Infrared Yoga Classes
Infrared yoga combines mindful movement with the gentle, radiant warmth of infrared heat. Unlike our hot room, infrared panels warm you directly instead of heating the air, so the room stays a comfortable 85 to 90 degrees. It’s warm and inviting without the intensity of traditional hot yoga, and a great fit for stretching, strengthening, and slowing down. Great for beginners, recovery days, anyone easing back into movement, or experienced yogis looking for something different.

Infrared Yin
- All levels
- Infrared · 85–90°
- 60 min
Class description
Yin is a slow, therapeutic practice that targets your deep connective tissue: fascia, ligaments, and joints. Poses are held for two to five minutes, letting the body soften and release instead of pushing. The gentle warmth of our infrared room makes it easy to settle into longer holds and let your body gradually relax into each posture.
What to expect: 60 minutes of floor-based postures held for longer periods in our warm infrared room. You’ll be encouraged to relax into each shape, focus on your breath, and slow everything down. Some classes include sound healing.
Infrared Mat Pilates
- All levels
- Infrared · 85–90°
- 45 min
Class description
Mat Pilates builds core strength, stability, balance, and body control through precise, low-impact movement. Practiced in our gently warmed infrared room, it combines the challenge of Pilates with an environment that feels warm without the intensity of our traditional hot room.
What to expect: 45 minutes of core-focused, full-body sequencing on the mat. Expect controlled reps, a lot of attention to form and breath, and a deep burn in your abs, glutes, and back. No equipment needed. Offered daily, including our Friday Ritual $10 drop-in.
