Hot yoga and hot flow are suitable for most people. Please note that both practices are vigorous and take place in a heated room, with temperatures reaching up to 36˚C.

Children under 16, individuals who are currently breastfeeding, and those with serious heart or cardiovascular conditions are not encouraged to participate in heated classes.

Pregnant individuals are also advised to avoid hot classes. Non-heated classes may be an option after the first trimester.

If you’re unsure whether a heated class is appropriate for you, please consult your doctor before participating.

Heated classes (hot yoga and hot flow) are physically and mentally challenging classes. If you like physical challenges, you will love these styles.

If you are practicing these classes for the first time, allow yourself at least 10 classes to get used to the heat, humidity and style.

Bring a practice towel that covers your mat and helps you during the sweaty practice. Beach or shower towels are not recommended as they don’t offer enough grip you need for certain postures.

During your practice you may rest at any time but commit to staying in the room for the entire class.

Be well hydrated and drink plenty of water before and after your class.

Practice on a non-slippery and comfortable yoga mat. The practice is so much better if your hands and feet are not sliding on the mat during class.

Make sure you wear comfortable clothing.

Have some tea or some water before your session.

Wash your feet and hands before entering the practice room for a better class experience. Our changing rooms have showers and complimentary organic body wash.

Enter the practice room +/-10 minutes before start of class, find a space for your mat, prepare your props (if necessary), get grounded and offer yourself a few moments of stillness.

Above all, maintain a regular yoga practice. Discipline and commitment are key as you walk the path of yoga.

Do some practice and take a class even if you are not in your best shape or mood. These are usually the times you can really create an energetic shift in your perception.

Combine different styles and try to work with a few teachers that you like and resonate with.

Talk to your teachers if you have any questions regarding your practice. This can be as simple as how to make a posture more accessible for your body.

Take workshops, masterclasses, courses and retreats, read inspirational books, study meditation, anatomy, philosophy, nutrition or any other themes that interest you. Always find time for your home practice.

Yoga is a great tool to support you throughout pregnancy and help prepare your body and mind for childbirth. However, it’s important to keep a few key considerations in mind. As your body changes, your practice should evolve too – focusing on gentler, less strenuous movements. Always speak with your instructor and ask for individual guidance tailored to your needs.

The following is not an exhaustive list but provides key guidelines for a safe and supportive yoga practice during pregnancy:

1. Avoid Asanas That:

   • Involve deep twists or wringing actions (e.g. Revolved Triangle, Twisted Lunge, Twisted Chair, Revolved Side Angle, Ardha Matsyendrasana, Marichyasana II & III).

   • Compress the uterus, such as deep forward bends (e.g. Seated Forward Fold with head down, Janu Sirsasana with head on the knee) or prone backbends (e.g. Cobra, Locust, Bow Pose).

   • Heavily engage the abdominal muscles (e.g. Side Plank).

   • Include prolonged inversions, especially between weeks 10–13 (when the placenta attaches to the uterus wall), and later in pregnancy when optimal blood flow to the uterus is vital.

   • Require advanced balance (e.g. arm balances).

   • Demand precise alignment in inversions (e.g. Shoulder Stand), which may be challenging or unsafe due to shifts in body weight and center of gravity.

   • Risk overstretching ligaments already loosened by pregnancy hormones (e.g. Hanumanasana, Standing Splits). In deep opening poses like Upavistha Konasana or Kapotasana, remain within your usual range and support the pelvis with props as needed.

   • Involve deep squatting (e.g. Malasana) if the cervix is shortened before 36 weeks. Otherwise, hip openers can be beneficial.

2. Vinyasa Classes:
   Generally not recommended due to their dynamic pace. Avoid jumping in sun salutations and any core-intensive poses, abdominal twists, or deep compression of the belly.

3. Myofascial Release (MFR):
   Not advised during pregnancy because of potential effects on pressure points, the nervous system, and blood circulation.

4. Breathwork (Pranayama):
   Avoid any practices that engage the core or involve breath retention, such as Kapalabhati or Bhastrika.

5. Energetic Practices:
   Avoid any involving rectus abdominis engagement or belly compression, such as Uddiyana Bandha, throughout the entire pregnancy.

6. Pilates Classes:
   Generally not suitable during pregnancy due to core activation and abdominal compression.

Please stay home if you are sick.

Please be advised we must enforce a strict cancellation policy to support our studio operations. We will keep track of late cancellations due to illness to ensure this policy is not abused.

If you have a yoga mat, feel free to bring it along. If you tend to sweat a lot, a practice towel can be helpful.

For heated classes, we recommend bringing two towels (one for your mat and one for after class), as well as a bottle of water to stay hydrated during and after your practice.

Don’t worry if you forget something – we have mats, towels, and water available for rent or purchase at the front desk.

We recommend light clothing, whatever you feel comfortable in, and that allows you to move freely; such as shorts, leggings, sports bras, tank tops or T-shirts.

When you come for a hot yoga or hot flow class, keep in mind that the room is heated and you will sweat. Wear clothing you feel comfortable getting sweaty in.

All our classes are practised with bare feet.

Come to class on a semi-empty stomach and do not to eat any heavy meals 3 hours before class. However, do make sure you are well nourished, as you will need energy for your class, but avoid heavy meals for at least 2 hours before your practice.

If you are hungry before class and need an energy boost, have a smoothie, some nuts or an energy bar (moderation is key).

It’s always recommended to talk to your teacher before class about any injuries or special conditions you have that might affect your yoga practice. This way teachers will know what modifications to give you to make your practice more accessible.

Be well hydrated and drink plenty of water before and after class, especially if attending hot classes. 

Simple things such as recycling, taking shorter showers, choosing sustainable brands, getting a reusable water bottle, and refusing plastic as much as you can every day can make a big difference.

You could also consider getting a durable, non-toxic, and biodegradable mat. Also think about the clothes and brand you wear. Choose eco-friendly brands whenever possible. Your body will thank you for it as well as the planet.

We have a great selection of eco-friendly mats and clothes in our boutique to empower your practice. Talk to our staff members to get more advice on sustainable yoga brands and to discuss your needs.

We recommend that you consciously take the opportunity to discover and combine different yoga styles, work with different teachers, listen to your body’s needs (what do I need today?) so you can maximize the benefits of practice.

Unless you need to go to the toilet, we recommend you to stay in the room for the entire class. You’re welcome to rest, sit or lay down at any time during your practice.

We welcome anyone from 12 years old if they are motivated to come and can stay focused for the class. We recommend to avoid hot classes before 16 years old..

Minors should practice with their legal guardian/ parent and should be accompanied by them at all times.
