FAQ: What happens if it rains?
Answer: Sessions go ahead whatever the weather.
So far, we've been lucky and the trees provide cover from light rain showers. If the rain is heavy we will walk over to the bandstand in Raphael Park.
If it's very hot, bring a mat and those who want to can stay afterwards for a bonus half hour of traditional yoga, stretches and savasana. (Note: I will bring a few extra mats in case you need to borrow one).
