Why are we here?
Many of us are faced with daily stress and anxiety that causes a disconnect from our bodies, minds, and from the people around us. At Mija Hot Yoga, we will aid in your path to healing through the power of Bikram yoga - you’ll rediscover your strength, flexibility, focus, and ability to connect with your community.
Let’s Get Started
We encourage first-timers to engage with a consistent practice to experience the full benefits of Bikram hot yoga. Come to class as often as you can in your first month (at least twice a week!) and witness the transformation of your body and mind.
“This is a place where you will be humbled and you will be energized. This is a place to wipe you out and give you tremendous strength. This is a place to sweat and smile.
We are so lucky to have a hot yoga studio here in our neighborhood.”

You will sweat - A LOT! Please adequately hydrate before class.
We offer mats and towels for rent, although we encourage you to bring your own (towel will lay over your mat).
Wear comfortable clothes you can sweat in.
Dressing rooms and showers are available before and after class.
Classes start on time and once class starts, the door is locked. We advise arriving 10-15 minutes before class time to check in, change, set your mat, and hydrate!

About the Practice
The Original 26&2 Series, also know as Bikram Yoga, is a set yoga sequence that includes 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises. This practice utilizes stretching and compression postures to not only strengthen and lengthen the body, but to also improve the function of the major systems in the body.
Experienced benefits include:
Increased Flexibility: The heat warms up your muscles, allowing for deeper stretches and improved range of motion.
Improved Cardiovascular Health: The heat can elevate your heart rate, similar to moderate-intensity cardio.
Strength Building: Many of the poses involve holding static positions, which can build strength and endurance.
Stress Reduction: The focus on deep breathing and mindfulness can help calm the mind and reduce stress levels.
Weight Management: While not a primary goal, the heat can increase calorie expenditure.
Improved Circulation: The heat may help improve blood flow and circulation.
