Questions

 

STUDIO CLASSES

​

Are your classes in English?

Yes all our classes are held in English, we have a very international community. However many Finns are our clients. If you only speak Finnish some of our teachers are local and will help you in your own language.  We also speak, Swedish, Spanish and German.

 

Which classes are suitable for beginners?

If you are a beginner, we recommend starting with Purna Basics classes. You can start yoga and participate in our classes at any time. Suitable classes for beginners also include calmer yoga classes such as gentle yoga, restorative yoga and the Happy Friday class. During these lessons, you will get in touch with a yoga practice through soothing physical exercise.

 

Which classes are suitable while pregnant?

In principle, we always recommend prenatal yoga during pregnancy, there are weekly classes for 2nd and 3rd trimester and you can drop in to those anytime. However, if you already have a yoga background, you can join our weekly classes as you please. In this case we recommend gentle and or basics classes. You can also attend restorative classes. Be aware as during and after pregnancy the body’s supporting tissues are naturally more loose.

 

How do I prepare for a yoga class?

No special preparation for the lessons is required. However, we recommend eating well in advance of the start of the class. Eat about 1-2 hours before your arrival to the class. Do take a bottle for sipping water through the class.

 

What do I need to bring to the studio?

Wear comfortable clothing. Take a yoga mat if you own one. We also have mats at the studio, they are part of the 3x intro offer and drop in class. After that we rent them for 2€ per class. Yoga is done barefoot, anyhow bring warm clothes for the relaxation. 

 

How does the booking work?

Yes!

 

Do I need my own equipment?

Yes, you will need a yoga mat or some sort of carpet to practice on. You can replace a yoga block with books. Any belt or scarf works as a yoga belt, and pillows can be used as a bolster. But if you take your home practice serious we recommend to get yoga blocks and a yoga belt.

The live class is interrupted

When live streaming there is a small risk that something might not go as planned. If the connection is lost we will try to send a new link. We will always return the yoga session to you if you have not been able to enjoy your yoga class due to our technical problems.

 

I didn't get to join the class, can I do the lesson later?
