What is yoga?

“yogaś cit­ta-vrt­ti-nirod­hah”

Yoga is the inner state in which the mind comes to rest -
Patañ­jali Yoga Sutra, I.2

For some, yoga is a sport, for oth­ers it is med­i­ta­tion, for many peo­ple it is a path, a phi­los­o­phy of life that helps them to get to know them­selves bet­ter, rec­og­nize their lim­its and become more aware of their own body and mind.

A mul­ti­tude of dif­fer­ent approach­es, schools and yoga paths have devel­oped from thou­sands of years of tra­di­tion and have brought yoga from India to the world — from acro­bat­ics to absolute tran­quil­li­ty — every­thing is pos­si­ble. You can only find out for your­self what suits you best. 

Am I flexible enough for yoga? Am I even suitable for starting yoga? 

OF COURSE!!! Yoga is not about flex­i­bil­i­ty. It’s not about find­ing the per­fect posi­tion, jump­ing into a hand­stand or touch­ing the tips of your toes with your fin­gers. It’s about con­scious­ly tak­ing time for your­self, breath­ing, mov­ing and feel­ing your body. A long-term ben­e­fit of a yoga prac­tice is of course more flex­i­bil­i­ty, strength and mobil­i­ty in body and mind.

Yoga is suit­able for every­one, regard­less of fit­ness lev­el or injury. There are count­less dif­fer­ent styles of yoga, from very calm and slow to more stren­u­ous — there is some­thing for every­one. There are also lots of vari­a­tions for injuries, mak­ing almost any posi­tion pos­si­ble. It’s best to try out a few class­es and teach­ers at the begin­ning to see what you per­son­al­ly like best. You can find a brief insight into the dif­fer­ent styles taught in our stu­dios here

Is online registration necessary for all units?

To answer the ques­tion right away: online reg­is­tra­tion is not manda­to­ry, only in the case of par­tic­u­lar­ly busy ses­sions, i.e. those with pre-reg­is­tra­tion have pri­or­i­ty. We have lim­it­ed the max­i­mum num­ber of par­tic­i­pants per ses­sion in order to be able to guar­an­tee you indi­vid­ual sup­port. In the inter­ests of every­one involved, it is there­fore advis­able to reg­is­ter or can­cel for the sessions. 

Your reg­is­tra­tion is bind­ing, will be booked to your account and guar­an­tees you a place in the unit. In the inter­ests of fair­ness to oth­ers, we ask you to can­cel your book­ing in good time (up to 6 hours before the start of the les­son) if some­thing comes up and you are unable to attend. Units booked but not con­sumed will not be cred­it­ed back. The “Late Can­cel” option (i.e. you can­cel less than 6 hours before the start of the les­son) is pure­ly to inform the teacher that you will not be com­ing, but the les­son will be deduct­ed as no one on the wait­ing list had the chance to come at short notice. 

How does the waiting list work?

If a class is ful­ly booked, there is an option to put you on the wait­ing list. If you put your­self on the wait­ing list, you will receive a noti­fi­ca­tion when a place becomes avail­able again (because anoth­er cus­tomer has can­celed) and you can reg­is­ter for the place that has become free.

What do I need for my first yoga session?
Bring along
The most important thing: YOU

Com­fort­able clothing

To exer­cise, you need clothes in which you feel com­fort­able and in which you can move well. In the Feel­go­od­stu­dio we attach great impor­tance to the fact that you can be your­self — there is no room for out­ward appear­ances here. The Feel­go­od­stu­dio is a col­or­ful place where every­one can be dressed the way they want — be your­self!

Yoga mat?

For all reg­u­lar “non-hot” class­es in our
stu­dios 1070, 1040 & 1160 we offer free rental mats. But: the more intense, enthu­si­as­tic and enjoy­able your yoga prac­tice becomes, the more we rec­om­mend hav­ing your own mat (+ it’s ide­al for prac­tic­ing at home online class­es & videos).

For “Hot” Class­es in 1150 please bring your own mat + tow­el. There is the pos­si­bil­i­ty to rent a mat and a tow­el on site. mat 3€ | tow­el 3€ | mat + tow­el 5€ 

In front of the class

Be a yogi, be on time

Our ses­sions start on time, so please be at the stu­dio in good time so that you can get changed, arrive in peace, etc. If you are join­ing us for the first time, please arrive at least 10 min­utes before the start of the session. 

The prac­tice room is a place of peace and quiet

Some of us begin our prac­tice with a few min­utes of silence, please respect this and avoid con­ver­sa­tions etc. in the prac­tice room. Your cell phone will also be hap­py to wait for you (silent­ly!) in the check­room and has no place in the prac­tice room. 

A full bel­ly does­n’t like to yoga

A full bel­ly is a hin­drance to get­ting all the flex­i­bil­i­ty and mobil­i­ty ben­e­fits from your prac­tice. There­fore, try not to eat for 2 hours before practicing. 

Sauca means inner and out­er cleanliness

One of the under­ly­ing con­cepts of any yoga prac­tice is Sauca, which stands for inner and out­er puri­ty. If you man­age to leave any worries/burdens/to do’s etc. out­side, you will be able to enjoy your prac­tice more and who knows, maybe you will see it from a dif­fer­ent per­spec­tive after the practice…The prac­tice room is a cell phone and shoe-free zone and we ask you to pay atten­tion to clean clothes and phys­i­cal hygiene for the sake of every­one (you are wel­come to show­er before the ses­sion). Please leave large items (bags, ruck­sacks) in the chang­ing room and try to leave as lit­tle as pos­si­ble lying around in the room. Keep­ing things tidy on the out­side will clear your head and calm you down on the inside.

Very first or almost first time on the yoga mat

Please let our teacher know so that we can respond to your needs.

What do I need for my first hot yoga session?

If you would like to prac­tise Hot Yoga with us for the first time, sim­ply come approx. 20 min­utes before the class starts, bring yoga clothes, yoga mat, 2 large tow­els and a water bot­tle (or bor­row one from us for €3). Atten­tion: please do not eat any­thing at least 2 hours before the class! 

In prin­ci­ple, each of our yoga class­es is suit­able for every­one, as all our teach­ers are expe­ri­enced enough to offer options or alter­na­tives to suit your uniqueness.

Is my membership, season ticket or block card valid in all studios?

Yes, all cards and mem­ber­ships are valid in all stu­dios. Only the tow­el ser­vice is only avail­able in 1150. 

Does a hot yoga session cost more than a regular yoga class?

No! The same prices apply for Hot Yoga class­es as for all reg­u­lar class­es in the Feel­go­od stu­dios. You can find all tick­ets here and they are of course also valid at the Hot Yoga Stu­dio in 1150. 

Can I borrow a yoga mat from you?

Yes, with plea­sure! We have rental mats in all our stu­dios. In the Hot Yoga Stu­dio in Lugn­er City, the rental mat costs 3 euros because we have to clean it thor­ough­ly after every ses­sion. In the oth­er stu­dios (1070, 1040, 1160) the rental mats are cur­rent­ly free of charge.

No prob­lem. Whether you are an expe­ri­enced yogi or a new­com­er: if you feel well and your doc­tor has cleared yoga for you, you can also prac­tise yoga dur­ing preg­nan­cy. Please let our teach­ers know that you are preg­nant. If you are unsure about how to prac­tise yoga dur­ing preg­nan­cy, then it is best to come to our preg­nan­cy class­es in stu­dios 1040, 1160 and 1070 . Our expe­ri­enced teach­ers will be able to answer your questions.
