Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve never done hot yoga before. Can I come?

Absolutely. You don’t need to be flexible, experienced, or accustomed to the heat. Our classes are designed to meet you where you are. Listen to your body, take breaks when you need them, and let your practice unfold at your own pace.

Is hot yoga really that hot?

Yes—but you’ll acclimate. Depending on the class, our rooms range from warm to very hot. The heat is part of the practice, but it isn’t something you need to conquer. Your first few classes may feel intense. Give yourself time to learn how your body responds.

What should I bring?

Bring a yoga mat, water, and a towel. We also recommend a second towel for particularly sweaty practices. If you don’t have a mat or towel, rentals are available at the studio.

What should I wear?

Wear clothing you can move and sweat in comfortably. Lightweight, fitted clothing tends to work well. Leave the heavy layers at home—you’ll warm up quickly.

Should I eat before class?

Avoid a large meal for about 2–3 hours before class. If you need something closer to class, choose something light and easy to digest. And hydrate throughout the day rather than trying to drink a huge amount of water right before class.

How much water should I drink?

Come hydrated and continue drinking water throughout the day. During class, drink when your body tells you to. You don’t need to force yourself to finish a certain amount.

What if I feel dizzy, nauseous, or overwhelmed by the heat?

Stop. Rest. Breathe. There is no prize for pushing through. Come out of the posture, sit or lie down, and let your body settle. If you don’t feel better, leave the room and let a teacher know. Learning when to pause is part of the practice.

Will I sweat a lot?

Probably. That’s part of the experience. Bring your towel, embrace the sweat, and remember: everyone in the room is doing the same thing.

Do I have to be flexible?

Nope. You don’t have to touch your toes, do a handstand, or look like anyone else in the room. Flexibility is something that can develop through practice—not a prerequisite for it.

Do I have to do every pose?

Absolutely not. Your practice belongs to you. Take a child’s pose, rest, modify a posture, or simply breathe whenever you need to. Our teachers will offer guidance, but you are always encouraged to listen to your own body.

What if I need to leave the room?

You can. Your body comes first. If you need to step outside, do so quietly and safely. There is no shame in taking a break.

Can I do hot yoga if I’m out of shape?

Yes. Hot yoga isn’t reserved for a particular body type, fitness level, age, or level of flexibility. Start where you are. The practice will meet you there.

What should I expect after my first class?

You may feel energized, calm, accomplished—or completely spent. You may also be a little sore the next day. Drink water, eat well, and give your body some recovery time. Most importantly, don’t judge your first class. Your first class is simply your first class.

How often should I practice?

There is no magic number. Start with a pace that feels sustainable for you. As your body acclimates, you may find yourself wanting to practice more often. Consistency matters more than intensity.

Can I practice hot yoga if I also do other forms of exercise?

Definitely. Many of our students mix hot yoga with strength training, running, Pilates, cycling, and other movement practices. Different practices offer different things—and your body benefits from variety.

What makes Korsi different?

We believe yoga is more than what happens in the shapes.

The heat asks you to become present. The practice asks you to stay. And somewhere along the way, you may discover that you’re capable of more than you thought.

The lift—and the falling away.

That’s Korsi.
