FAQ
GENERAL
I’m Pregnant can I attend?
Here at Asha Yoga we believe pregnancy is part of life and should be included in all classes. Our instructors are trained in how to adapt each posture to make it accessible and safe for you and your precious cargo.
We require a medical release from your GP/OBGYN prior to commencement of any classes, and for Pilates classes new students from 18 weeks pregnant require a private 60min class prior to the first group Pilates class. All pre-natal students with a medical release can attend all yoga and meditation classes, please arrive 10min prior to class to talk with your teacher. Yoga, meditation and Pilates during pregnancy is a wonderful experience please contact us for more information about how we can cater for your individual needs.

Non-participating children cannot attend classes. Children who are able to actively participate in a full 60 minute general class can attend with an adult. Children’s pricing options can be found here: https://ashayoga.com.au/pricing/
My primary-aged child has special needs can they attend the kid yoga course?
Our kids yoga teacher has specialist training and experience in Autism, Anxiety and Sensory Processing issues in children. Classes are limited to 10 kids per class and may be covered with NDIS funding depending on your plan management. Please email welcome@ashayoga.com.au with any further queries.
I’ve never done yoga before where should I start?
Here at Asha Yoga, all classes are suitable for beginners. Classes that are easier to start with are the slower classes as they give your brain time to learn and apply the information. Try Yin for the slowest paced class, or a Slow Flow yoga class for more of a flowing style including strength and balance. Pilates is also a great place to start! Find a time that suits your schedule and let the teacher know any physical limitations you may have prior to class. They will modify the class to tailor to your strength and experience level. Private classes are available for anyone wanting some extra individual instruction. Want to learn the foundational posture prior to attending a group class?
