FAQ

There is an incredible list of benefits of Yoga. These are just few:

  • Increased flexibility & muscle strength
  • Perfects your posture
  • Increased energy & vitality
  • Stimulates the adrenal glands
  • Builds awareness & encourages a healthy lifestyle

New students are encouraged to start with a Single Class or a 10 Class pack. Most beginners find that after 3 to 5 classes, they feel so much better in their body from the yoga, and feel more confident in the yoga room

Pre-registration is recommended for all classes to secure a spot. Walk ins are welcome, if there is space. You can book classes on Mindbody.

Go for comfort over style: tank tops, sports bra, breathable tees, yoga leggings, shorts, or running shorts are ideal. Avoid pants, sweats and long-sleeve shirts. Undergarments or see-through garments are not permitted as your only clothes in the yoga room.
A yoga mat, large towel (or a few towels), a bottle of water, and clothes you feel comfortable sweating in. We have mat and towels available for rent and of course, we sell water.
Each class begins promptly. We expect everyone to be in the yoga room before class starts, and the studio opens 30 minutes before class. Students will not be allowed to enter class if they are late.

Come to class on an empty stomach. Most students feel like eating two hours before class gives them enough energy to fuel their workouts without running on completely empty. Everyone is different, and after a few classes, you’ll find what works best for you. Just don’t come hungry–you burn an insane amount of calories in class, and your body needs the fuel!

Most importantly, please come to class well hydrated. You need to drink a lot of water throughout the day to ensure you’re properly hydrated for class (half your body weight iounces). Once class begins, hold off on drinking water until “party time” to allow your body to heat up and for your mind to stay focused.

Aim to practice 3 to 5 times a week. The more often you practice, the quicker you will see results. Sometimes it takes a few classes for your body to get acclimated to exercising in a heated environment. We encourage new students to practice at least 10 times in the first 30 days to give this yoga a fair chance and to really see the benefits in daily life.
Each class is e 60 minutes. We do not permit students to leave early. Practicing yoga is like taking a prescription: if you change it, take something out, or stop early, it’s not fully effective until you finish the entire dose. Each class works the same way! Consider making your health a bigger priority in your schedule.
We encourage all students to stay in the yoga room for the entire 60 minutes. Before leaving the room, we suggest sitting down and taking as many breaks as needed. Moving between the high heat and the cool room puts more stress on your body. The class is a “meditation” and part of the practice is building your concentration, determination, and self-control. You will be amazed at how quickly your body and mind acclimate to and find discipline in the heat. You do not need permission to leave the room, but it improves your practice and the benefits for your body to stay in the room for the entire 60 minutes. If you absolutely must leave the room, make sure the teacher knows you’ve left and come back as quickly as possible.
Yes! Yoga helps heal old injuries and prevent new ones. The heat is therapeutic for your muscles, joints, and tissue. For existing injuries and medical conditions, the healing process can be supported with the continued practice of traditional hot yoga. We ask students to notify the instructor of any existing injuries so they can help you during class (making sure we have an alert in your file is another way to help us remember). The general guide when practicing with an injury is: take it easy, listen to your body, and perform postures to your tolerance level.
Maybe. Heat and pregnancy don’t always go hand-in-hand—unless your body is used to it with consistent practice (at least 6 months) and you have permission from your doctor.
Yes! Hot yoga is excellent for helping align and strengthen your body and is a great compliment to all other forms of exercise. For many athletes, hot yoga is an amazing way to heal and recover from stress their bodies experience with high-impact sports or other workouts. Hot yoga will help you achieve your “personal best”!
Connection. We care about community, and we think kindness is cool. We are real, practicing fallible, joy-filled, kind, curious, striving Connecticut yogis who want to share everything we know and love with you. We want you to be the best version of yourself. Yoga only works when you show up on your mats!
