FAQS

HOW OLD SHOULD MY BABY BE? 
6 weeks - 10months (or pre-crawling)

IS THERE PRAM ACCESS? 
Yes. There is one step down into the studio - then it’s all level from there.

DO YOU HAVE PARKING?
Metered parking is very reasonable at $1 per hour on Thomas, Market and Church Street - alternatively park in Wollongong Central and use the trip into town to grab groceries or mix and match with your other errands.

WHAT IF MY BABY IS UNSETTLED?
You can feed, change or rock your baby as needed in class… or escape to the reception …. or our little oasis outside… it’s all up to you. 
Also… just a heads up - I LOVE babies… Russ calls me the baby whisperer… in fact one time I did a private session with two postnatal ladies… I held one little bubba for the whole session (asleep on my shoulder)… and the other little one slept in their pram! 

WHEN CAN I JOIN? 
Once you’re had your post-natal check up and are cleared for exercise - you are welcome to enrol! 
Every birth is different - but usually between 6-12 weeks post-delivery is a common start time.
If you are experiencing pelvic floor issues (pain, heaviness, leaking on exertion) or are concerned about any post-delivery complications (unhealed scar tissue, bleeding etc)… we highly recommend getting an assessment from a pelvic health physiotherapist prior to recommencing exercise.

CAN I JOIN CASUALLY?
If you are past 35 weeks pregnant, you can attend casually at $35/class. 

WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS A CLASS?
We have a lesson bank of 50 pre-recorded prenatal yoga classes that you are welcome to watch in lieu of your missed class.
Alternatively - you can join us in real time via live stream.
Or you can join a studio YIN or SLOW FLOW class on our regular timetable.

CAN I TRANSFER MISSED CLASSES TOWARD A FUTURE COURSE?
Missed classes cannot be used for future prenatal or mums & bubs courses. 
However - you are more than welcome to join a YIN or SLOW FLOW class on our regular timetable within 2 weeks of the course completion. 
*Yin is a gentle / floor-based class and we will give you prenatal options, Slow Flow is a similar pace to our prenatal classes and we will give pregnancy options - however Slow Flow is best as a make up before 35 weeks pregnant.
