Before coming, ensure that you have plenty of water. 1-2L through out the day is recommended. Don't eat 2 3 hours before the session is to start. Remember not to wear perfume or deodarants to the session, as the heat and humidity inside the room will intensify the scent.
 

Most mats are made out of a material called PVC. This is great because it sticks to the floor and doesn't slide. But, when you get perspiration on it, it becomes very slippery.

A lot of people want to go for the thinnest mat that gives them the most padding. I strongly suggest going for a thicker Yoga mat for your hot yoga class. Many of the positions will be really strenuous on your joints, having the extra cushioning will do you wonders.

I personally think that's a little excessive, but whatever you prefer!

At one point I was an instructor for a Christian yoga alternative program, which was good; however, I wanted greater skill and confidence in this practice. I wanted to know proper form and alignment to prevent injuries. I would have attended a Christian yoga training program but I needed something local as I'm not a very good online learner. I need a classroom and structure.

I bought the Power Yoga book and got to work. It was tough. In fact, I couldn't do much of it at all - both the flexibility moves nor many of the strength moves. I figured there must be something to the yoga.
