Absolutely. If you need to leave the room during class you’re welcome to. There are benches right outside the doors. Come back and join in whenever you’re ready.

Most students see the benefits of a regular practice with at least 2-3 classes per week.

For yoga, barre and mat pilates classes, bring a yoga mat, large towel (for hot yoga and hot pilates only, big enough to cover most of your mat), and water. Don’t worry if you forget something, we rent and sell these items. We have women’s, men’s and a private universal change room that include showers and washrooms.

For reformer pilates classes, grippy socks are required. Bring them if you have them or purchase in studio.

Particularly for the hot classes: hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Aim to drink an additional liter of water the day before your first class. Avoid heavy meals or drinking lots of liquids in the 2-3 hours before class. A light snack an hour before is great.

For all classes, plan to arrive at least 10 minutes before class to get a quick orientation and get yourself set up. Expect to stay for the duration of class.

For yoga and hot pilates bring a yoga mat and a towel to cover the entire length of your mat.

For reformer pilates bring grippy socks or purchase in studio.

Easy, take your mat with you when you leave the hot room and spray it down with the provided disinfecting mat spray. Rental mats can then be hung on the racks. Most students roll up their personal mats and then hang them at home. The mat towel will absorb a lot of the sweat and keep your mat cleaner.
