No prior experience is required. The programme is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who have practiced before. During the initial consultation, we assess where you are starting from and build a foundation appropriate to your current level.

For newcomers, we focus on fundamental poses, proper alignment, and breathing techniques. You will learn how to move safely and develop body awareness before progressing to more complex sequences. If you have practiced previously, we identify areas for refinement and introduce variations that challenge you appropriately. The key advantage of a custom programme is that it meets you exactly where you are, without forcing you to keep pace with others or feel held back by a group setting.

Most people notice initial changes within 3-4 weeks of consistent practice. These early improvements typically include better sleep quality, reduced muscle tension, and increased awareness of posture and breathing patterns. Physical changes such as improved flexibility and strength become more apparent after 6-8 weeks.

The timeline varies based on your starting point, practice frequency, and specific goals. Someone focusing on stress management might feel calmer and more centered within the first fortnight, while structural changes like increased hamstring flexibility or core strength develop more gradually. We recommend practicing 3-4 times per week for optimal progress. Regular sessions allow your body to adapt and build upon previous work, creating sustainable change rather than temporary relief.

Yes, we design sequences that work safely within your physical limitations. During the assessment, we discuss any health concerns, past injuries, or chronic conditions that affect your movement. This information is essential for creating a practice that supports your wellbeing rather than aggravating existing issues.

Common conditions we accommodate include lower back pain, joint problems, high blood pressure, and pregnancy. For each situation, we select appropriate modifications and avoid contraindicated poses. If you are managing a significant health condition, we may request clearance from your healthcare provider before beginning. The programme can also support rehabilitation, working alongside physiotherapy or other treatments to rebuild strength and mobility in a controlled, gradual manner.

At minimum, you need a non-slip mat that provides adequate cushioning for floor poses. Beyond this, we recommend having two blocks (cork or foam) and a strap, which help you achieve proper alignment and make certain poses more accessible as you build flexibility and strength.

Additional props such as a bolster, blanket, or cushion can enhance comfort during restorative poses, but these are optional. Many household items can substitute for specialized equipment—a thick book instead of a block, a belt instead of a strap, or cushions instead of a bolster. We provide specific recommendations based on your programme, ensuring you have what you need without unnecessary purchases. If you prefer to practice with minimal equipment, we can adapt sequences accordingly.
