New Student Special
Beginning Your Yoga Practice
Yoga is a low-impact exercise that increases flexibility, reduces stress, and builds strength using your bodyweight as resistance. Yoga is for everybody. A wide range of people practice yoga from football players and golfers to runners and gymnasts. The practice teaches you how to move in new ways, and deepens your understanding of your body. Pressed Hot Yoga offers classes for all levels, so you’ll always find a yoga class to find your needs.
How to Prepare for Your First Pressed Hot Yoga Class

- Check in 15 minutes early. We open up classes to walk in students at 10 minutes prior to class start.
- Bring a mat, water bottle, and towel or rent them from our studio.
- Wear fitted exercise clothes that you feel comfortable moving in.
- Late arrivals are honored up to five minutes after start time. If possible, please call ahead and we’ll put a mat out for you.

Selecting Your First Yoga Class
Getting into the right class on your first visit, especially if you’re new to yoga, can make or break the studio experience. Set yourself up for success by choosing a class that makes sense for your experience level and goals. For new practitioners we recommend Hot Vinyasa 1 or Gentle Flow, or our Beginner Workshop.
If you need help choosing a class, email us at [email protected] and we can recommend a class to fit your needs.

You’ll also find the latest trends in active wear, as well as other items you may need in class, available for purchase in our well-stocked retail boutique. In addition, our zen and locker rooms ensure that you always have a place to gear up or wind out, even if you’re new to yoga.
How do I get started?
Take advantage of our Introductory Offer of 2 weeks unlimited classes for just $30. You will be prompted to create a user profile and complete your purchase. Plan to arrive to your first class 10-15 minutes early so you have plenty of time to become oriented, settled and ready to experience your first class. If you prefer to sign up in-studio, simply arrive 15-20 minutes before class. We are delighted to assist you.
Where do I keep my things?
Cubbies are available in the zen room or lockers are available in the our locker room for use during class. Our staff in the Juice Bar will keep customers out of the yoga studio area to keep students personal belongings secure. Turn off your cell phone and leave it in a locker during class. Phones not permitted in class studios at any time.
Can I buy water at the studio?
In keeping with our commitment to reducing waste, Pressed does not sell water bottles, though we do have a filtered water dispenser. Bring your own bottle and fill up in the studio.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing that you can move in. Yoga is practiced barefoot. We ask that you leave your shoes in either a cubby in the zen room or in the locker room when you enter the studio.
Do I need to bring a yoga mat?
We have mats and yoga mat towels available for rental for $2 each. You can also rent the mat & towel together for $3.
Do you have showers?
Our locker rooms offer showers and changing areas.
Do teachers offer hands-on adjustments?
Sometimes teachers and assistants teach with their hands. If you prefer not to be touched, simply mention that to the teacher before or during class.
