MORE INFO

If you’re new to Yoga 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 give us a buzz with any other questions you might have, we’re always happy to have a chat!

Why IS THE MAT ROOM WARM?

We heat our rooms using Infrared Heating at 25 degrees to help connective tissue within the body. At times you will notice that we turn the heat off in the room when the summer conditions don’t require us to artificially warm the room. Our aim is to keep the room at a temperature that promotes warmth as a great way of detoxing through the skin, biggest organ of our body, and to warm the body keeping it supple as well as increasing joint mobility and flexibility. At the end of a warm practice you feel mentally, spiritually and emotionally cleansed - a great way to balance a busy lifestyle. Don’t worry - it's not too hot, we keep it at a temperature that makes it feel like you are practicing on a tropical island not an oven!

What to bring?

Come to class on a fairly empty stomach, trying not to eat any heavy meals 2 – 3 hours prior and arrive well hydrated. If you feel hungry before class, have a piece of fruit.

Please arrive 15 mins before class to ensure that the class starts on time.

For Yoga you will need to bring a yoga mat and a bottle of water. We do have mats to purchase or borrow if you don’t already have one.

For Reformer we ask you to bring your grippy socks, for hygiene and safety, and a water bottle. We have grippy socks available to purchase if you need a pair.  

Are there Levels in classes?

All our classes are suitable for beginners. However, for anyone newer to yoga or a little nervous to attend yoga we would recommend Restore, Slow Flow or Yin as a great place to start.  

Our Reformer classes are open to all levels.

So be brave, give it a try and challenge yourself to grow.

I am pregnant, which classes should I attend?

Ebb & Flow advises you to check with your GP or Obstetrician before attending our classes. especially if you are new to Yoga or Reformer.

 How often should I practice?

Once a day or as often as you like, but remember to listen to your body. It is not unusual for committed students to practice 5-6 times a week but the intensity of their practice would vary to suit the energetic needs of the body each day. Slowing down and listening to your body’s intuition to guide you is part of the journey. If you’re cross training with other sports then practicing 2-3 times a week would offer great benefit.
