Frequently Asked Questions


What types of yoga classes do you offer at The Woodlands Yoga Studio?

We offer both non-heated (traditional) and hot yoga classes, spanning gentle/beginner options, mixed-level flows, restorative/yin, chair yoga, seniors yoga, as well as bikram inspired hot 60 and hot 90 minute sessions.

Do you have heated yoga classes — and which should I pick if I’ve never done hot yoga?

Yes. We use a dedicated heated-room with far-infrared heating. Beginners are welcome; we recommend starting in a gentle non-heated class or a warm/stretch class before diving into hot power.

What are the benefits of your far-infrared heating panels in the hot-room, and why do you use only the best technology?

At The Woodlands Yoga Studio we have invested in top-tier far-infrared heating panels (not just traditional space heaters) to deliver a superior hot-yoga experience. Unlike conventional heaters that simply warm the air, far-infrared waves penetrate deep into muscles, joints and connective tissue — warming your body from the inside out. This has several scientifically-explained benefits:

  • Enhanced flexibility & range of motion — The deeper warming allows muscles to relax more fully so you can open into poses with less strain and increased ease.

  • Improved circulation & oxygenation — Far-infrared heat helps dilate capillaries and stimulate blood flow, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to tissues and supporting recovery.

  • Detoxification & deeper sweat — Because your body is warmed directly, you’ll generate a deeper, more therapeutic sweat which supports toxin release and skin health.

  • Pain relief & joint support — The deeper radiant heat is particularly effective for soothing muscle and joint stiffness, aiding those with injuries, chronic pain or limited mobility.

  • Comfortable, breathable environment — Because the panels warm the body rather than just cranking up the air temperature, the room feels less oppressive and more breathable, making it ideal even for beginners or those sensitive to traditional hot yoga heat.

By choosing only the best far-infrared technology, we ensure our hot-room offers a more effective, comfortable, and purposeful experience — one that supports not just the yoga class, but the transformation you came for.

I’m brand new to yoga — can I still attend classes?

Absolutely. You don’t need experience or extreme flexibility. Many of our classes are explicitly beginner-friendly. Instructors offer modifications and props to support your practice.


What should I bring to class / what do you provide?

You’re welcome to bring your own mat, blocks, strap or blanket—but we also provide high-quality community mats and props at no extra cost, so you can just show up.

I’m a senior, have mobility issues or recovering from injury — is your studio suitable?

Yes — we offer Chair Yoga, Gentle Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and modifications in all classes. Our instructors are trained to support mobility-challenges and deliver safe, inclusive practices.

What makes your Yoga Teacher Training program unique compared to other offerings in the Houston/The Woodlands area?

Our accredited 200-hour (and 300-hour) teacher training includes anatomy & biomechanics, trauma-aware sequencing, opportunities for mentorship/teaching practice in-studio, and community support for graduates. It’s designed for both future teachers and advanced practitioners wanting deeper growth.

Do I need to plan to teach in order to join your teacher training?

Not at all. Many participants join for personal growth, advanced practice, or to deepen their yoga knowledge, even if they don’t plan to teach professionally. The training offers invaluable insight, community and transformation.

How would I know if I should choose your studio vs another in The Woodlands/Houston area?

Because we focus on community, not just volume; we offer both heated & non-heated options, strong teacher-training pathways, and a flexible, no-contract membership model. We also have a long-standing local presence and consistently positive reviews (you may link to testimonials).
