Standing poses and floor breathing. Nothing carried over from the week before, so a first visit is fine.
Mat work at a walking pace, with the instructor naming each transition before you make it.
Hips, spine and shoulders opened slowly. Useful if you sit at a desk most of the day.
A quieter evening session with longer holds and one block of guided breathing at the end.

04 / Instructors
Every intro class is led by one of two teachers, never by a rotating substitute. Both hold current certifications and both teach the Intro level themselves, so week one and week eight are guided by the same pair of hands.

05 — Questions
The six answers we repeat most often at the studio door. For anything else, call +380 969 348 2699 or read the weekly timetable first.
No. Intro classes are beginner-only groups capped at 12, and the instructor opens each session with a short movement assessment so nobody is asked to do something their body is not ready for. Props, blocks and straps are always available.
One 50-minute beginner session, first visit only, one per person, booked in advance and subject to availability. No card details are taken and no membership is required afterwards.
Comfortable clothes you can bend in, bare feet or grip socks, and a water bottle. Mats and small props are provided and wiped down between classes, so there is nothing to buy before your first visit.
Speak to us before booking. Gentle Start is usually the right entry point, and we ask for your clinician's clearance where relevant. Instructors offer regressions at every step, and you are always free to rest.
Cancel at least 4 hours before the start time and the class returns to your pack. Packs carry a published validity window and expiry date, shown in full on our pricing terms. No payment is taken online.
Pick a time from the weekly timetable at 07:30, 12:30, 19:00 or 20:15, then send a booking request through the booking form. We reply within one working day to confirm your place.
