Frequently Asked Questions
New to Alvanda?
I’m completely new to yoga. Can I join?
Absolutely! Many of our students started with no previous yoga experience. We recommend our Yoga for Beginners Course, Soft Vinyasa Flow, Soft Morning Flow, or Yin Yoga, but every class includes options for different experience levels.
Which class is right for beginners?
We recommend starting with our 8-Week Yoga for Beginners Course, Soft Morning Flow, Soft Vinyasa Flow, or Yin Yoga. As your confidence grows, Hatha Yoga, Morning Flow, Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow are wonderful next steps.
I’ve never been to a yoga studio before. What should I expect?
Expect a warm welcome, a relaxed atmosphere, and absolutely no pressure to perform. Our teachers encourage you to move at your own pace and take breaks whenever you need. Whether you’re joining your first class or your thousandth, you’re welcome exactly as you are.
Hygiene & Fragrance Guidelines
Yoga is a shared practice, and many of our classes involve close proximity and conscious breathing. To help create a comfortable environment for everyone, we kindly ask that you arrive clean and freshly showered whenever possible.
If you’re coming straight from work, the gym, or another activity, you’re very welcome to use our bathrooms to freshen up before class.
Please avoid wearing perfume, cologne, or other strong fragrances. While they may seem pleasant, strong scents can be distracting or trigger sensitivities for other students, especially during breathing and meditation practices.
Good personal hygiene is always appreciated, and washing with soap is much kinder to those around you than covering body odour with fragrance.
Thank you for helping us create a calm, fresh, and welcoming space for everyone. 💚
Is there an age limit?
We recommend our regular classes for ages 16 and above unless otherwise stated.

Do I need to be flexible?
Not at all. Flexibility is something you develop through practice—not something you need before you start.
What should I bring to class?
Just bring comfortable clothes and a water bottle if you’d like. We provide mats, props, and lockers (bring your own lock or buy one at reception).
Are yoga mats included?
We provide premium yoga mats, blocks, bolsters, straps, blankets, and all other props free of charge.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely. Bare feet are recommended.
Do I need to book in advance?
We recommend booking in advance, especially for evening and weekend classes, as they often fill up.
Are classes taught in English?
Yes. All of our regular classes are taught in English, and everyone is welcome.
When should I arrive?
Please arrive 5–15 minutes before class so you have time to settle in. For the comfort of everyone in the room, the studio doors are locked when class begins and late entry isn’t possible.
What if I arrive late?
Doors close when class starts. Late arrivals cannot be admitted or refunded.
What if a class is full?
Join the waiting list. As soon as a place becomes available, you’ll automatically be added to the class and notified by email.
Can I shower after class?
Yes. Our changing room and shower is available for all students. You’re welcome to shower after class, and the facilities remain open for 15 minutes after the class ends so you have time to freshen up before heading home or back to work.
