New Students

If you're new to yoga or perhaps new to Bloom, it may feel a little daunting at first, but we do our best to make you feel at home. 

All of our yoga classes are suitable for beginner students.

Our teachers are all experienced in offering modifications of different poses for beginner students, and more advanced modifications or progressions for the more experienced yogis.

We find most students new to yoga prefer to start with our Beginners Series, Slow Flow and Yin, which are all slower paced than our Vinyasa classes.

  • I'm not very flexible, can I still practice yoga?
    Yoga really is for every body, flexibility is something that develops as a result of yoga, it is by no means a requirement in order to start and is NOT the goal of yoga! Yoga IS challenging, however after just a few classes, you’ll feel a difference in your flexibility, mobility AND strength!
  • I'm Pregnant. Can I start yoga?
    Our pre-natal yoga classes are suitable for absolute beginners, and because they're gentle you're welcome to start at ANY time. Whether it’s your first, second or third trimester; yoga is safe to practice all the way up until your baby arrives to relieve aches, pains and prepare the mind and body for birth and life as a new mother. If you were not doing yoga prior to your pregnancy, we do not recommend starting a general yoga or flow class during your pregnancy. For students who DO have a practice and attend our non-pregnancy yoga classes – please let your teacher know discreetly, even if you’re just a few weeks along – the first trimester is the most delicate!
  • Are men allowed to do the classes?
    Absolutely! Yoga was originally developed BY MEN FOR MEN! Men are welcome at any of our drop-in classes or beginner courses - whether you are new, experienced, young or old! We also offer a MEN'S SERIES just for blokes to give yoga a go!
  • Do I need to bring my own yoga mat?
    If you have your own yoga mat please bring it along, otherwise we have complimentary Manduka PRO studio mats which we ask you to wipe down after use. We do ask that you to bring a large towel to place over the bolsters if you’re attending a yin or restorative class.
  • I'm not very flexible, can I still practice yoga?
    Yoga really is for every body, flexibility is something that develops as a result of yoga, it is by no means a requirement in order to start and it is also NOT the goal of yoga either! After just a few classes, you’ll feel a difference in your flexibility, mobility AND strength!
  • What should I wear to my first yoga class?
    Clothing which is lightweight and that you can move easily in. In summer, you might bring a hand towel in case it’s sweaty! In the winter, we recommend wearing layers - bring a jumper or long sleeved top plus some socks to wear for savasana (relaxation).
  • I've never practiced yoga before, do I need to do the beginners series first?
    Not necessarily, you are welcome to join any of our classes, a SLOW FLOW or a YIN class are a good place to start. However the beginners series will provide the skills to get you started and is a good way to refresh your skills if it's been a while since you've been on the mat.
  • What to bring to class
    Wear light and fitted clothes Bring a water bottle Bring a yoga mat (studio mats are also available) Bring a beach towel or blanket Hand towel during warmer months in case you get sweaty! A jumper and socks to stay warm in cooler months.
  • Preparing for Your First Class
    Drink plenty of water before and after class Avoid eating a heavy meal 2 hours before class - have something light like a banana if you're hungry! Wear light but fitted clothes you can move easily in Bring a yoga mat if you have one (studio mats are also available) Please be mindful not to use strong perfumes or deodorants Please book in advance, places are limited Arrive at least 5 minutes before class starts
