Hot Yoga for Beginners: Tips and Tricks to Help You Get Started
If you're new to hot yoga, it can seem intimidating. But don't worry, with a few tips and tricks, you'll be ready to tackle your first class and reap the many benefits that come with hot yoga.
Hydrate Before Class: Drink plenty of water before your class to avoid dehydration. It's also a good idea to bring a water bottle with you to sip on during class.
Dress Appropriately: Wear breathable and moisture-wicking clothing to help regulate your body temperature during the class. Avoid cotton as it absorbs sweat and can make you feel uncomfortable.
Arrive Early: Arrive at least 10-15 minutes before class starts to give yourself time to acclimate to the heat and settle into your space.
Listen to Your Body: It's important to listen to your body during class, stay within your pain free range of motion and not push yourself too hard. Take breaks when you need to, and never push yourself beyond your limits.
Focus on Your Breath: The heat and intensity of the class can be overwhelming, so focus on your breath to stay calm and centered. Take slow, deep breaths in through your nose and out through your nose.
Stay for Savasana: Savasana, or corpse pose, is the final resting pose in a yoga class. It allows your body to fully relax and absorb the benefits of the practice.
