What to Expect at Your First PYC Class

Before Class

• Arrive a little early so you have time to check in, meet your teacher and get comfortable in the studio.
• Bring a yoga mat, water bottle and towel. Props such as yoga blocks may be available at your studio, and amenities can vary by location.
• Hydrate before class and wear comfortable athletic clothing that allows you to move and sweat.

During Class

• Your teacher will guide you through the practice using breath and movement.
• Listen to your body and take the class at your own pace. Modifications are always welcome, and resting is part of the practice.
• Yes, you'll probably sweat. Possibly a lot.

After Class

Give yourself a moment before rushing back into your day. Hydrate, connect with your teacher or the people around you and notice how you feel.

You may leave sweaty. You may leave energized. You may leave feeling completely different than when you walked in.

That's part of the experience.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Our studios bring together movement, breath, heat and community through the PYC Flow, a dynamic, breath-led Power Yoga practice designed to challenge you while meeting you exactly where you are.

You don't need to be flexible. You don't need previous yoga experience. And you don't need to look or move a certain way.

You just need to show up.

Whether it's your first yoga class or you've been practicing for years, there's a place for you here.

All of your classes are all levels and that is intentional. We welcome you to join any class and learn to listen to your body. You will learn to adapt when needed and challenge yourself when needed.

THE PYC EXPERIENCE

The PYC experience starts the moment you walk through the doors.

You'll enter a welcoming space filled with people at different stages of their practice. Some have been practicing for years. Others are stepping onto a yoga mat for the very first time.

Once class begins, your teacher will guide you through movement connected to breath. You'll build heat, explore strength and mobility, challenge yourself and have opportunities to slow down whenever you need to.

Expect to sweat. Expect to move. Expect to breathe.

And somewhere between your first breath and final rest, you might discover that what happens on your mat goes far beyond yoga.

New to Hot Yoga? You're Welcome Here.

Never done yoga before? Perfect.

PYC classes are designed to welcome beginners alongside experienced yogis. You don't need to know the poses before you arrive, and flexibility is never a prerequisite.

When you arrive for your first class, introduce yourself to your teacher and let them know you're new. They'll help you get oriented and answer any questions before class begins.

During your practice, you're always welcome to modify a pose, slow down or rest.

Your first class isn't about getting everything right.

It's about beginning.
