Every class will start with a grounded posture and breathing exercises to help you get accustomed to your body, the environment and the practice. Depending on the format, our instructor will then lead you through a series of poses and postures starting with a warm up and ending with a cool down period.

It is important whenever performing physical activity to be properly hydrated and nourished. If you are newer to heated classes, please arrive early and allow yourself time to acclimate to the heated space. Certain areas of the room are more heated than others so if you’re not accustomed to the heat, we suggest staying closer to the doors and hallway wall. If you feel uncomfortable during class, we highly recommend drinking some water, taking a restful pose and letting your body downregulate in the heat. Exiting the heated environment quickly can cause some to feel faint or dizzy.

No you don’t. All equipment is provided for free. We provide mats by Manduka — considered the best in the business. The mats are are closed cell, contain no latex, and are meticulously cleaned and sanitized with natural cleaning products before each and every class.

All yoga instructors hold certificates from credible Yoga Alliance institutions. Some instructors have additional education and certifications in perinatal yoga, senior citizens yoga, trauma informed practices and postural restoration.

All Pilates instructors have mat pilates certifications. Some instructors have additional certifications in Reformer and other pilates specific equipment.

We offer perinatal classes in an unheated room multiple times a week. These classes are led by certified prenatal yoga instructors and certified full spectrum birth doulas. If you had a regular practice before getting pregnant and your doctor has approved of it, you are welcome to attend our unheated main studio classes while modifying where needed.

All of our instructors will do their best to accommodate any injured bodies that attend class. If you are working with an injury, please inform your instructor ahead of time so they can provide any customizations before class starts. However, they are not medical professionals and cannot advise on how anyone should care for their injuries. We do have additional padding (blankets, towels and bolsters) for wrists and knees where needed.

Our classes are heated between 85°F and 95°F, except for Prenatal Yoga. We also offer a few non-heated classes, please view the schedule.

Please note that full classes can be warmer than our scheduled temperature from additional body heat in the room.

Infrared heat deeply warms muscles, joints, and bones, enhancing flexibility and range of motion while promoting detoxification and weight loss through increased sweat production. Improved circulation accelerates muscle recovery, and the calming warmth reduces stress, creating a sense of calm and relaxation.

Beyond the physical benefits, infrared heat rejuvenates the skin, aids in pain relief, boosts the immune system, and balances energy levels.

With quicker warm-ups and accelerated recovery, heated yoga and pilates classes leave you feeling stronger, hotter, and happier.
