Pilates at Hot Yoga University comes two ways: hot or warm. PyroPilates brings Pilates-based core work and cardio intervals into our 108° hot room. Infrared Mat Pilates is a slower, form-focused mat class in our gently warmed 85 to 90° infrared room. Both build core strength, stability, and body control, and both are open to all bodies and all levels.
Class Description
PyroPilates is a low-impact training system that pairs Pilates-based deep core strengthening with cardio interval training, all in our hot room. Movement starts from the core, with a focus on body awareness, stamina, and clean form. What to expect: a high-intensity, fun workout that builds core strength, stamina, mobility, and overall body control. Teachers often add light weights for moves like squats, lunges, and curls. LEVEL: Suitable for ALL bodies & ALL levels TEMPERATURE: Hot, about 108° TIME: 60 minutes
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 warmth that never feels like the intensity of our hot room. What to expect: 45 minutes of core-focused, full-body sequencing on the mat. Expect controlled reps, close 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. LEVEL: Suitable for ALL bodies & ALL levels TEMPERATURE: Infrared, 85-90° TIME: 45 minutes
