Prepare for class
Mats are available at all Studios or you are welcome to bring your own. We recommend you bring your own mat towel or you can rent one from the Front Desk. Make sure to drink enough water before, during and after class.
HOT Pilates Flow is a hot dynamic class that combines vinyasa flow yoga with mat Pilates.

Allow plenty of time
If you’re new, try to arrive at least 20 minutes early for your first class. Waitlist spots are given away 5 minutes before class begins.
Be comfortable
Wear something you feel comfortable sweating in: Jogbra/tank and shorts/leggings for women, running style shorts for men.
Be mindful of existing injuries
If you have an injury, please talk to the instructor prior to class so that they can give you proper modifications.
Do your best to be a good listener
The instructor does not demonstrate the postures so paying attention is the key to a great class.
Expect to sweat a lot
Our studios are heated in order to warm up your body and stretch safely.
Listen to your body
It’s normal to need to take breaks. If you have to leave the room, quietly let the teacher know.
Meditation
There is a 2 minute guided meditation built in to the end of class, known as the final savasana. This is when your body begins to absorb the benefits from class.
Rehydrate after class with water
and additional natural or supplemental electrolytes. Eat a balanced snack or meal within 90 minutes of class.
Bring a glass or bottle of water with you to bed
as your body continues to dehydrate as you sleep. Start your day with at least 8 ounces of water.
