New to Hot Yoga?
Unsure what sets hot yoga apart from regular yoga? It’s all about the body and mind. Peak Physique Hot Yoga is practiced in a heated environment, typically between 35–40°C for our hot classes, and 26–28°C for our warm classes. This aids in warming up the muscles and allows for deeper stretches.
Hot Yoga practice can lead to increased flexibility, improved muscle strength, and enhanced cardiovascular health. Additionally, the heat encourages sweating, promoting detoxification. Many Hot Yoga practitioners report reduced stress levels, heightened mental clarity, and a stronger mind-body connection.

While there is a carpark on-site please also know that there are other businesses in the building, so parking is limited. There is ample parking in the surrounding streets. HINT: Refrain from parking on the studio side of Prospect Road for the 6pm class. It is a bike lane until 6pm and council does like to revenue raise.
