What do I need to know for my first time?

The room is heated to 42 degrees Celsius so be prepared to work hard and sweat.

Be hydrated! Have at least 3 liters of water in the 24 hours prior to your first class. Doctors estimate we need at least 2 liters for normal body maintenance.

The class is designed for all levels of fitness but if you have special medical conditions please consult your doctor first.

Please do not wear strong perfume and deodorants – some people may be allergic.

What should I wear?

As little as you feel comfortable in! Shorts, running vest, leggings – something light (dress for the beach) sweatpants and baggy clothes not recommended.

What do I need to bring with me?

A large towel or two

Yoga mat (you can borrow one of ours to start with - although we wash them regularly with environmentally friendly tea-tree based products, your own will be more hygienic. We also sell mats at the club).

Water

Sense of humour

Open mind

How will I feel after Class?

Shower, put on dry clothes, drink plenty of water, eat whatever you fancy and then listen to your body – you may feel energised, completely and deliciously relaxed or even a little emotional! All reactions are normal.

The next day you may feel a little sore (though less than if you had practiced in a cool environment) - the best thing to do is come back the next day or within 48 hours and allow the magic to work.

Abandon the competitive mindset

Although Yoga Championships have been held in India for thousands of years, your own practice is absolutely non-competitive nor is it merely a physical workout program. It’s not about how far one goes into a posture, but rather how mindfully. To stay present in your body to every feeling, to remain conscious of every breath is to do yoga. Yoga is skill in action.

Abandon all fear
