FAQ Sheet
What are the benefits of hot yoga?
There is a multitude of immediate and long-term health benefits to practicing in a hot studio!
Within your first heated exercise class, you’ll notice:
- Increased flexibility
- Increased ranges of motion
- Ability to get deeper into postures quicker than in an unheated class
Over time, hot yoga may change your body, resulting in physical benefits such as:
- The ability to tap into cardio heart ranges, improving heart health
- Increased lung capacity
- Improvement in circulation, leading to better skin and organ function
- Potential increases in your body's ability to remove waste from the body via sweating
- Increase in calorie burn from a heated class, aiding in overall weight loss goals
Can I take a hot yoga class if I've never taken a yoga class before?
Absolutely! We offer several different class types, from beginner hot yoga classes focused on stretching, to more fast-paced, intermediate-style classes that will provide a challenge.
I am new to hot yoga. How do I prepare for my first class?
Keep the following tips in mind when preparing for your hot yoga class – they can make or break your experience!
- Pre- and post-hydrate, potentially something with electrolytes
- Take in water throughout class – sipping cool to lukewarm water is best, as frigid water can cause an upset stomach
- Eat a snack 2 hours before coming to class
- Wear breathable clothing made of moisture-wicking materials – certain synthetics can trap body heat and cause overheating
- Bring a towel to wipe away sweat that may cause slipping
- Arrive 10-15 minutes early to allow your body and lungs to acclimate
- Read the class descriptions and stay mindful of your current abilities
- If you have health concerns (including but not limited to: heart conditions, lung conditions, or if you are pregnant), you may talk to your doctor before attending classes
What if I feel sick during hot yoga?
It is normal for participants to need several classes for their bodies to adapt to moving in a heated environment. Upset stomachs and lightheadedness are not uncommon reactions. If you experience these symptoms, you should take breaks and not try to push through.
Keep in mind that a seated posture is safer than a child’s pose because the heart stays higher than the hips.
Always remember to take breaks when needed – there is no pressure here! Move at a pace that feels right to you.
