Can I drink water during my session?

Absolutely!  We encourage it!  Making sure you are well hydrated during your session improves your performance and will improve your ability to detoxify while you sweat. (Check out our 20 Tips to Prepare for Hot Yoga, here .)

 

Will I be standing on carpet?

No!  You will be standing on special low VOC vinyl flooring designed especially for the demanding conditions of hot yoga.  It is also non-slip to provide a good stable base. Plus, you'll have a yoga mat!

 

Do I have to be an experienced yoga practitioner to join?

No! All levels of yoga are welcome!  From the hot yoga first timer to the highly experienced yogi, you are able to participate and get maximum benefit from the hot yoga experience no matter your previous experience. Yoga Pulse truly is the motto: Yoga. Every Body. All the Time. We make sure our classes are inclusive for All Levels!

 

Why green drinks?

Green drinks are delicious, refreshing, and cold.  They are a great way to rehydrate after a strenuous yoga work out.  The greens are full of anti-oxidants that will slow aging by protecting your body’s cells from oxidative stress and damage.  The fruits are delicious and, in addition to the fiber from the greens, have pectin to help cleanse the colon.

​

Is practicing yoga at 104 degrees Fahrenheit safe?

Yes. However, you should contact your own physician to be sure you do not have an underlying medical condition that might make this activity inappropriate for some.

 

How is the environment controlled?

Yoga Pulse Studio’s main studio is carefully climate controlled using a state of the art system to keep the humidity between 40-60% and the temperature at 104 degrees F.  The air has been run through a filtration system and UV light to sanitize the air.  This system is similar to what hospitals use to keep the air clear of germs.

 

What if I can’t do all of the poses?

No problem! Just do your best, relax, and focus on your breathing. Flexibility will come with practice.  Yoga is not limited to the flexibile, it is for all who are willing! Our Hot yoga classes are made for participants to enjoy the experience.

 

What should I bring to class?

It is important to bring water and a yoga mat with towel.  Be sure to wear clothing that will allow you to move and stretch.  You will sweat. Of course, if you don’t have everything you need, we have equipment to rent or purchase.
