Q: How do I book a friend with my Monthly Guest pass?
A: Just e-mail kontakt@alvanda.se and let us know what class you would like to bring your friend to.
Q: Do you offer class Bundles?
A: Yes! Our flexible class bundles include:
5-classes bundle: 1,200kr (valid 6 months)
10-classes bundle: 2,200kr (valid 9 months)
20-classes bundle: 4,200kr (valid 12 months)
Extending the date of your old class package is only possible if you purchase a new class package. Then we will extend the validity of your old class package by 3 months.
Q: Is everything on the schedule included in my membership?
A: All regular classes on the schedule are included. Workshops, courses and events are not included.
Q: I am not able to use all of my classes in my Monthly membership. Can I transfer them to the next month?
A: Unused classes do not roll over to the next month. We encourage you to use your classes regularly to get the most value from your membership and to maintain consistency in your practice. If you find you're not using all your classes, consider downgrading to a tier that better fits your schedule or use Class Bundles.
Q: I'm a current Bronze/Silver/Gold member. What happens to my membership?
A: Great news – you can keep your current membership at your existing price for as long as you want! We're grandfathering all existing members. If you'd like to switch to one of our new membership tiers, please let us know, and we'll help you find the perfect fit.
Q: Can I upgrade or downgrade my membership?
A: Absolutely! You can change your membership tier anytime. Upgrades take effect immediately, and downgrades take effect at your next billing cycle. Just email us at kontakt@alvanda.se or speak with us at the studio.
Q: What's the difference between a membership and a Class Bundles?
A:
Memberships renew automatically each month, include some special perks, and offer better value per class (as low as 100kr/class).
Class cards are one-time purchases that expire after 6-12 months, don't include member perks, and cost more per class (210-240kr/class).
Memberships are perfect if you want to practice regularly and be part of our community. Class cards are great for occasional visitors or if you travel frequently.
Q: I'm new to yoga. Which membership is right for me?
A: Welcome! We recommend starting with our 8-week Beginners Course to learn the foundations in a supportive, closed-group setting. After completing the course, the 1X WEEK membership is perfect for continuing your practice – it gives you one weekly class plus a bonus class each month, which is ideal for building a sustainable habit without overwhelming yourself. You can always upgrade to 2X WEEK or 3X WEEK when you want to deepen your practice further.
Classes & Practice
Q: What should I bring to class?
A: Just bring yourself and comfortable clothing! We provide:
Free yoga mat rentals
All necessary props (blocks, straps, bolsters, blankets)
Lockers for your belongings (bring your own lock or purchase at reception for 90kr)
Q: Which class is right for beginners?
A: We recommend starting with:
Yoga for beginners course, if you are completely new to yoga and want to learn the technique and build strength and conditioning gradually
Slow Flow for a gentle physical yoga class that anyone can attend
Yin Yoga for deep relaxation, no previous experience required
If you are used to following movement instructions, are a quick learner and are in reasonably good physical shape, you can also attend Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa Flow classes. All our experienced teachers offer modifications, and you are always free to rest in child’s pose when needed.
Q: When do I need to arrive at the studio?
A: You need to arrive 5-15 minutes before class starts.
Q: What happens if I arrive late to a class?
A: We have a strict policy that doors close just before class starts.
So we recommend that you arrive a minimum of 5 minutes before class starts to make sure you have time to enter the studio and get your place on the mat before class starts punctually. If you arrive late and are therefore not able to attend, you will not get refunded.
Q: How do I cancel my membership?
A: You can cancel anytime with no penalties or fees on your pages at www.alvanda.se. You can can also email us at kontakt@alvanda.se before your next billing date, and we'll process your cancellation. We'll be sad to see you go, but we understand life changes, and you are of course always welcome back! 🙏
We do not refund membership fees drawn if you cancel after your monthly payment.
