If you’re new to Yoga, Pilates or Reformer or even just new to Ebb & Flow, you might have heaps of questions about the practice, the studio and what it’s all about. We aim to create an open, friendly and supportive community at our studio. So, have a read up on the commonly asked questions and on what to expect on your first visit. Please feel free to email us with any other questions you might have, we’re always happy to have a chat.

ARE THERE DIFFERENT LEVELS IN CLASSES?

We recommend choosing classes that fit your schedule. All of our classes are suitable for every level, regardless of your background or experience. Our teachers thoughtfully offer modifications so you can practice at your own pace and feel supported every step of the way.

Why is the mat room warm?

We gently heat our mat room to around 25 degrees using infrared heating, which has many benefits for your body and mind. The warmth helps to loosen connective tissue, increase joint mobility, and improve flexibility, allowing you to move more comfortably. It also supports gentle detoxification through the skin - the body’s largest organ - leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalised.

We keep the temperature consistent year-round, and in summer we’ll use cooling if needed so it never feels uncomfortably hot. Our aim is to create a space that feels like you’re practicing on a tropical island, not in a sauna. Many clients leave class feeling lighter, more balanced, and deeply cleansed - mentally, physically, and emotionally.

what should i bring to class?

Try to come to class on a fairly empty stomach, avoiding heavy meals 2 hours before class, and arrive well-hydrated. Please aim to arrive 15 minutes before class so we can start on time and you can settle in without feeling rushed.

Mat Room - bring a mat and a bottle of water. If you don’t have a mat, we have mats available to borrow or purchase.

Reformer Room - bring a bottle of water and a pair of grippy socks for hygiene and safety. Don’t have any? We have socks available to purchase in the studio.

i’m pregnant - which classes should i attend?

We recommend speaking with your GP or obstetrician before attending classes, particularly if you’re completely new to Yoga, Pilates or Reformer. Once cleared, our teachers are happy to help guide you through suitable options and modifications.

how often should i practice?

As often as feels good for your body. Some clients enjoy practicing 5-6 times per week, adjusting intensity to suit their energy levels. Others benefit greatly from 2-3 classes per week, especially if they’re also doing other sports.

The most important thing is to listen to your body’s intuition. Slowing down when needed and finding a balance that works for you is an important part of the journey.

Why INFRARED HEAT?

In order for the amazing benefits of this certain heat therapy to be experienced. Specifically, Far Infrared Heat is a healthy, natural, and safe therapy for all living things.

On the other hand, ultraviolet light causes sunburn and further damage to your skin. The heat is a form of thermal energy, with the warmth you feel much like that penetrating your skin when you are outside in the sun.

Its rays are waves of energy, totally invisible to the naked eye, and capable of penetrating deep into the human body (approx 4 cm), where they gently elevate the body's surface temperature and activate major bodily functions.

Far Infrared Rays are part of the sun's invisible spectrum, and thus do not cause sunburn or skin damage. Far Infrared Heat is a healthy, natural and safe therapy for all living things.

FIR do not dry out your lungs, throat, mouth, or nose, or present any of the unpleasantries often associated with traditional warmed and blown air systems. Instead, the feeling is one of nurturing and comfort.

Benefits 

The penetrating effects of FIR radiant heat warms your muscles - creating extra flexibility and deeper release. It is an excellent aid to the outer surface of the skin as well, by helping to reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles, healing cuts and scars, and smoothing the texture of the skin.

Far Infrared Rays expand capillaries, thus stimulating increased blood flow, regeneration, circulation, and oxygenation. 

FIR heat is excellent for detox.

Scientists report that in the FIR treatment of clogged capillary vessels, heat expands the capillaries and then initiates the start of a process to dissolve hidden toxins. FIR Infrared thereby promotes elimination of fats, chemicals, and toxins from the blood.  

FIR relieves nervous tension and relax autoneuro muscles thereby, helping the body make the most of its intended healing abilities. Due to the heating of muscle fibers, FIR reduces soreness on nerve endings and muscle spasms. 

FIR stimulates enzyme activity and metabolism.

By raising metabolism and body temperature, FIR heat also breaks down cellulite (trapped water, fat and waste). FIR waves penetrate layers of tissue, triggering mobilisation of chemicals from fat stored under the skin to move directly into the sweat.

After about 20 minutes,body heat starts releasing stored fat.

FIR promotes rebuilding of injured tissue by positively effecting the fibroblasts (the connective tissue cells necessary for the repair of injury). Furthermore, it increases growth of cells and protein synthesis, both necessary components for any successful tissue repair and regeneration.

FIR is excellent for healing burns, scar tissue, and other skin problems.
