Why
do 'Yoga or Pilates at Work' rather than at the Gym?
We come to your office to eliminate travel
time at a time that fits in with
your busy schedule. Unlike a Yoga or Pilates class
at the gym, our class sizes are kept to
a minimum so you receive the instruction,
care and attention that you deserve!
You won't get lost in the crowd like at
the gym where it's not uncommon to have
60 people competing for the Instructor's
attention.
With Yoganic's careful instruction, participants
with varying levels of experience, flexibility
and fitness levels, pregnant women and
the injured can be catered for in a safe
and nurturing environment.
Unlike Yoga or Pilates instructors at the gym, our
instructor's qualifications are recognised
by the International Yoga Teacher's Association
(IYTA), we love what we do and
live and breathe a healthy Yogic lifestyle rather
than Yoga or Pilates just being a part of our repertoire.
What
if I have to miss a class?
If you know that you will be off- site for a few classes, you may pay pro- rata. That is, pay only for the classes that you plan to attend before the commencement of the course. If you have to miss a class during your course you may "sell" your place to a colleague and they may attend in your place or alternatively you may attend a class at our beautiful studio in Willoughby. For our current timetable click here. Please note that make up classes must be completed within the current course period.
Can
I attend classes on a casual basis?
Just like tennis, gymnastics, or dance
classes, the more you practise Yoga or Pilates, the
more progress you will make. To ensure
that you don't fall too far behind and
you get maximum value for your investment,
we encourage participants to sign- up
for a course.
What
if I'm a Beginner?
We pride ourselves in giving as much individual
attention to all our participants,
particularly Beginners. Your Instructor
will offer modifications of the postures
and is available before and after the
class to answer any questions you may
have regarding any of the postures you
have learnt. By request, we can organise
a Beginner's course at your Company.
What
if I'm not flexible?
Then Yoga or Pilates is just the thing for you! Many
people think that they need to be flexible
to do Yoga, but that's like thinking that
you need to be able to swim to take swimming
lessons. You will find that your flexibility
will improve over time with practice and
patience.
Do
I need my own mat?
For hygienic reasons, we recommend you bring your own mat. If you're doing a Taster Class and don't want to invest in a mat just yet, bring a towel. We have mats available for sale for only $25 (inc postage). Choice of colours are available. Please click
here to order. We don't recommend camping mats (which are often too thick and short) or towels in the long term as they're too slippery.
What
can I do if my mat is slippery or dirty?
If your mat is slippery or dirty, try
putting in your washing machine on a gentle
cycle and then hanging it out to dry on
the line.
Is it OK to attend Yoga and Pilates classes at work during Pregnancy?
If you're new to Yoga, have a history of miscarriages or undergoing IVF treatment, General Yoga isn't recommended in your first trimester. If you have prior Yoga experience, we encourage Yoga during all stages of your Pregnancy after seeking your Doctor's approval. We also offer 5 Prenatal yoga and one Prenatal pilates class at our studio in Willoughby. Please click here for a current timetable. If you would rather attend classes at work, we recommend a Private Session prior to commencing a general class so that Melissa can teach you the modifications and discuss any precautions. Pilates classes at work are not recommended during pregnancy.
