What is hot yoga?
Hot yoga is a Hatha Yoga Practice that works all systems of the body. It is practiced in a heated room that replicates the temperatures in India where yoga originated. Students enjoy the presence of a certified hot yoga teacher who provides instruction and supervision throughout the class. Hatha Yoga’s lineage traces its history back a 1,000 years while yoga itself dates back more than five thousand years.

Why do hot yoga?
There is no form of exercise that is more comprehensive and provides as complete a total body workout.

How is this hot yoga different from other types of yoga?
In our hot yoga classes the temperature is maintained slightly above your body temperature. Through the presence of heat, muscles and fascia open up, enabling greater flexibility and healing as the blood flows into those tissues. In addition, sweating rids the body of one third of the toxins. As a practice, our hot yoga represents an evolution and fusion of postures that opens, strengthens, massages and stretches the entire body in each class.

What are the benefits of hot yoga?
The combination of the heated room, yoga postures and breathing exercises facilitate increased physical strength, cardiovascular health, muscle tone, joint flexibility, cognitive function and spiritual openness. The heated room promotes sweating which loosens the muscles and fascia and naturally detoxifies the body. The postures work to strengthen, tone and improve flexibility. Breathing improves the circulatory system and works to expel toxins. The result is a rejuvenated body, calm mind and uplifted spirit.

What if I have never practiced hot yoga?
No problem. Hot yoga embraces people of all ability levels and body types. The postures are suitable for everyone.

If I have challenges with my flexibility, can I practice hot yoga?
Absolutely. It is beneficial to practice hot yoga, because the heat assists in opening of the muscles and releasing of tension.

Yes. During the prenatal and postpartum stages of pregnancy different modifications are taught. For prenatal women it is not uncommon to practice during your second trimester or third trimester and for post-partum women it is not uncommon that hot yoga is resumed six weeks after childbirth.

Knowing that each woman’s pregnancy is different, it is recommended that a health care provider be consulted during and immediately following pregnancy, and the provider be told of your desire to practice hot yoga. It is also important to inform your yoga instructor of your pregnancy or childbirth.

Can I practice hot yoga if I have health challenges?
