We were all beginners once.

Doors open 20 minutes before class and close once class starts, so please arrive with plenty of time to spare.

We encourage all new students to drink plenty of water throughout the day leading up to class. Try not to drink too much right before you start though - a full tummy can make some postures harder to practice.

It's best to avoid eating for two hours before class. If you do need something, a small piece of fruit such as an apple is fine.

Please bring a yoga mat, a large towel and a bottle of water. We don't hire out mats or towels, so no mat/towel means no practice. If you forget your water bottle, don't worry... we sell bottled water at the studio so you won't go thirsty!

Wear light, comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting hot and sweaty in. Whatever you do, skip the long pants!

Absolutely! We're here to guide you and make sure you have the best possible introduction to Bikram Yoga and Hot Pilates. If you have any questions before or after class, just ask your teacher - they'll be more than happy to help.

Breathe in and out through your nose, not your mouth. This helps calm your mind, deepen your focus and keep you present throughout each posture.

Yes! Everyone is welcome to take breaks, including experienced students. You can lie in savasana with your feet toward the back wall, or kneel facing the front mirrors. Rejoin the class whenever you're ready.

It's completely normal to sweat and feel the heat, it's part of the practice. If you feel overwhelmed, the most important thing is to stay in the room. Take breaks as needed and let your body adjust.

Eat well, rehydrate and come back the next day if you can - we'd love to see you in the hot room again soon! And don't forget to thank yourself for making the time to practice!
