Question 2

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

You will want to wear clothes that you feel comfortable sweating in. Pretty much what you wear to work out or run in... minus the socks and shoes. We recommend bringing a change of clothes to go home nice and dry.

Question 3

CAN I EAT BEFORE CLASS?

Accepted Answer

We recommend that you practice yoga on a fairly empty stomach, but a light snack before class, maybe be just what you need for extra energy.

Question 4

HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD I DRINK?

Accepted Answer

You will want to drink a good sized bottle of water before you arrive for class. Coming to yoga hydrated will be most beneficial for you in the heat. During the class, you can pause your practice to sip water whenever you need to.

Question 5

HOW HOT WILL IT GET?

Accepted Answer

We heat the room to about 37 degrees and keep the humidity nice and juicy. The heat is a natural way for your muscles to stretch and it also helps prevent injury. It is SO healing to detoxify through the act of sweating. Your first few classes may be challenging. If you are new to hot yoga you may be experiencing dizziness or nausea but these symptoms will pass. We ask that you pace yourself and take a resting pose if you feel over heated. This allows your body to acclimate to the heat and allows you to practice being with your experience.

Question 6

BUT I AM NOT FLEXIBLE, SO HOW CAN I DO YOGA?"

Whether you feel tight and can't touch your toes, or you are tired after a long day at work, a regular Power Yoga practice will yield amazing results. You do not need to know anything about yoga to begin, there is no preparation for beginning, you just step onto the mat and open yourself up to a new experience.

Question 7

The amazing thing about Power Yoga is that it will completely transform your whole body, mind and spirit. If you need to lose weight you will and if you need to build muscle you will. It all depends on what shift need to take place in your body to bring it back to its most natural state. This style of yoga torches calories and awakens every cell in your body.

Question 8

HOW AFTEN SHOULD I PRACTICE ?

Accepted Answer

We know you have a hectic life so Baptiste Power Yoga Albania offers many classes throughout the day. For optimal results in gaining energy, decreasing stress and building a strong, pain-free body, consistency is the key to success. A practice 2-3 days per week, if consistent, will create transformation over time. For life-changing results practice 4-6 days per week.

Question 9

HOW DOES BAPTISTE POWER YOGA DIFFER FROM OTHER FORMS OF YOGA?

Accepted Answer

Baptiste Power Yoga Albania offers a different kind of yoga practice. It's based on intuition rather than tradition. If you think you need to go to a health club to be fit and beautiful, think again. If you think that you need to escape to a cave in the Himalayas to find the enlightenment that yoga promises, think again.  Baptiste Power Yoga Albania offers more than the familiar poses and breathing techniques; it offers a way to face life with a renewed personal strength.

Question 10

IS POWER YOGA SAFE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN?

Accepted Answer

As with any exercise program, the two general rules of thumb are to check with your physician and to listen to your own body and heed any signs that you are in a danger zone either for injury, overheating or overwork. Having said that, Baptiste Power Yoga can be practiced by anyone, as long as modifications are done to accommodate for any individual's issues. Also, if you had a strong practice before you become pregnant, it does help. It's usually not a good idea to start a yoga practice as a beginner when you're pregnant. There are some poses, such as inversions and lying on the belly, that are truly contraindicated for pregnancy. Since we practice in a heated room, again, it is best to discuss with your physician your interest in starting or continuing your yoga practice while you are pregnant.
