Hot 60
All Levels. Entry level class appropriate for beginners as well as continuing students. Consisting of approximately 26-30 postures and 2 breathing exercises in a room heated to 103*, the Tropics series derives from blending elements of Bikram hot yoga with Vinyasa sequencing. Every area of the body is addressed to restore optimal health and balance to the organs, tissues, and bones. Come find out why the Tropics Hot series is practiced at several studios all over San Diego county
Hot 90
All Levels. This class follows the same format as Tropics 60, but is extended to the traditional length of 90 min to allow for additional or alternative poses. The slower pace allows for deeper holds. Hot 90 is an excellent way to deepen your practice or to increase your endurance.
Vinyasa (warm)
The word vinyasa describes “breath synchronized movement”, with every inhalation and exhalation there is a movement of the body. Compared to Tropics classes (where there are a few pauses in between poses), vinyasa classes flow all the way through. Different each time depending on what the teacher choreographs, these very fun classes allow you to explore new transitions through poses, new ways to move, and what your body can do! Levels 1/2 are appropriate for beginners, Level 2/3 are appropriate for intermediate and advanced.
Yoga Sculpt (warm)
