Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear to a yoga class?

Wear comfortable, fitted athletic clothing that allows full range of motion. Yoga is practiced barefoot. For hot yoga, choose moisture-wicking fabrics and bring a towel.

Most Boston yoga studios provide mats for free or a small rental fee. Regular practitioners often prefer bringing their own mat for hygiene and comfort.

Begin with classes labeled “Beginner,” “Basics,” or “Gentle.” Hatha and gentle Vinyasa are ideal starting points. Many Boston studios offer discounted intro packages for new students to try multiple classes.

Hot yoga is practiced in heated rooms (90-105°F) to increase flexibility and promote sweating. Regular yoga is at room temperature. Hot yoga requires extra hydration and isn’t suitable for heat-sensitive individuals.

Beginners should try Hatha, gentle Vinyasa, or restorative yoga. Advanced practitioners can explore Ashtanga, power yoga, hot yoga, or advanced Vinyasa for challenging sequences.

Consult your doctor first, then inform your instructor about any injuries or conditions. Many Boston studios offer therapeutic yoga classes for injury recovery. Private sessions provide personalized modifications.

Consider location, class schedule, yoga styles offered, amenities (parking, showers, childcare), studio atmosphere, and pricing. Read reviews and try intro packages at multiple studios before committing to a membership.
