Should I Try Hot Or Not?
Practicing yoga in a heated room warms the body and allows for greater flexibility, increased detoxification and a deeper relaxation. But be prepared to sweat! In general hot yoga is for those who are already comfortable with their yoga practice and are looking to deepen their flexibility and enhance their workout (and work-in;). Hot yoga will definitely provide a more intense experience. Our heated classes will be approximately 35-38°C in temperature. While some like it hot, we also have classes that are non-heated where the room will be close to or slightly warmer than room temperature for comfort.

This heating system offers waves of energy that penetrate deep into the body, gently elevating the body’s surface temperature detoxifying at a cellular level. Please note that the room and your body temperature will rise! can expect to feel the heat in these classes…We recommend lots of water and a towel (we have some available), and if at any time the heat becomes overwhelming please take a resting pose. We also ask that you not leave the room during heated classes so that the teacher can ensure you’re a-okay!
