Question 1

Do I need an account to book a class?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can create an account via ebbflowstudio.nl (SIGN IN), bit.ly/ebbflowregister, the Eversports app (download for free on App Store or Google Play & search 'Ebb & Flow' in the app) or in the studio. Purchase the 'Introduction offer' (online or in the studio), which will give you 2 classes for only 10eu.

Question 2

What do I bring to class?

Accepted Answer

In view of Covid19 regulations, we kindly ask you to bring your own mat, and a towel or blanket to cover any props you might use during class.   Always make sure you're wearing comfortable clothing you can freely move in, and a water bottle to replenish and quench your thirst (mostly after: only small sips (or none) during class! You don't want your tummy to be sloshing during Vinyasa (: ).

Question 3

How much time do I need before the start of my session?

Accepted Answer

You won’t need much, but we recommend to arrive at least 5-10 minutes before the indicated start time so you have some time to check in, find your spot and get ready - without having to rush.

Question 4

Can I arrive after the start time of the class?

Accepted Answer

Keeping the experience of your fellow yogis in mind, we do encourage you to be on time (5-10 minutes before class starts should leave you enough time). During class the studio doors will be locked. Teachers are encouraged to wait a minute or two if someone's still missing from the schedule. Those late are probably the ones who need it most. However... see sentence nr 1 & 2. ;-)

Question 5

Do you have lockers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, lockers are provided for your bag, laptop, phone, keys, jacket, whatever you don’t need during your presence in the studio. Note: please always put your phone in a locker on silent/airplane mode and do not take it with you in the studio. Studio = phone free zone

Question 6

Do you have changing rooms?

Accepted Answer

Due to covid19, our changing rooms are temporarily not in use. Thank you for your understanding.

Question 7

Help, I think I forgot my..."

Accepted Answer

No worries: if we found it, we'll keep it safe until you can come pick it up. To reclaim what’s yours, please send us an e-mail with a clear description at hello@ebbflowstudio.nl.

Question 8

Can I stay for a chat after class, or come in a bit earlier?"

Accepted Answer

Usually: yes! We love to connect with you. Unfortunately however due to covid19, our Ebb & Flow Café is (temporarily) closed. As soon as allowed, you're free to come enjoy a chat & tea with us again.

Question 9

Do I need an account to book a class, workshop/event, or treatment?"

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can easily create an account via ebbflowstudio.nl --> SIGN IN, the studio's account on the Eversports app (download for free on App Store or Google Play) or in the studio.

Question 10

What classes are fit for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Unless specifically stated in the class description, every class is fit for beginners. The teachers will make sure that different levels can be safely accessed in every class. And don't forget: practice over perfection. Work within the boundaries of your body, it is your absolute first and best teacher. If you want to be on the safe side, choose a Yin class to start with: a more meditative, slow-paced practice. Or try some of our classes at home first via our online video library. A great place to start is Yoga Foundations, a series specifically designed with those who are just starting out in mind.

Question 11

Do you allow walk-ins?

Accepted Answer

Normally, yes. However, in line with Covid19 safety measures, all our guests will need to register in advance. You can do so via our site or via the app.

Question 12

What if I need to cancel?

Accepted Answer

Please do so via your account on the website or the app, preferably at least 24 hours prior to the class start time. Free cancellation outside of this timeframe: if class starts within 24hrs, unfortunately we need to charge you for it.

Question 13

What if I'm too late, forget to cancel, or cancel within 24hrs?"

Accepted Answer

In case you forget to cancel, or if the cancellation window is already closed at the time of your cancellation (24 hours prior to start of class), this is regarded as a 'late cancel'. If you have a (single/5/10/20) lesson card, this class will still be charged from your card. If you have an unlimited subscription, a 5eu late cancel fee will be charged on your account. Because we have a limited number of spots for each class and we reserve a spot for you, we always appreciate it if you can let us know if you can't make it after all – even if it’s just a couple of minutes before the start of class, so that we know who's exactly coming.

Question 14

If a class is full, is there a waiting list?"

Accepted Answer

Yes! Sign up via the usual route and you will be placed on the waiting list automatically. If you have joined the waiting list, you will be notified by email if there is a free spot available again. It's first come first serve, so be quick!

Question 15

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

First and foremost: be comfy! You can wear whatever you like, as long as you are comfortable and can move freely in it. Especially for Yin and meditation sessions we advise you to bring a sweater or vest and comfy pair of socks as your body may cool down. But also for Savasana after any practice it might be nice to have an extra layer with you. We practice barefoot, so you can leave your shoes at the door.

Question 16

What language are the classes taught in?

Accepted Answer

Most classes are taught in English, some in Dutch: depending on the preference/native tongue of the teacher, and the students present.

Question 17

Can I bring a water bottle into the yoga studio?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Feel free to bring it with you. And remember: small sips during your practice.

Question 18

Where can I leave my bike/park my car?

Accepted Answer

You can park your bike right next to the studio. To park your car, navigate to the Maanweg (free parking) or Saturnusstraat (free in the evenings and weekend). No spots available? Try Voorburg Station: from there, it's a ten-minute walk from the studio.

Question 19

Do you sell gift cards?

Sorry, we don’t do refunds after that: but you’re free to have someone else take your place in case you cannot make it. In any case, please let us know if you’re not able to make it, and whether someone else will take your spot instead.

Accepted Answer

Are you interested in hosting your event, launch, birthday party, workshop, meeting, lecture, etc. at Ebb & Flow Studio? Send us all the details at hello@ebbflowstudio.nl and we’ll get back to you asap. Delicious, healthy & vegan catering options are available upon request.   Please note that the studio is only available for rent outside of class schedule times. We cannot cancel classes from our existing schedule for an event – so please do check our online schedule prior to enquiry.

Question 31

What if I'm pregnant, have a burnout or an injury?"

Accepted Answer

In case of pregnancy, burnout or injury, please tell the teacher in advance. And - always the message, but in this case even more than normal - make sure to listen carefully to your own body. Don't push it, be kind and gentle to yourself. To be safe, please check with your doctor before joining a session. For all expecting mamas: if you have experience with yoga, know your limits and possible modifications, you can join any class you feel comfortable with (still make sure to tell the teacher - just in case!).

Question 32

I think I want to start yoga, but... I'm so stiff!"

Accepted Answer

Well, then you're at the right address, aren't ya?! ;) No worries about tight muscles or grumpy joints. Remember it's all about practice, not perfection. If you feel this way, you may want to start with a gentle practice, try one of our Yin classes, perfect to slowly ease your way (and your muscles +& joints) into the practice of yoga.

Question 33

I feel great!

Accepted Answer

Great! We're super happy to hear that. But, good to know: most injuries just might happen when we are feeling perfectly fine, and perhaps a little overly ambitious. Remember, to learn and grow you may want to dance around the edges of what you're capable of, but not too long, and certainly not too far. Pain is a way of the body to say 'no further'. So don't push it, and listen to the signals your body gives you.

Question 34

Can I book a private class?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can. Check out 'Private Class' under the Self-Care menu.
