Set up your yoga mat just in front of the computer, and make sure to position your camera so that the teacher can see your practice. Keep a bottle of water and a hand towel nearby. We recommend NOT eating a full meal at least 2 hours before class. If you are hungry, a light snack such as a banana or energy bar is a good idea.
Though the heat is not necessary to enjoy the benefits of the practice, the Original 26+2 Hot Yoga Series was designed to be done at 105°F. For those who wish to replicate the conditions of a heated studio, read our Blog Post on the subject. Also remember that summer is the perfect time to take your practice outside. Protect yourself with plenty of sunscreen, but then take advantage of the powerful midday sun.
Finally, stay hydrated throughout the day — that means before, during, and after class.
