Description
Elements of traditional Hatha yoga combined with the flow of vinyasa yoga in a hot room. There will be an emphasis on alignment and breath control. Joe will teach a balanced practice for strength, flexibility and mindfulness. The heat will help the body detoxify and help with circulation. Suitable for students of all levels of experience.
Important Information to know when coming to our Hot Yoga Classes:
Drink plenty of water so that you arrive fully hydrated - aim for 2-3 litres. You will be sweating a lot! It is always better to be hydrated well before class than to drink a lot in the actual class as this can make you feel sick.
Give yourself at least 10 minutes before class starts, know where things are and set out your mat. It's good to have at least 5 minutes in the space to get used to the heat before we start.
Don't practice on a full stomach. Eat at least 2-3 hours before class. Practicing on a full stomach or very empty stomach may make you feel nauseous or faint.
Go easy for your first class. You need to get used to the heat so take breaks when you need to. Try and stay in the room. Sit down if you feel faint or nauseous and focus on your breathing.
Its a good idea to try and attend at least twice a week so that you get used to the heat and help the detoxification process you have started in the body continue.
What to bring
A yoga mat- we do have mats you can borrow but please clean after use.
Bring a towel. You may want a yoga mat towel.
A large bottle of water.
Wear light clothing that you can move in and your skin can breathe in. Most women opt for shorts and a crop top. Men can just wear shorts. Make sure you have layers for leaving class as you will cool down quickly.
People with certain medical conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes or high blood pressure, or those who are pregnant may need to exercise caution or consult their doctor before participating in hot yoga.
Targeting areas in our body that feel trapped and going further into stretches like a deep tissue massage are a main component to these later sessions. Feeling embodied and restored enough to drift home and sleep well.
