First, let us help you set yourself up for success!

Read on to discover everything you need to know to have a great first class at Aryze Hot Yoga…

Before Class

• Drink plenty of water ahead of time. Think half of your body weight in ounces in the day leading up to class.

• Avoid eating heavy meals for up to 3 hours before class.

• Wear light, non-restrictive clothing. Ladies, think shorts or leggings, jog bra or halter top. Gentlemen, wear shorts or bathing trunks. T-shirts optional. Be prepared to sweat, a lot!

• Bring a mat, large towel, and water. We have mats, mat towels, and shower towels available for rent. We also have filtered water available to fill up your water bottle.

• Arrive no less than 10 minutes early. This way you can acquaint yourself with the studio layout, meet your teacher, set up in the room, and start on time.

During Class

• Listen carefully. Teachers will tell you what to do, how to do it, and why you should do it. Follow along the best you can. If you miss something, we do almost everything twice – so you can try again the second time.

• Sit down and rest if you need to. Try your best not to leave the room.

• Have a sip or two of water as needed between postures.

• Remember to breathe. Work less, breathe more.

After Class

• Stay in savasana. Your first instinct may be to get up and go – stay! Savasana helps you to recuperate and recover, and allows your heart rate and breath to return to normal. We recommend at least two minutes.

• Replenish with Electrolytes. This will help prevent headaches or cramping.

• Take a second class within 1-2 days. This will help you to learn the series, get used to the heat, and maximize your benefits.
