What the heat looks like in Rome
The heat here is mostly hot yoga. Bikram Yoga Roma in Aurelio runs Bikram yoga, Bikram Evolution and Bikram Flow, typically 75 to 90 minutes, in a room that is very warm and follows a fixed sequence of postures. Zem Yoga Studio Roma in Parione offers heated vinyasa, heated power vinyasa and heated Ashtanga, usually in a gently heated room at 25 to 28 degrees, where the breath is linked to movement in continuous flowing sequences.
Infrared is a smaller part of the collection. Ayla Pilates Roma on Via Sicilia in Ludovisi offers a heated flow that draws on classical Pilates, with deep core work, longer stretches and controlled, continuous movement in about 50 minutes.
When to find a heated class
Heated classes here cluster in the morning, which accounts for about a third of the classes, with a steady number at midday and in the evening, each around a fifth. A few start before 9am, and the earliest class begins at 7:15am. The latest start is 8:15pm. Weekends also carry around a fifth of the classes.
The busiest days are Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. For a first visit, a mid-morning start around 10am or 11am is one of the more common times to find a class.

The classes at Bikram Yoga Roma in Aurelio are typically around 75 to 90 minutes. The heated vinyasa and Ashtanga classes at Zem Yoga Studio Roma in Parione usually run 60 to 75 minutes, and the infrared flow at Ayla Pilates is closer to 50 minutes.
When do most people practice heat?
Heated classes here start early and run through the day. About a third of them fall in the morning, and a few start before 9am. The busiest start times are around 10am, 11am, 1:30pm and 7:30pm, and the busiest days are Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
Is hot yoga suitable for someone new to heated practice?
Yes. Zem Yoga Studio Roma offers heated vinyasa at a steady 25 to 28 degrees, which gives a gentler way into the heat, and its power vinyasa is a longer step up in intensity. Bikram classes follow a fixed sequence in a very hot room, so many people start with a vinyasa class before trying it.
Who leads the heated classes in Rome?
Most heated classes here are taught in Italian, and the facilitators most often teaching them include Margherita Persichetti, Marzia Mastropietro and Sassie Z. A couple of dozen facilitators lead across these classes, so it is worth checking each studio's own page for the language and level of a specific class.
