Class Information - In Person & Online
!!! PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE GUIDELINES BEFORE GOING TO TIMETABLE OR BOOKING A CLASS !!!
UPDATED AUGUST 2024
In Person Class Information & Etiquette
Please, do NOT DROP-IN, classes are by BOOKING ONLY so please enquire first and fill in ParQ (health/waiver) form here - thank you.
DO NOT ATTEND with ANY illness, especially COVID symptoms. You will be refused participation if you turn up clearly ill and will lose your booking payment.
YOGA CLASS INFO -
Bring your own proper sticky yoga mat, chunky yoga brick, strap, water and blanket for relaxation
If you would prefer no hands on asists or close up guidance, please let the instructor know via email prior to class or privately at the start of class.
Clothing Bring extra layers in spring /autumn / winter as some halls can be a bit chilly. the heating is often off from May to October, although I have my own heaters, its still wise to layer up.
Please wear, comfortable, moveable (decent) clothing, that protects your modesty and respects others! (ie no loose short shorts and no see through cycling shorts please!)
If you become pregnant
Please tell Vernette BEFORE attending class as it may not be wise to continue practice, especially in the first trimester. Classes are not designed with pregnancy in mind but can be modified if already have an established practice.
Please arrive 5-10 minutes early,
Entering classes late is disturbing to others. If you do arrive a few minutes late, please make sure that you enter as slowly and quietly as you can. Some venues, the doors will be shut at class start time so you wont get in if late. Entry to halls is 15 minutes prior to class start time.
Practice on an empty stomach
It is recommended that you do not eat a heavy meal at least three hours before practice. A light meal is okay 1-2 hours beforehand.
Mobile phones
Please help preserve the peace and be sure to turn off your mobile phone before entering the class so that its quiet and the bluetooth off as the class maybe streamed live and it interferes with the mic headset.
Although all classes are open, all abilities, a reasonable level of fitness or mobility is required for some of the classes as they are fairly active, flowing hatha yoga, including slow to medium paced flowing movements as well as some holding postures. If you can get up and down off the floor with relative ease, you'll be ok in the hatha flow classes, otherwie chair yoga, yin yoga or yogalates may be more suitable if you want or need to the class ot be on one level.

Bring water and towel as you may get sweaty! To protect your knees, its advisable to wear shoes or sneakers that dont have too much tread such as flexible soled plimsoles, pumps, dance shoes, cross training shoes are better. If running trainers are all you have, be careful to keep steps quite small.

It will be useful to have a go with Zoom before the class if you aren’t familiar with using it. You can also watch a few of these 1 minute tutorials which are really helpful. Here's the link for those: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362193-Joining-a-Meeting

Please join the meeting early by pressing the link and you will be taken to a ‘waiting room' where I will admit you to the class 5-10 minutes before the start. I will NOT be giving tech advice at the start of the class, so I say again, have a play and familiarize yourself with it.
