Heated Mondays and Fridays
New to heated classes? This page is a complete guide designed to answer the most common questions and help you decide whether heated classes feel right for you - from what the heat is like, to what you can expect when you arrive.
Weekly classes
Hot Vinyasa Yoga
Monday 6-7pm and 7:15-8:15pm
This heated vinyasa class is designed to feel warm, supportive and energising, rather than overwhelming. The heat from infra red heaters is dry and comfortable, helping the body move more freely — especially during the colder months.
The pace is dynamic but accessible, with options offered throughout so you can adjust the practice to suit your body and experience.
Ideal if you enjoy movement that builds warmth, strength and focus, while still feeling well guided and supported.
A strong, energetic way to start the week.
Hot Pilates
Friday 4:50-5:40pm
This is a gently heated Pilates class designed to help you build strength, stability and control in a supportive, focused way. The warmth is present but not overpowering, adding a layer of ease to the body without turning it into a high-intensity, sweaty workout.
Expect slow, controlled movements, deep core work, and thoughtful pacing that allows you to really connect to what you’re doing rather than rushing through it.
The class is suitable for all levels, with options to make it more or less challenging depending on how your body feels.
A steady, strengthening way to close the week.
Bi weekly-class
Hot Reset
Friday 6:00-7:15
This is heated, extended 75min practice designed to help you move, release and properly switch off at the end of the week.
The warmth is steady rather than intense, supporting the body through movement before inviting it to fully settle.
Expect a fluid, dynamic flow to begin with, gradually easing into slower, softer work, followed by a deliberate downshift — this might include breathwork, sound, or guided rest.
The class is suitable for all levels, with space to take it at your own pace and make it your own. Particularly supportive if you’ve had a full week and need both movement and stillness.
A complete reset for body and mind.
Heated Classes FAQs
What does “heated” actually mean here?
The studio is warm rather than extreme. We use dry heat, which feels comfortable and supportive — not sticky or humid. The temperature has been carefully tested and adjusted, and the feedback so far has been reassuringly consistent: “The heat was just right.” The aim is to support movement and relaxation, especially during colder months — not to overwhelm you.
Do I need to have done hot yoga/Pilates before?
No. Most people coming to Heated Mondays are trying heated classes for the first time. You don’t need experience, confidence, or flexibility. Everything is taught with options, and you’re always encouraged to move at your own pace.
What’s the difference between the two Monday evening classes?
The classes are the same - dynamic sequences with flowing movement that builds heat and energy. Both offer options for all levels.
What if I feel too warm?
You’re always free to:
-
pause
-
rest
-
change how you’re moving
-
or step outside the room if needed
There’s no expectation to push through discomfort. Listening to your body is actively encouraged.
What should I wear or bring?
Wear what you’d normally practice in — light, comfortable clothing works well
Bring water.
You can bring your own mat if you have one and prefer it (or borrow ours)
A small towel is optional (many people don’t need one due to the dry heat)
We stock a small selection of hot yoga towels and rugs that you can put on top of our mat
No special equipment or preparation required.
Is it suitable if I’m stiff, returning after a break, or not very fit?
Yes. In fact, many people find warmth particularly helpful if they’re feeling stiff, tight, or sluggish.
All classes are taught with clear guidance and options, so you can adapt the practice to suit where you’re at on the day.
Why practice in a warm room at all?
Many people find that warmth:
-
helps muscles and joints feel more at ease
-
allows movement to feel smoother
-
encourages relaxation and focus
-
feels especially supportive during winter
If you’d like to read more about this, there’s also a short blog on the website explaining why warmth can be beneficial — and why it doesn’t need to be extreme.
Still unsure?
That’s completely normal.
If you’re curious but hesitant, you’re very welcome to start gently, ask questions, or simply come and see how it feels. And if there’s anything you’re unsure about that isn’t covered here, you’re always welcome to ask — by email or in person.
Both Monday evening classes are guided by Josie — a very experienced teacher with a calm, inclusive approach and heaps of experience teaching all levels. Friday classes are taught by Alexa who has a very inclusive teaching style and offers various levels making the class accessible for all.
Friday class is taught alternately by Aga and Josie.
There’s no pressure. Just a warm, considered space to move.
