Studio Yoga is going online Dear Studio Yoga Friends In line with the latest government advice we’ve stopped all our classes from March 20. But we wanted to tell you we’re putting together a package of online classes for you to do at home until we can get together again. These will include Yoga practices, Pranayama sessions, guided relaxations and meditations, Barre and Pilates workouts that you can do at home. For anyone who’s paid for a course of classes this term, these will cover your remaining sessions (you will be emailed a link and password to view them). Drop-in students will be able to access them through the website. We’ll have the first classes ready for you by the end of March and more will be added over the coming days, so keep an eye on your inbox. The pressure on local broadband with everyone working and home-schooling online is making it hard to upload our content, so bear with us and we’ll get it to you as soon […]
