For your safety, we ask you to carefully read our guide to getting started at Senses and guidelines for Hot Yoga. This will ensure you have the best experience and get the most out of your training.

HOT YOGA

HOT YOGA is calm but intense yoga in 37-39 ˚C. The yoga poses are guided at a relaxed pace, allowing time to feel and work with your body, so you learn how to perform the poses correctly and safely.

We hold the yoga poses for several breaths, challenging your physical and mental endurance.

Your body will perspire, and you will train your concentration, coordination, balance, and breath awareness. During the class, we work our entire body and conclude with a meditative relaxation.

Who can participate? HOT YOGA is a good place to start if you are new to the heated room. There is time to get the basic understanding of the postures in place. The more experienced yogi will also be challenged. If you are pregnant, we advise against practicing in the heated room.

In YIN YOGA, you can direct your attention to the breath, inner calmness, and releasing tension and muscular activity in the body. The various stretches increase the flexibility of the body’s connective tissues, stimulate the meridian channels, digestion, internal organs, and enhance energy flow throughout the body.

General information about HOT YOGA:

HOT YOGA is yoga practiced in heat. When the body works in heat, the training becomes more intense. The heat reduces tension and helps the muscles relax, allowing you to go deeper into the poses. You will focus on your breath, and all your senses will sharpen. There are many benefits to HOT YOGA:

• You get intense and effective training.
• You become more flexible and stronger quickly.
• You sweat more in the heat, eliminating toxins while training.
• You increase metabolism, and your skin becomes clearer.
• You train your focus and develop mental resilience.

In Senses’ HOT YOGA room, the temperature is 37-39 ˚C. This is equivalent to your body temperature and means that the body recognizes the heat and quickly adapts. You can expect to spend the first few classes getting used to the heat.
