Is there anyone on the Coast who does this?
Sometimes the honest answer is that the nearest is in Christchurch or Nelson, and the quote should say so with travel in it. NovaPay asks locally first and tells you when it has had to look further rather than quietly widening the search.
Which style should I start with?
Hatha and yin are usually slower and easier to start with; vinyasa and power are faster and harder. Say what you are looking for rather than picking a style name, and let the instructor advise.
I am not flexible. Is that a problem?
It is the most common reason people give for not starting, and it is backwards: flexibility is an outcome rather than a prerequisite. Say it in your request and you will be pointed at the right class.
Are private sessions worth it?
For an injury, a specific goal, or if a room full of people puts you off, often yes. A few private sessions before joining a class is a common and sensible path.
Can someone come to our workplace?
Many instructors run workplace sessions, usually as a weekly block rather than one-off. Say how many people and how often, since that is what it is priced on.
