New Student FAQ

What to expect during and after a class

All first class is challenging, so don’t be too hard on yourself in the beginning. It’s normal to feel uncomfortable when you start something new.

How to prepare for a hot class

Most of our classes are heated, reducing the need for a long warm up, helping with the initial inflexibility, plus it gets the heart rate up quickly.

Why the heat is beneficial

A heated practice when compared to a non-heated class has many extra therapeutic benefits

Are all the classes performed in the hot room? If yes, then how hot does it get?

Yes, almost all of our classes are taught in a medium to high heated humidified environment. Temperature ranges from 95 degrees Farenheit (35 degrees Celcius) to about 104 degrees Farenheit (40 degrees Celcius).

As a beginner, what class should I start with?

In general, all our classes are accessible to beginners and experienced students. Depending on your own personal well being, flexibility, age and fitness level, you may need to try out the classes in order to find the right fit.

Why breathing properly is important

Re-discover slow, restorative breathing technique to alleviate stress and induce relaxation. Being calm helps you bring reason into your thought process, lowers your stress level and ultimately makes you happier. A calm mind cultivates inner strength, creativity and self confidence.

Why it's important to engage in a Yoga and fitness activity as we age

There is no magic pill to reverse the aging process. But if you want to counter the biological mechanisms that drive age-related conditions, like the accumulation of senescent cells, you will need to exercise.

After trying out the 2 Weeks Introduction Package, what next?

Amazing, now that you have experienced some of the classes on schedule, you are probably thinking of what kind of packages or membership best suit you.

Studio Etiquette

Arrival Time

To ensure everyone is ready for their practice, please be on your mat at the start time of class. Once class has started, the main studio door will be locked and you will not be able to enter.

Yoga and Pilates Attire

Ladies are welcome to wear sports-bra, shorts/leggings. Men are welcome to take their shirt off in the hot room. Please note that thongs/underwear are not permitted (men/women) due to its revealing nature which can be very uncomfortable for our staff and members.

Zumba Attire and shoes

Please wear comfortable sports attire and non-marking indoor shoes only. No outdoor shoes, underwear and swimwear is allowed for all participants,

Indoor Shoes

Please remove all outdoor shoes in the lobby area and check in at the front desk prior to going to the change rooms. Be mindful of slipping on similar looking shoes that are not yours. Indoor slippers can be used in common areas but are not allowed inside the hot room with the exeption of staff on duty.

Glass Bottles

Glass bottles are not permitted inside the hot room at all times. Accidents happen and when a glass bottle breaks, unfortunately, this may cause the class to pause and as we are all barefoot, this will be unsafe as glass pieces may be left on the floor.

Cellphones

Please use your cellphone discreetly and be aware of your surroundings if you are doing a video call. Please be adviced that video calls are not permitted in the shower/washroom areas and in the hot room. All ringers must be off and cell phones are not permitted inside the hot room at all times with exception to staff on shift.

Shower

Our shower facilities are available to use after every hot and sweaty class. Please be informed that we do not allow hair removal, applying hair dye, hair mask and spraying body oil inside our shower and change facility. Unfortunately, this will cause longer wait times for other members, create safety hazard, extra cleaning and damage to the facility which will delay the smooth operation of the studio.

Odour / Fragrance

We keep our studio space perfume-free and we recommend you to make use of our shower facility should you need to rinse off perfume residue after a long day at work before entering the hot room. Please be mindful of personal hygiene when practicing or training in a group setting.

Excessive Sweat

If you sweat a lot, please bring an extra large towel to wipe off any sweat puddle pooling or surrounding your yoga mat in the hot room especially after a hot class to avoid anyone slip and fall. Please act responsibly and be considerate to other members. Extra towels can be rented from the studio if needed.

Noise

Please use discretion and mindful practice as you learn to navigate around the different classes. When entering the room for a Yoga class, keep conversation to a whisper or none at all. Many people prefer to meditate before a Hot Yoga or Yin Yoga class. High energy classes like Inferno Pilates and Zumba Fitness will be accompanied with music and the vibe will be less restrictive.

Props

After using studio props like blocks,bands, handweights etc, please return them to their storage for our team to sanitize them. When carrying handweights, please use both hands and never walk over a student who is lying down. Props may only be used as directed by teacher on shift.
