🧘‍♀️ Getting Started

I’ve never done yoga before — can I come?
Absolutely. Our classes are for every body and every level. You don’t need to be “ready” — just come as you are, and we’ll support you.

What classes do you offer?
We offer Hot Yoga, Bikram, Heated Pilates, and Yin- (Yin coming soon), plus regular workshops and community events throughout the year.

Where are you located?
We’re in the heart of Bellingen — Shop 3, 7a Church Street, Bellingen NSW 2454, just up the laneway behind the IGA. You’ll find easy street parking nearby.

🧺 Preparing for Class

What should I bring?
Bring a yoga mat, large towel, and water bottle. Mats and towels are available for hire soon. (waiting for shipment to arrive)

What should I wear?
Light, breathable clothing you can move freely in — think active wear you don’t mind getting sweaty in.

Do I need to book in advance?
Yes, please book online through our timetable to secure your spot. Walk-ins are welcome only if space allows.

How early should I arrive?
Arrive at least 10 minutes before class to check in, settle on your mat, and acclimatise to the heat.

Can I eat before class?
It’s best to avoid large meals right before class. A light snack 1–2 hours before is ideal.

🔥 During Class

How hot does it get?
Our infrared-heated studio ranges from 30–40°C, depending on the class style.

What if I feel unwell or need a break?
Listen to your body — take rest anytime in child’s pose or lying on your mat. Rejoin the class when you’re ready.

Can I wear lotions or perfume?
Please avoid heavy lotions (they can make you slippery) and strong fragrances, which may affect others in the room.

Can I leave early if I need to?
We ask that you stay for the full class to preserve the calm energy of the room. If you must leave, exit quietly before savasana, and let the teacher know prior to the class starts.

❤️ Health & Safety

I have an injury — can I still practice?
Yes, but please let your instructor know before class so we can suggest safe modifications.

Is hot yoga safe during pregnancy?
It’s best to check with your doctor first. Always let your instructor know if you’re pregnant — we’ll help you modify as needed.

Do you have showers or change rooms?
We have a bathroom, which has a toilet and sink and enough space to change clothes.
We DO NOT have showers. Alternatively, Bellingen is surrounded by beautiful fresh water swimming holes, highly recommend jumping in the river to cool off after your hot class.
