Hot Yoga → 60 Minute Hot Yoga Classes
What is the 60-minute class?
Our Hot Yoga classes are 60-minutes which is different from other studios that only offer 90-minute classes. The 60-minute class is similar to the typical 90-minute class in that it is choreographed from the same postures, however the 60-minute class moves at a quicker pace and allows for less resting time. Due to the quicker pace, there is an increase in cardiovascular benefits, which allows for the facilitation of lean muscle.
Do I burn the same amount of calories in the 60 as I do in the 90?
When our heart rate is elevated, the body burns calories in order to keep up with the respiratory processes that feed oxygen to all the muscles being utilized. The 60-minute class is more of a cardiovascular challenge; therefore you are increasing the amount of calories burned.
I’m new to hot yoga—do you recommend I try the 60-minute class?
Beginners are welcome to try any 60-minute class and we typically see new students excel at their first time. As always, it is important to be mindful and take care of yourself both inside and outside the yoga room. This means that if a posture is too difficult that you sit out and watch, as well as making sure to hydrate and feed your body the nutrients that it needs. Patience and commitment is key in learning the wonderful system of Hot Yoga and reaping all the benefits it has to offer.
Vinyasa Yoga
What is Vinyasa Yoga?
Vinyasa is the uninterrupted flow of one asana (posture) to the next. It is typically described as synchronizing movement with breath. Transitions during Vinyasa are done purposefully, steadily, and at a deliberate pace. Depending on the instructor, the pace may be slow or more vigorous.
What is the difference between Vinyasa and Hot Yoga?
The major differences between our 60-minute Hot Yoga and Vinyasa are the heat and the postures:
Hot Yoga is performed in a 105° Fahrenheit room, while Vinyasa can be done in either a hot or room temperature environment. All of our Vinyasa classes are done in a heated room set at a temperature of about 100° Fahrenheit.
Vinyasa flows from one posture to another while linking the breath to movement. Depending on the instructor, classes and postures may vary. With Hot Yoga there are no variations, meaning that the same 26 postures are taught in the same sequence each and every class.
Do you offer beginner yoga and advanced Vinyasa classes?
Similar to our Hot Yoga classes, all Vinyasa classes are appropriate for all levels ranging from beginner to advanced. The more that you attend class, the deeper you are able to get into the various postures therefore increasing the difficulty of your practice.
Helpful Tips
Remember to breathe! During physical exertion many tend to hold their breath, it is always important to always keep breathing even if it is just tiny sips of air.
Listen to your body! It is important to always respect your body and your abilities. This means that if something is too difficult, you should take care not to overexert yourself and risk injury.
It is not about perfection, rather about the intention! The hardest part of any Yoga practice is showing up to the studio. When you do show up, set your intention to work your hard.
