Frequently Asked Questions
I've never done yoga, is this really for me and what classes should I take?
Yes, it is for you! In most of our classes you will see all levels of students; from people who have never practiced yoga before to seasoned yoga practitioners. Yoga is for everybody! Always remember, we all were new to yoga at one point! We have 2 yoga rooms to serve your needs. Some new students like to start in our Sol room. Our classes that are great for beginners in the Sol room are Warm Yoga, Warm 26 or Hot 26 classes. Some new students like to start in our Luna Room. Our classes that are great for beginners in the Luna room are Gentle Yoga, Foundation Yoga, and Yin Yang Yoga.
Read our class descriptions and see what classes peak your interest. Our yoga teachers will help new students by offering modifications, encouragement, and support in all our classes. You don’t need any experience, just remember to bring your open mind, your promise to listen to your body, and your willingness to focus on your successes. Please feel free to call or come to the studio with any questions!
How do I figure out which type of yoga is for me?
If you are looking for heated classes, classes in Sol room will speak to you. Sol is specifically designed for a Hot Yoga practice. We have several different classes in our Sol room, some people prefer the structure of a Warm 26 or Hot 26 classes so they can improve on the same 26 postures, others prefer a more varied experience, like what you’ll find in our Hot Flow and Warm Yoga classes. If you are looking for yoga practiced with no additional heat, our Luna room will speak to you. We have several different classes in our Luna room, from meditative/gentler classes to dynamic fast paced yoga classes.
We recommend trying a few classes in each type of yoga that we offer with a few different teachers to really identify what you love. Don’t be surprised when it turns out you love them all!

Our Hot Flow classes will rise to 105 degrees and our Hot 26 will rise to 108 degrees, and because of the control of the humidity in the room you will sweat it all out with ease of the breath. The humidity is guaranteed to be between 45% - 50%, never any lower or higher. It feels like the best sweat you've ever had!

We have special flooring made for yoga in both our Luna and Sol room. The surface layer provides excellent resistance to dirt build-up and contains a bacteriostat agent to suppress the buildup of bacteria – a healthy added bonus. A reinforced woven inner layer provides excellent shock-resistance, superior stability, and ease to the joints. You can feel the difference as soon as you step into the yoga rooms. This will feel like no other yoga flooring you've experienced!

Most of all, go at your own pace. You know your body best!
