Yes there is free parking on site at the Friary and on surrounding roads at Paisley House, full details will be provided in your booking confirmation.
Are classes suitable for beginners?
Yes. I offer modifications to suit individual students and you are encouraged to listen to your body and choose the right level for you. Upon booking a class you will be asked to complete a student health questionnaire which will give you the opportunity to let me know about any vulnerable areas or injuries prior to the class.
Can i cancel/reschedule my booking?
Individual class bookings can be cancelled or rescheduled using the ‘Change/Cancel Appointment’ button on your confirmation email. There is a 24 hour cancellation policy for online bookings, meaning you can cancel your class for a full refund up to 24 hours before the class start time.
Block booking packages are non refundable.
Are yoga and Ayurveda religions?
Yoga is not a religion, although it does have deep spiritual roots. Originating in ancient India, yoga is a holistic philosophy and practice that aims to cultivate harmony between the body, mind, and spirit, and ultimately support self-awareness and inner peace. While its traditional purpose is spiritual in nature, yoga does not require any particular religious belief and people of all faiths, or none, can practise it in a way that honours their own beliefs and values.
Ayurveda is not a religion or belief system either. It is a traditional system of health and wellbeing that has been practised for thousands of years. Many of its principles are based on observing nature, the changing seasons and the relationship between our lifestyle and our health. Whatever your background or beliefs, Ayurveda offers practical tools that can help you feel more balanced, resilient and connected.
