Health & Welfare Policy
Informing of any health issues:
You can but don’t have to advise me before commencing a session if, for any reason, your health or your ability to exercise changes (i.e. pregnancy, muscle soreness, joint pain, pulled muscles, minor injuries etc). You can inform your teacher if you feel any discomfort during a session. You can also inform the teacher if you felt any discomfort after a previous session.
Feeling Unwell:
If you feel unwell (cold, sickness etc) it may be best not to attend class. This is primarily for your safety and well-being and also for the well-being and health of other members of the class.
Personal Responsibility:
Please listen to your body, as your ability can vary from day to day depending on your well-being, fitness, stress levels & tiredness. Always practice in a way that feels good for you at that moment. You can always ask the teacher for adjustments.
If you have any doubts about the suitability of Yoga, you should contact your medical practitioner.
Pregnancy:
I currently do not offer pregnancy-specific yoga classes, I can refer you to a local prenatal yoga teacher. If you are pregnant and you want to attend a regular group class you can, but I will advise you to consult your doctor or midwife beforehand. I can provide some suitable adjustments. Please inform me, and check with a medical practitioner, when you are returning to yoga after childbirth.
Hands-on assists:
My group yoga classes & workshops don’t involve hands-on adjustments.
My 1:1 yoga sessions can involve some hands-on correction after the teacher get consent from a student which can be withdrawn at any time (please advise your teacher if you are uncomfortable with this).
