Hot Yoga Classes with Jen and Jaime
Learn the "Absolute Hot Yoga Series" - The Next Evolution in Hot Yoga"
Most people today suffer from high levels of stress. Money worries, health worries and relationship problems are at the top of nearly everyone's list today. Fatigue, agitation, and illness often appear alongside high levels of stress. Yoga can help!
About Hot Yoga
Hot Yoga in particular continues to be the World's Fastest Growing Yoga today because it appeals to both women and men, young and old, healthy and sick alike. The original Hot Yoga was started by Bikram Choudhary back in the 1970s, and today there are many variations being practised and taught that have stemmed from this "original Hot Yoga" series.
Jaime and Jen teach the "Absolute Hot" Yoga Series, the next evolution in Hot Yoga. They are passionate about sharing their deeper understanding of "why yoga works" to improve both mind and body to all those who are interested in learning more.
Join us for Hot Yoga Classes
Energy Therapy is excited to announce the launch of regular public Hot Yoga Classes at Bespoke Space Studios in East Dulwich!
Unit 14, Blackwater Court
17-21 Blackwater Street
East Dulwich
SE22 8RS
Classes will run on most Sunday afternoons, 4-5.30pm. First class starts 12th February, 2012, so sign up today! First-time students, please aim to arrive 15-20 minutes before your first class. You will need to read and sign a health disclaimer before you join our classes. ALL other students should arrive at least 5-10 minutes before class starts.
To save time, please download the health disclaimer, print off and complete the form in your own time, and hand in to us before your first class.
We will be looking at running additional classes both during the week and at weekends once there is sufficient demand for them.
The importance of staying hydrated
You should drink plenty of water throughout the day before class, and continue to hydrate after class; during the yoga class, take small sips of water to stay hydrated. You should avoid eating directly beforehand, as this may cause you to feel nauseous, and it is recommended that you only eat light foods about 3 hours before class.
What you need for class
Bring a LARGE bottle of water to each and every class.
For hygienic reasons, ALL students will need their own yoga mat and non-slip towel for yoga class, and a normal towel for showering after class.
There is one shower/wet room available at Bespoke Space, so we ask anyone having a shower to just rinse off quickly, so other people can have one if they need to. Be considerate to others. No more than a couple of minutes in the shower please, thank you!
What to wear
For the hot classes women usually wear sports top and bottoms, and men can wear just shorts. T-shirts or vest tops are optional.
How hot is the room?
The practice room will be heated to approximately 30C for all hot classes. This is much lower than the standard 40C at traditional hot studios but will not stress the body as much, whilst still providing the benefits of a hot yoga class.

Pay in advance! Online payment must be paid no later than 24 hours before the class.
Class rates for 90 MINUTES are as follows:
- Pay £40 for four consecutive Hot Yoga classes (online).

Why Yoga?
At its simplest level, yoga improves oxygenation of your cells by helping you to breathe more fully, and with more awareness. Have you ever noticed that common stresses and tensions cause you to hold your breath? A big sigh is often your way of letting go of that tension. Yoga asanas help you create more space in your body by using your breath, increase blood circulation and help drain toxins out through the lymph. Various postures also help expel stagnant waste sitting in the colon, which is a leading cause of impaired vitality, ill health and disease.
The body is a dynamic, self-repairing organism. It is not as subject to decay and degeneration as most people believe. Many of us start losing mobility in our twenties, especially with today's sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise, but regular yoga practise increases mobility and flexibility over time, counteracting the adverse effects of aging. Each posture/asana is specifically designed to stretch, strengthen and tone every single nerve, muscle and tissue of the entire body and, more critically, massage and nourish the internal organs of the body with fresh, oxygenated blood. This can help prevent routine aches and pains that Western society has attributed to getting older!
Your body wants to move and stretch! It wants to find its natural rhythm again, but years of negative habits often mean the body is achy and stiff, and out of balance - far more than it needs to be. Jaime and Jen's goal is to help you restore fitness, vitality and well being, whilst instilling a sense of calm, focus and equilibrium.

Some additional thoughts
Whatever your fitness level, you will most likely find yoga both challenging and rewarding, which explains why so many people come back time and again. The postures (called "asanas") combine strength, flexibility and balance to give you a total body workout and, as with other forms of cardiovascular exercise, regular practice will also aid weight loss and regulate your metabolism. Look forward to gaining more energy and vitality in your day!
Finally, we want to remind you that a body which is leaning more towards flexibility than stiffness, and which is able to stay properly aligned, will be a lot less prone to injuries and will put you in far greater stead to give you the freedom and vitality you need for a healthy, happier life - something which we all want and deserve.
