What To Wear
When attending a yoga class, it's advisable to wear clothing that prioritizes comfort, flexibility, and breathability. Opt for attire such as moisture-wicking leggings, shorts, or yoga pants paired with a breathable top or tank. Avoid overly loose clothing that may impede movement or require constant adjustment. Additionally, consider wearing layers that can easily be removed as your body heats up during practice. It's essential to choose clothing that allows you to move freely through various yoga poses without restriction. Overall, prioritizing comfort and ease of movement in your attire will contribute to a more enjoyable and fulfilling yoga session.
What To Expect
Hot yoga, also known as Bikram yoga, is a popular practice that involves performing yoga poses in a heated room typically maintained at a temperature of 95 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. This specialized form of yoga offers numerous benefits, including increased flexibility, improved circulation, enhanced detoxification through sweating, and a heightened sense of mental clarity and focus. The intense heat helps to loosen muscles and joints, allowing practitioners to deepen their stretches and achieve a greater range of motion. Additionally, the heat promotes relaxation and stress relief, making it an effective method for both physical and mental well-being. With its emphasis on mindfulness and breath control amidst challenging conditions, hot yoga offers a unique and invigorating experience for individuals seeking to enhance their overall health and vitality.
What To Bring
Of course Yourself!
A comfortable Mat of your preference (I always recommend laying on your back and stomach, kneeling, and sitting on all fours before purchasing a Mat. Everyone's body is different, and you will not get a good practice if your mat is uncomfortable. Think of your mat as an extension of you! Mats should be about your body height, it is totally okay if when you lay down your arms extend further than the top of the mat)
Optional items to bring are Yoga Blocks, Tennis Balls, Yoga Strap (Only needed for flexibility assistance), A thick Towel or Blanket of your choice.
Make sure to bring water! Needs to be non spillable!
