ZOOM FAQ

What happens in these classes? Are they live?
Yes they are live in real time just like a regular class, only rather than taking place in the shala, you’ll be able to attend from your home.

Can the teacher see me?
Yes! In preparation for the class, find a quiet secluded area in your home lay out your mat, and remember to wear something more than your underwear.

Can I ask the teacher questions?
Yes you will be able to speak directly to your teacher. However, please set your microphone to mute to cut out any ambient sound when not speaking directly.

How many students will be in the class?
For Iyengar, Yin and meditation classes a maximum of 12 students, for Ashtanga led classes a maximum of 25.

How do I book for these classes?
Exactly how you used to – via our website or the schedulehouse app. Just make sure you book 60 minutes prior to the class so we have time to send you the access link. You will not be able to attend without prior bookings.

How do I access zoom?
After booking for your class on schedulehouse you’ll be sent an access link by email. If it’s your first time your first time using zoom, you’ll be guided through a simple and free software download. You’ll then have access to the class.
You can download zoom on your phone or laptop. We recommend a laptop as a larger screen will enable you to clearly see the teacher and other students.

What is the cost of these classes?

We will be reactivating all Nilaya House passes on Sunday which you’ll be able to use to book and attend zoom classes. Monthly passes continue to be the most cost effective way of attending Nilaya House classes, however we realise in these uncertain times that personal finances may be suffering, so we are are lowering our drop-in price from AED110 to AED65, to enable you to pay-as-you-go at a discounted rate. In either case we hope you will be able to continue your regular practice with us.

To ensure the privacy of participating students, these sessions will not be recorded and not available for replay.

Information for new students

The best way to learn Ashtanga Yoga is to commit to attending the Mysore classes a minimum of three times a week. No prior yoga experience is needed. Complete beginners are most welcome.

Beginner students can also consider attending an Intro to Ashtanga Yoga Course that we run every second month.
