This is one of the most common worries of people thinking about joining a yoga class, and the answer is no, you really don’t have to be flexible to practice yoga! In fact, not being flexible is one of the reasons to come to yoga! Practising yoga regularly will help to improve flexibility, but it’s more about how it feels than what it looks like.

Come as you are, any way you feel comfortable! There is no need for any special, expensive yoga gear at a SoulTribe class, though of course if that’s your vibe, you do you! Joggers, shorts, leggings, and T shirts are all fine. Hoodies are tricky (especially when you’re upside-down!)

Just your fab self and a sense of humour! It’s a practice - people wobble on the mat, just as they do in life, and a playful, light-hearted approach is welcomed! Mats, blankets and any props are provided, though you’re also welcome to bring your own if you prefer.

Yoga is generally a barefoot practice as it’s safer that way, but if you prefer you can buy some grippy yoga socks from our on-site or online shop.

First of all, welcome to the start of your yoga journey! We’re so glad you’re thinking of making yoga a part of your life. It’s probably best to start with one of our Beginners courses, and then once your confidence has started to build give a Slow and Soulful class a try. If the Beginners class times don’t suit, we offer modifications and alternative poses in every class, so just have a chat with your teacher.
