Class Pricing
Choose between the simplicity of Pay As You Go (sometimes called dropin) or Class Passes for better value
- Pay As You Go – £12.50 class
We have a range of passes, hopefully something suitable for all:
- Trying It Out – 3 classes valid 6 weeks – £33 (works out £11/class)
Ideal for someone attending occasionally, or trying our classes out
- Regular Yogi – 6 classes valid 10 weeks – £54 (works out £9/class)
Ideal for someone wanting to attend one class a week, most weeks
- Yoga Bunny – 12 classes valid 10 weeks – £99 (works out £8.25/class)
Ideal for someone wanting to attend one class a week, most weeks
Please be aware that all classes must be booked and paid for in advance – we cannot accommodate walk ups.
Teachers who run their own classes at Yinspire – currently Della and Sandra – have their own pricing structure, and passes are not valid in their classes.
Buying and Using a Pass
A pass is a discounted pack of classes. Once you have bought your pass you will receive a code – book your classes via our website or the Acuity App, and enter the pass code at checkout – this will then deduct the class from your pass.
You can book the classes at the time of buying the pass, or later up to 30 minutes before class starts. Regardless of when booked, classes can be cancelled up to 24 hours before hand, with a credit back on your pass.
It is recommended you create an account (top right hand corner of booking page on website, or “account” tab on app) and login each time you book:
- Your personal details will be remembered
- You will be able to see how many classes remain on your pass
- You will be able to see your appointments
A pass is a discounted pack of classes,so when you book with a pass you will see full price for each class, currently £12.50, and a credit for that amount when you enter the code from your pass (don’t forget to press “apply” when you’ve entered the code). Eg if you buy the 6 classes for £54 pass, you get £75 of classes for your £54, and each time you book a class £12.50 is taken off the notional £75.
Extend an Expired Pass
(Visit our Payment Page, and Select Option for Extending a Pass)
This lets you add 28 days onto a pass, for a £10 fee.
We make every effort to adhere to our published timetable, but if your pass has run out of time due to cancelled classes by Yinspire, contact us about a discretionary extension.
Passes are not valid on classes which are run by the teacher themselves – currently Della and Sandra.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring anything with me? All the equipment you need is available in the studio, including mats and blocks. You are welcome to bring your own mat, and maybe some water and a blanket or shawl.
What do I do on arrival? Are there particular places? On arrival please take your shoes off at the door. Shoes, bags and coats can be left in the cloakroom at the back of the studio, where there are toilets. Your teacher will probably have laid mats out, enough for everyone expected, there are no reserved places, take a free mat. The studio mats are quite thin, so place your own mat if you have one, or a second one of ours, over the top. We also have some nice cotton mat toppers as well, great for the Yin classes.
Can I attend class if I am injured or unwell? It may be better to give your self some rest time, but unless you have something infectious when we ask you to stay away, for physical injuries you are welcome to make your own judgement about attending. You can tell us about Health or other Concerns
Are your classes suitable for beginners? Most of them, yes. Check the details on the class description part of our Yoga page.
I’m unsure of my schedule – Can I turn up and pay cash on the day? Unfortunately no, All classes must be booked and paid for in advance. You can book and pay up to 30 minutes before the class starts, and change your class free of charge up to 24 hours before. See Changes – Cancellation and Rescheduling section above
Where do I Park? See parking information on our Location Page
What should I wear? Loose comfortable clothes. Lycra and fitness fashion not needed! We generally practice barefoot but do feel free to keep socks on. Shoes must be removed at the door.
How many people will be in class? Up to ten people, very occasionally eleven, and quite often less. They are small friendly groups.
I’ve left something behind! If its a water bottle then, sorry, its probably in the bin – we get so many left! Anything else is kept for two weeks, coats and cardigans in the lobby, mats etc in our store.
