His mixed-ability classes ensure each participant feels comfortable progressing at their own pace. Oval Yoga emphasises inclusivity, stating that yoga is accessible to all, irrespective of creed.
To make the most of the classes, participants are advised to arrive 7 minutes early to settle in, and to space out their last proper meal to at least 3 hours before class, allowing a light meal up to 2 hours prior. The studio supplies limited mats and blocks, but regulars are encouraged to bring their own gear. Comfortable clothing that allows free movement is recommended.
