We're next to Hackney Downs Park, in the creative arts community of Hackney Downs Studios.

Walk in through the main entrance under the white 'Welcome' sign. At the end of the hallway (by the toilets), turn left. We're the 2nd door on the left, with the yellow Om Being sign outside. The security door will be closed at the time of class so please make sure to be on time.

DO NOT use the door on the balcony under the illuminated Om Being sign (by the car park), although this looks like the main entrance to enter please go in through the main entrance of Hackney Downs Studios.

Train
Rectory Road Overground (5 min walk).
Hackney Downs, Dalston Kingsland or Dalston Junction Overground (15 min walk)

Bus
488 from Dalston Junction (5 mins)

Parking
There's a temporary unloading bay outside. Ask at reception to open the gate. For more than 90 minutes, please use street parking. Most streets are metered and free after 6pm and at weekends.

Arrive 10 minutes early
Gives you time to settle in, take your mat and tune in. Make sure a team member signs you in. The security door will be closed at the time of the class.

Mats and props are provided
Feel free to bring your own mat if you wish.

Slippy hands?
Our Manduka mats are closed-membrane, which makes them easier to clean, but they can feel slippy in more active sessions. Rub a little of our mat gel from the pot next to the teacher into your hands for extra grip.

No shoes in the studio
Please put your shoes and valuables in the shelving unites and cubby holes as you enter the studio.

Bikes
Please keep bikes locked up outside at your own risk. Folding bikes can come in and be left by the shoe area.

Children
Are welcome to wait at reception but not in the studio during class.

Facilities
Toilets in the hallway. No showers available at this time.

Lost Property
Ask a member of staff or teacher to show you the red box in the store room labelled lost property. Jewellery is kept in the top drawer under the silver amps.

We want you to feel free, comfortable and fully present in your body during practice. We encourage loose, baggy clothing, which keeps the focus on the practice rather than on appearance. Ultimately the choice is yours, and you're welcome whatever you decide to wear.

Tops on
We ask everyone to keep their tops on during class, including in the hotter months. If you want to cool off, pick a mat near the AC unit at the back of the studio.

For reflection
We're open to friendly debate on this. Western yoga culture has often pushed tight-fitting gear. It's practical at times, but it's also shaped by commerce, and it can define the practice in ways that distract from it. In temples and spaces of spiritual significance around the world, a more modest approach is often taken.

At Om Being we want you to have the choice, along with more awareness of why we choose what we wear. If you'd like to share your thoughts, email us. We'd love to hear from you.

Booking
Please book ahead on Momence. Walk-ins are possible but not guaranteed.

Cancelling a booking
In Momence, tap the three dots on your booking. Cancel more than 12 hours before class and it's free.

Freeze membership
Contact us on info@ombeing.co.uk

Late cancellation (under 12 hours): £3
No-show: £5

We waive one of each every month for when life gets in the way. Otherwise, these charges aren't refunded unless we missed signing you in. Keeping it simple keeps admin down for a small studio and frees up spots for members who can make it.

Late arrivals
Classes start exactly on time. Once the door is shut, we can't let anyone in until the end of class. This protects the opening of the space for the teacher and everyone already settled in.

Refunds
We don't offer refunds on memberships, packs or special ticketed events (such as weekend workshops, The Deep Listening Room or Sumor Festival).

Membership Refunds
We also don't refund cancellations made before your minimum term is up (for example, the first 2 months of a monthly pass). Please read the terms before you buy.

Pausing
Whether you can pause depends on your membership, so please check its terms before buying. Pauses aren't available on the Welcome Pass or for less than a month.

Away, unwell or injured?
Email us and we'll freeze your pass until you're ready to come back (minimum one month).

Cancelling
In the Momence app, go to Memberships > My Memberships, find your subscription and click Cancel. You'll be asked for brief feedback first. If there's no cancel option, your plan may have a minimum number of billing cycles.

Guest passes

Om Radio
Every set explores the interplay between movement and music. Listen back on our Om Radio SoundCloud and tune in for live sets every week.

Every year we gather our community on a permaculture farm in Wales over the solstice, a time to tune into the body, the land, each other and the cosmos.

⇾ How to pause your membership?

Depends on the membership you've brought whether or not we offer freeze so please check the terms before purchasing. We don't offer this for our welcome pass or for shorter than one month periods.

⇾ My hands slip on the mats what do I do?

Our mats are closed-membrane mats which are easier to clean and more suitable for studio-use. They are professional grade mats from Manduka (we don't skimp on our equipment) however they can feel a bit slipping especially during one of our more active sessions. To combat this we have Mandula mat-gel on the shelves, rub a bit on your hands and it'll make your hands grip the mats, getting rid of any slippyness. 

⇾ Can I freeze my membership if I've injured myself?

Absolutely! If you go away, get sick or have an injury or medical set back reach out to us and we're always happy to freeze you're pass until you're ready to come back. Just send us an email. We don't offer freezes for less than a month.

⇾ Late / no-show charge refund

Unless we didn't sign you in, we don't offer refunds for late/no-show charges. We allow for 1 of each, every month to account for the times things are out of our control. We do this to minimise the admin for a small studio like Om Being.

⇾ How cancel your membership?

1. Open the Momence app
2. Click Memberships > My Memberships > locate the Subscription & click Cancel
3. You'll be required to provide feedback in a pop up before cancelling. (You may see a minimum number of words required to submit).

Note
If you're not seeing an option to cancel, you may be on a subscription that requires a minimum number of billing cycles before a cancellation can occur.
