Before You Arrive - First time at MUSE

If this will be your first booking at MUSE, It is completely normal to feel unsure stepping into a new space.
Our intention is that within moments you feel grounded and held.

There is no expectation to perform. - Only an invitation to arrive.

Location
The studio is a hidden sanctuary located next to & behind Dunkley’s garage. Please walk through the metal gates and you’ll find the MUSE Wellness Club on the left.

Parking
Free parking is available nearby. Please allow a little extra time during school hours. - IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please do not park on the grounds of Dunkley’s Garage, in front of or within the metal gates leading to the studio.

Arrival
Please arrive 5 minutes before your session. This allows you to settle your nervous system and transition from the outside world into the calm of the studio.

Equipment
To make your experience as relaxing and easy as possible, all equipment is provided at the studio, including mats. All you need is a bottle of water to stay hydrated. We are a no-shoe studio apart from our MUSE PUMP class where trainers are needed for safety.

Studio Energy
MUSE is a sensory-aware environment. We move with intention, speak with respect, and honour the space as a shared sanctuary.

Mobile Phones
We kindly ask that phones are silenced and if possible, kept off the studio floor.

Movement at MUSE
Whether you are joining Pilates, Yoga, MUSE Pump or a Stretch & Length, Wear clothing you can move and breathe in.

Our children’s and teen classes are designed to build confidence, coordination and body awareness in a safe and supportive space.

Please ensure:

  • Hair is tied back.

  • Comfortable movement clothing is worn.

  • Water is brought to class.

Drop-off and collection times are important to maintain the calm rhythm of the studio.

Our Sound Bath experiences are designed to guide you into deep rest, nervous system regulation and subtle energetic reset.

Using crystal singing bowls and layered frequencies, we create an immersive soundscape that encourages the body to soften and the mind to quiet.

You do not need to “do” anything.
Simply lie back, breathe, and receive.
