Why
do 'Yoga 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 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 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 Yogic lifestyle rather
than Yoga 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, just let us know the dates prior to the course start date and then you only pay for the classes that you plan to attend as long as you pay the course fee upfront. If you have to miss a class during your 8- week course you may "sell" your place to a colleague and they may attend in your place or alternatively you may attend a class on an alternate day during the current course period if there is one available at your Company. If there is only 1 class a week offered at your Company, then unfortunately you will have to forgo the class if you can't find a replacement. This is an incentive to do your best to make it to all the classes so that you get maximum value for your investment.
Can
I attend classes on a casual basis?
Just like tennis, gymnastics, or dance
classes, the more you practise Yoga, 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 an 8- week course. Over 8- weeks you
will learn a sequence and each week new
postures will be introduced building upon
those explored in the previous week.
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 Yoga 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 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 Yoga mat?
For hygienic reasons, we recommend you bring your own Yoga mat. If you're doing a Taster Class and don't want to invest in a mat just yet, bring a towel. We have Yoga mats available for sale for only $25 (choice of colours 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 do Yoga during Pregnancy?
If you have prior Yoga experience, we
encourage Yoga during all stages of your
Pregnancy after seeking your Doctor's
approval. If you're new to Yoga, have
a history of miscarriages or undergoing
IVF treatment, General Yoga isn't recommended
in your first trimester. Melissa has extensive
experience in Prenatal Yoga and offers
Private Sessions
and Public Classes.
We recommend a Private Session prior to
commencing a general class so that Melissa
can teach you the modifications and discuss
any precautions.
