What do I need for practice? 

  • Yoga Mat. The Hot Room does not rent out yoga mats, however, we do have mats to purchase, either a little cheapie mat or our branded mat. You can purchase either in studio or in our online store & collect when you arrive for class. 

  • Hot classes – bring a bath-size towel to place on your mat, a water bottle, and a second towel if you wish to shower.

  • Yin yoga – we will provide bolsters & blankets for your yin yoga practice, however, feel free to bring your own

What time should I be there?

  • Doors open 30 min before each class.

  • When you arrive, check in with teacher by giving your name for the class, even if you’ve booked online

  • Belongings are placed in the change rooms.

  • Doors are locked whilst class is in session.

What happens in the practice room?

Bikram Yoga - what can I expect? 

  • The room is designed to be hot, with air circulating continuously throughout the class. 

  • Heat & sweat will take a few classes to get used to, but soon you’ll not notice either. It is a healing practice - do what you can, with what you have, on any given day. It is a disciplined practice - be prepared to be challenged & step outside your comfort zone.

  • Post class buzz or high is long lasting.

  • With consistent practice (we recommend 3 times per week) you’ll start to glow & everyone will ask ‘Hey, what’s different about you? What have you been doing?’ & that’s when you can tell them ‘I do Bikram Yoga’.

Bikram Yoga - what are best tips for practice? 

  • Hydration, hydration, hydration - electrolytes can help either before, during or after class

  • Try not to eat 2 hrs before practice - but continue hydration. If class starts at 6pm, last bit of food before 4pm. 

  • Light clothing is best, we don’t mind what you wear, but ensure you can move & remember your going to sweat, so shorts, leggings, crop tops etc.
