Frequently
Asked Questions
A little more clarity before you arrive
Whether you’re completely new to yoga, returning after some time away or simply new to Bliss Powered Yoga, we want your first visit to feel easy.
Below are answers to the questions we hear most often. If you need anything else, please contact us. We’ll be happy to help.
New to Bliss Powered Yoga?
-
First of all, welcome. You do not need previous experience or a certain level of flexibility to begin.
Please arrive 15 to 20 minutes before your first class. This gives you time to complete any outstanding waiver forms, check in, meet your teacher and settle into the space.
Bring a yoga mat, towel and non-breakable water bottle with a secure lid. Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move and breathe easily.
If you are pregnant or have an injury, medical condition or accessibility need, please speak with an appropriate healthcare professional and let your teacher know before class.
-
Do I need to be flexible?
Not at all. Flexibility is not a requirement for practising yoga.
There is no standard you need to meet before beginning and no particular way your practice needs to look. You are welcome to move at your own pace, choose different options and rest when needed.
-
Which classes are best for beginners?
Hatha, Yang/Yin, Yin and Restorative classes can be comfortable places to begin.
