The school welcomes new students through structured intake programmes, with dedicated beginner courses ensuring newcomers learn proper foundational techniques before joining regular classes. They serve the local Guildford community and surrounding areas with multiple class schedules throughout the week, catering to various experience levels.

Their detailed FAQ section, clear beginner guidance, and active blog demonstrate a commitment to educating students beyond the mat. The school also maintains an online shop and offers both group and private classes, making traditional Ashtanga yoga accessible and properly structured for the modern practitioner.
