Frequently Asked Questions
What is Yoga?
Yoga is for everyone – whether you are looking for fitness, flexibility or strength. A mindful practice or more challenging flow can let you find a deeper connection between mind, body and even spirit.
What is Yoga with Yasmin?
I offer an exciting and varied timetable of 12 classes a week from Fit Yoga, Toning Yoga, to Chill Out Yoga…covering all areas of health and fitness. A real yogic union of mind and body from beginners through to more experienced students.
Who teaches the Yoga?
Yasmin Fattori. You can find out more about me here.
What type of Yoga do you teach?
Most modern Yoga originates from Hatha Yoga which in itself has many forms. I predominantly teach a fluid flowing Vinyasa, but also incorporate elements of Yin Yoga and Meditation.
I describe my yoga as a lyrical flow, influenced by her own body and dance - I deliver traditional Yoga in a non-traditional way utilising music alongside choreographed classes as well as freestyle flows.
What do I need to wear?
Light layered sportswear is ideal – in fact there are many brands offering clothing expressly for Yoga. Ensure you don’t feel restricted and let the clothing move with you. Some of our favourites are LuluLemon and Om & Ah.
What equipment do I need?
In the studio…. just yourself.
At home, first of all clear a space in which to practice and use a reliable internet connection if practising at home. A Yoga mat is essential.
I also use props in some of my classes which are designed to enhance your practice. These are: block, strap, bolster, blanket, stability ball, handweights, and a roller. Many of these items are readily available from online merchants – simply contact me for more information. You will also need a Laptop, iPad/tablet or mobile phone and a secondary source if you wish to play music via Spotify.
Can I eat or drink before class?
I advise only eating a light meal two hours before a class and to take small sips of water only if required during a class.
