First time / never practiced before?

Most people feel awkward walking into their first class. That's OK, we did too. Just tell your teacher when you arrive. Nothing in the class requires you to know what you are doing. You can find your way around the studio and get set up without rushing.

What do I wear to class?

Wear what feels comfortable and that you can move in. When you arrive at the studio, remove your shoes before entering.

Coming back after a break?

Welcome back. You're welcome to join any class as modifications are always offered. If you're looking to ease back in, we recommend starting with a Soma Flow or Foundations class.

Yourself, a drink bottle and a towel. We have mats, blocks, bolsters, blankets and secure lockers. If you like to use your own mat, bring it along. Filtered water is available outside the studio and tea is offered before and after class.

When should I arrive for class?

At least 10 minutes early. We encourage everyone to be settled 5 minutes before class starts to avoid disruptions and to respect everyone's practice.

I have a health condition, an injury, or I am pregnant. Can I practice?

In most cases, yes. However, we may require a certificate or clearance from a registered practitioner depending on your personal circumstances. Let us know at the time of booking, or if you are dropping in, please discuss with your teacher privately. We will do our best to accommodate you and your needs, but we may not be able to in all situations.

Is there parking or public transport close by?

Solsoma is a short walk from Gymea train station and can be accessed by bus. There is parking along Gymea Bay Road, Warburton Street and the surrounding area. Sometimes the area can be busy, so we recommend arriving early to find somewhere close by.
