Everything you need to know
Before Class
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to arrive fully hydrated and avoid eating a heavy meal for up to three hours before class.
Wear light, non-restrictive clothing. Women: wear shorts or leggings and a jog bra or halter top. Men: wear shorts or bathing trunks; T-shirts are optional. Be prepared to sweat!
Bring a mat, a large towel, and a water bottle. We rent and sell mats and towels, and sell water bottles. We have a complimentary water station with filtered electrolyte water, and self-coded lockers and showers.
Arrive at least 15 minutes early to check in with your teacher, get oriented to the studio, and set up in the yoga room. Class always starts on time, and the door locks when class begins.
During Class
Listen carefully. Your teacher will tell you what to do, how to do it, and why you should do it. Follow along as best you can. If you miss something, we do almost everything twice, so you can try again the second time.
Stay with us in the room. It takes time to get used to the heat – in time you’ll relish it. Sit down and rest if you need to, and drink as much water as you need. Always remember to breathe. Work less, breathe more.
After Class
Stay in Savasana, the resting pose. It helps you recuperate and recover, allowing your heart rate and breathing to return to normal. We recommend at least two minutes; you can take as long as you like.
Replenish your electrolytes to help prevent headaches or cramping. You may be hungry or have less appetite; feel energetic or need a nap. Be patient and avoid self-judgment as your body adapts.
Take your next class within 1-2 days, even if you feel sore. It will help you to learn the series, get used to the heat, and maximize your benefits. We recommend practicing at least three times per week.
How to livestream
Pre-register and set up Zoom
We’ll send you a Zoom link after you book your class. If you have never used Zoom, log in beforehand or download the app. You can use a laptop computer, tablet, or phone to connect with us. You will be muted, but you can use chat to reach out. Showing yourself on video is optional.
Set up your space
Bikram Yoga is most effective in a heated and humid environment. If you have a small room or bathroom with enough space, add a space heater and humidifier. A hot, steamy shower before class is a great way to start. We’ll provide more detail on setting up a space for hot yoga. In the meantime, start in any space that works for you.
Take your class
Use a yoga mat or practice on carpeting, and use a large towel. Have water on hand. If you’re unfamiliar with the postures, you can see what students are doing in the yoga room. The teacher won’t see you, but will give you precise instructions on what to do and how to do it.
