Turn Up the Heat by Lexie Wolf

I’m so very excited to announce the latest addition to our studio: heated yoga!

We’re adding heat to some of our new fall classes (80–90 degrees to be exact), but we’re still bringing the same openhearted, mindful approach you know and love. The warmth supports healthy circulation, encourages detoxification, and helps muscles move with greater ease. And yes, we’ll still pause for breath, presence, and intention—just with a little extra fire. After all, yoga asks us to be both soft and strong. Think open hearts, steady minds and maybe a little more of that fierce warrior energy—lit from within.

At the end of August we’ll be installing state-of-the-art infrared heaters on our ceilings. Note that these will NOT feel like the super-hot, humid classes made famous by Bikram Yoga. Infrared heat gently warms your body directly -creating a deep, soothing warmth that encourages flexibility without making the air feel stuffy. Imagine a gentle warmth enveloping you, penetrating deep into muscles and joints, promoting relaxation and flexibility. Yum!

If you are active or involved in sports or fitness, heated yoga can be a wonderful complement to your routine. The warmth helps loosen tight muscles and fascia, supports recovery, and allows for safer, deeper stretching. It’s a great way to unwind, restore balance, and prevent injury—all while getting a satisfying, sweat-cleansing practice. As a runner and tennis player I have really enjoyed heated yoga when I can make it to Chapel Hill to practice and I’m SO very excited that I’ll now be able to enjoy it (and teach it) here in Pittsboro!

For those of you who like your room-temp classes cool and comfy just as they are, don’t worry! The classes you love will remain on the schedule and we’re even adding a few more this fall. This unique type of heating system allows us to heat and cool the room quickly so that we can easily offer both.

Our fall schedule begins the Week of September 15. Watch this space for details and join us on the mat!
