    We get it, life happens — but to allow everyone the full Benda Studio experience (and for your own safety reasons), anyone arriving late may not be admitted to class. Please try to arrive at least 5 minutes before class starting time to ensure a seamless experience.

  • Pack Expiry Dates

    Class packs do have an expiry date - 3 months for x10 class packs and x5 private packs; 6 months for x10 private packs. Please note, they will be activated upon your first class. Don’t let them go to waste!

  • Waitlists

    If a class is full and you want to join, you will be added to the waitlist. You’ll be automatically added if a spot opens up, and we’ll notify you by email.

  • Membership Holds

    Going away? Unable to train? You can freeze your membership Just give us two week’s notice and you can freeze as you need to.

  • Health & Safety

    Please let us know about any injuries, pregnancy or health conditions before class. We’ll make sure you’re supported with safe modifications.

    Also, we are shoe free in studio, so bare feet or grippy socks are best once you are on the mat!
