Come prepared to work out! Wear your favorite workout clothes, and sneakers. Our boot camp group fitness classes are practiced indoors so please no street shoes in the workout room. Please bring a clean pair of running shoes for your boot camp fitness classes. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact one of our team members.

Groupon is accepted for new students only. If you attended the Studio in last 3 years - we will not accept your groupon. 

Please e-mail your 8 digit barcode to hotyoganaperville@gmail.com. We will redeem your Groupon code.

A verification will be sent back to you then you may register online for an account.

Purchases must have an online registration completed prior to class. If you are a Bootcamp purchaser bring a second pair gym shoes to wear only in the gym.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before class. This will give you enough time to register, change, and become used to your surroundings. Dress as if you were going to the beach – light, fitted exercise clothing work fine. Avoid baggy T-shirts and pants. A sleeveless top and shorts are best. Don’t worry about shoes – you’ll be doing your yoga barefoot. Avoid eating 2-3 hours before class – yoga is always best practiced on an empty stomach. Some people however need to have a little something in their belly (such as a piece of fruit or an energy bar). You’ll soon work out what works for you and what your body needs. Be well-hydrated! Drink lots of water before coming to class. We should be drinking 2 liters a day anyway, but on the days you do Hot Yoga classes like Bikram, Bikram Express or Fusion you should drink 3-4 liters! Come with an open mind. Be ready to laugh a little, maybe cry a bit, and to sweat a lot

Wear comfortable clothes that breath and allow you to move freely. For women we recommend stretchy pants or shorts and a sports bra or tank top. For men we recommend shorts or trunks and a T-shirt. Please no socks, yoga is practiced barefoot. We sell yoga clothing and mats in the studio for your convenience.

LOTS! You can lose up to 1.5 litres of water during class. You should be drinking 3-4 liters per day, every day. On the days you practice Hot Yoga classes, you’ll need up to 6+ liters. Most of your water intake should be at least 2 hours before and after class. Don’t fill up on the way to class, or during class.

As often as you can. “For great results, practice three times per week. For life changing results, practice six days per week,” says Bikram. One class is better than nothing. Six classes per week (with one day rest) is amazing.

Everyone is different – it is a matter of listening to your body. If you’re feeling sluggish, dizzy or even nauseous during or after the class you may be dehydrated or mineral deficient. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water. You might also like to try some electrolytes for a perfect ratio of sodium and potassium. Apple and celery juice work great, too.

YES! Whenever you are moving your body, you are burning calories. In an Original 90 minute yoga class you can burn between 350-500 calories. You’ll find as you feel better about your body, you’ll begin to make better food choices. Meanwhile, your cravings for sugar, salt and caffeine will decrease, and you’ll eat less junk – good news for your waistline!

Muscles are contracted and stretched at a cellular, biochemical level. Lipids and proteins reorganize optimally in such stretching, allowing for better circulation. Joint mobility and range of motion is increased, and strength is built by the use of gravity. Muscles and joints are balanced. Blood and calcium are brought to the bones. Working against gravity strengthens the bones. The organs of the immune system within the bones (red marrow) are boosted. The lymph nodes are massaged, lymph is pumped throughout the body, and white blood cells are distributed throughout the body as the lymphatic system works more efficiently. There is compression and extension to the thymus, spleen, appendix and intestines; lungs are stretched and flushed out by increased blood circulation. The endocrine glands are encouraged to secrete appropriate hormones, and the communication between hormones and various glands and systems of the body is perfected. Toxins and waste are eliminated through the organs of elimination. The nerves are stimulated by compression and extension, improving communication within the systems of the body and supplying fresh blood, oxygen and nutrients throughout. The brain is stimulated by improved circulation and by varying blood pressure.

All items will be placed in the lost and found located in the hallway between the men and women's bathroom. Please remember, we are not responsible for items left behind, please visit us again ASAP and pick up your item if it is important to you. Our doors open 30 minutes prior to each class and usually closes when class begins. Thank you.
