What if I've never done yoga or Pilates before?

No prior experience is needed for any of our classes at Focus. We are an all level studio that welcomes first timers to experienced practitioners. Our instructors can offer modifications for whatever you are looking for in your practice and will guide you for a successful class.

STUDIO A: a dry heated room that will reach 95 degree for our Focus Hot Vinyasa classes and our Focus Hot Pilates classes. It will not be heated during our Yin Class.

STUDIO B: 55% humidity and 104 degrees fahrenheit

Do you have unheated classes?

Yes! We offer gentle yoga, Yin yoga, and trauma recovery yoga which are all unheated.

What if I have an injury?

Please inform your instructor prior to class regarding any illnesses, injuries, or concerns you may have. If you have a physical injury or limitation, the instructor will guide you throughout the class so you feel comfortable and do not further injure yourself. Always listen to your body!

What do I wear?

We suggest wearing something you feel comfortable sweating in. Wear as little or as much as you feel comfortable. We don’t notice what you are wearing. It’s more important to us that you are there and feel comfortable.

What do I bring?

We encourage you to bring a mat, towel, and water. We do have all of these items here for purchase or rent if you forget or need new equipment. A larger bath or beach towel may be handy to help you not slip on your mat during some postures. Again, do what you are comfortable with.

Mat and towel rentals are $1 each.

How do I prepare for a class?

Make sure you're well-hydrated and nourished BEFORE class. This means taking about two extra liters before class.

What amenities do you have?

We have a Men's and Women's locker room where you can change and store your belonging during class. We also have showers and soap if you are going somewhere or returning to work after a class.

What's up with the heat?

Hot yoga is a form of yoga as exercise performed under hot and humid conditions, resulting in considerable sweating. Some hot yoga practices seek to replicate the heat and humidity of India, where yoga originated. It has been suggested that the heated environment of Yoga helps to prepare the body for movement and to "remove impurities"
