FAQ's
Its my first time. What do I need to bring?
All you need to bring with you is a drink bottle, and a towel (optional) in warmer months. If you have a yoga mat that you would prefer to use from home you're encouraged to bring it along to class. Alternatively, we have all mats, props and equipment in studio.
How early should I arrive to class?
For first time visitors, you are encouraged to arrive 15-20mins prior to class start time to fill in a client registration form and get a brief induction to show you how to set up with equipment before class begins.
For everybody else, please arrive 5-10mins early to ensure there are no disruptions for your fellow yogis and class can get off on time.

I'm not flexible, can I still do yoga?
You don't need to be flexible to come to yoga! That would be like needing to spell or read before going to school. Just be prepared to come to class with no judgement, be open hearted, open minded about your class and your practice.
What does Hatha Vinyasa mean?
The words 'hatha' and 'vinyasa' are from the ancient Indian language called Sanskrit. Quite often you will hear teachers speak Sanskrit in their yoga classes calling poses by their original names rather than English translations. Hatha yoga is the lineage of yoga we come from in most modern classes, a way of breathing, moving and purifying the mind and body to manipulate our life/energy. Vinyasa - generally used in a class involving one pose flowing to another to formulate a series of movements and breathing techniques. It has also been incorporated in some classes as the series of specific movements including Plank pose - Upward dog - Downward dog. Don't be overwhelmed by this. All Simply U Yoga classes are generally at a beginner level and easy options will be given as alternatives.
How often should I do a yoga class?
Yoga has so many benefits, the more often you do practice and stick to it, the quicker you will notice changes happening in your body/mind. Like all things, consistency is key!
How much does it cost?
There is a range of prices dependent on how often you wish to practice and what fits your routine? A consistent practice means more benefits you will notice, much quicker than if you only come once per week.
