Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
We're entirely online via Zoom, so you can join from anywhere!
What do I need to prepare for class?
Getting connected:
-
Join 5-10 minutes early to test your connection, say hello to your teacher, and settle in before we start
-
Your Zoom link arrives when you register, again 15 minutes before class, and is always available in your "My Bookings" tab (upper right corner when logged in)
What to wear:
-
Comfortable workout or loungewear
-
Layer up—your body temperature may shift during practice
-
Bare feet work great, but wear socks for warmth or shoes for support if you prefer
Timing:
-
Avoid movement classes on a full stomach, but we do suggest eating 10b protein prior to Dumbbell Training class.
What props do I need?
It depends on the class! Here's what's helpful:
-
Yoga mat - For traction and padding in active classes
-
Strap &/or a block - Great for most yoga classes
-
Firm blankets & pillows (or bolster) - Essential for Yin, Restorative, and Nidra classes
-
8, 10 and/or 15 lb dumbbells - for Dumbbell Training & Core Strength
When should I arrive?
For your first class, join 5-10 minutes early to say hi and get oriented. After that, 5 minutes early is perfect—it gives you time to settle in and lets your instructor check you in.
Do I need to tell anyone I'm new?
We'd love to know! You can share information about yourself in several ways:
-
Through the booking form when you register
-
Via Zoom chat
-
By talking with your teacher at the start of class
One thing that makes Unfold different from other online studios is personal connection. We encourage you to engage in whatever way feels right to you.
