes we encourage you to come with an open mind & have fun on your mat. Come with no expectations on yourself & don’t compare your practice to anyone else in the room. Yoga is not a performance it is a practice. Take the variations best suited for your body & allow yourself to slowly start to connect to the breath posture & flow each class.


Bookings

and online payments are available but not required. Doors open 20 minutes before each class, please arrive at least 10 minutes before your chosen class and there will be plenty of time to secure a spot.


Classes

have a set duration. Please come with the intention to stay the entire session – if otherwise please let the teacher know so you can set up at the back. To ensure you get the most out of your practice we advise staying for the entire duration of the class. Savasana is the most important part of every class.


Bring

yourself, a water bottle, a towel for if you get sweaty & no expectations for your first session. 


Shower Facilities

and storage areas are available for everyone to use.


Talk

to us regarding any concerns or injuries you may have. If you have any concerns before or after class always feel free to let us know. We want to ensure your needs are always being looked after.


Come

well hydrated and on an empty stomach. Good hydration enables you to practice more comfortably. If you are hungry in the 2 hours before class have a light snack, in time you will know what works best for you.


Not Flexible

WHO CARES :) we certainly don’t. Our yoga is for everybody. One thing you will quickly learn is that the yoga room has more inflexible people than flexible ones.


Parking

We have 9 parks available on site. Then parking is on the street. Teachers will park in the parks at the back of studio. When you arrive for early morning classes please be mindful of the residents.
