1. WHAT SHOULD I DO TO PREPARE FOR MY HOT YOGA CLASS?

• Before you book your Hot Yoga class please read our STUDIO PROCEDURES

• If you’re really nervous about starting Hot Yoga come to one of our many beginner friendly classes. They include Equilibrium, Enhance, Epic, and Essentials and are a nice introduction to hot yoga.

• Wear light, comfortable clothes. You will sweat a lot so anything heavy or baggy will be uncomfortable. Shorts/leggings and vest or dry flow top are suitable.

• Bring a yoga mat, two large towels and water. If you are stuck, we do have Mats and Towels to hire for €2 per item, water is also available to buy.

• For your comfort try not to eat too much in the 2 hours before class. Hydrate well, drink at least one litre of water throughout the day before your class.

2. WHAT ABOUT PARKING?

Parking is free but make sure that you park in a designated K4 car parking space or any unassigned car space facing the hedge. Clampers are in operation Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 5.30pm and the release fee is €125. There are no parking restrictions at weekends or after 5.30pm on weekdays.

3. ANYTHING I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ARRIVING AT THE STUDIO?

• All classes/sessions start on time. Arrive no more than 15 minutes before your class begins to allow yourself time to check in and prepare for class.

• Always let your instructor know if you have any niggles or injuries or anything that may restrict your participation.

• When you arrive at INFINITY:

  • Please CHECK IN at the desk.

  • Please RESPECT PERSONAL SPACE.

  • DO NOT COME to INFINITY if you are feeling unwell.

4. WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE HOT ROOM?

• Please remove your shoes before entering.

• No phones. They should be on silent and placed in lockers provided.

• Spaces are clearly marked for your comfort and convenience.

• Please place your mat at a place marker.

• If you feel like resting during the class, sit/lie down on your mat and drink some water.

• Just listen to your body and do as much as you can, stay within your pain free range of movement.

• It is important to stay until the end of class, because that’s the best bit… so, even if you feel like leaving, sit/lie down, have a drink and when you feel better, join back in with the class.

5. AND AFTER THE CLASS?

• Please use your towel to wipe your mat before you lift it or roll it.

• If you have used one of our mats please hang it in the drying space and spray it down.

• If you have hired one of our towels, please place it in the laundry basket located in reception.

• You are welcome to use our changing facilities and showers.

• Hydrate to replace fluids lost through sweating, approx. 1-2 litres of water. It is also very important to replace electrolytes by eating plenty of fruit, vegetables, seeds and nuts, and using a little bit of rock/sea salt with your main meal.

6. ANYTHING ELSE?

• Infinity Hot Yoga is not responsible for any lost or stolen property. You are welcome to lock your valuables in the lockers provided. Please bring your own lock.

• We work hard to keep our facility clean, safe and sanitised, so please let us know if you see anything amiss.

• If you have any other questions or concerns, message, call or email us.

• Have fun, relax, and enjoy yourself!

7. WHY THE HEAT?

The heat is your friend! It improves muscle elasticity, allowing you to stretch your muscles more effectively. Joint mobility is also improved as the heat makes synovial fluid in the joint less viscous so that it can move around and lubricate your joints more effectively. The heat also helps to improve your circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the tissues of the body and removing metabolic wastes (aka toxins). Your skin is the largest system in the body and it gets a great workout as you sweat all over. You will be warm and comfortable when lying on the floor for your final savasanah, so you will be able to relax without feeling cold.

8. WHAT IF I’M NOT FLEXIBLE?

Saying that you’re not flexible enough to do yoga is like saying that you’re too hungry to eat, or too dirty to take a bath! So, no excuses, come in and you will improve your flexibility. Just be patient with yourself and stay within your pain free range of motion.

9. WHAT CLASSES CAN I ATTEND?

You can attend any class on the schedule. You are not tied into a block or a particular day when you practice with us. If you have never practiced yoga before, stay away from Evolve and Expand. If you’re really nervous about starting Hot Yoga come to one of our beginner friendly classes (Equilibrium, Epic, Enhance or Essentials).

10. DO YOU ACCEPT CARD PAYMENTS?

Yes. We accept card payments at the studio. All bookings are now prepaid online.

11. SHOULD I START HOT YOGA IF I’M PREGNANT?

If you do not already have an established Hot Yoga practice, then NO, you are recommended to choose specialised pregnancy yoga classes.

If you have an established Hot Yoga practice with us and become pregnant, please talk to us so that we can advise you on suitable classes and posture modifications.
