Power & Vinyasa
Power & Vinyasa
Four different classes sit in this group and they are not interchangeable. Power Yoga is the hardest. Ashtanga Inspired follows a fixed sequence. Vinyasa Flow and Hot Happy Hour are continuous flows at a lighter pitch. If you are choosing your first strong class, start with Hot Happy Hour or Vinyasa Flow.
Who it is for. Ashtanga Inspired, Vinyasa Flow and Hot Happy Hour are written for all levels. Power Yoga is the exception: WellnessLiving's own description says it is hard work and not for everyone.
Plain english
What the words actually mean
You do not need to know any of this to walk in. It is here so the schedule reads like a timetable instead of a foreign language.
Vinyasa
Vinyasa means the flowing movement between postures, with each change linked to a breath. A vinyasa class is a continuous sequence rather than a series of separate holds.
Ashtanga
Ashtanga is a dynamic, athletic form of hatha yoga made up of six series, with a fixed order of postures. It is rooted in vinyasa and focuses on energy and breath.
Asana
Asana is simply the word for a yoga posture. You will see it used interchangeably with pose.

Before you come
The heat, and what to bring
The room runs between 95 and 102 degrees and classes are 50 to 60 minutes. Doors open 20 minutes before, and the studio asks you to arrive 10 minutes early so your body can adjust to the heat. Classes start on time and the doors lock at the start, so there is no late admittance.
Read the full first-visit guideThe room
Far infrared heat, between 95 and 102 degrees. It warms you rather than the air, so it feels radiant instead of stifling.
Arriving
Doors open 20 minutes before. Arrive 10 minutes early to adjust to the temperature. Classes start on time and the doors lock, so there is no late admittance.
Your mat
Bring your own if you have one. There are a limited number of free mats to borrow, with a small contribution asked for the studio's mental health charity jar.
