What does the class involve?

Yoga practice

Guided by an instructor, participants flow through a sequence of asanas performed on heated volcanic stones.

The practice combines:

• mindful movement,
• breathwork,
• stretching,
• strengthening,
• physical stability.

The elevated temperature helps warm the body before exercise and may encourage greater freedom of movement.

Relaxation on heated stones

The final part of the class offers an opportunity to slow down and focus on relaxation.

The warmth of the volcanic stones, calm breathing and a peaceful atmosphere create the ideal conditions for deep relaxation.

Ganbanyoku

Ganbanyoku is a traditional Japanese form of heat therapy in which the body is warmed by resting on heated slabs made from volcanic stone.

Unlike in a conventional sauna, participants lie directly on the heated surface as the warmth gradually envelops the body.
