Typically, women opt for yoga leggings paired with a t-shirt or tank top, while men might choose shorts or sweatpants along with a t-shirt or tank top. Shoes are removed upon entering the yoga room. Classes are done barefoot, but you may choose to wear socks with grips to prevent slipping on your mat, though this can vary based on personal preference and the type of class.

  • Can I still do yoga if I’m not flexible?

    Absolutely! You don't need to be flexible to start practicing yoga. Yoga is about personal progress and gradually improving flexibility and strength over time. It's suitable for all levels of flexibility and designed to help you improve at your own pace.

  • What are the reasons for heat?

    Yoga practiced in a heated room, offers a unique blend of benefits. The warmth aids in deeper muscle flexibility, making it easier to achieve certain poses while reducing the risk of injury. This heat also intensifies the workout, helping to boost cardiovascular fitness and promote more intense sweating, which is believed to aid in detoxification. Additionally, the challenging environment of hot yoga can enhance mental discipline, increase focus, and reduce stress, as it requires a strong mind-body connection. The combination of heat and yoga poses makes for a vigorous workout that can aid in weight loss, improve circulation, and contribute to overall physical and mental well-being.

  • Can my child attend a class with me?

    Children aged 12 and older are welcome to join any of our regular studio classes, provided they are accompanied by an adult. For our hot yoga classes, the minimum age requirement is 15 years. Please note that our studio does not provide childcare services and we are unable to allow children to wait in the lobby during class times. 

  • Do you offer Prenatal Yoga?

    We do not offer specifically prenatal yoga however, many of our classes are fit for any trimester of pregnancy. Our teachers are trained in offering modifications for expecting mamas. Please let your teacher know if you are pregnant so they can keep you safe during class. Consult your doctor before attending hot yoga. Trapeze yoga is not recommended for pregnant women.

  • Do you offer private yoga sessions?

    Yes! These one-on-one classes are tailored to meet your individual needs and goals, whether you're seeking to deepen your practice, work on specific poses, or simply prefer a more personalized yoga experience. Our experienced teachers will work closely with you to create a customized program that aligns with your personal yoga goals.

  • What are the benefits of yoga?

    Yoga offers a holistic blend of benefits that encompass physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Physically, it enhances flexibility, strength, and balance, and can contribute to improved posture and overall body awareness. Regular practice also aids in weight management and promotes better sleep. Mentally, yoga is known for its ability to reduce stress and anxiety, thanks to its focus on mindful breathing and meditation techniques. It sharpens concentration and fosters a sense of inner peace. Emotionally, yoga encourages a deeper connection with oneself, boosting self-esteem and fostering a sense of calm. Practitioners often report feeling more grounded and emotionally resilient. Overall, yoga is not just a form of exercise; it's a comprehensive approach to healthier and more balanced living.

  • How often should I practice yoga?

    The frequency of your yoga practice can vary depending on your experience level, lifestyle, and personal goals. For beginners, starting with 2-3 times a week can help you build a solid foundation and get accustomed to the poses. As you become more comfortable, you might increase your practice to 4-5 times a week for deeper benefits. More experienced practitioners may enjoy daily sessions to maintain flexibility, strength, and mental clarity. However, it's important to listen to your body and allow time for rest and recovery. Even a few minutes of daily meditation or gentle stretching can be beneficial. Ultimately, the key is consistency and finding a rhythm that aligns with your personal needs and schedule, ensuring that yoga remains a nourishing and sustainable part of your life.

  • Do you offer any workshops or special events?

    Yes, we frequently hosts a variety of yoga workshops and special events designed to deepen your practice and enrich your yoga journey.

  • Are there any health conditions that should be considered before practicing yoga?

    Before beginning a yoga practice, it's important to consider any existing health conditions, as certain poses or practices may need to be modified or avoided. Conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, recent surgery, musculoskeletal injuries, and chronic conditions like arthritis or diabetes can be affected by physical activity like yoga. Pregnancy also requires specific modifications. Our teachers are not trained on giving medical advice, and we highly encourage students with health concerns to consult with a healthcare professional before starting yoga to ensure it is safe and beneficial for them.
