The temperature of the room during class will vary depending on the type of class. We heat our studios to keep our students bodies safe during class so as to avoid injury. When the body is warm, it can open and stretch more safely. Secondly, we heat the room to enhance the detox benefits yoga offers. The amount that you will sweat depends on how hard you are working as well as how warm the room is. Our more basic and beginning classes are approximately 75-80 degrees, our intermediate classes are 80-85 degrees and the more intermediate/advanced classes are 85-90 degrees. Do you offer hot yoga? Many students may be familiar with a style of yoga called Bikram where the room is heated to 106 degrees during class. Our rooms are not heated as warm as Bikram but, as explained above, all of our classes are heated and the temperature depends on the type of class offered. Our most heated class will be our Hot Power class on Thursday nights in Old Town, which is approximately 90 degrees.

You can purchase the pass online at any time and the pass will be activated upon your first visit to the studio (not from date of purchase). You can purchase it online the same day that you would like to start attending class (there is no lag time between when you purchase and when you can start). You can also just come to the first class you'd like to take and purchase the pass right before class from the teacher at the studio. The first time you take class, your pass will expire 30 days after that first visit. During those 30 days, you can attend as many classes as you'd like at any of our studios. Please keep in mind the pass must be purchased online prior to your first visit OR upon your first visit to the studio. So, for example, if you've already been to the studio and have attended one or more classes, you are not eligible to do the 30/30 special. It is for brand new students only. Can I just show up for class or do I need to register in advance? All of our classes are offered on a drop-in basis, meaning you can come when it is convenient with your schedule. Some studios offer a 6- or 8-week session for classes but ours run on a continual basis and no advance registration is required. It is required to fill out a waiver upon your first visit to the studio, so please plan to arrive 10 minutes prior to class to complete the waiver before class begins. What do I need to bring with me? Just yourself! We have mats that can be borrowed as well as towels and water. What should I wear? We recommend wearing something that allows you to move easily and liberally and something you wouldn't mind sweating in. Due to some of the poses that are inverted (downdog, etc.), we don't recommend wearing anything too loose, especially loose t-shirts, as they will slide up more easily than something that fits closer to the body. Do you sell mats and clothes at your studios? Yes. We have a variety of men's and women's clothing and mats available for purchase. Still have questions?
