St Ives Woodland Class Access Details

Please arrive in plenty of time for your class (note the start time on your booking confirmation Saturdays 9am and Sundays 10am).

Access to the Woodland

Access and Parking: Please access St Ives through the Keighley Road entrance. If you are driving then you can park for free for 2 hours on either side of the road just after the gatehouse but there are only a few spaces here so allow time to go further up to park near the coppice pond or other St Ives car parks if needed - please note that pay and display rates apply 7 days a week throughout those locations between 9am and 6pm.

Meeting Spot

I will meet you 10 minutes before the class start time at the fingerpost at the bottom of the steps into the woods near the map and information board. There will be a very short walk up the steps to access the area where we will be practicing. If you use the What 3 Words app then the unique combination code is minimums.whisk.legal

What to Bring

Weather: Prepare for all weather and bring layers. The ground may be damp, plus we never know about showers. The best way to stay comfortable is to bring plenty of layers and a waterproof coat and or trousers as well as a hat, scarf and gloves in colder months.

Equipment: Bring a yoga or camping mat and blankets or a even a sleeping bag to wrap up in for the relaxation/meditation part of the class. Make sure you have equipment that you don't mind using outside on the woodland floor. You do not need any other specific equipment, but please wear comfortable clothes and footwear and bring a hot drink in a flask if you would like to warm up during the class.

Facilities: The nearest toilet facility is near the playground in the middle of St Ives which is a 10 minute walk each way so please do use the facilities before you arrive if you can.

Cancellation

Please note that the class will go ahead in all weathers. Cancellation will only take place if it is not safe to be in the woodland; usually only in extremely high winds or extreme low temperatures. If the class is cancelled I will let you know at least 2 hours before the class starts. Should you be unable to attend on the day, please text me on 077433 91771 as I cannot check other messaging channels in the woods.
