Compare the rooms
Hot vs. Infrared Yoga
Not sure which room is right for you? Here’s how our hot room and infrared room compare.
Hot Yoga University has two heated rooms, and they feel very different. Our traditional hot room heats the air for a hotter, sweatier practice. Our infrared room uses ceiling-mounted panels for a gentler, radiant warmth. Both are open to every level, and both are included in the $25 intro week.
The Hot Room
108°
About 30% Humidity
Heated air for a hotter, sweatier, more challenging practice. Classes include Hot Yasa, Hot Hatha, Hot Sculpt, HotFiit, PyroPilates and Warm Yin.
The Infrared Room
85 to 90°
Radiant Panel Heat
Infrared panels warm you directly instead of heating the air, so the room feels warm without the intensity. Classes include Infrared Yin and Infrared Mat Pilates.

Which One Should You Try First?
Try the hot room if you love to sweat, want a challenging workout, or have done hot yoga before and want the classic HYU experience.
Try the infrared room if you’re new to heated yoga, want something gentler, are easing back into movement, or want a recovery day between harder classes.
Can’t decide? You don’t have to. The $25 intro week gives you unlimited classes in every room, so try both and see which one you keep coming back to. Prefer no heat at all? Check out our non-heated classes.
Whichever room you choose, come hydrated, bring water, and take breaks whenever you need them. Have more questions? Our FAQ covers what to bring and what to expect.
