Enquiries and bookings
Information on this website is an invitation to enquire, not a confirmed offer or booking. A booking is confirmed only when we have agreed the session details in writing. Before confirmation, I will provide the price, date, time, location, payment arrangements, cancellation terms and any other conditions that apply to that particular class or event.
Taking part safely
- Choose the options that feel appropriate for your body and experience.
- Stop if you feel pain, dizziness, faintness or become unwell.
- Tell me before the session about an injury, pregnancy, recent birth, health condition or accessibility need that may affect safe participation.
- Seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional if you are unsure whether yoga is suitable for you.
No yoga practice can be completely free of risk. Guidance and adaptations support participation, but you remain responsible for listening to your body and choosing whether to take part.
