FAQs
What if I’m not flexible?
This is the most common misconception that prevents people from coming to a yoga class. Yoga is not about how flexible you are, but about strengthening your body and spine in all directions. All that matters is that you try the right way and go to your personal “edge” to get 100% of the benefits!
Why the heated room?
The room is intentionally heated to warm your muscles and allow you to work more deeply and safely. The heat also helps prevent injuries, and promotes sweating which flushes toxins from your body.
Is it a cardiovascular workout and can I lose weight?
No matter what your level of fitness, you will find the Original Hot Yoga class to be challenging. Each posture combines flexibility, strength, and balance to work your entire body.
