FAQs
Do I need to be at a particular level or ability to participate?
This fundraiser is open to beginners to advances practitioners. Our studio isn’t fully accessible with 25 stairs access to the 1st floor, and 4 subsequent stairs within our premesis.
We will offer various options in all classes for practitioners with rest woven through - there will be the explicit invitation to take breaks and leave the room when you need. However there is an endurance aspect to the fundraiser and as with any endurance event - you are required to be fit and healthy to participate. You should consult a doctor if you have any concerns at all about your ability to participate in this kind of event.
Can I adapt the practices?
Yes absolutely. Move as much or as little as you want, engage actively or passively. Lots of accessible adaptations will be offered and all teachers will be mindful of the marathon context and offer lots of rest. Some practices will be purely meditative, restorative and focusing on rest.
Can I take breaks, use the bathroom etc?
Yes, whenever you want! You're free to leave the space and return as you wish. We will also have a break out space for participants to be throughout the fundraiser should you require a break or some time to yourself.
Can I eat and drink?
Yes there will be two dedicated breaks for meals and shorter bathroom/tea breaks throughout the day. For marathoners lunch and dinner will be provided. We are currently seeking meal and snack donations for our participants where we can finalise a menu. If you are intersted in potentially donating meals please email us at info@studio70glasgow.com
Is there a break out space?
Yes the therapy room at Studio 70 will be available to anyone who wishes to take a break from the main studio and can be accessed anytime throughout the event.
