Question 1

What is hot yoga?

Accepted Answer

Hot yoga is yoga practised in a heated room, typically between 30–40°C. At Hot Yoga Copenhagen we use infrared heating panels that warm the body directly rather than the air, creating a comfortable 30–35°C environment. The heat helps you stretch deeper and supports detoxification through sweat. All levels are welcome.

Question 2

What's the difference between infrared hot yoga and Bikram?

Accepted Answer

Infrared hot yoga warms your body directly with infrared panels — similar to sunlight, without UV. We hold the room at 30–35°C. Bikram uses forced hot air to take the room to 40°C and follows a fixed 26-pose sequence. Our infrared classes offer varied styles (vinyasa, yin, power, sculpt) at a more comfortable temperature while still giving you the benefits of heat.

Question 3

What are the benefits of hot yoga?

Accepted Answer

Better flexibility because warm muscles stretch more easily. Enhanced detoxification through sweat. A cardio boost from the elevated heart rate. Deep stress reduction. Stronger muscles from holding poses in heat. Better sleep. Helpful for weight management — 400–600 calories per 60-minute class.

Question 4

Is hot yoga good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer dedicated Hot Yoga Basics classes for newcomers. The infrared heat helps because warm muscles are more flexible, making poses more accessible. Start with the KickStarter (10 classes in 3 weeks for 599 kr) or a single drop-in (299 kr). Teachers offer modifications in every class.

Question 5

Where is Hot Yoga Copenhagen?

Accepted Answer

We're at Torvegade 66, 1400 København K in the heart of Christianshavn — a 2-minute walk from Christianshavn Metro. We've been at this location since 2014.

Question 6

Are classes taught in English?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every class is taught in English, so we're fully accessible to international residents and visitors. Our teachers come from diverse backgrounds and have experience teaching multicultural groups.

Question 7

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Light, breathable, moisture-wicking clothing — shorts and a tank top or sports bra work well. Cotton gets heavy with sweat, so synthetic or bamboo is better. Bring a water bottle (at least 1 litre) and arrive 10–15 minutes early for your first class. We have showers, changing rooms and a lounge with complimentary herbal tea and fruit after class.

Question 8

Do I need to bring my own mat?

Accepted Answer

No. Mat rental at the studio is 40 kr per class. Practice towels (40 kr) and shower towels (40 kr) are available too. The Tourist Pass (895 kr for 7 days) includes mat and two towels. Premium Unlimited members get complimentary mat storage and laundry.
