Frequently Asked Questions
Why HOT Yoga? Why 100 - 105 degrees?
Heat and humidity helps draws your attention even deeper into your breath and demands your attention and focus remain in this precise moment. Our goal is to use the body to train the mind thus, we are using our bodies to train our minds to be in the present moment, building focus, and stilling the mind. Stilling the fluctuations of the mind, withdrawing the attention from distractions. We train in the body to train the mind how to focus, i.e. balancing with heat sweat while your neighbor is flailing around or others resting or adjusting. Focusing into our engagement, checking in with ourselves, and bringing that all into the body to FEEL the pose…emerging anew. THEN we take that training off the mat and into our daily lives.
What to expect
We provide a supporting and encouraging environment. Our studio is heated between 100-105 degrees, so be prepared to sweat. Expect to be challenged but your practice is yours. We encourage all students to take rests as needed, and to honor their bodies. All students of all levels are always welcome.
Please arrive 15-20 minutes early. This will give you time to register at the front desk, fill out a waiver if needed, and get prepared for class. Please note that there is very limited space for storage of personal items. Please only bring what is necessary.
All of our classes are geared to all levels. We cover modifications to ensure yoga is accessible to all.
Yoga is for every BODY. The practice is a journey and just like any other practice it builds over time and changes. Do not be concerned with being too old, inflexible, weak, etc.
What to wear
Wear comfortable and appropriate clothing (i.e. no underwear, lingerie). Clothing that wicks away sweat is optimal, but any athletic clothing will work just fine. NO baseball caps or visors.
What to bring
Bring a mat, bottle of water, face/hand towel, towel for your mat and any props you would like for your practice. Mats and towels are available for rental for $3 each (while supplies last). We highly suggest a towel or 2 – the sweatier you get, the more slippery your mat will become. Bring a sense of curiosity and adventure. You may surprise yourself!
