Common Questions
Getting Started
What does an immersive environment actually mean?

Every class at SABDA takes place inside a fully enclosed 360° room with floor-to-ceiling projection mapping and Dolby Atmos spatial audio. The visuals and sound transform the space into a different world for every session. Your senses are fully engaged, your phone is away, and for 60 minutes the outside world genuinely disappears.

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes. Classes fill up. Book through the schedule.

I've never done yoga / pilates / sound healing before. Can I still come?

Absolutely. All classes are open to all levels. If you're brand new, we recommend starting with Vinyasa, Hatha Vinyasa, or Core Pilates before moving into more intense formats like Power Pilates or Yoga Sculpt. Any sound healing or yoga with sound healing class is completely accessible from day one.

I'm not very fit / flexible. Will I feel out of place?

No. SABDA isn't about performance. It's about the experience. You'll find people at every level in every class. Nobody's watching you.

What should I bring?

Just bring your good energy. Mats, props, blankets, and cushions are all provided. For movement classes, a fitness towel is recommended. Grippy socks are optional for pilates. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in, bring a towel if you want to use the showers (also available for rent), and avoid heavy perfume. Water bottles are welcome.

Most classes run 60 minutes. Some formats run from 50 to 75 minutes. Check the individual class listing in the schedule.

Is the immersive environment suitable for people with photosensitivity or epilepsy?

The studio uses 360° projection with dynamic visuals and moving light. If you have photosensitivity or epilepsy, please consult your doctor before attending and let us know in advance. In general, the visuals for wellness classes do not contain any flashing.

What is breathwork and is it safe?

Breathwork uses conscious breathing patterns to shift your physical and mental state. It can be activating or deeply calming depending on the format. It's safe and beginner-friendly for most healthy adults. It is not recommended if you're pregnant, have cardiovascular conditions, epilepsy, or a history of serious mental health episodes. If you're unsure, check with your doctor first and let the teacher know of any conditions before class.
