Things you might be wondering
If the answer isn’t here, message 小英 on LINE. She usually replies quickly.
Coming for the first time
I’ve never done yoga. Can I come?
Yes — the Beginners’ Course exists for exactly this. You do not need flexibility or fitness first. The first class starts with breathing and basic standing poses, using blocks and ropes for support.
What should I wear and bring?
Something you can move in that stays put — no need for yoga clothes. Mats, blocks, ropes, bolsters, blankets and chairs are all provided. We practise barefoot. Try not to eat a large meal in the two hours before class.
How early should I arrive the first time?
Ten minutes early: change, and tell the teacher about your body — old injuries, surgery, high blood pressure, pregnancy, or anything that is hurting this week.
What makes Iyengar yoga different?
It emphasises alignment, staying in a pose long enough to observe it, and the use of props. The pace is unhurried but detailed — which is why it works for older bodies and for people practising around an injury.
How classes work
How many people are in a class?
A maximum of 12. Classes are kept small so that the teacher can actually see every body in the room, and remember each one.
How does the online class work?
The Wednesday evening class runs in the studio and on screen at the same time, so you can practise from home. A recording is released each week and stays available for a limited time, so missing one Wednesday does not put you behind.
What is the difference between enrolling and booking?
Enrolling is a once-a-term thing: choosing a class and paying for a pack. Booking is per class: reserving one of the twelve mats before each session. You enrol first, then book.
How many classes do I have left?
There is a lookup on this site — enter your name and the last four digits of your phone number. The record is maintained by 小英 herself, so if it does not match your own count, message her on LINE.
Policies
Can I make up a class I miss?
Yes. Pick one regular class and stay with it where you can; if you miss a week, make it up within the same term (2026-09-14–2026-12-03). Book the make-up seat online like any other class.
Can a Beginners’ Course student make up in a different class?
Yes. The Beginners’ Course is 75 minutes, so making it up in a 90-minute class (Gentle, Foundation or the online class) costs an extra NT$75 per session.
Do class packs expire?
Yes. All classes must be used within the term — 2026-09-14 to 2026-12-03.
Can I get a refund, postpone, or transfer?
Classes must be completed within the term. Except in special circumstances they cannot be postponed, refunded or transferred. If something unusual comes up, talk to 小英 directly.
What happens if class is cancelled?
If the Hualien County Government announces a closure — a typhoon, for instance — that class is pushed back by one week. Any other planned closures are announced on LINE in advance.
I have an injury, surgery or pregnancy — can I practise?
Usually yes, but you must tell the teacher first — props exist precisely to work around these things. If a doctor has told you to avoid certain movements, follow that advice and let the teacher know.
Confirmed at booking
Health disclosure and practice agreement
You will be asked to confirm this when booking. It exists to keep you safer in the room, not to shift responsibility away from the teacher.
- 1 I understand that yoga is a physical practice and that injury is possible.
- 2 I will honestly disclose my physical condition — including past injuries, surgery, chronic illness, high blood pressure and pregnancy, as well as anything that feels wrong on the day — and will tell the teacher if that changes.
- 3 I understand the teacher will observe and offer modifications and props according to my condition; and that during class I am also responsible for looking after myself, adjusting or stopping according to what my body is telling me rather than pushing through.
- 4 If a doctor has advised me to avoid particular activities, I will follow that advice and inform the teacher.
- 5 I understand that classes must be used within the term, and that except in special circumstances they cannot be postponed, refunded or transferred.
If any of this is unclear, or you cannot honestly agree to it, talk to 小英 before enrolling. The point is to get things said in advance, not to collect a signature.
