CLASS questions

What is the difference between Hot Yoga, Mat Pilates, and Reformer Pilates?

Hot Yoga is a dynamic yoga practice performed in a heated room to enhance flexibility, detoxify the body, and promote mindfulness. Mat Pilates focuses on strengthening the core using bodyweight exercises performed on a mat, ideal for improving posture and muscle tone. Reformer Pilates uses a specialised machine, called a Reformer, which adds resistance to Pilates exercises for a full-body workout that improves strength, flexibility, and alignment.

How do I choose between Hot Yoga, Mat Pilates, and Reformer Pilates?

Your choice depends on your personal fitness goals. If you want to focus on flexibility, mindfulness, and detoxification, Hot Yoga might be the best fit. For core strength, posture, and overall body awareness, Mat Pilates is ideal. If you're looking for a full-body workout that incorporates resistance training, Reformer Pilates is a great option.

Can I combine Hot Yoga, Mat Pilates, and Reformer Pilates in my fitness routine?

Yes! In fact, combining these disciplines can create a well-rounded fitness routine. Hot Yoga helps with flexibility and stress relief, while Mat and Reformer Pilates focus on strength, core stability, and alignment. Together, they complement each other beautifully for total body wellness.

HOT YOGA questions

What are the benefits of Hot Yoga?

Hot Yoga improves flexibility, aids in detoxification through sweating, enhances cardiovascular health, and reduces stress. The heated environment allows deeper stretching and increased muscle elasticity, helping you get more out of your practice.

What should I bring to a Hot Yoga class?

For Hot Yoga, you’ll need a yoga mat, a towel to absorb sweat, and plenty of water to stay hydrated. We recommend wearing light, breathable clothing to keep cool during class.

Is Hot Yoga safe for beginners?

Yes! Hot Yoga is suitable for all fitness levels, including beginners. However, we recommend listening to your body and taking breaks when needed, especially if you’re new to working out in a heated environment.

How hot is the room during a Hot Yoga session?

Our Hot Yoga classes are typically held in rooms heated between 90-105°F (32-40°C). The heat helps improve flexibility, increases circulation, and detoxifies the body.

MAT PILATES questions

What is Mat Pilates, and who is it for?

Mat Pilates is a low-impact, core-focused workout performed on a mat. It’s ideal for anyone looking to strengthen their core, improve posture, and enhance flexibility. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced practitioner, Mat Pilates is adaptable to all fitness levels.

What are the key benefits of Mat Pilates?

Mat Pilates builds core strength, enhances posture, increases flexibility, and improves balance. It’s also a great way to boost overall body awareness and coordination while being gentle on the joints.

How often should I practice Mat Pilates for the best results?

To see noticeable improvements in strength, posture, and flexibility, we recommend practicing Mat Pilates at least 2-3 times per week. Consistency is key to achieving long-term results.

What should I wear to a Mat Pilates class?

Comfortable, form-fitting clothing is recommended so you can move freely and so the instructor can observe your alignment. You’ll also need a yoga or Pilates mat for your practice.

REFORMER questions

What is Reformer Pilates, and how is it different from Mat Pilates?

Reformer Pilates uses a specialised piece of equipment called the Reformer, which includes springs and pulleys to provide resistance and support. This makes the exercises more dynamic and offers a full-body workout, compared to Mat Pilates which uses only body weight.

What are the benefits of Reformer Pilates?

Reformer Pilates enhances core strength, increases flexibility, improves posture, and promotes better muscle balance. The resistance provided by the Reformer helps tone muscles while improving coordination and control.

Is Reformer Pilates suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! Reformer Pilates is highly adaptable, and our instructors will tailor the exercises to your fitness level. Beginners can start with basic movements and gradually increase the intensity as they build strength and familiarity with the machine.

How often should I practice Reformer Pilates for the best results?

We recommend 2-3 Reformer Pilates sessions per week for noticeable improvements in strength, flexibility, and body tone. The more consistent you are, the better the results.
