YOGA FOR BEGINNERS

How To Begin

Adding Hot Yoga to your life can make a significant impact on your overall health. To begin you may choose to start with a one-hour warm or hot class or perhaps participate in the Brand New Beginner Course.

The Brand New Beginner Course teaches the basics of Hot Yoga including: breathing techniques, standing and floor series poses, with a gradual introduction to heat. This course is an excellent way to discover Hot Yoga and how your body moves.

What To Expect In Your First Class

For your first class please arrive twenty minutes early. This will give you time to register, meet your instructor, ask questions and take a short tour of the center. Hydration is important so drink plenty of water the day of your class. Some yoga postures squeeze and flush the kidneys releasing toxins in your body. Water is needed to help flush those toxins. It is equally important to drink water after class. You will be sweating and drinking water will help your body more efficiently replenish the fluid lost during class.

Yoga is best done on an empty stomach so try not to eat two hours before class. If you must eat, fruit is the best option as it is easily digested.

Wear light, breathable clothing that you will be comfortable sweating in and that will not restrict your movement. You will not need shoes during class so make sure to take them off before entering the yoga room.

Don’t push yourself too hard in class and don’t get frustrated as it will only limit your growth. It takes time to learn postures and get used to the heat. Enjoy the experience; it is the best way to get the full benefit of what Hot Yoga has to offer. Remember that consistent practice is important; you will only improve over time.

If you’d like, you can complete your pre-registration prior to coming into the studio. Enter your first and last name in the “Is this your first time?” section.
