Frequently Asked Questions

Yoga classes

  • Yes! All 60 minute classes and Ashtanga Mysore are multisport-friendly!

  • First of all — welcome! The first step is always the hardest. Classes like our Back to Basics, Gentle Flows, Yin and Yang, and Jivamutki can be ideal for beginners, however, we recommend trying different class styles to see what clicks and connects for you. Head over to book a class at one of our three Prague studio’s and have a look through the class descriptions and teacher profile. We’ve written up a little guide here (link to First time to Yoga page) that has all the info you may need. Remember, every single one of us started somewhere and were a “beginner” at some point.

  • We proudly offer a vast array of unique approaches and style that create a holistic yoga practice you can tailor to your needs. Check our full list of class descriptions here (link) and don’t be afraid to try new things and see what sticks.

  • We recommend 5-10 minutes to give yourself some time to layout your mat, and settle in with a bit of meditation or relaxation before the class begins.

  • Rejskova – 24 // Letna – 30 // Karlin – 28

  • We highly encourage bringing your own mat — It's more hygienic and provides a familiar surface for your practice. You may also rent one at the studio for 50 CZK.

  • We do – all for you to use!

  • We recommend choosing clothing that allows you to move freely and comfortably. Opt for breathable fabrics that wick away sweat. A good rule of thumb is to avoid anything that may hinder your movements, or take away from your focus. You don’t want to be pulling up your pants or have your shirt falling in your face. If you know that you sweat a lot, it is good to bring a little towel to make your practice a little less slippery. In the winter, socks and sweaters are nice for meditation and cool down.

  • Yes! All of our studios have places to change and shower!

  • Absolutely. We recommend letting your instructor know ahead of the class that you are expecting so they can provide you with the necessary modifications and support you may need for that particular class. Or, check out our Birth Collective prenatal classes that can support you on your journey to motherhood.

  • Yes, however, we recommend informing your instructor about your condition before the class begins so they can offer appropriate modifications, adjustments and support to ensure your safety and comfort during the practice. Additionally, practicing gentle or restorative yoga classes may be particularly beneficial for individuals with injuries or limitations as these classes focus on relaxation, gentle stretching, and mindful movement, promoting healing and recovery. Always listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself beyond your comfort level.

  • Easily the biggest myth of yoga, and one we’d like to personally debunk – flexibility is NOT a prerequisite for practicing yoga. While yoga is an excellent way to improve flexibility over time, achieving some instagram-worthy posture is not the goal as much as social media might have you believing. Any yoga pose can be modified to accommodate different levels of flexibility, making the practice accessible to everyone. Remember, the focus of yoga is not on achieving perfect poses, but rather on cultivating mindfulness, strength, balance, and breath awareness.

  • This one is very personal and not such an easy or straightforward answer — we recommend experimenting and exploring what works best for you individually. For beginners, practicing yoga 2-3 times per week can help establish a consistent routine and build a foundation of strength, flexibility, and mindfulness. As you become more experienced, gradually increase your practice to 4-6 times per week. Even practicing yoga once a week can yield noticeable improvements in physical and mental well-being over time. Ultimately, finding a balance that works for you and incorporating yoga into your lifestyle consistently is key to seeing progress and reaping the full benefits of the practice. The power of yoga lies in the mind-body connection and the awareness it brings when we learn to listen to our bodies.

  • We do. Please write us at pragueyogacollective@gmail.com with “Private Class Inquiry” in the subject line and tell us a bit of what you are looking for in a one-to-one class, or any other request you may have.

Teacher Trainings

  • Whether you're a beginner or an advanced yogi, yoga teacher training isn't solely about becoming an instructor in the yoga sphere.

  • It’s quite common for teachers to take the 200-hour level training several times, as each school and teacher leads it differently. There is always a new angle or detail to learn. If you have already completed a training, it will not affect your eligibility in any way.
