NEW TO YOGA OR PILATES, OR VISITING US FOR THE FIRST TIME?

  1. DO I NEED TO BRING A MAT? Up to you! We have good quality, 5mm yoga mats available in studio, but feel free to bring your own if you prefer. We sanitise all mats after class with eucalyptus spray and cloths.

  2. WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? Only Lululemon allowed. JUST KIDDING. Feel free to wear whatever you feel most comfortable moving in. Light-weight, stretchy clothing is recommended. Shoes or socks are not required, and most students choose to go barefoot. Be comfortable, and make sure you are free to move. Remember, it's less about how you look, and much more about how you feel!

  3. DO I NEED TO BOOK ONLINE? Yes, booking online is important, as is cancelling out of a class if you’re no longer able to attend. All classes have a 5 hour cancellation period so that those waitlisted have ample time to sign up for class. We recommend booking in ahead of class to ensure there is space. 7am classes (or earlier) must be booked prior to 10pm the previous night. All other scheduled classes require 2 hours notice.

    We encourage you to arrive 5 minutes before the class. The door will be closed and locked at precisely class start time to ensure the people who arrive on time are able to fully relax and ease into the time they’ve carved out for themselves.

  4. WHAT SHOULD I EAT OR DRINK BEFORE ATTENDING A CLASS? Our recommendation is to avoid eating large meals up to 2 hours before practicing. Refuelling your body after class is a much better way to go. Water is a great liquid to have before, during and after class. We believe that prana [life force] stems from good coffee, but advise against consuming sugary or alcoholic drinks before practicing.

  5. BUT I’M NOT FLEXIBLE… At bendd, we consider flexibility to be a state of mind, not a state of hamstrings. So come join a class with an open mind and we think you’ll surprise yourself.

We look forward to seeing you soon at the studio, and of course if you have any further questions, please feel free to be in touch via email: info@benddstudio.com
