HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR HOT YOGA CLASS

to get the most out of your Hot Yoga practice, we recommend arriving well hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day before your class, and remember to rehydrate afterwards to support your body’s recovery.

We also recommend eating a light meal one to two hours before class. This will give you enough energy for your practice without feeling too full or uncomfortable in the heat.

If it’s your first Hot Yoga class, we suggest arriving 10–15 minutes early. This gives you time to settle into the studio, adjust to the comfortable infrared heat and meet your instructor. Let us know it’s your first visit—we’ll make sure you feel welcome and help you get started with confidence.

Hot Yoga isn’t about pushing your body to its limits. It’s about working with your body, listening to its signals and respecting where you are each day. If you need to take a break, simply rest and rejoin the class when you’re ready. Most people find that they adapt to the heat naturally after their first few sessions.

At Ohmyoga, we believe yoga should be both challenging and restorative. Arrive with curiosity, patience and an open mind, and we’ll take care of the rest.

WHO CAN PRACTICE HOT YOGA?

You don’t have to be flexible. You don’t have to be spiritual. You simply have to show up.

Many people believe that Hot Yoga is only for experienced yogis, but that’s one of the biggest misconceptions. At Ohmyoga on Vesterbro, Copenhagen, Hot Yoga is for anyone who wants to move their body, slow down and experience the benefits of practising yoga in a heated studio—regardless of age, experience or fitness level.

Perhaps it’s your very first yoga class. Perhaps you already enjoy running, strength training or Reformer Pilates and are looking for a practice that complements your routine by improving mobility, balance and recovery. Or maybe you’re simply looking for a break from the pace of everyday life—a place where your phone stays outside the studio and your attention can return to your breath, your body and the present moment.

At Ohmyoga, there’s no expectation that you should keep up with everyone else in the room. Our experienced instructors guide every class with a focus on quality, mindful movement and breath, encouraging you to practise at a pace that feels right for your body.

It doesn’t matter how flexible you are or how much yoga experience you have. What matters is that you show up. We’ll help you with the rest.

IS HOT YOGA GOOD FOR BEGINNERS?

Absolutely. In fact, many of our members begin their yoga journey with Hot Yoga.

You don’t need to be flexible, have previous yoga experience or be particularly fit to join a class. All you need is the willingness to show up. At Ohmyoga on Vesterbro, Copenhagen, our experienced teachers guide you through each class with a focus on breath, technique and mindful movement, allowing you to develop your practice at your own pace.

If it’s your first Hot Yoga class, the warmth may feel unfamiliar at first—and that’s completely normal. Most people adjust quickly and soon discover that the combination of infrared heat, movement and conscious breathing makes it easier to relax, move freely and stay present throughout the practice.

What makes Hot Yoga truly special is the experience itself. As you step into the heated studio, the outside world begins to fade away. Your phone is left outside, the notifications stop, and your attention naturally shifts from everything happening around you to what’s happening within. For many, each class becomes a rare opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with themselves.

At Ohmyoga, you’ll practise in a beautifully designed boutique studio on Vesterbro, where infrared heat, panoramic views across Copenhagen and a welcoming atmosphere create the ideal environment for your practice. Here, there’s always room to be a beginner, ask questions and build confidence in a supportive community.

Maybe you’ll come for the warmth. Maybe you’ll come for the movement. But many people stay because of how they feel when they leave—stronger, calmer and with a little more energy than when they arrived.

What is Hot Yoga good for?

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.

What is the difference between yoga and hot yoga?

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.

How many calories do you burn during Hot Yoga?

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.

What should you wear for Hot Yoga?

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.
