What You Can Expect at Onda’s Hot Yoga Classes

Our Hot Yoga classes at Onda aren’t just workouts; they’re experiences designed to deepen your connection with yourself. For beginners, we recommend starting with Original Hot Yoga. This class consists of 26 postures and two breathing exercises, all performed in a room heated between 36 and 38 degrees Celsius, making it ideal for building strength and flexibility.

Our classes are led with verbal guidance, not physical demonstrations. This approach keeps you fully immersed in the moment and focused on yourself. Take a look at our brief time-lapse video showing you the sequence of postures, giving you a quick look at what’s in store

The Surprising Benefits of Hot Yoga

The heat isn’t just for sweat; it has a purpose. At Onda, we use special infrared panels to warm up your muscles naturally and improve circulation, priming your body for deeper, safer stretches. You’ll notice the difference, even after your first session. Francesca, the founder of, and also a certified teacher at Onda Yoga, describes it beautifully: “The energy is incredible. Practising together, breathing together - it reminded me of playing in an orchestra. There’s this collective strength that’s truly uplifting.”

You’ll leave the studio feeling lighter, stronger, and with consistent practice, you’ll be amazed at the progress that you make in such a short period of time!

Getting Ready for Your First Class

Preparing for class is simple but essential. Wear breathable, comfortable clothing—think shorts and a light top. You’ll also need a yoga mat and towel to manage the sweat (yes, you’ll sweat!), and it’s best to bring your own water bottle. Remember to hydrate well before class, as Agostina, one of our teachers, can attest. “Hydration isn’t just something I’ve learned—it’s become a practice. I’m always prepared, with water in hand,” she says.

A light meal three hours before class is ideal, and it’s worth noting that what you eat matters. Dana, another teacher at Onda, shares a story about how a hasty snack choice turned into a lesson learned. “I grabbed a croissant before class, thinking it’d be quick energy, but I spent the session feeling heavy and out of balance. Next time, if I really need something right before class, I’ll stick to an apple or a banana!”

Sometimes even having the right hairstyle can make a big difference - Lynn shares “For a long time, I struggled with this because I always wore my hair in a bun”. Adjusting your hairstyle so that it stays out of your face and remains comfortable during the practice, especially in inverted poses, can make your hot yoga experience much more enjoyable!

Where to find us

The Studio Experience

When you step into Onda, leave your worries - and your phone - in the locker. We have lockers available to keep your belongings safe, so you can focus solely on yourself. Taking this moment of disconnection is more valuable than you might think. As Marlene, a dedicated yogi, reminds us, “Letting go of the aesthetic, even in front of a mirror, became a healing journey for me. You start to use the mirror to align yourself instead of adjusting your appearance. It’s empowering.”

Taking It Slow and Listening to Your Body

During class, you’re encouraged to go at your own pace. Feeling overwhelmed? Take a break. Sit down, focus on your breath, and rejoin whenever you’re ready. Every yogi, no matter how experienced, knows that listening to your body is key. Remember, our instructors are there to support and encourage you. Why not take a break from your busy schedule and sign up for a class today? Listen to your body, and you might be surprised by what it has to tell you!

Real Progress, Real Results

While you may feel the benefits of Hot Yoga right away, consistent practice is the best way to see lasting change. Many practitioners at Onda notice significant improvements in flexibility, strength, and mental clarity within just a couple of weeks, practising only a few times per week. Even if you’re an experienced practitioner already, the benefits never stop coming, as our founding teacher Francesca has found, “Returning to these foundational poses in Original Hot Yoga still challenges me in new ways every time.”

Hot Yoga is a journey, and like any journey, it’s best enjoyed one step at a time.
