The BASE-90 class is inspired by the original hot yoga sequence of Bikram Yoga (26&2) and influenced by my Fierce Grace training. Classes are practised in a room heated to 40°C, creating the ideal environment to safely improve flexibility, strength, mobility and focus.
This carefully designed sequence of 30 postures systematically works every part of the body, giving the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and internal organs the attention they need to support optimal health and function.
Each standing posture is practised twice. The first round allows you to warm up and open the body, while the second offers the opportunity to explore greater depth, always with control and proper alignment. Every posture is approached with precision, balancing strength, flexibility, and mobility to encourage healthy movement patterns. We work from the bones outward, building a stable foundation through the skeleton before supporting the natural range of motion of the joints and surrounding soft tissues.
Because BASE-90 follows the same carefully structured sequence each time, many students find that, over time, the practice develops an open-eye meditative quality. As the sequence becomes familiar, there is less need to think about what comes next, allowing you to become more present with your breath, your body, and the sensations of each posture. This moving meditation helps cultivate focus, mindfulness and a deeper connection to your practice.
BASE-90 is an excellent foundational class suitable for all levels. Whether you’re completely new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, everyone is encouraged to work at their own pace and within their own ability. While it is the ideal class for beginners, it is also a challenging stamina-building practice that continues to test and develop even the most seasoned yogis.
At Hot Yoga Athlone, we believe in teaching the class that is in front of us. When needed, postures may be modified or adapted to accommodate injuries, mobility restrictions, or other individual needs, ensuring that everyone can practise safely and confidently.
Our motto:
“Yoga Is For Every Body, As We Bend It For You.”
The BASE-60 is a shorter version of the BASE-90 where only the warm up postures are a double set.
Both of these classes are suitable for all levels as everyone works at their own pace and are the best classes for first timers and beginners
FAST-60 is a dynamic 60-minute hot yoga class designed to complement the BASE-90 and BASE-60 classes. Building on the foundations of the BASE sequence, it combines familiar postures with new challenges, introducing additional upper body strengthening, hip-opening work and a short flowing sequence that links postures together with the breath.
This class develops strength, mobility, balance, and stamina while encouraging you to move with greater confidence and control. The introduction of a short flow helps students begin to transition smoothly between postures, adding a new dimension to the practice while maintaining the emphasis on precision, alignment, and mindful movement.
Unlike the fixed BASE sequence, FAST-60 offers more variety while retaining the discipline and focus of a structured hot yoga practice. It provides an excellent opportunity to expand your practice and prepare your body for more advanced classes.
FAST-60 is not suitable for complete beginners. There is an expectation that you are already familiar with the fundamental set-up and alignment of the core postures taught in the BASE classes. We recommend attending 5–10 BASE-60 or BASE-90 classes before progressing to FAST-60, ensuring you have built a solid foundation and confidence in the practice.
As always, at Hot Yoga Athlone, we teach the class that is in front of us. Postures can be modified or adapted to accommodate injuries, mobility restrictions, or individual needs, allowing every student to practise safely and effectively.
Our motto:

VITAL-75 is a 75 minute hot yoga class using some postures from the BASE and FAST60 classes as well as a lot of new ones. We introduce even more hip openers, arm and upper body strengthening.
With an intense standing series we slow down when we with get to the floor with a concentrated hip opening sequence. Tight hips can be the cause of a lot of lower back pain.
Having started with the BASE classes, attend 5 FAST60 classes before attempting this one.
POWER-60 is a 60 minute yoga with weights class. We take the sun salutations of the VITAL-75 and the MIX-90 and add some weights. The first half of the class is without weights, adding the weights in the second half.
Make sure you have attended a few VITAL-75 classes before you try this one.
MIX-90 is a 90 minute hot yoga class using some postures from the BASE-90 class with most of the postures from the FAST-60 and VITAL-75 as well as a few new surprises. More hip openers. arm and upper body strengthening.
An introduction to arm and forearm balancing. A dynamic energetic class with over 60 postures and the opportunity to try variations within a lot of postures. It is not suitable for first timers or beginners. I lovingly call this class ‘the Beast’. So take your time before deciding to attend this one.
Yoga changes the construction of the body from inside out, from bones to skin and from fingertips to toes. So, before you change it, you have to heat it up to soften it, because a warm body is a flexible body. Then you can reshape the body anyway you want.
Hatha Yoga flushes away the waste products and the toxins of all the glands and organs of your body. It provides a natural irrigation of the body through the circulatory system, with the help of the respiratory system. It brings nourishment to every cell of your body so that each one can perform its function and keep your body healthy. Hot yoga also employs heat to further that cleaning process—When you sweat, impurities are flushed out of the body through the skin.
Practicing yoga not only increases our supplies of oxygen, but it also teaches us how to use that oxygen properly—we learn to control the breath through pranayama.
