Useful info/T&C’s

Down to Earth prides itself in being a friendly studio – please talk to us if you have any questions or suggestions about our studio or our offer. We’d love to hear from you!

General info

  • We have plenty of mats for you to use although we always encourage people to bring their own. We offer a good range of  yoga mats for sale in our shop – talk to us about getting the best one for you.
  • Please arrive at least 5 mins before the start of the class or 10 mins before a massage.
  • We recommend not eating at least 2 hours before the start of your class.
  • Please wear comfortable clothing and expect to take your socks off in yoga classes.
  • We often have treatments at the same time as classes so we politely ask everyone to be mindful and keep the noise down. Mobiles phones should be switched off.
  • We have a shower and changing rooms. We don’t have lockers.

Payment

  • Payment for online bookings (classes, workshops and treatments) can be done through our secure payment system. We accept most major credit and debit cards (no Amex in shop).

Classes

  • All our regular classes work on a drop-in basis.
  • We have limited capacity and we get full frequently so we advise you to book in advance to guarantee your place.
  • If you can’t make a class please cancel it (online) as you will then enable someone else to attend the class, especially during busy periods when we have waitlists. We have a £10 penalty charge for ‘no shows’ which start from your 2nd non attendance.
  • Please be on time for your class. After class has started any spare spaces may be offered to drop-in students – even if you’ve booked and paid in advance. If you’re definitely coming but running late please call us.
  • Online class booking requires advance payment.

Class cancellations

  • Classes must be cancelled at least 5 hours before the start of the class. Customers who cancel more than 5 hours in advance will be given credit back onto their Momence account for the amount paid. Cancellations are not possible less than 5 hours before the start of the class and classes will be charged at full rate for such late cancellations. We are a small studio so if you can’t make a class please cancel it as someone else most likely wants to come.

Waiting lists

  • If a class or workshop is fully booked you can go onto the waiting list – it’s worth going on the waitlist as spaces do shift. You will then receive an automatic email if a space becomes available. If you are offered a place the 5 hour cancellation policy for classes applies. This includes early morning classes –  if you haven’t heard from us before going to bed and feel that you don’t want to chance being moved to a class early in the morning then please take yourself off the waitlist. You can be moved into a class up to 2 hours before the start of the class.

  • All class passes have an expiration date and are non-refundable.
  • Expired passes can be extended for £20 per month, no longer than 2 months after the original expiration date and can only be extended once.
