From the reviews

After my climbing gym closed for renovations, I was looking for a new space where I could work-out and get a good sweat going. Hot Vessel has become that place and more, shifting everything I thought I knew about Pilates and yoga.

I’m obsessed! It was my first class there and I’ll definitely be back weekly - it’s so fresh and clean and hot!! I love it! Most importantly I got to meet the new owner and teacher of today’s hot Yoga class! She was amazing, warm, professional and just what my body needed!

Your first hot yoga class at Hot Vessel

Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
