Following the huge success of Conleth's Monday evening class, we're delighted to be showcasing the extra special class: BIKRAM BEATS: THE WORLD’S ORIGINAL HOT YOGA WITH A FABULOUS SOUNDTRACK Music and yoga can be incredibly compatible. Having the musical motivation of some glorious chill out music alongside some camp classics whilst holding yoga poses in the heat, will be the perfect formula to gear everyone up for a night out in Soho - it’s a guaranteed hit! Come join the party! 🎉😎☀️🏳️‍🌈 The class will be followed by the BSY Christmas Social at the studio - you're welcome to stay on after the class for a glass of fizz and some nibbles! Here's the description of what a regular Monday night class is like: This class is perfect for those wishing to try yoga as the 26x2 sequence was originally designed as a beginners class. There are 26 postures with some repeated during class, interspersed with rest poses and two breathing exercises allowing time between each pose to rest and process. Conleth will lead the class purely with dialogue, and the beauty of this class is that it never changes and so there is a real opportunity to notice improvements week by week. Same words, same postures, leading to deeper understanding. This is an 'express' version of the 26x2 sequence and runs for 60 minutes. This style of Hatha Yoga is traditionally taught in a heated environment: the warmer atmosphere contributes to the improvement of flexibility. For this class the room will be 'warm', not the traditional 42 Celsius, but even so you should be prepared to get a little more sweaty than usual! This is a workout that requires true discipline and focus and if they are areas of your life that you wish to build on, or you simply enjoy familiarity in your yoga practice - then this is the class for you! The 26x2 series really strengthens the legs and the spine, as well as providing a true mental workout as well as a physical workout. Like most yogas, it reduces stress, contributes to weight loss and overall body strength and with that little bit of extra heat thrown into the mix - a more intense feeling/workout is offered to the lungs, heart and muscles. ​ What to wear/bring: • Comfortable clothing you can easily move in: small shorts and T-shirt/vest are perfect, though many chose to take the class shirtless. Speedos/trunks are also appropriate. • A yoga mat if you have one, otherwise studio mats are available. • Bricks and straps are provided should you want them. • A water bottle and a towel or two are *essential* - you will be sweating a LOT in this class, so a second towel on your mat is strongly recommended. • Note that there are no shower facilities at this venue. Lateness: Please arrive 15 mins before your class is due to start. Due to the nature of this class it is not possible to join us if you arrive late. Doors will be locked at the start of class, so please be on your mat by this point to allow a punctual start. How many students will there be? With current physical distancing requirements the class is limited to 15 students. Can I pay on the door? No. This class is prebook only.
