We also recommended to avoid eating a heavy meal at least 1-2 hours before your class starts, that way your body has energy for movement versus your energy being drawn to digestion.  If you have any queries around this, please feel free to ask.

What to Wear:
Any type of yoga-fitness clothing; leggings/tights, tank tops, t-shirts anything that is easy to move in and feels comfortable. No footwear is worn during our Be. Flowing classes.

Arrival Time & Warm Up:
Please - arrive early to allow yourself time (5-10 minutes) to set up your movement space and most importantly to not miss our arrival opening ceremony. 

Welcomed & Embraced:
The core essence of all our programs is that you feel warm, embraced and supported in your movement journey.  We want that during our classes you may enjoy the joy, warmth and friendship of other like-minded individuals.  Therefore, we have a ‘no-judgement’ and ‘non-competitive’ policy.  Meaning there are no mistakes, there is no perfection in movement, your opinions are valued, and you may laugh, cry, express yourself, or be quietly reflective.  We ask that you are kind and respectful to everyone joining our classes. 

If this is your first class with us, be kind to yourself. Rest when you need to and listen to your body.  We believe in allowing you the space and comfort to listen to your body by working at a pace that feels comfortable to you! If something doesn’t feel right for you, sit back and take the time to simply observe.  Maybe next time that movement flow sequence will feel right for you to try.  You are welcome to ask questions and talk to your instructor about any concerns you may have.  Your ‘Flow Class’ is essentially a journey of self-discovery.  It really is your own personal journey and no one else’s.

Our intention is that you leave all our classes feeling welcomed and cherished for who you are ~ 'Beautifully You’.

CLASS FAQ'S

Here are a few questions we quite often get asked that you may find useful …

Do I have to be flexible, fit or strong to participate in a ‘Flow’ class?
You do not need to be any of these to practice movement flow just as you don’t have to be muscular or fit to go to the gym. It is the practice of movement flow itself that helps you build flexibility, stability and strength. Rest assured, it’s not a prerequisite. Come as you are!

Can I participate in one of your classes if I have a medical condition?
If you have medical clearance from your doctor for a current medical condition, then you can go ahead and practice in one of our classes. Otherwise, we suggest you consult your doctor first. That said, many students with injuries, back problems, hypertension, asthma, etc find relief in their movement flow practice. Make sure you inform your instructor of any medical condition you have so personalized instructions may be given to you.

What happens if Covid has caused a level 3 or 4 lockdown?
In the case of a lockdown of level 3 or 4, classes are run through our online Zoom platform.  That means you can still join us from the comfort of your home.  We are happy to help guide you with set-up, so you can join our online sessions with ease.  At first it may seem a little strange to join online classes, but we know from experience you will soon come to love it.
