Santosha's Sweat Index

Designed to help you find the class that's right for you.

Cool: These classes are more about stretching (and gentle strengthening) than sweating. A long sleeved cotton shirt would probably suit you fine.
Warm: Peel off the long sleeves, you're in for a fairly athletic workout.
Hot: You'll be sweating in no time with a vigorous, challenging practice in a room heated to 85 degrees.
