Hot Hatha Yoga

Hot Hatha Yoga

Hot Hatha Yoga Studio at the Robinhood Family YMCA
Our new state of the art Hot Yoga Studio provides a place to improve your balance, strength and flexibility. Take your fitness and health to a new level as you strengthen every muscle, tendon, gland and organ in your body. The heated room provides a safe place to enhance flexibility and proper alignment while detoxifying the body through sweating.

What is Hot Hatha Yoga?
This class is a 90-minute challenging sequence of Yoga postures designed to strengthen the spine. The lineage comes from 84 postures in Calcutta, India. Through a series of standing, balancing, floor and breathing exercises, you will safely achieve greater strength, flexibility, overall health and vitality as you breather from one posture to the next. The room is heated in order to help safely align the body, allow for deeper stretch and opening and aid in detoxification. In other words, the heat will enhance your yoga postures. You don’t have to be flexible to do this class. All you need to do is breathe and try the right way.  Be prepared to sweat and try your best. Beginners and advanced yogis will enjoy this class. Avoid eating approximately 2-3 hours prior to class. Bring your  yoga mat, big towel, water, positive attitude, and a smile!
