Hot Yoga

Practiced in a studio heated to 38 degrees Celsius, Hot Yoga is a cleansing, powerful and expansive approach to Yoga. The hot environment stimulates the skin to sweat, which is an effective means for eliminating toxins in the body. The heat supports the lubrication of joints and it softens stiff muscles, and it’s beneficial for maintaining cardiovascular health. A hot yoga practice helps students cultivate greater focus, stamina, ease of mind and attunement, on the mat and in life!

Hot Yoga is suitable for beginners and advanced students.

Class Levels:

Basics: With a gentle pace, classes ensure students of all ages and physical stages have the time and support to experience the essentials of a connected yoga practice in a playful and expansive way. Classes emphasize optimal alignment for Level I postures and conscious integration of the breath during practice, as well as teach skilful modifications of postures according to one’s specific needs.

Level I - Foundation: Classes are designed to cultivate the foundation of a refined, healthy Yoga practice. Postures in the Level I syllabus address the major areas of the body that require opening and strengthening. This is a wonderful class for both beginners and advanced students, as it is the constant base of an evolving practice.

Level II - Expanding: Expand your practice to an intermediate level with more challenging posture variations and faster sequences. Cultivate greater strength, stamina, focus, breath integration, and optimal alignment through your practice.

Level III – Radically Expanding: Delve deeper into the heart and expression of possibility in your practice. This class moves deeper into posture variations, including arm balances, inversions and backbends with steady, pointed and attuned awareness. This class is for students with an established practice who are comfortable with Urdhva Dhanurasana (Wheel) on their mat, and Adho Mukha Vrksasana (handstand) at the wall without assistance. An adventurous heart and sense of humour is welcome and helpful!
