Help! I've never been to a studio before! Studio Etiquette Guide:~Please arrive on time, 5-10 minutes before class begins is ideal, so you have time to settle in. ~Doors will be opened once your teacher is ready to let you in. Please wait for the doors to be unlocked. Before this cleaning or another class may be in progress. ~We recommend not eating for 2 hours before class or eating only very light foods. ~Turn off mobile phones before entering the studio - please do not leave on ring or vibrate. ~Please remove your shoes at the door. ~Please follow all Covid safety precautions ~Please do not attend the studio if you have any signs of illness. ~Please inform your teacher or any injuries or concerns before class begins. ~Please take the furthest available mat space. Place your mat within the marked lines. Spaces are measured for all participants and teachers to remain distanced from each other. ~Please avoid leaving your mat once class has begun. ~You will need to bring your own yoga mat. You may also like to bring a blanket. ~If you do not have a mat you can buy one from us for £25. ~Relax - you'll be fine :)

How do I apply to teach at the studio?We may not be actively hiring but we welcome applications to join our approved teachers list. Approved teachers will have opportunities to cover classes at the studio and are offered teaching opportunities before we look elsewhere. Teaching standards and community understanding are vital to our ethos and we have a strict application process. Teachers must have a minimum of 200 hours training and preferred 2 years active teaching experience and should have attended classes at the studio before applying. This is to ensure you have a good understanding of our community, teaching styles and to demonstrate a commitment to practice and continued learning. As we are a Vinyasa centred studio we do prefer all applicants have training or CPD in Vinyasa or a similarly dynamic style (ie ashtanga, rocket, power) or are able to demonstrate lengthly personal practice and high competency in teaching in a dynamic style alongside your other preferred styles. We also expect all teachers to be able to demonstrate understanding of and an ability to teach with reference to traditional yoga philosophy (ie the sutras / 8 limbs and similar) and are able to include pranayama and meditation in any and all classes. If you meet these requirements please submit an email to rebecca@sarvanga.co.uk detailing your teaching qualifications, experience, studio classes you have attended and why you feel you would be a good fit for our studio. From here if our minimum requirements are met a phone interview and 20 minute teaching demonstration via Zoom will be arranged. If applying to teach in more than one style (ie yin and vinyasa) you may be ask to give a 20 min demo per style. If you make it through to our final stage a demo class in-studio may be arranged with a senior team member and/or focus group who will provide feedback to the studio director before any final decision is made.
-
Can I hire the studio for my yoga classes?Venue hire is permitted to qualified and insured instructors for wellbeing and related activities. We do not hire the space out for classes which would directly compete with classes already offered at the studio (ie vinyasa/hatha/yin style yoga classes, pilates classes etc) but hire will be considered for any wellbeing, spiritual or fitness activity which differs enough from our current offering or which is run as a workshop rather than weekly class. Venue hire is not arranged via Sarvanga but via our events arm SomaSoul. Please feel welcome to contact Rebecca at SomaSoul with your requests.
-
Do you offer Yoga Teacher Training?No we do not currently have a teacher training programme.
-
I am a trainee teacher, can I come to observe / assist in your classes?"Where possible we may permit trainee teachers within the studio community to observe classes so you are welcome to attend some of our classes to see if we might be a good fit for you, then have a chat with us after class or send us an email with a little about you and your training. As we do not offer a training programme we are unable to allow trainee teachers to assist / adjust students during classes.
