Absolutely yes! Yoga is for everybody, and for every body. We will walk you through what you need to know and chances are you won’t be the only beginner in the room. Come with a positive attitude and just do the best you can. Your best is always enough. Yoga is a lifetime practice and it begins with your very first class.

We heat the studio just enough to help warm your joints and muscles for practice, 94 – 98 Degrees Fahrenheit, or about your body temperature. Our infrared heat system is designed to make your practice more comfortable and beneficial. The room is intentionally heated to warm up the body and assist with circulation, promote detoxification and provide optimum conditions so that the change you want can happen more efficiently. It also allows you to work safely and deeply into the postures, giving faster results. The heat provides a challenging environment which increases your strength, concentration, endurance and stamina. The heat is definitely something that takes getting used to. Keep coming back, you will learn to tolerate the heat and use it to your advantage.

Wear clothes that allow you to move with ease, nothing binding or tight, but fitted rather than loose, so that your clothes don’t get in the way of your movement. The room is kept warm so if you wear sweatshirts or outer layers make sure you have something underneath so you can remove layers if necessary. If you sweat liberally you may wish to bring dry clothes to change into after class. Err on the side of “less is more” and choose clothes you’ll feel comfortable wearing.

We suggest a mat, towel, and water bottle. Blocks and yoga straps are provided at the studio and sanitized after each class. If you don’t have these items, no problem! We can rent a mat or towel for $5 and have a wide range of Manduka yoga products for you to purchase!

As with any form of exercise it is recommended that you practice an average of 3-4 times per week to receive the maximum benefits. However, heated yoga is safe to practice every day. In fact, many people will find their bodies craving this total body workout every day. The more often you practice, the greater and faster the results you will enjoy. We recommend that you come at least 10 times in your first month to truly experience what yoga can do for you.

All of our teachers are trained to work work with beginners. Our classes are challenging, but we love to instruct beginners. Class may feel hard at first. There are some things to learn, so you have to give yourself permission to be new and find enjoyment with where you’re at.

At yogaRIOT, all classes begin and end on time. We lock the doors at the beginning of class and do not permit late entrance. Unattended classes are marked as used and are not refundable. Please, come at least 5- 15 minutes before the start of class to scope out your spot and settle in!

If you are feeling unwell due to a cold or flu, please, do not come to “sweat it out.” This is NOT encouraged. Please, cancel your reservations and come back when you are feeling better and not contagious.

Yoga helps most of life’s physical ailments. Many joint and soft tissue injuries can be aided in healing through the practice, with appropriate modifications.

Come to yoga when you are healthy, come to yoga when you are hurting. But don’t come to yoga when you have a fever. The heat is hard on your heart muscle and you need to rest.

The simple act of intentional breathing in an infrared heated room can create a tremendous amount of healing in the body.

If you are injured, or physically/emotionally unwell, come early, set your mat, and breath. Be open to what happens, and you may even surprise yourself.
