Is it normal to be sore after hot yoga?
Yes. It's common to feel sore a day or two after your first few heated classes, because you're moving in ways your body isn't used to yet. Sore is a reason to pick a slower class, not to stop coming. Yin is a good next step: you hold quiet floor poses longer instead of flowing, and you can rest whenever you want. In Port Orange, Yin runs Thursdays at 10:15 AM and 6:45 PM, and the 6:45 PM class is marked Beginner Friendly. VinYin blends flow with slower Yin holds. It runs Wednesdays and Fridays at 9:00 AM in Port Orange, and the Friday class is marked Beginner Friendly. In New Smyrna Beach, VinYin runs Mondays at 12:00 PM, Fridays at 8:30 AM and Sundays at 9:00 AM. Yin is warm, usually around 75 to 80°F, and VinYin is heated, so bring water. Sharp pain is not the same as soreness. If something hurts, stop and check with your doctor. A class is $22. Times can change, so check the schedule before you come.
