What the heat classes are
Heat practice in Kauai is almost entirely hot yoga, and it is concentrated in Lihue at Kauai Hot Yoga. The studio runs a broad set of classes, from hot vinyasa and hot power vinyasa to Bikram-style yoga with and without music. Classes in the sculpt and Pilates fusion styles add strength and core work to the heat.
The rooms are warmed for the whole session, and the classes are the core of what this collection offers. A few sessions add a sound bath or gong meditation at the end, which gives the warmth a quieter close.
How the week runs
Most heat classes run in the morning, and the earliest start is 6:15am. Evening sessions are scheduled as well, with the latest beginning at 6pm. Weekend classes are fewer, and Tuesday, Thursday and Monday are the busiest days of the week.
The longest option is advanced hot yoga with 84 asanas, which runs for two hours. Most other classes last an hour, and a few stretch to 75 or 90 minutes when they include a sound bath or extended final meditation.
