This class is "heated" and is focused on healing, detoxifying and exhilarating the body and mind with emphasis on movement, balance and intention. The instructors will create a flow that combines strength and spirituality, while at a higher temperature than our other classes.  The higher temperature will make your muscles more elastic, and therefore less susceptible to injury; this also allows you to go a bit further into your poses/asanas.   The role of the instructor is to guide students to make the practice their own; and is often said in class, “I am only here to be your guide. You know your body best; listen to it.” 

It is best to bring a small towel or a mat towel (can usually be purchased at WE) to prevent sliding on your mat or from your asanas.  Water bottles are highly encouraged to provide you with ample fluids throughout your practice; water breaks will be suggested often.  Drinking lots of water both before, during and after class is a must. 

The room will be heated somewhere between 85° and  95°, depending on teacher and number of students.

This class is NOT recommended for individuals with cardiovascular conditions or issues (hypertension, hypotension, congestive heart failure, or impaired coronary circulation), circulatory conditions, are predisposed to bleeding (Haemophiliacs) or are pregnant.  It is assumed that when taking the WE Heat It Up classes, you take responsibility for yourself and you are liable for your own safety... in other words, "You know your body best; listen to it."
