Class Schedule

Hot 90 (Bikram) – 90 Minute Beginners Class in a 105-degree room. This class is available to all body types and all levels of understanding. Hot Yoga builds an unshakable foundation for life and therapeutically works every system of your body. Practice this twenty-six posture beginning yoga set, to systematically move fresh, oxygenated blood to one hundred percent of your body. Through the practice, every organ and every fiber of your body is revitalized.

Hot Yoga systematically restores all your systems to healthy working order, just as nature intended. Students experience proper weight, muscle tone, vibrant good health, and a sense of well being that automatically follows. You will experience the science of this set in the way you experience your body, mind, and spirit after class is complete. Hot Yoga is scientifically designed to deliver total health through the balancing and strengthening of every system in the body. This strengthening prevents illness and injury, promotes weight loss, and limits the effects of aging.

In addition, this series combines concentration, patience, determination, faith, and self-control which increases mental clarity and reduces stress. We also do the yoga in a heated room. The heat especially helps to warm your muscles, prevent injury, allow a deeper workout and it cleanses the body by flushing toxins.

Most noteworthy is that consistency yields greater results. Therefore, we recommend a minimum of 3 classes a week to create noticeable change in your mind, body, and energy.

For experienced yoga practitioners with familiarity with hot yoga, we are proud to offer intermediate classes which are more challenging than our beginner classes and focus on greater personalization and addressing the unique needs of each class member. Intermediate class is based on the full 84 posture sequence in the Bishnu Gosh lineage. We incorporate the familiar 26 postures into the intermediate class. The intermediate classes will push you further than our traditional classes and will require greater discipline, focus, and physical effort. However, we’re confident that you’ll leave class feeling confident, connected, and changed for the better.

Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga. This is a great practice for students at any level of practice. Yang style emphasizes internal heat and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. In contrast, Yin generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine.

Yin Yoga has the same goals and objectives as any form of yoga. However, Yin Yoga directs the stimulation normally created in the asana portion of the practice deeper than the superficial or muscular tissue (yang style). As a result, Yin Yoga targets your connective tissue. Expect to reach the ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body that normally are not treated in more active styles of asana practice.

Initially, this style of yoga can seem boring, passive, or soft, but Yin practice can be quite challenging! You will experience this challenge when you engage in the long duration of the poses. Your instructor will hold the postures from one to twenty minutes! Yin and yang tissues respond quite differently to being exercised. Experience this yourself to really understand what Yin Yoga is about. Once you have experienced it, you will realize that you have been doing only half of the asana practice.

Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice or discipline which originated in India. The most well-known types of yoga are Hatha yoga and Raja yoga. Through thorough examination of the postures you will find a deeper connection to you by practice of these disciplines. 

For our private lessons, Hot Yoga Naples offers the ultimate personalized experience as sessions are strictly between the instructor and the practitioner. You can expect a challenging class structure that will address your unique strengths and weaknesses and help you find your center in a variety of scenarios and exercises.

At Hot Yoga Naples, our private group lessons offer greater personalization and individual guidance than our traditional classes and drop-in sessions, but they are still designed to address the wellness and progress of the entire group. No one will be overlooked or “left behind” as you experience greater personal growth together.

We believe whole heartedly in the 90 min 26&2 as a therapeutic treatment for your whole body, mind and spirit. Sometimes time is tight and you just need a quick, good sweat. We’ve created a space with music that will help you create more strength and balance in your 90 min class. This is going to be Epic!

Here’s a clip from Ida and Scott who have brought these therapies directly to us from Gosh College of India:

ADDRESSING COMMON IMBALANCE, TIGHTNESS & WEAKNESS

The class will work to build functional strength and range of motion in the major joints and muscles. Therapeutic exercises are done in movement, in contrast to yoga postures which are held in stillness. These exercises move the body through its range of motion with each repetition.

In addition, therapeutic exercises are intended to bring health and ease to the body and mind. They have the ability to strengthen weak areas and relax tight ones when employed properly.

This is appropriate for the most beginning, debilitated, weak or tight student. Therapeutic exercises are intentionally designed to help build health, function and ease.
