HOT YIN YANG YOGA AT OHM YOGA

Active yoga postures combined with gentle and deeply releasing stretches

Hot Yin Yang Yoga – strength, flexibility and calm in a heated studio

Hot Yin Yang Yoga at Ohmyoga on Vesterbro in Copenhagen is a balanced yoga practice where dynamic yoga movements and deep, restorative stretches are combined in a heated yoga studio. The class brings together the best of two worlds: the active, strengthening energy of Yang yoga and the slow, grounding stillness of Yin yoga.

In our Hot Yin Yang classes, we often begin with more dynamic sequences that activate the body through strengthening yoga postures inspired by Hatha yoga. From there, we transition into longer Yin Yoga stretches, where poses are held for extended periods to work deeper into the connective tissue, improving mobility and flexibility.

The heated yoga studio at Ohmyoga in Copenhagen helps the muscles become more supple and supports the body in releasing tension. At the same time, the warmth encourages a deeper, more focused yoga practice, allowing you to move, stretch and relax more fully throughout the class.

WHAT IS YIN YANG YOGA?

Yin Yang Yoga is a beautifully balanced yoga practice that combines the grounding stillness of Yin yoga with the dynamic movement of Yang yoga. At Ohmyoga in Copenhagen, our Hot Yin Yang Yoga classes invite you to explore both energies — the calm and the active, the soft and the strong.

The class typically begins with a dynamic Yang flow, designed to build heat, strength and focus through continuous movement and energizing yoga postures. In the second half of the class, the pace slows down as we move into longer Yin yoga poses, which are held for extended periods to work deeper into the connective tissue, release tension and improve flexibility.

Together, these two elements create a complete and balanced yoga experience, supporting both physical strength and mental relaxation while helping you develop greater body awareness, mobility and inner calm.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YIN YOGA & YANG YOGA

Yin Yoga and Yang Yoga represent two different yet complementary approaches to yoga practice. While Yin Yoga focuses on stillness, relaxation and surrender, Yang Yoga emphasizes dynamic movement, strength and energy.

In Yin Yoga, poses are held for longer periods to work deeper into the body’s connective tissue, joints and fascia. This slow and meditative practice promotes flexibility, relaxation and mindfulness while helping the body release tension and stress.

Yang Yoga, on the other hand, is more active and dynamic. In this style, you build strength, endurance and stability through continuous movement and muscle engagement. Yang-based practices help generate heat in the body, strengthen the muscles and improve balance and body control.

In our heated Yin Yang Yoga classes at Ohmyoga, these two approaches are combined into one balanced practice. Classes often begin with more dynamic Yang-inspired sequences, followed by slower Yin stretches that allow the body to release tension and restore balance.

This combination makes Yin Yang Yoga at Ohmyoga in Copenhagen an ideal practice for anyone who wants to build strength, improve flexibility and experience a deeper sense of mental calm and balance.

Hot Yoga is beneficial for those who want increased flexibility, strength, and stability. The heated room makes it easier to move deeper into the poses while also raising your heart rate and making you sweat, which can create a light detox-like effect. Hot Yoga is also ideal for relaxation and stress reduction because the heat helps the body release tension. It is an effective practice for both body and mind, especially during the colder months.

The main difference between yoga and hot yoga lies in the temperature and the effect the heat has on the body.
Yoga takes place at normal room temperature and can range from calm, meditative practices to more dynamic flows. The focus is on movement, breathing, strength, and mental calm.

Hot Yoga takes place in a heated room. The added heat makes the body more flexible, raises your heart rate, and causes you to sweat more, which can intensify both the workout and the feeling of relaxation.

In short:

  • Yoga: no heat – calmer and more flexible in style
  • Hot Yoga: same principles, but warmer, more intense, and with greater focus on flexibility and a detox-like effect.

Calorie burn in Hot Yoga varies from person to person, but most people typically burn between 300–600 calories per hour. It mainly depends on:

  • how hot the room is
  • the type of class you attend (for example, gentle vs. more flow-based)
  • your own intensity and body weight

Hot Yoga often feels more intense because of the heat, but the calorie burn is generally comparable to a moderate to intense workout session.

For Hot Yoga, it’s important to choose clothing that is light, breathable, and moisture-wicking, since you will sweat a lot. Most people choose:

  • A tight top or sports bra – so the fabric doesn’t move around as you get warm.
  • Lightweight shorts or leggings – something fitted and comfortable for movement.
  • No loose clothing – it quickly becomes heavy and sticky in the heat.

It’s also a good idea to bring:

  • A good yoga towel to place on top of your mat (to absorb sweat).
  • A water bottle, since you’ll need to drink more water than usual.

In short: choose clothing that is light, fitted, and designed for sweaty workouts.
