How it works
When the body is warm, muscles, fascia and connective tissue are more elastic allowing for greater flexibility and less chance of injury. Combine this with the intelligent sequence of poses that safely stretches & strengthens muscles, ligaments and joints, and you have the perfect system of exercise to bring back natural range of motion to bodies.
The sequence is made up of beginner's poses and are suitable for all abilities. Our goal is to teach students to take each pose step by step. Step one, learning to engage the right muscles and align the body. Step two, learning to breathe and still the mind once in the pose. And, step three, finding your depth, both physically and mentally.
Sometimes referred to as an open-eyed moving meditation, students are led through the sequence by a set of detailed instructions designed to guide them in and out of poses safely. All classes are the same; same poses, same breathing exercises, same instructions - so you know exactly what to expect.

Different experience
All of our Hot Yoga classes follow the same therapeutic sequence of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises.
The practice is designed to be accessible and adaptable for all bodies, no matter your age, experience, fitness level, or flexibility. The difference between classes is simply the heat, the length of the class, and how the sequence is structured.

This is the original 26+2 Hot Yoga class, practised in a room heated to 40°C with 40% humidity.
Each posture is practised twice, with a pause in between, giving the body time to warm, open, and reset. The first set allows students to explore the posture and meet the body where it is. The second set is an invitation to go a little deeper. This is the OG of hot classes working the full body inside and out. |
The same 26+2 sequence, practiced once only in a room heated to 32°C.
The combination of the heat and single set creates a more spacious pace to prepare the body for deep relaxation. At the conclusion of class, students are invited to join a 15–20 minute seated guided meditation, making it a great option if you are seeking deeper rest and recovery. |
Hot 60 follows the same 26+2 sequence in a shorter, more time-efficient class.
We practice in the same heat as Hot 90, with each posture practiced once, and select postures repeated to help maintain strength and balance within the practice. Hot 60 is often used as a maintenance class, and is a great way to maintain consistency when short on time. |

Expectations
There are never any expectations in our classes, particularly our hot classes.
You are not required to do every posture or perform the practice in any particular way. All we ask is that you try, take breaks as needed, and do your best to stay in the room.
If you are new to our Studio, we encourage you to try all of our classes.

So much more than flexibility
|
Improved heart &
lung capacity The sequence teaches you to breathe fully and correctly, training your respiratory system to work more efficiently. Improved
blood circulation The poses move freshly oxygenated blood throughout the body, stimulating organs, glands and nerves, restoring them to a healthy working order. Weight loss
A 90-minute class can help you burn up to 1000 calories, which is just as good as various other forms of cardiovascular exercise. |
Elimination of
toxins & chemicals The heat promotes sweating, which helps the body to detoxify and eliminate toxins and chemicals. Healing old
injuries Specific poses will cut off blood supply to a certain area, upon release, highly oxygenated and nutrient-rich blood will flow to the damaged area. Reduced stress
The sequence encourages stillness in between poses, training the mind to be still even in stressful situations. |
Stronger
heart & lungs Practicing the poses in the heat, elevates the heart rate, strengthening the cardiovascular system, making it stronger. Improved focus & concentration
