I want to join a class. Do i need to book online?
You can join a class without booking online, but please arrive 15 minutes before because signing-in and payments are done before the beginning of the class. Nevertheless, we should let you know that some of our schedules are sometimes full and booking online (and pre-paying your drop-in) is the only way to assure your spot.
HOW DO i know if i have a spot in a class?
Simply make a reservation through the website. If the class is fully booked, the reservation system will not accept any more bookings.
can i pay for the drop-in class in person?
Yes, you can. However, without the pre-payment of the drop-in we cannot guarantee your spot in the class in case the maximum number of students is reached. All information about payment methods can be found in the email confirming the booking made through the website. We do not accept payment cards in the studio.
can i pay with a payment card at the studio?
We do not accept payment cards at the studio. Drop-in classes must be paid digitally in advance (all information about payment methods can be found in the email confirming the booking made through the website). Payments made in person at the studio must be made in cash.

i'm a beginner. should i choose a specific schedule or style of yoga?
Not necessarily. All of our styles of yoga are "beginner-friendly" as we adapt the poses and exercises to the specific condition of each student.
what clothes should i wear in class?
Bring comfortable, light and cool clothing that does not impede movement.
what materials should i bring to class?
If you have your own yoga mat, you are welcome to bring it. Otherwise, don't worry, we have all the materials you need: mats, bolsters, blocks, belts, blankets and other. You can use these materials free of charge.
does the studio have a shower?
No, it doesn't, since it is not advised to take a shower immediately after the practice. The studio has two changing rooms and a toilet.
can i eat and drink before the class?
The yoga practice should be done on empty stomach. Therefore, you should avoid eating at least 3 hours before the class.
Although keeping the body hydrate is important, you should avoid drinking immediately before and during the practice. The practice of asanas during the class activates an inner fire in the body that helps to cleanse and purify it. By drinking water during the practice you are not only distracting the mind but also interfering with that cleasing process and with the energy generated by it.
