Questions

If your question isn’t here, just email me.

I’ve never done yoga. Can I come? +

Yes, please do. You don’t need to be flexible, strong or fit. With so few people in the room, I can adapt everything to suit you.

What kind of yoga is it? +

There are three. Hatha flow is breath-led: I explain what each pose is for and help you refine your alignment, so it works a little like personal training, and it can be gentle or more challenging. Yin is slower, with supported poses held for a few minutes. Chair yoga uses a chair for support, seated or standing. Every class finishes with a proper rest.

Is chair yoga for me? +

If getting down to the floor and up again is hard, or you’d like a gentler start, yes. Everything is done seated or standing, with a chair for support. Groups are four at most, and it’s available on request, so email me to arrange it.

How does pay as you feel work? +

There’s no set price for chair yoga. You pay whatever feels right for you.

When are classes, and how long are they? +

Sunday afternoons. Classes are 60 minutes. Yin and chair yoga are available on request, so email me if you’d like to join one.

What should I wear and bring? +

Comfy clothes you can move in, ideally layers. We practise in bare feet. Mats, bolsters, blocks and blankets are all here, but do bring your own mat if you prefer.

Should I eat before class? +

Best not to have a heavy meal just beforehand. A light snack an hour or so before is fine.

Where are the classes? +

In my home studio in Bearsden. I’ll email you the full address once you’ve booked.

What time should I arrive? +

About 5 minutes early, so you can settle in.

Why women only? +

It’s a private, relaxed space, and I want everyone to feel at ease in it.

I have an injury or health condition. Can I still come? +

Usually, yes. Let me know about any injuries or conditions before class, so I know what to look out for and can offer alternatives. If you’re recovering from surgery or unsure, check with your GP first, and feel free to email me.

Can I come if I’m pregnant? +

Please email me before booking so we can talk it through.

How do I book and pay? +

Hatha flow is booked online at bookwhen.com/yogawithshefali. Payment is by bank transfer, and I’ll send the details once you’ve booked. A single class is £12, or £40 for a block of four. For Yin and chair yoga, email me. Chair yoga is pay as you feel.

What if I can’t make it? +

Let me know at least 24 hours before, and I’ll move your booking to another Sunday.

Do you offer private sessions? +

Yes, for you on your own or with up to two friends. I’m also happy to put together bespoke classes for small groups. Email me and we’ll find a time.

Can I buy a gift voucher? +

Yes, for a single class, a block of four or a private session. I’ll email you a voucher to print or forward.
