Frequently asked questions...

Please do get in touch if you have a question that is not answered here:

Q. I'm not a biker, can I still come?

A. Of course! Although the emphasis is for bikers, everyone is welcome. Other groups that this may particularly suit include cyclists, climbers and kyakers, through to people who sit at desks or drive for prolonged periods.

Q. So do you you do the yoga on the bike?

A. I personally use a lot of yoga whilst I'm riding - watching my posture, flexing muscles and joints, using balance, using the breath techniques to help me in tight situations and to keep me warm. But I teach the class in a studio, much the same as any other yoga class, so you don't need to bring a bike, or worry about the weather!

Q: Don't you have to be really bendy to do yoga?

A: no, not at all. Yoga will help you to become more supple over time though.

Q Aren't I a bit old for all that now?

A. People have successfully taken up yoga for the first time in their 60s and 70s and beyond - it's never too late to start!

Q. I've got a problem with my ..... so will I be able to do it?

A. That depends. There are lots of different variations and adaptations that can be used to help people with specific issues. A good teacher should be able to provide alternatives or adaptations of postures to help people to work within their own capabilities. Please contact me in person if you have a specific issue that you would like to discuss further.

Q. I'm pregnant, is this class going to be ok for me?

A. Yoga is very good for people who are pregnant, and there are many benefits. It is generally recommended that ladies have an established practice prior to the pregnancy to maximise the benefits. I do not specialise in yoga for pregnancy, and would suggest that you contact a class that focuses specifically on this, unless you have a strong existing practice that you are comfortable with

Q. Do I need my own mat?

A. Depending on the place that I'm running sessions at, sometimes I am able to provide mats, and sometimes I ask people to bring their own. Please check the details for the session you are attending. If you do need to bring something, it does not need to be a specific yoga mat, a thin camping roll mat will do fine as well.
