FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What if I have a medical condition?
Always consult a medical doctor when beginning a new workout / exercise routine. Most chronic medical conditions are improved by each class. Many students use the studio chambers to feel soothed after medical treatments and various procedures.
Can I go to your studio if I’m pregnant?
Absolutely. However, there are very specific guidelines for pregnancy. First, although core temperature has been found to remain at a safe temperature in Bikram Yoga, the medical community wants to make sure that core temperature does not rise during the first trimester of pregnancy. You will position your mat nearest to the doors. Some feel most comfortable tracking their heart rate. Hundreds of women around the world have practiced Rajashree’s Pregnancy Yoga within the Bikram Yoga classroom during all phases of pregnancy with no adverse effects. Most pregnant practitioners find nausea and hormonal shifts can be experienced more comfortably. Some even find that the 2nd and 3rd trimesters are easier dealt with when a regular practice prior to pregnancy was established prior to pregnancy
Can children join the classes?
Absolutely! It is exciting to see and maintain the natural range of motion of the human spine, prior to stress and injury. Youth ages 14+ may practice the entire class. We ask that youth 16 and under practice with a parent prior to attending on their own. Prior to puberty and sweat-gland development, most kids do best when they try the first set and sit down the second set.
How do I sign up for class?
Students can reserve studio classes in advance through the Class Schedule or using the MindBody mobile app. Reservations made an hour or less from the scheduled start of class cannot be canceled without incurring the loss of the class from your class package or membership and accruing a $25 Late Cancel/No Show fee. To reserve a class, please sign in to your online account or book a class through the MindBody mobile app. If this is your first time signing in to your account online, please create an account using the same email address you gave us on your first visit to the studio.
Is there a waitlist?
If a class is fully booked, you can add your name to the waitlist. When a spot opens for you in a class roster, you will receive an automated SMS text message asking you to promptly respond Y (yes) or N (no) to confirming your reservation. Before utilizing the waitlist option, please verify you have opted in to receiving SMS text messages. To check your waistlist status, please see these instructions to do so through the MindBody app.
What happens if I’m running late?
Please make sure to arrive at the studio 15 minutes before class starts to allow enough time for check-in. Late entry is not permitted under any circumstances. The entry door is locked one minute before class starts.
Why do we charge late fees?
We reserve that space for you. When we don’t have a chance to fill your slot, another student misses out and it turns into a business rather than a yoga experience. You can also look at it as motivation to get in the chamber! Learn how to cancel your class. If you are experiencing extenuating circumstances, please text us at (802) 871-2525 or email us at willistonhotyoga@gmail.com to avoid incurring the fee. No refunds on Late Cancel/No Show fees.
When do doors open and close?
Doors open 30 minutes before class for check-in and are locked one minute before class starts. Please arrive to class on time to preserve the atmosphere of the chamber for your community! This is a sacred space for so many of us. Latecomers may not be admitted and will incur a Late Cancel/No Show fee of $25 if not here on time.
Why 26 postures & savasana?
Bikram developed this scientific series of postures and breathing exercises through years of research with Bishnu Ghosh’s help. The series has been proven to help people with chronic diseases and injuries of all kinds. Each posture prepares your body for the next posture. Savasana gives us a chance to relax the entire body and prepares us to get deeper into the internal organs during the floor postures.
Why a yoga mat and yogi towel?
Practicing with just a mat alone is dangerous and NOT permitted. Our number one priority is to keep you safe. Some students try to use a beach towel or shower towel in place of a Yogi Toe towel...but the problem is that these items are not designed for exercise and sweating purposes. Yogi Toe towels feature slip-resistant padding on the bottom side so they stay in place and prevent you from slipping. We have Yogi Toe towels available to purchase or rent.
Can I do modifications?
Yes, check with your instructor to get the proper modification of the posture or postures you need to modify. We ask that if you're not able to perform a posture or modification, you take a knee or lie in savasana so as to not interrupt your fellow yogis. It is our job to keep you safe and our classes are designed with this in mind, please ask us for guidance.
Can I use a block or a prop?
Yes. Please check with your instructor before class.
Can I bring a cell phone/pager in?
No electronic devices are allowed in class. The chambers are a sanctuary from the distraction of technology.
How will I know if class is canceled because of the weather?
We will reach out to students via email or text before class in the event of a cancellation.
What do I need to know before coming to class?
Reserve your spot here! We have New Student packages you can also purchase here.
Pre-registration on the weekends is highly recommended find the schedule here.
Arrive 15 minutes before class.
Doors lock one minute before class starts.
Bring a mat & a towel or you can rent one from us.
HYDRATE. Drink water and electrolytes drinks before class. Showers Stalls and Changing rooms are available. Showers are limited to 2-5 minutes.
How hot is the room during Bikram Method / 26 & 2 Classes?
The room is 105 degrees Fahrenheit and 40 % humidity.
Do you offer other classes that aren’t heated?
In addition to Bikram Method we offer Buti Yoga ( a dynamic vinyasa flow), and Hot Pilates Fusion. All classes are heated.
Why is the Bikram Method the same 26 postures/asanas?
A consistent, comprehensive system for beginning students is extremely important in order to:
- build mastery and discipline
- develop subtlety and depth of understanding
- maintain safety before advancing without overdoing it.
- improve strength and mobility of every single joint in every class
- train the mind to look for internal differences rather than external stimuli rather than the sequence changing, YOU change! As you learn to pay better attention, look for the details, and steady your focus, you will learn something new. Every single class is different.
What if I’m a beginner and not flexible?
You start where you start and the rest of your life changes from there. Our classes are designed to be beginner’s level. All bodies can access the classes and postures. Modifications are provided upon registration and checking in with your instructor BEFORE class. We are here to guide you!
What should I wear?
Yoga shorts or pants. Basketball shorts, sports top, comfortable clothing. Wear what is comfortable, you will sweat!
How will WHY clean and disinfect the studio between classes?
The studio is cleaned after every class.
- Yoga accessories are thoroughly disinfected after every class with EPA approved cleaning products
- Our heating system is equipped with exhaust air circulation fans and a fresh air system to address airborne microorganisms including bacteria and viruses. Every time you take a breath, you can be confident that you’re inhaling hot, humid, and disinfected air.
- We sanitize all studio surfaces with EPA approved disinfectants
- We added a HEPA filter to the studio chamber, designed to remove 99.7% of airborne particles!
What if I can’t make it to class and I need to cancel?
Cancel your reservations an hour or more before the scheduled start of class without incurring the loss of the class from your class package or membership and accruing a $25 Late Cancel/No Show fee.
I am a monthly member. Can I pause or cancel my membership?
Members may put their unlimited monthly membership on hold for a minimum of two weeks and a maximum of 60 days per calendar year. Membership pauses/cancellations require TWO WEEKS NOTICE via the Membership Change Request form on our website.
