NEW YEAR, NEW PRICING!
Don't worry, we haven't 
put the prices up! 
 
As of January 2016, we have decided to 
simplify our yoga packages. 
We still offer the same awesome hot yoga classes, 
(38 of them, every week). So, let's help you figure out the package that will work best for you! 
 
Package options:
 
Drop In: �15 (�12 Concession*)
This works if you are coming once a month, or less. 
PLEASE NOTE: You have a month from date of purchase to use

The One Week Unlimited: �50
If you have a week off work, school, university, are in London on holiday, (and fancy doing a health kick) ... the one week unlimited gives you 7 days of unlimited hot yoga!
PLEASE NOTE: You have a month from date of purchase to activate and 7 days unlimited use from the date of activation.

10 Class Card Valid for 6 month: �115 (�103 Concession*)
If you practise anywhere from once every fortnight to 2 classes a week, then this is the class card for you. 
PLEASE NOTE: This class card activates on date of purchase. Therefore your 6 months starts the day you buy NOT from your first class. 

One Month Unlimited: �140 (�126 Concession*)
If you practise 3+ classes a week, then you want one of our unlimited class card options. The One Month Unlimited is perfect for those 'free spirits', who are not sure where they will be next month. 
PLEASE NOTE: You have a month from date of purchase to activate. Once activated, the card is valid for 31 days. 

Off Peak 12 Month Autopay: �69
Only valid at our OFF PEAK classes: 10am, 12pm, 3pm Monday to Friday and all day Saturday. If you average 2 classes a week, or 7 classes a month (all OFF PEAK), then this is the class card for you! This is a 12 month contract, however, there is a 2 month cancellation policy. So, if you wish to cancel before the 12 months is up, simply email us to cancel at bikramyogachiswick@me.com. Two further payments will be taken and your membership will remain live until the termination date, which will be confirmed with you via email. 
PLEASE NOTE: You can request a specific start date for this Autopay. The date you choose to start will then become the date your payment is made every month i.e. if you start on the 5th of January 2016, all future payments will be taken of the 5th of the month 

Peak 12 Month Autopay: �99 (* �89 Concession) - Valid at ALL classes. If you practise 9 or more classes a month, this is the class card for you. This is a 12 month rolling contract: there is a 2 month written cancellation policy, so, if you need to cancel the contract prior to 12 months, please send us an email to bikramyogachiswick@me.comTwo further payments will be taken and your membership will remain live until the termination date, which will be confirmed with you via email. 
 
As this is a rolling contract, if you do not cancel the contract once you have fulfilled your 12 months, the contract will simply continue.  You can email us with a 30 day notice of termination, should you not wish to renew your contract.

PLEASE NOTE: With both 12 month Autopay options, you can request a specific start date. The date you choose to start will then become the date your payment is made every month (i.e. if you start on the 5th of January 2016, all future payments will be taken of the 5th of the month). 


Yearly �950 - Valid at all classes. For anyone averaging 2 or more classes a week, this is usually the most economical class card. For those averaging 3 classes a week, it works out at �6.60/class! Bargain! 
PLEASE NOTE: You have a month from date of purchase to activate. Once activated, the card is valid for 365 days.


Please note that all our class cards are non refundable, non transferable and non freezable.  

*Concession prices are available to 60yrs+, Students, those in receipt of Job Seekers Allowance, Tax Credits, Income Support & Disability Allowance, the Armed Forces, NHS Employees, Police, Fire-Fighters, Equity & Musician Union members, selected local businesses and 16-17 year olds.

Posture Clinic 
2nd Part Awkward
   Fed 2nd part awkward
 
Stand straight. Your feet are parallel, roughly hip-width apart and your core is engaged. To engage our core, the best tip we can give you is to feel like you are pulling your belly button in, then simultaneously pulling up on your pelvic floor. To pull up on the pelvic floor, is the same action you would do if you are stopping yourself mid urine flow (there really is no nice way of explaining this, we've tried and this is as close as we got!). 
 
Your arms are outstretched, your triceps engaged, elbows locked, with your fingers (& thumb) together, pointing straight towards the front mirror.  
Shoulders should be down throughout the posture.

Time to channel your inner Ballerina/ Ballerino!
(For any of you gentlemen unsure about channelling your inner Ballerino, check out Sergei Polunin performance to "Take Me To Church" by Hozier.)
Ok. So, Ballerinas/Ballerinos at the ready, stand up as high as you can on your tip toes. Watch the alignment of your ankles. They should be straight up and not out or in from the alignment of your legs.  Concentrate on pressing your first and second toes into the floor. Work on the height, every class. 

To maintain your balance, focus on one point in front if you and keep your eyes still.  
Back straight, stretch your spine up towards the ceiling. Do not hunch those shoulders up. Stomach muscles/core contracted. Sit down, on top of your toes. This means you are trying to come straight down. Keeping your spine straight, weight in the toes. Imagine you are coming down with your back flat against a wall. Keeping your legs and knees equidistant (hip-width apart) throughout the posture.  The entire time you come down, also focus on bringing your heels up! Body down, heels up!

Come down until your knees and hips are in one line, so they are at the same level. Do not come down any further then this.  Your hips should not come down lower than the line of your knees. 


Spine is straight throughout. If you find you are leaning forward, check you are engaging your stomach muscles: this should help straighten you out. 

Press down through the balls of your feet, keeping you arm engaged and parallel to the ground, knees hip-width apart, spine straight... and come up! 

Next month, 3rd Part Awkward. 


Who needs New Years resolutions! 
 
Every year, we do it to ourselves. We resolve to change our life and overhaul our bodies, only to get 10 days into Janaury exhausted and fedup. We don't need to do this to ourselves. Resolutions are made to be broken, simple... Small life changes are what it is all about! 

Exercise is key to a happy, healthy life. You are already on our mailing-list, so that means you've already been through our doors. So resolve to exercise. Whether this means coming to yoga once a week, 4 times a week, or putting that little extra effort into your postures and not dropping your arms at the usual spot in half moon, or actually coming to class instead of being drawn home to the siren song of your sofa. It is the little things that build up to make massive changes. 

"If exercise were a pill, it would be one of the most cost-effective drugs ever invented," says Dr Nick Cavill

According to the NHS:

It's medically proven that people who do regular physical activity have:
  • up to a 35% lower risk of coronary heart disease and stroke 
  • up to a 50% lower risk of type 2 diabetes 
  • up to a 50% lower risk of colon cancer 
  • up to a 20% lower risk of breast cancer 
  • a 30% lower risk of early death 
  • up to an 83% lower risk of osteoarthritis 
  • up to a 68% lower risk of hip fracture 
  • a 30% lower risk of falls (among older adults) 
  • up to a 30% lower risk of depression 
  • up to a 30% lower risk of dementia
Exercise is only part of the story, but it is a massive one. Together with a healthy diet, regular exercise will change your life and overhaul your body. You don't need to make a New Years resolution this year: just come to yoga!
