Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have never done yoga before?
The classes are designed for beginners with plenty of detailed information
to lead people of all ages and levels of ability safely through the class.
It also offers the seasoned yogi continued growth.
What if you're not flexible?
Then this is the yoga for you! Hot yoga will increase your flexibility and
strength. This yoga attracts all shapes, sizes and fitness levels. Anyone
can do this.
Why is the room heated?
The room is intentionally heated to warm up your entire body which will
allow you to work deeper into your muscles, ligaments and joints without
injury. The heat provides a level of detoxification through sweating.
What should you bring?
Please bring a yoga mat if you have one, bath-size towel, and a bottle of
water. We sell and hire water, towels and yoga mats.
What should you wear?
Women wear shorts or fitted three quarter pants with a sports bra, tank
top etc. Men should wear shorts, bike pants or a bathing suit. Remember
- you'll be sweating so avoid long pants and loose clothes. The less clothing
the better.
How long is the class?
Most classes are 90 minutes in duration. We do offer 60 minute classes at
5:45am and 4.30pm weekdays. On the weekend, we offer a 60 minute class on
Sunday. Consult the timetable for further information.
What if I feel dizzy, faint or nauseous in the class, is this normal?
Hot Yoga is a strong style of yoga which will physically challenge your
body. It is absolutely normal to feel tired or even light-headed when you
begin hot yoga for the first time. Your body may need time to adjust to
this strong yoga practice and will gradually build strength, fitness and
stamina.
We encourage all of our students to practice intelligently and listen carefully
to their body. Our teachers encourage all of our students to take the time
to rest in sarvasana or child's pose until they feel more comfortable to
rejoin the class and continue their yoga practice. If the student feels
they also need to leave the room they will not be prevented from doing so.
We find that most students become lightheaded because they have not eaten
an adequate amount of protein rich food and water during the day to support
this challenging yoga practice. Some students are prone to low blood pressure
which may create a dizzy feeling as the body is moved from standing positions
into forward bends and backbends.
We encourage all students to be mindful, eating and drinking enough throughout
the day to support and energize the body during their yoga practice.
How often should you come?
Come as often as you can. The time and effort you put into Hot Yoga will
be returned to you tenfold. We recommend 3 or more times per week, especially
in the beginning. Within four weeks you will see (and feel) noticeable differences!
Can you eat before class?
You should come to class on an empty stomach. You should not eat food 1
1/2 hours prior to the class.
What about water?
You should drink plenty of water every day. This is better than just drinking
water before or during class. With Hot Yoga, you are simultaneously cleansing
all the systems of your body from the inside out. It is important to stay
hydrated so your elimination systems (bowel, urinary, and skin) can support
your efforts.
What if you have injuries or illness?
Please let the teacher know if you have any injuries, illnesses, special
conditions or are pregnant. Please note:- anyone who has hypertension (high
blood pressure) or type 2 diabetes please obtain a doctor’s clearance prior
to starting class. Anyone pregnant, trying to fall pregnant or on the IVF
programme cannot go into a heated room.
