You will undress in a designated changing room. Most schools require a towel or yoga mat specifically for hygiene (no direct skin contact with shared studio floors). The Atmosphere: The room is usually warmer than a standard yoga studio (around 75-80°F or 24-27°C) to prevent goosebumps and allow muscles to relax. The Props: Blocks, straps, and bolsters are used frequently. The use of a hand towel is mandatory to place over the genital area during supine (lying down) poses or savasana (final relaxation). The Practice: Classes range from gentle Hatha to vigorous Vinyasa flows. You will notice that certain poses are modified slightly (e.g., crossing the ankles in wide-legged forward folds for female-bodied individuals).
