| - A few years ago, I wanted to try hot yoga and figured I'd look to Groupon to get a good deal. I found True Hot Yoga in my home city and decided to check it out. I liked it so much that I bought another Groupon 6 months later, and most recently a few months ago. Disclaimer: these deals are not valid for those who have been to the studio in the last year or with an active package.
When you go, keep it minimal: bring with you a yoga mat, yoga towel to put on the mat, and water. Wear flip flops (no socks) and leave personal belongings in your car trunk (take your keys obviously). Leave your flip flops in the cubby or on the floor outside of the room and enter. The yoga room is a good size with space for 2 rows: one in the front closer to the mirror and one in the back. There are mirrors on the two sides as well, which are helpful for checking your posture. If you haven't done yoga before, hot yoga here follows the same routine of poses and exercises and you get the hang of it after a few sessions. I've enjoyed the past and current teachers I've had; everyone has been competent and slightly different in their teaching methods, which keeps it interesting. Some play better music than others, but all provide a safe and welcoming space to workout. Hot yoga is tough, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, but it's great exercise. I always feel good afterwards and it's an ideal addition to other workouts because it helps to stretch the muscles.
I haven't used their bathrooms to shower but they are available for use. I recommend doing these classes in the summer because you'll already be hot and sweaty and the temperature outside will match your body, which helps to keep you from getting sick. The regular packages are expensive, but if you find that the classes are enjoyable, they are worth it. I'd recommend at least trying a few sessions to see how you like it!
