Heat in Florence
Heat in Florence is a collection of hot yoga and infrared-style classes for people who want deep warmth in their practice. The classes gather around Moodra Yoga Studio Firenze in San Frediano, where a heated room holds most of the sessions. The warmth loosens the body, so movements that feel tight in a cooler room often open up here.

What the heat classes are
Most of the heat classes in Florence are hot yoga, and nearly all of them carry the energy of sweat and movement. Within that, the yoga is steady and physical, with a clear sequence that keeps the heat working through the body. A smaller share of the classes turn to breathwork, which uses the breath and the warm room to clear tension, and a few offer yin for a slower, more restful pace.
The Hot Abs and Glutes class at Moodra is a shorter, high-intensity session of 45 minutes, built on functional exercises and bodyweight work. It is the most focused of the classes listed here, and it sits alongside the longer hot yoga sessions.
When the classes run
Classes gather in the evening, when about half of them begin, and a third run at midday. Mornings are less common, and no class starts before 9am. The busiest starting times are 5:30pm, 6:45pm, 1:15pm and noon, and the week leans toward Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
At the weekend, about a fifth of the classes take place. Breathwork is offered as a way to close the weekend and set up the week ahead, so the schedule works well for people who want to finish their week with a warm, focused session.
Heat: questions and answers
What kind of classes will I find in heat in Florence?
Hot yoga is the most common style on this page, and nearly all of the classes carry a sweat-focused note. Most of the practice is yoga, with a smaller share of breathwork and yin. Classes take place in a heated room, so the warmth is part of the practice.
When do most people practice?
Most classes sit in the evening, and about a third fall at midday. Mornings are rarer, and nothing starts before 9am. The busiest start times are late afternoon and early evening, and the busiest days are Thursday, Friday and Tuesday.
Where do I go for hot yoga in Florence?
Almost all of the classes here are taught at Moodra Yoga Studio Firenze in San Frediano, which is where the page's classes concentrate. Several facilitators lead regularly there, including Sara Advent, Aurora Pettenati and Luca Barbieri.
How long are the classes?
Most classes run around 50 minutes, so a session fits comfortably into a lunch break or an evening. Hot Abs and Glutes is a shorter, more focused class at 45 minutes. Breathwork sessions also last 50 minutes and are a good way to end a weekend.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes. A simple hot yoga class is a sensible first step, since it moves at a steady pace and is taught in the heated room. Breathwork is another gentle entry point, focusing on the breath, warmth and release rather than on strength.
Are classes available in English?
The classes on this page are taught in Italian and in English, and the facilitators come from several backgrounds. Check the class description for the language before you book, since the studio sets it for each session.
