True Bikram Yoga

BIKRAM YOGA: This class immediately works to reverse the negative impact of the daily grind. Life is hard, and our daily struggles can lead to chronic stress and feeling disconnected. After just one Original Hot Yoga class, you will leave feeling grounded and light at the same time. What we offer is a scientifically sequenced series of yoga poses that is completely accessible—designed for beginners while still providing experienced yogis with a continuous challenge. How is that possible? Because you can easily moderate the intensity level to suit your needs, which may vary day to day. The clarity and quality of the instruction keeps you safe while continually offering new learning experiences.

LEVEL: Beginner to Advanced This class is practiced in a room heated to 105 degrees with 40% humidity. It's designed to deliver optimum health by balancing and strengthening every system in the body, helping to prevent illness and injury while promoting weight loss, reversing the effects of aging, and restoring systems to healthy working order. The series of postures combines concentration, patience, determination, and self-control—boosting mental clarity and dissolving stress. The heated room warms muscles, allows a deeper workout, and cleanses the body by flushing toxins. The expertise of the teachers and eyes-on instruction promotes consistency and long-term success in achieving your health and fitness goals.

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE… Bikram Yoga vs. Hot Yoga: Bikram Yoga is always Hot Yoga, but Hot Yoga is not always Bikram Yoga. The Bikram class is not just 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises practiced in 90 minutes. Each posture stretches, strengthens, and prepares specific muscles, ligaments, and joints for the next posture while stimulating organs, glands, and nerves—moving fresh, oxygenated blood to the body. But the sequence, room conditions, and class length are only part of what makes an authentic Bikram Yoga class. This class is not only an exceptional workout—it is a therapeutic practice, which is why the teaching technique is so critical. All true Bikram Yoga teachers are trained in the original teaching method, ensuring you receive the most authentic experience of this powerful practice, no matter what brought you to it.

HOT HIIT: Would you like to get toned without spending hours every day at the gym? Life is busy, so getting maximum results with the shortest time investment is what we’re all looking for. Hot HIIT (also known as Inferno Hot Pilates, or IHP) at True is a 60-minute class performed at approximately 95 degrees. This low- to no-impact, high-intensity full-body workout strengthens muscles and improves overall health. Safe for your joints, the heat elevates heart rate and gets blood pumping. This class builds a strong core, long lean muscles, improves circulation, boosts metabolism, and continues to burn fat after your workout ends.

LEVEL: Beginner to Advanced (No Injuries) This class uses the Tabata training method, alternating high-intensity intervals with periods of active recovery. Hot HIIT combines cardio and muscle toning while keeping your heart rate elevated because you are always moving. Just like the Bikram class, you can adjust intensity to meet your needs. The heat not only increases heart rate—it also loosens muscles and reduces soreness, leaving you feeling empowered rather than depleted.

WHAT YOU NEED: Everyone must practice on their own standard yoga mat with a large towel placed over it. You may also want an extra dry towel for after class. We rent mats, towel/mat combos, yoga towels, and shower towels ($3–$5). Water is welcome in class, and we encourage the use of refillable bottles—there is a water fountain available. Bring dry clothes to change into after class. Showers and changing rooms are available in the studio.

Quick List: Yoga mat Towel to cover your mat Water bottle Extra towel for shower or drying off Clothing: shorts and a tank or sports top (heavy cotton is unpleasant when wet)
