At Aware Hot Yoga, we have designed a welcoming, peaceful, and accommodating environment for all our students. To ensure the smooth functioning of our classes and fairness to both members and instructors, we have created the following studio policies:
- Time of Arrival: We kindly ask that new Aware members arrive at least 10 minutes before class to meet the instructor, become familiar with the studio, and learn more about the class format. Arriving early also gives us the chance to answer any questions you may have. If you are brand new to hot yoga, and you come in right as class starts, we may ask you to reserve another class time. For all members: classes start on time, so please be on time. The front door is locked at the start of each class. If the door is locked when you arrive, you are too late to enter class.
- Full-Service Studio: Aware is the Triad's first and only full-service hot studio. This means Aware provides everything you need for a great practice -- a clean space, a Lululemon yoga mat, a hot yoga mat towel, and a shower towel if needed. Please grab a mat towel from our front desk (one mat towel per person). The yoga mats are located in the hot room on the back wall. After class, we ask that you hang your mat and spray it down before leaving the hot room. Your instructor will remind you where everything is when you arrive. Shower towels are located in the changing rooms. Please be mindful of how many shower towels you use to help us keep our laundry and water usage to a minimum. If you need more than one shower towel, the maximum is two towels. If you need more than two shower towels, please bring your own from home.
- Hydration: The hot room is heated to approximately 105 degrees for hot yoga classes and 95 degrees for hot pilates classes. Humidity is typically held at 40%. You should expect to work up a sweat in our classes, so please be sure to hydrate! Opt for coconut water, drinks with electrolytes, or lots of water. For your convenience, we also sell coconut water, Ultima, kombucha, and bottled water at the front desk.
