Location:

All SfA Weekly Classes take place at Avanto Art & Movement. Alppikatu 15, Helsinki, 00530. All SfA Business Clinics take place at your place of work, or at an agreed upon location.

Yoga Mat & Clothing

SfA recommends bringing your yoga mat, but we can supply you with one if needed. In the interest of healthy movement, we have a “come as you are,” clothing policy. We recommend clothing that allows for freedom of movement as well as mental and physical comfort. If this means a loose shirt and ripped jeans, a batman costume, yoga attire, or a deadlifting suit, do it. We ask that you please remove any jewelry that may cause harm to the skin when using our equipment.

Cleanliness & Safety

SfA values cleanliness and safety. Because we work with strengthening tools, we recommend clean hands and feet before arriving. All equipment is cared for to the highest level. We consider a clean workspace as foundational in establishing a safe environment for exploring resistance.
