7 Things You Should Know Before Going to a Hot Yoga Class
Not sure what to expect at a hot yoga class? Here we answer your most commonly asked questions about hot yoga.
Animal Flow
Animal Flow is a ground based movement, that uses your own body weight to link creative sequence or flows together to give you a body weight workout. It is a dynamic and fun workout that can be adapted to any level of movement enthusiast from the beginner to the expert.
Aerial Yoga at The Kali Collective
In an Aerial Yoga class, we use an Aerial Hammock (or known as silk) suspended from the ceiling to support our bodies during practice. The aerial silk can provide support for some of the more challenging postures, such as inversions and deeper backbends. However, it can also be used for down-regulation and a blissful restorative practice. Although this practice can seem potentially a little overwhelming when you are a total beginner, it is accessible and a great way to step into the unknown and test your boundaries in a safe environment. Classes will also sometimes include pranayama, meditation and yoga nidra.
Kali Flow: What is Kali Flow?
Kali flow is our very own, unique to the studio set sequence practice. All the Kali teachers collaborated on building a dynamic, challenging practice embodying the goddess Kali's essence. It can be an excellent guide for helping you keep a consistent practice where you see progression over time. All the classes take place in the Destroyer, with the room heated to 32 degrees. It's recommended that you have an understanding of a vinyasa style-based class as the class is fast-paced.
