Hot Yoga Adelaide | Adelaide’s Best Hot Yoga Studio | FT Yoga
FAST TWITCH HOT YOGA STUDIO
At Fast Twitch, our Adelaide based hot yoga studio uses far-infrared panels to bring the same heat to the room that you may expect to experience in our infrared sauna. Infrared is actually an invisible light spectrum, meaning that anything within distance of the beam of light will feel the heat. These wavelengths work by penetrating the body deeply and raising your internal core temperature.

Hot Yoga Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is hot yoga?

Q: What are the benefits of practising hot yoga?
A: Some potential benefits of hot yoga include increased flexibility, improved cardiovascular fitness, and improved mental clarity. The room's heat and humidity can also help relieve muscle stiffness and tension.
Q: What should I wear to a hot yoga class?
A: It's best to wear lightweight, breathable clothing to a hot yoga class. Avoid wearing too baggy or loose clothes, as they may become a distraction during your practice. It's also a good idea to bring a towel and a water bottle to the class, as you will likely sweat a lot during the practice.
Q: How often should I practice hot yoga?
A: Your hot yoga practice frequency will depend on your fitness level and goals. Start with one or two weekly classes and gradually increase the frequency as your body becomes more accustomed to the practice. It's also important to listen to your body and take breaks if necessary.
Q: Is hot yoga safe?
A: Hot yoga can be safe if practised properly and with caution. It's important to stay hydrated before and during the class and listen to your body and take breaks if you need to. It's also a good idea to consult your healthcare provider before starting a hot yoga practice, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions.
Q: Is hot yoga OK for beginners?
A: It is generally not recommended for beginners to start with hot yoga, as the intense heat and physical demands of the practice can be difficult for those new to it. Beginners need to start with a gentler form of yoga, such as Hatha or yin yoga, and gradually work their way up to more challenging practices like hot yoga. It is always a good idea to consult with a qualified yoga instructor before starting a new practice, especially if you have any health concerns or physical limitations.
Q: Is hot yoga actually good for you?
A: There are some potential benefits to hot yoga, such as increased flexibility and improved cardiovascular health. However, it is important to note that hot yoga can also be very demanding and may not be suitable for everyone. The intense heat and physical exertion of hot yoga can put much strain on the body, and it is important to listen to your body and take breaks as needed. It is also important to properly hydrate before and during a hot yoga class, as the heat can cause dehydration. In general, it is a good idea to consult with a qualified yoga instructor before starting any new practice and to pay attention to your body's signals to avoid overexertion or injury.
Q: What is the difference between yoga and hot yoga?
A: The main difference between regular and hot yoga is the temperature of the practice environment. In regular yoga classes, the room is typically kept at a comfortable temperature, whereas hot yoga classes are conducted in a heated room, often with the temperature set to around 105 degrees Fahrenheit (40.5 degrees Celsius) with high humidity. This intense heat can provide several potential benefits, such as increased flexibility and improved cardiovascular health. However, it can also be very demanding and may only be suitable for some. Regular yoga classes can vary widely in focus and difficulty, whereas hot yoga classes typically follow a set series of postures and are often quite challenging. It is important to consult with a qualified instructor and pay attention to your body's signals to avoid overexertion or injury.
