Frequently Asked Questions

You don’t have to be experienced to do Hot Yoga or Pilates. You just need to come ready to sweat and transform your life!

It’s normal, for some, to feel euphoric and energized after class but it’s even more normal to feel a bit knackered … at first. Don’t despair! You will feel better during class once you learn to manage the heat and breathe normally. The best way to do that is to come back tomorrow and try again, try your best, your best is always enough! In fact, to get the best results you should take as many classes as possible your first few weeks. Our Introductory Offer of 3 classes in 10 days is a good way to get started!

Here are some tips to help you prepare for class
  • Arrive 15 minutes beforehand so you have enough time to find your way around, meet your instructor and settle in.
  • Remember to allow ample time for traffic, parking and finding the studio, our classes start on time.
  • Make sure you’re well hydrated: drink 1-2 litres of water throughout the day.
  • Try not to eat a large meal within 2 hours of the start of class. However, if you’re starving have something small – a piece of fruit, bliss ball, light snack – to stave off the hunger pangs and give you a shot of energy.
  • Finally be prepared to sweat, stretch, laugh and do more for your health, body and general well-being than you ever imagined possible.

  • An open mind, courageous attitude and a smile!
  • A large towel to cover your mat, an extra one if you want to shower.
  • A bottle of water (no glass).
  • A mat if you have one, otherwise you can hire one for $2
  • We also hire towels $3 and sell bottles of water at reception.

  • Comfortable clothing that you can move and sweat in.
  • Fitted, breathable active gym gear, i.e. leggings or shorts and a singlet.
  • Avoid wearing track pants and heavy t-shirts, remember it is hot!
  • We practice in bare feet, so come in and stretch those toes out!

Our classes range from no heat,  to between 35-38 degrees depending on class type.

The heat helps detoxify the body and enables a safer more intense stretch allowing you to work safely and more deeply into the postures, giving faster results.

Your first class can be a little overwhelming but it does get better! Notice how good you feel over the next 24 hours and come back for more the next day 🙂

We find the best way to acclimatise to the heat is to stay in the room, you can sit down or lie down and rest whenever you need to, as much as you want. Of course if you have an emergency you can leave anytime!

Please leave your phone outside the yoga room. If you have a special reason for needing to have your phone with you, please alert the teacher before class and set it to silent or vibrate. Please also leave your bags and shoes outside.

We want the yoga room to be a calm and clutter free space.

Yes we do for daily use during your class, please bring your own padlock

Yes, we have three showers in the womens bathrooms and two in the mens.

Come back! Sooner rather than later!  

Warm up your body again and stretch it out, give yourself and your body a few classes to adjust and you will feel better. The more classes you do, the better you will feel!

It is quite common to have a headache or feel dizzy or nauseous during or after your first couple of classes.  These are classic signs of the detoxification process taking place and/or you may have been a little dehydrated prior to coming to class.

Consider using an electrolyte supplement to take before, during or after class — some people find that coconut water helps, we also sell NUUN electrolytes which are sugar free, pop it into your water and it will work wonders!  Again, drink lots of water, however, avoid drinking too much water during class, most of your water intake should be at least 1 hour before class.
