The questions people actually ask

First class, heat, what to bring, the door. If it is not here, ask at the desk.

What should I expect at my first class?

Arrive 10 minutes early. Tell the teacher it is your first time. You will sweat more than you expect, and the first class is usually the hardest one. Teachers cue options. Take the easier one. Most people leave surprised they got through it.

Why is the room heated?

Infrared heat, about 40°C. It raises your heart rate, loosens muscle, and makes the same poses feel like more work. It also makes it harder to think about your inbox. That is the point.

Yin is the quieter class if you want the stretch without the full effort. There is also a room-temperature Vinyasa if you want the flow and not the heat.

How do I book?

On the website, in the Mindbody app, or in the Wynroy Hot Yoga app. Book ahead. Some classes fill.

The class I want is waitlisted.

Join it anyway. People cancel close to start time. If a spot opens, you get an SMS. No message means you are still on the list.

What should I bring?

A yoga mat, a large towel, and water. Not a thick gym or camping mat. Those slide once the room is warm. We sell mats. We do not hire them. Showers are on site.

When should I arrive?

First visit: 10–15 minutes early, so you can meet the teacher and set up without rushing. After that, a few minutes is enough. Once the studio door closes, class has started and you cannot come in. The door stays shut for the room and for everyone already on their mat.

Where do I park?

Onsite, plus street parking nearby. Some afternoons the side closest to the studio is restricted from 4:30–6:00 pm. The opposite side is fine. Do not use the 194a carpark. That belongs to other businesses.

Where should I put my mat?

Middle or back for the first few classes, so you can see the teacher and the people who know the sequence. The middle of the room runs hottest.

Can I talk in the room?

Not really. Friends are welcome. The chat happens outside the hot room, before and after. Inside, people are already settling.

I have never done yoga.

Good. A lot of the room started there. You do not need to be flexible. You need a mat and the willingness to stop when your body says stop. Yoga is a practice, not a performance.

I have an injury.

Tell the teacher before class. They will offer a modification. Skip anything that does not feel right. Your pace is the right pace.

I feel sick or too hot.

Lie down on your mat. That is normal, and it is the fix. Blood comes back to your head, the room stops spinning, and you rejoin when you are ready. Do not walk out into the cool air mid-class. The temperature drop makes nausea worse. Stay on the mat.

What can I actually book?

Hot Vinyasa (45 or 60 minutes), Yin, room-temperature Vinyasa, and Hot Yolates. The $59 intro pass is two weeks, unlimited, and covers all of them.
