Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What should I wear to class?

A: We recommend comfortable, breathable clothing that allows for a full range of motion. Think activewear that won't restrict your stretches or poses. Layers are also a good idea, so you can adjust as your body warms up. Yoga socks are optional; many practitioners prefer bare feet for better grip and connection to the mat, but if you prefer socks, look for ones with non-slip grips.

Q: Do I need to bring my own mat?

A: While Harmony Yoga Studio provides high-quality yoga mats for your convenience, we always encourage our students to bring their own for personal comfort and hygiene. Having your own mat can also deepen your personal practice. If you don't have one, feel free to use ours – they are regularly cleaned and sanitized.

Q: What if I'm new to yoga?

A: Welcome! We offer a variety of classes suitable for all levels, including absolute beginners. Our 'Gentle Flow' and 'Foundations of Yoga' classes are specifically designed to introduce you to basic poses, breathing techniques, and studio etiquette in a supportive environment. Our instructors are skilled at providing modifications for all levels, ensuring a safe and beneficial practice for everyone. Don't hesitate to arrive a few minutes early to chat with your instructor about any concerns.

Q: How early should I arrive for class?

A: We recommend arriving at least 10-15 minutes before your scheduled class time. This allows you ample time to check in, find a spot, set up your mat, and settle in before class begins. It also helps maintain a peaceful atmosphere for all students.

Q: How do I cancel my membership?

A: We understand that circumstances change. Memberships can be easily cancelled via your online account portal. Simply log in, navigate to 'My Membership', and follow the cancellation instructions. Alternatively, you can contact our friendly front desk team directly by phone at +44 161 456 7890 or email us at [email protected]. Please ensure you initiate the cancellation process at least 7 days before your next billing cycle to avoid being charged for the upcoming period.

Q: Can I pause or freeze my membership?

A: Yes, we offer membership pause options for a minimum of one month and a maximum of three months per year. This is ideal for vacations, business trips, or temporary medical reasons. Please contact our team at least 10 days in advance of the desired pause start date to arrange this. Standard terms and conditions apply.

Q: What payment methods do you accept?

A: We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) for both in-studio purchases and online transactions. For recurring memberships, payments are processed automatically via your chosen card. We do not accept cash for memberships, but cash is accepted for drop-in classes and retail items.

Q: Do you offer student or senior discounts?

A: Yes, Harmony Yoga Studio is committed to making yoga accessible. We offer special discounted rates for full-time students with a valid ID and for seniors aged 65 and over. Please inquire at the front desk or check our Membership & Pricing page for current offers and eligibility requirements.

Q: What equipment do I need for online classes?

A: For our online classes, you'll primarily need a stable internet connection and a device to stream from (computer, tablet, or smartphone). Ensure you have enough clear space around you to move freely. While not mandatory, props like a yoga mat, blocks, straps, and blankets are highly recommended to enhance your practice and provide support, just as they would in an in-studio class. You can often substitute household items if you don't have dedicated yoga props.

Q: How do I access live online classes?

A: Once you've signed up for an online class through our Online Platform, you'll receive a confirmation email with a unique link to join the live session via our chosen video conferencing platform (e.g., Zoom). We recommend logging in 5-10 minutes before class starts to ensure your setup is working correctly.

Q: Are online classes recorded?

A: Yes, most of our live online classes are recorded and made available in our On-Demand library for members of our Online Platform. This allows you to practice at your convenience if you miss a live session or wish to revisit a favorite class. Access to the On-Demand library is included with specific membership tiers.
