FAQs
Where is SOMA Wandsworth Yoga?
You will find us in Battersea Reach, inside the bbodance studio, right at the riverfront. Please follow our Google map pin, but note that Google directions take you behind the building often. Use this video for reference. When you ring the bbodance door and the green light shows, the doors are open and the receptionist will direct you to us. The closest bus stops are Petergate, Chatfield Road and Bridgend Road, and the Wandsworth Town Station is a 7min walk away.
Where can we park?
There is an underground car park at the Battersea Reach where you can pay & park, or try a nearby Eltringham Street on Petergate, it’s a 3-minute walk to the studio. Bike racks can be found around the buildings in Battersea Reach.
This is my first time doing Yoga. Where do I begin?
Welcome! You are in the right place, our teachers have years of experience with introducing students to the extraordinary world of Yoga. Slow Flow and Hatha Yoga classes are your best bet if you have never done Yoga, for a systematic, progressive introduction that won’t be overwhelming. However, all our classes are open for all levels and you can follow them with the teacher’s modifications, or take breaks whenever it’s needed. Wear comfy clothes, and we practice barefoot - you don’t need socks unless you really like it like that, but you might enjoy the practice more on our grippy mats barefoot. We have mats and all the Yoga props so you don’t have to bring anything with you.
How often should I do Yoga?
We advise at least 3 times a week to reap all the benefits of the consistent Yoga practice, which then really has the potential to change your life, for the better! We support you in coming regularly and often by offering the best deal with our unlimited membership.
Do I have to book classes online?
Yes. Classes need to be booked in advance online and we operate as a cash-less studio. You can look at our schedule to book classes and purchase your class packs & memberships.
Are there showers and lockers in the studio?
Yes, we have men’s and women’s changing rooms with showers and lockers available on the ground floor of the bbodance (please ask the receptionist to tell you where). In the Yoga Shala (studio room) there are cupboards and coat racks if you don’t have too many things with you that you want to leave there. Please be aware that we have a strict no-shoe policy inside the Yoga room - take your shoes off before entering the studio.
When should I arrive for the class?
Please make sure that you are on time as we always start on time. If it’s really not possible, you can be up to 5 minutes late. Please make sure that you wait for the meditation to finish before you enter the studio and avoid disturbing other students. Later entry won’t be allowed.
