Membership Questions
How do the ‘INTRO offers’ work?
Intro Offers are for NEW students only, to help them see how much yoga they can fit into their week – this will then inform which membership suits them best! The offer will run from the date of your first visit onwards for 14 days. Our Intro Offers are only for NEW students who have not visited the studio before. If you have already been to our classes you will not be able to purchase the Introductory pass on your account. We are able to track accounts which need to be merged, so please note if you create a second account for this offer you will be charged for a month of Gold membership at £68, which offers the same access to class.
What counts for pension/ retired/ unwaged/ STUDENT documentation?
Any authentic documentation which is evidential of you being categorised as one of the above.
What is the difference between the memberships options?
Please see all info on classes and membership here.
Can I carry my Silver passes over?
No, a Silver membership entitles you to 2 classes/week which cannot be carried over (this may appear as 10 passes maximum for the 5 week months, but is not indicative of a 10 class pass). This is a Membership, not a Class Pass – we do offer a Class Pass of 5 classes which can be used over 2 months at your leisure. Our Memberships are designed to create commitment and routine for our members, whereas the 5 Class Pass offers flexibility and freedom of attendance. We have seen in the past, if we don’t make our Memberships weekly, students tend to get out of their regular weekly practice and end up cramming classes at the end of the month. This is a problem with class capacity, and means student’s practices becomes monthly rather than weekly. This is also applicable to our Bronze Membership.
I have a monthly membership so why can’t I book into class?
Usually this is because you have exceeded the amount of classes that your membership allows that week – this includes waitlists. It could also be because you have debt on your account above £20 and so your account may be blocked. See steps below to pay off account debt.
Can I pause my membership for holiday?
We cannot ‘pause’ memberships for any other reason than medical reasons. Memberships are 3-month contracts – you would need to wait until the 3rd month after your most recent payment and then request to cancel your contract. You cannot simply remove your card from the account as the charge will accumulate as debt on your account. If you do not want to be tied into a 3-monthly contract (which offers the discounted class rate), a class pass is available at a slightly higher class rate.
Can I pause my membership for illness/injury?
If you have a signed doctors note that you can share with us you can cancel your membership and restart the membership when you are ready to come back to class. Memberships can only be renewed 3-monthly, you will not be refunded mid month as stated in T&C’s online and at point of purchase. You cannot ‘pause’ your membership for illness, injury, holiday or any other reason without medical signature.
Can I practice yoga if I have a bad back?
Please seek advice from your doctor to see whether you should be practicing yoga. If you are told that it will be helpful for your injury by a medical professional we can help you modify in class, but we are not responsible if you decide to practice in class under injury.
Should I practice yoga if I have a cold/flu/bug?
We do ask that if you are sick you take rest. It is usually your bodies way of asking you to rest, and we want to avoid making other students ill in the studio and spread the illness further.
If I have a heart/cardiovascular condition what do I do?
Please seek advice from your doctor to see whether you should be practicing yoga. If you have any current or history of heart or cardiovascular conditions it is your responsibility to let us know, and to share a letter of consent to practice yoga signed by your doctor.
