That's like saying you are too dirty to take a shower! You don't need to be flexible, promise! Yoga is for all bodies. We encourage everyone to start as they are, do as much as they feel able, and with practice you will find it getting easier in your body. You can start exactly as you are. Trust us, we all had to start somewhere!

Everyone is welcome here—regardless of faith, background, age, gender, sexuality, culture, or ability. We are committed to holding space that is warm, inclusive, and kind. Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated. YOU are welcome here.

Yes—absolutely. All our classes are open to all genders, with the exception of pregnancy and postnatal sessions which are limited to those who are or have been pregnant. You're truly welcome here.

Yes—beginners are very welcome at Sarvāṅga. Most of our classes are open to all levels, and each teacher will offer options to support you throughout. We encourage you to do as much or as little as feels right in your body. You can check our class descriptions for guidance—classes that are slower-paced or grounding are often a good place to begin. We also run Beginners Workshops at regular intervals, which offer more step-by-step support in a small group setting. We don’t recommend starting with our most dynamic or physically demanding Flow sessions, if you are quite new to exercise or guided movement, but everything is open for you to explore. If you’re unsure where to start, just reach out—we’re happy to help you find your footing.

Quite probably, we have lots of different class types and teachers, including Somatic movement which is often perfect for injured bodies. Please contact us and we can help to advise the best option for you. You may like to consider a 1-2-1 to asses your needs.

Not at all. Many of our students come to yoga to feel stronger, calmer, or more at home in their body. We welcome complete beginners and offer a range of classes to support you, wherever you're starting from.

Rest is not a luxury—it’s a vital part of healing and integration. In every class, we make time for deep rest, silence, or meditation. These moments are essential, not extra.

Where possible, we choose materials that are natural, ethically sourced, and environmentally responsible—like hemp bolsters, wool sheepskins, and organic cotton props. We also use environmentally friendly, refillable cleaning products to care for our space without harming the planet. This isn’t just an aesthetic choice; it’s a reflection of our values. Yoga teaches ahimsa—non-harming—and invites us to live in greater harmony with ourselves, each other, and the Earth. Practising in alignment with these principles means considering how our everyday choices affect the wider web of life. We’re not perfect, but we are committed to doing our best—choosing quality over excess, simplicity over waste, and integrity over convenience.

We don’t currently offer free classes, but we do have a great way to begin: Our New Student Intro Offer gives you up to 10 classes in 21 days for just £30—a generous way to explore the space and find what suits you best. You're also welcome to attend on a pay-as-you-go basis. There’s no need to commit to a membership until it feels right for you.

Yes—all classes, events, and workshops must be booked and paid for online before attending. This helps us prepare the space and ensures your spot is held.

We’re not able to offer discounts on set-date courses, as these are priced as complete offerings with limited spaces. If you're looking for more flexibility, you might find what you need in our regular class schedule—most classes are available on a pay-as-you-go basis, with no commitment required.

Yes, I do offer private lessons at the studio or online. We have a wonderful team of talented teachers in our studio community, please email us to enquire.

We’re not able to offer trial sessions for children’s courses, as places are limited and must be booked in full to confirm. If you're curious about whether your child will enjoy yoga, you’re very welcome to try one of our Family Yoga sessions, which run frequently and are open to all.

Our classes are designed as quiet, focused spaces for adult practice, so we’re not able to accommodate children in regular sessions. Older teens aged 13+ are welcome to attend classes with certain members of our team who are appropriately trained and insured, with a participating adult, as long as they’re comfortable joining the full class. Please email us to enquire. If you're looking for yoga to enjoy with your child, take a look at our Family Yoga and Children’s Yoga offerings instead.

Yes you will need your own yoga mat. You may like to bring a blanket, a strap and a block with you (don't worry about this, all props are optional). Mats can be purchased in studio for £25.

We provide everything you’ll need—mats, blocks, straps, bolsters, cushions, and blankets are all available to use at no extra cost. If you have your own mat or props that you prefer, you’re very welcome to bring them. We also recommend bringing a bottle of water, and wearing layered clothing that’s comfortable to move and rest in. No shoes are worn in the studio, so you may also want to bring socks if you tend to get cold during stillness.

Studio Etiquette Simple ways to honour the space and each other We ask all students to observe the following guidelines to help keep our studio calm, clean, and supportive for everyone. – Arrive early – We recommend arriving 5–10 minutes before class begins so you have time to settle in. – Wait to be welcomed in – Your teacher will open the door when the space is ready. Please wait outside quietly if a class or cleaning is still in progress. – Eat lightly beforehand – We suggest avoiding heavy meals for at least 2 hours before class. A light snack is fine if needed. – Phones off – Please turn off your phone before entering the studio. Silent mode and vibrate still cause disruption. – Shoes off at the door – You’re welcome to wear socks inside, but no shoes please. – Stay home if unwell – To care for our community, please don’t attend if you have any signs of illness. – Let us know if you need support – Always let your teacher know about injuries or concerns before class. – Fill from the back – Please take the furthest available mat space and position your mat with care. This helps everyone remain comfortably spaced. – Stay on your mat – Once class begins, try to stay present and avoid leaving the space unless absolutely necessary. – And lastly… breathe, relax, and know that you’re welcome just as you are.

We practice without mirrors to encourage inner awareness rather than outer appearance. Our space is designed to help you feel into your body, not fixate on it.

No we do not currently have a teacher training programme.

Studio hire is available for qualified and insured instructors offering practices related to wellbeing, healing, or spiritual development. We do not hire the space for classes that would directly compete with our regular timetable (see our classes and events pages). However, we’re happy to consider one-off workshops or offerings that differ from our current schedule. All venue hire is managed through our events arm, SomaSoul. For hire enquiries, please visit our Venue Hire page.

We may not always be actively hiring, but we do welcome thoughtful applications to join our approved teachers list. Approved teachers may be invited to cover classes and are considered first when new opportunities arise. Teaching at Sarvāṅga requires more than certification—it asks for alignment with our values, a commitment to steady practice, and the ability to teach with depth, clarity, and care. Minimum requirements: – 200+ hours of teacher training – At least 2 years of consistent teaching experience (preferred) – Attendance at Sarvāṅga classes to understand our space and community – A working knowledge of yoga philosophy (e.g., the 8 Limbs, Yoga Sūtras), and the ability to integrate pranayama and meditation into all classes – Confidence teaching to varied abilities within a class. – Applicants must be able to lead in both stillness and strength, from both training and personal experience If you meet the above, please email hello@sarvanga.co.uk with: – A short introduction – Teaching qualifications and experience – Classes attended at Sarvāṅga – Why you feel aligned with our space If shortlisted, we may invite you to a phone interview and a short teaching demo in the studio. For those applying to teach more than one style (e.g. Yin and Vinyasa), we may request separate demos.

We may be able to offer limited observation opportunities to trainee teachers who are part of our studio community. You're very welcome to attend a few classes to get a sense of the space, then speak with us after class or reach out via email to introduce yourself and share a bit about your training. As we don’t run a teacher training programme, we’re not able to offer assisting roles or permit trainee teachers to adjust students during class.
