Need to know

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before stepping into the hot room — bookings, first classes, what to bring and how the studio works.

How do I book a class?

All bookings are made through our booking system BOOKAMAT.

15 Spaces available for each class. Please note that bookings are essential otherwise there may not be a spot left for you if you have not booked first.

What to expect from my first class?

We encourage you to prepare for your classes through hydrating as best as possible. Each class, every person, and every day will present a different experience in the hot room. It is not uncommon to feel a little dizzy or nauseous during your first few classes. Don’t be afraid to lie down when you feel a little overwhelmed. Take each class at your own pace

Make the most of your 1-week introduction pass, see what works for you. The first 1- 2 weeks are the hardest, this allows a start to create a new habit.

What do I need to do to prepare for class?

Please drink plenty of water or coconut water and fully hydrate yourself before your class. Avoid eating any heavy meals 2 hours prior to class. A nice fresh Juice with crushed ice is always great fuel booster before and after class. It will help sustain energy levels leading up to class and after.

Do I need any special clothing?

Yoga and/or Pilates gear. Something that is light weight such as exercise gear. Shorts and singlet or t-shirt. We want you to feel comfortable in the room. The room is heated to 35-38+ degrees.

Can I practice if I am pregnant?

Always consult with your doctor before stepping into the Hot Room. If you have been practicing regularly for at least six months, you can continue to practice through your pregnancy at modified pace. It is advised that you wait until after the first trimester to continue your practice.

How often do you recommend I practice?

Consistency is the key to any type of practice. It takes 21 days to create a new habit and 90 to keep it. We encourage you to practice as often as you are able to. 3-4 times per week is ideal to get the best benefits from the power movement.

Studio Etiquette

Pigeon holes are provided to keep loose items in before you enter the studio room. Shoes will need to be removed upon entry to the studio in reception area. This is a quiet space so minimal talking please. You are allowed to talk but please keep volume to a minimum. Please note there are no showers at the moment but a change room is available if needed.
