No prior knowledge of yoga is required, making it accessible to beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
The only equipment needed is a yoga mat or a similar surface to practise on.
To participate in the online classes, students will need to create a login for Zoom web conferencing software. Zoom can be accessed on smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart televisions. Prior to each class, participants will receive an email with a link to the Zoom Room. The room will be open at least 15 minutes before the start of the class, allowing students to interact and connect with fellow participants.
It is recommended to find a quiet space at home for the class and to be mindful of background noise, as microphones will be on throughout the session. In case of any technical difficulties, the instructor has the option to mute individuals or the entire room.
To book and pay for classes, students can visit the website and click on the “Book Now” button or access their Customer Account. The studio offers the option to pre-pay for a block of classes, which entitles individuals to a discount. Any existing credits or pre-paid credits will continue to be used for these online classes. However, due to the reduced cost of the classes, pre-paid credits are no longer available.
In such cases, the instructor will manually apply credits to the bookings account for individuals who wish to use their pre-paid credits.
Overall, The Happy Yogi aims to provide a welcoming and inclusive space for individuals to practise yoga and nurture their physical and mental well-being.
