Questions

(arrive in) the studio

Classes

  • Do I need an account to book a session?

    Yes. You can create an account via studio-bondi.com (SIGN IN), the Studio Bondi app (download for free on App Store or Google Play) or in the studio.

  • Do you also allow walk-ins?

    Because we’re a boutique studio there’s always a maximum number of mats available, so we recommend booking your class in advance. All our bookings have to be made online.

  • What if I need to cancel?

    Please do so via your account on the website or the app, at least 4 hours prior to the class start time.

  • What if I forget to cancel or if I’m too late?

    If you forget to cancel or if the cancellation window is already closed at the time of your cancellation (4 hours prior to start of class), this is regarded as a Late Cancel. If you have a class pack, this class will be charged from that class pack. If you have an unlimited subscription, a EUR5 Late Cancel Fee will be charged. Because we work with a maximum number of mats for each class and we otherwise hold a spot for you, we always appreciate it if you can let us know that you won’t be there – also if it’s just a couple of minutes before start of class.

  • What is your waiting list policy?

    As a boutique studio with limited spots available, our classes may fill up quickly. If you encounter a waitlist, it indicates that the class is currently fully booked. Joining the waitlist provides a strong opportunity to secure a spot, and we regularly update the status. When a spot opens up – up to 2 hours before the start of class – you will be automatically added to the class and notified by email.

  • What is the Prenatal/Postnatal class?

    Our Prenatal/Postnatal class is a unique class designed to support women through the transformative journey of pregnancy and early motherhood. This class offers numerous benefits, including relief from pregnancy/postpartum-related aches and pains, improved sleep quality, and increased energy levels. No prior yoga experience is needed. Not sure whether this class is suitable for you? E-mail us at hello@studio-bondi.com and we get back to you asap.

  • When can I join the Prenatal/Postnatal class after giving birth?

    We recommend waiting at least 6-8 weeks after childbirth before joining the class, provided you have received permission from your gynecologist or midwife.

  • What if I can’t make it to the Prenatal/Postnatal class on Sunday, can I join any other yoga class when I’m pregnant or post partum?

    Our Light Flow class could be a suitable alternative, provided you have experience with yoga and are comfortable modifying poses or taking moments of rest as needed. Here are some important considerations: avoid overstretching, deep twists, core strengthening poses like boat pose, and jumps. When these poses arise during class, feel free to take a resting pose or modify as necessary, such as doing a mild twist or stepping forward/back instead of jumping.

General

  • Is there something for beginners?

    All our classes are designed to cater for all levels and we have beginners in almost every class. You will be fine. To be on the super safe side: our Yin and Light Flow classes are a great place to start. Would you like some personal advice? Contact us at hello@studio-bondi.com and we’ll get back to you asap.

  • What language do you speak?

    Our sessions are taught in English.

  • What do I wear?

    You can wear whatever you like so long as you’re comfortable and you can move freely. For all yin and meditation sessions it can be nice to bring your sweater and socks as your body may cool down. You don’t need any shoes.

  • Can I bring water into the yoga room?

    Sure! 

  • Do you sell gift cards?

    Yes! Send us an email at hello@studio-bondi.com and mention how many classes you’d like to give. We’ll make sure a hard copy gift card is available in the studio within 48 hours (you’ll receive a message when it’s ready), or we can send it to the recipient directly.

  • Can I bring the Bondi-vibes to my office or my event?

    Yes! We provide one-off, daily, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly yoga & meditation sessions to give your team or event whatever it is you are looking for: re-energize, relax, strength, flexibility, a calm mind or all of the above. Send your request to daniel@studio-bondi.com and we will get in touch shortly.

Pregnant, burnout, injury, old, stiff

  • What if I’m pregnant?

    First of all, congrats! Our Prenatal/Postnatal class on Sundays is the best choice for safely practicing yoga during pregnancy (and the first period after having your baby). This class is tailored to accommodate the unique needs of pregnant (and post partum) women, providing a blend of movement and relaxation. You don’t need any yoga experience to join, this class is suitable for all levels.

  • What if I’m injured?

    If you’re practicing with an injury, please tell the teacher beforehand and prioritize listening to your body. It’s your best guide. Use props liberally to provide support as needed and be sure to modify poses accordingly. For instance, if you have a shoulder issue, keep your arm low and avoid pushing it beyond your comfort zone. To be on the safe side, please check with your doctor before joining a class.

    If you have a more severe injury or an injury that keeps on coming back, we recommend booking a private class with one of our expert teachers before joining a regular group class. In this private class you’ll learn what your limits are (to avoid making things worse) and you’ll receive guidance on what poses and movements are actually good for you to do. A 50 minute private class costs EUR 75 and is bookable by sending us an e-mail at hello@studio-bondi.com.

  • What if I have a burnout?

    If you’re navigating burnout, our Yin and Light Flow classes are good options. However, it’s essential to say that these classes can still be challenging, especially when your mind is feeling overwhelmed. Having said this, these classes will certainly help to soothe your racing thoughts and release tension in your body; slowing down allows your mind and body to find balance again. After class, you may notice yourself feeling more rested, and filled with positive energy – precisely what we’re all striving for. Need some further advice or guidance? E-mail us at hello@studio-bondi.com.

  • What if I’m too old or too stiff?

    We think you’re never too old or too stiff, but if you feel that way you may want to start with a gentle practice. Try for example one of our Yin or Light Flow classes.

  • What if I’m feeling great?

    Also if you’re feeling great, listen to your body during class. We are often very ambitious and are trying to go a little bit deeper, a little bit further. However, if you feel any pain in the exercises, please return to a comfortable position. Don’t force yourself, rather relax into a pose.

Rent of space

  • Can I hold my event at the studio?

    Are you interested in holding your event, launch, birthday party, babyshower, workshop, meeting, lecture, etc. at Studio Bondi? Send us all the details to: daniel@studio-bondi.com and we’ll get back to you asap. Delicious & healthy catering options are available upon request.

    Please note that the studio is only available for rent outside of class schedule times – this means that we cannot cancel classes from our existing schedule for an event – so please do check our online schedule prior to enquiry.
