The studio provides hot vinyasa yoga classes in our very own pop-up, inflatable, heated studios – an intensive and balanced physical workout, restoring calm and clarity to the mind in our soothing, cocoon-like pods. 37°c heat warms the muscles and aids flexibility as well as making the heart work harder. Thousands of years of yoga tradition are pared down to some critical, logical and powerful elements; creating a highly accessible, high impact yoga for all ability levels.

    What our customers say

    Frequently asked questions

    What time should I arrive?

    Please arrive around 10 – 15 mins before the start of your class. The doors are locked when the class starts for security so we’re not able to let anyone in after the class has begun. Try not to arrive more than 15 minutes before the class start time, as there may still be people leaving from a previous class, plus our teachers will be getting the studio and pod ready to welcome you.

    If you know you will not be able to make it, please cancel your booking via the website or app so someone else can take your place. If it's within the cancellation period you'll automatically get your pass back.


    What should I bring?

    We provide mats (although you are welcome to bring your own). We recommend bringing plenty of water with you and wearing cool clothes as you will get sweaty. Yoga towels are required in all classes, but you can hire one from us if you forget. If you'd like to shower afterwards then bring an extra towel for that, or hire one of those too (please check with your local studio beforehand as facilities may vary slightly).


    I’ve never done hot yoga before, will I be ok?

    You will be absolutely fine! Just let the teacher know it’s your first lesson, take the class at your own pace and remember you can take a restorative pose and pause to catch your breath whenever you need to. Have a read of our blog on what to expect from your first class to find out more.

    If you are pregnant or under 16, then unfortunately you cannot come to our heated classes. If you have a medical condition you are not sure about, then please check with a medical professional beforehand.


    I'm having trouble booking classes on the website or app, help!

    If you're having problems booking via the website or app, then firstly try signing out and closing everything down (your browser or the app itself). Then try logging in again. If that doesn't sort things out and you’re still struggling, don't despair, contact your studio and they'll be happy to help. If you can, take a screenshot or picture of any error messages you're getting to help us sort this out and get you into your next class as quickly as possible.


    I've been referred by someone, how do I get my free class?

    If someone has given you their referral code, firstly - lucky you, you're in for a treat. To be able to get your free class added to your account, you will need to attend the same studio as your friend and enter the code when you create your account (in the box that asks 'Do you have a referral code?'). If it's not added then, unfortunately it can't be added later by you - but don't worry, you can contact the studio you are signing up to for help.
