Hi, my name is Keegan White and I am an instructor at the Wilmington Yoga Center. Today, I am
going to give you some tips on how to prepare and what to expect during one of our hot yoga
classes!
We have two primary models for our hot yoga classes: “SET” sequence classes and open
“MIX” classes, each with their own unique benefits. If you enjoy structure, we encourage
the “Set” sequence classes. If you enjoy variety, we encourage the “MIX” classes.
With over 80 classes per week, we encourage all students to choose the type of hot yoga
class that they feel is most needed on that particular day.
1. Show up! ALL ages, sizes, and abilities are welcome! We recommend our Hot Detox & Hold
class for beginner’s! We always welcome all levels of practitioners and strive to
create a very welcoming, FUN, and non-intimidating environment.
2. Hydrate! Drink lots of water before, during, and after your Hot Yoga class.
3. Try to eat no more than 2-3 hours before your class, as it is typically best to practice
hot yoga on an empty stomach. You will be doing lots of twisting, and detoxifying, so
it is ideal for your body to focus on the hot yoga practice, rather than digesting food.
4. Bring two towels! We highly recommend a hand towel, and our Yogitoes brand yoga rugs
to go on top of your yoga mat. (SHOW this rug here). The yogitoes rug prevents slipping,
and are available for rent or purchase. A bath towel will work as well, however towels
often bunch up on the yoga mat during practice. Large beach towels are not allowed in the
hot yoga room as your towel must fit on your yoga mat. Be prepared to sweat!
5. Pace yourself and rest ANYTIME. If your body is not used to the heat, it is very important,
and encouraged, to take rest when needed.
Thank you for joining me today! We look forward to seeing you on your mat! For more information
