Beginners

What you need to know

Arrive early – please arrive 15-20 minutes before class commences to allow time to register. Bookings are not required.
Come prepared – avoid eating for 2 hours before class, and ensure that you are hydrated (drink plenty of water).
Bring with you – a yoga mat, large towel and a bottle of water for class.*
Wear appropriate clothing – we recommend light-fitting, comfortable clothing. The yoga room is HOT, so avoid wearing long pants and heavy t-shirts.
No bookings required

* Yoga mats and towels are available for hire ($1 hire mats, $2 hire towels), and bottles of water are available to purchase.

Only your yoga mat, towel and water may be brought into the yoga room.
Remain silent in the yoga room. Bikram yoga is a 90-minute moving meditation, so please respect others by remaining silent.
Please avoid wearing any strong perfumes or deodorants. Showers/change rooms are available should you require them before and after class.
Try to stay in the room for the full 90-minute class, as leaving distracts others. Only leave the room in the case of an emergency.

Beginners practice at the back of the room. This allows you to watch other, more experienced students if you are unsure of a posture.
It is normal to feel a bit dizzy, nauseous or light-headed when you first start practicing Bikram yoga. Don’t be afraid to take a break and kneel down if needed.
Try not to feel self-conscious – remember in yoga there is no comparison with anyone except yourself. Aim to do the best that you can.
Your first class will be your hardest. Try to take your second class within 24 hours and practice as much as you can during your introductory offer.
