A DIFFERENT VIBE

It is recommended that students be familiar with the sequence before joining the 26&Tunes classes, but first-timers are always welcome!
The Details
105°F 40-50% Humidity
The room is heated to 105°F with 40-50% humidity to warm the body, raise the heart rate, improve circulation, and to release endorphins.
60 min
Hot 26&Tunes is a 60-minute class that moves through the sequence at a faster pace. Most postures are done twice, some once. Less time in between postures means the heart rate might stay more consistently elevated.
Fewer Cues
This class moves at a faster pace with minimal verbal cues and limited instructor dialogue. It's helpful to have some familiarity with the 26&2 sequence, but everyone is welcome. There are varying playlists, usually without lyrics.
Hot 26&Tunes Etiquette
When you enter the hot room before a Hot 26&2 practice, it is a quiet space for students to enjoy time in silence and treasure the peacefulness. Use the silent moments before class for some light stretching, laying still, doing some quiet breathing exercises or sitting in meditation. Set up your mat quietly. During practice, be as focused as possible (please don't look at your smart watch) and be mindful of extra movements or noises that might take you or someone else out of the "zone." Avoid crinkly plastic water bottles and watches that beep, and please refrain from talking before, during, or after class. If you need to take a break, try being still or sitting down until you're ready to join in again. When your Savasana is complete at the end of class, clear your space quietly and please close the door softly behind you. If you like to clean your mat, please do so in the hallway. No phones in the Hot Room unless you have a medical need. Thank you for respecting each other!
