OUR FAQs
SANTOSHA AT HOME - ONLINE
How do I see the schedule?
The way you usually do! Use the MindBody app or view our Schedule page; you can then book and pay for the class online.
​
What happens after I book a class?
A confirmation email will be sent to you together with a link to access the class. Do check your junk inbox folder as it might have gone there. If the email has gone to your junk, to prevent this from happening in future please mark our email address as "not junk". Please also check your junk inbox before contacting us if you have not received the video link when you booked.
​
What does the live online class look like?
Our online classes are streamed through Zoom so you will get a chance to say hi to both the teacher and other attendees. You can make the choice of not turning on your video so nobody can see you. The teacher will mute everyone to start the class and you can remain muted or un-mute at the end so you can share comments and say goodbye.
​
Do feel free to feed back to us via email after the class has finished about how you think the class went. We would love to hear your feedback as we try to evolve this new way of teaching for us.
​
Home booking etiquette
It would be great if you could book onto the classes as early as possible. If you are a new client you will also be sent a link to a New Client Form. Please complete and return before the beginning of the class.
​
​
How can I view the Santosha at Home online classes?
Our classes can be played from virtually anywhere. They are mobile, tablet, laptop and PC compatible and can also be casted to your TV using a Chromecast.
​
As you can keep your video off, everyone will only be able to see the teacher so you can practice in your PJ's if you like!
Most classes you have registered for will be recorded and so if you miss it or your internet fails we can send you a recorded link.

If your favourite class isn't on the schedule, please tell us , we are wanting to evolve this schedule in a way that suits all of our lovely students.​

During the practice you may receive a hands-on adjustment from the teacher to deepen your pose or enhance your alignment, If this ever becomes uncomfortable or you do not wish to be touched, please do not be afraid to speak up!
