- How hot is the hot room? The hot room is heated to 105 degrees for Yoga and 95 degrees for Pilates. With the exception of Wednesday night Yin, which is held in our unheated Restorative Room, all classes are held in the Hot Room.
- What are your introductory offerings? Look for the "New to Aware" option on our website. You can either choose a First-Time Drop-In for $25 or a Two Week Unlimited for $40. Class packs and monthly memberships are non-transferable (no sharing) and non-refundable. After your intro period you can decide which membership option is best for you.
- Which classes do you offer? We offer Hot Vinyasa, Hot 26, Hot Pilates, Hot Slow Flow & Yin, Hot Power Vinyasa, Hot Chakra Balancing & Meditation, Dynamic Hot Hatha, Hot 26 Silent, Hot Pilates Plus, Hot Vinyasa Express, and Yiin.
- How many classes do you offer? Across 9 different class types, we have 48 classes total per week.
- When should I arrive? Before class, we will be readying the studio, so please do not expect to get in the studio earlier than 15 minutes before class. However, we ask you to arrive at least 5 minutes before class to set up your space by the time class begins.
- How do class bookings work? After you register, you’ll receive credentials via email to get you set up on Momence, which is our site for booking and canceling classes. If you choose to sign up at the studio, arrive at least 15 minutes before class time. Some classes fill to capacity, so signing up before you arrive is the easiest and option. You can also find our schedule on the Calendar tab at the top of this page and book directly from there.
- How big is the studio? With the exception of our Hot Pilates Plus classes, which can hold up to 44 people, all of our classes in the hot room can hold up to 50. Our unheated room can hold up to 14.
- Can I take any class as a beginner? Unless the class has "Power" in the title, all of our classes are beginner friendly. However, some participants find that starting with the Hot Vinyasa Express, Yin, or Hot 26 class is a nice introduction. If you are looking for a challenge, Hot Pilates is a HIIT style class and is also okay for beginners.
- Where can I park? There is plenty of free parking on Trade Street (street perpendicular to our studio), 9th Street (street parallel to our studio), the parking lot next to Earl's Restaurant (next to our studio), and directly behind the building off Trade Street.
- What is a full-service studio? Aware is the first and only full-service hot studio in Winston Salem, meaning everyone receives complimentary mat, yoga mat towel, and a cold towel at the end of class.
- Is the studio ever closed for holidays or bad weather? Please note that our studio observes up to seven (7) closure days per calendar year. This includes the following four major holidays: Memorial Day, Independence Day (July 4), Labor Day, and Christmas Day. In addition, we reserve up to three (3) additional closure days annually, which may be used for inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances. These dates will be communicated in advance whenever possible. Thank you for your understanding and support.
At Aware, we practice together — from beginning to end.
We ask that you plan to stay for the full class you sign up for, honoring both your body and the energy of the room. Because we practice in the heat, leaving early is disruptive to the room and may not be safe for your system.
If you know ahead of time that you’ll need to step out before class ends, please connect with your instructor before class begins. With communication, we can support you. Early departures are only permitted with prior instructor approval, and will not be allowed mid-class. Thank you for helping us keep the space steady, safe, and respectful for everyone practicing.
If you have any questions, please reach us on the Momence app, email membercare@awarehotyoga.com or call 336-231-3137.
