I have tried hot yoga before at Senses studio at Vesterbro and at Bikram Yoga Hellerup before it burned down. This place is kind of newly established, it is close to my friends apartment, so we thought to try it out so we signed up for our first free class. Before showing up we received an email from the studio with short questions about where we have heard about the place etc. That was a detail I liked because when we showed up the instructor had an idea who we were.
The staff is very kind, nice and very welcoming. You can rent a mat and towel for the sweaty workout for almost no money, but if you have your own mat it's a good idea to bring it. There are no lockers in the dressing room, but they have small lockers in the entry where you can lock off your private stuff. Other than that they are very precautious regarding safety, so during yoga class the place is locked. They have showers in the dressing room which is very nice considering the fact that you are completely wet.
What I like about this place is that you do not sign up for a class and reserve a spot, you just show up. We did yoga, it was hot and you sweat in places you never thought was possible. After performing yoga the instructor handed out little shots of healthy-kale-juice to the yogis for refreshment, which was really needed and nice. The place is so down to earth and not uptight in any way. You feel very welcome and very relaxed before, during and after class.
I am going to be a member of the studio today and I am looking forward performing a lot of hot yoga in the future there :)
What you need to know about hot yoga is that it is HOT (of course) and very sweaty. You should be prepared for the heat and humidity in the studio and a good thing is to hydrate a lot before performing it. read more
