Frequently Asked Questions

I am a beginner in Yoga, where do I start?

If you've never done yoga before, then we recommend joining one of our 75 Minute 'Beginners 101' courses- these are held bianually so check on the 'Workshops & Courses' section of the website. The 6 week course will introduce you to all aspects of 'yoga' from the philosophy to the physical. There will be plenty of space for you to ask questions and to meet other new beginners. After this course you will have the confidence to join in any of the classes offered at The Yoga Loft. Alternatively, if you cannot make the beginners class, we recommend a private yoga class to assess which group class you would be best suited to. If you would like to speak to us, please email info@theyogaloft.ch



Do I have to book in advance? How do I register and pay?

What do I need to wear for Yoga?

Wear comfortable gym clothes in which you can move well. Yoga is done barefoot, so please take off your shoes and put them next to the entrance in the shoes shelf as soon you enter the room.



Can I eat before Yoga?

Ideally, you should practice yoga on an empty stomach. If you’re eating a light meal prior to your yoga class, make it at least 1 to 2 hours, heavier meals roughly 3 to 4 hours beforehand. This should give your digestive system enough time to digest and you won’t feel uncomfortable during class.



Do I need a mat or bring anything with me?

Yoga mats are provided by The Yoga Loft along with any props you might need during class. Although if you come regularly to yoga classes, you might be more comfortable with having your own mat. You also might like to take a handtowel with you, as most likely you will sweat during class.



Can I park at The Yoga Loft?

Yes you can, there is designated parking...and much of it. You will never have a problem with parking. However, please park so as the boats can be removed from the hanger



What is the minimum age for attending a class/workshop/treatment at The Yoga Loft?

Children aged 14 or 15 may attend all other classes with a guardian who is over 16 at the class teacher’s discretion. If you would like to bring your 14 or 15 year old child to a class please contact the Yoga Loft that you plan to attend to confirm that the class is suitable.



When should I arrive for my class?

The studio will be open 5 minutes prior to your class. There is no waiting room so make sure not to arrive too early (especially in the winter)!



Is ther an Elevator?

There is no wheelchair access. There is a small staircase to climb to the studio



Do you have a Bathroom?
