About
All kinds, shapes
and minds are welcome
Namaste and welcome!
We are a minimalistic non-profit yoga studio. This means we only have what we need and if we have more we give back. At the moment we give back by supporting Plan Fonden with a sponsor child in India.
To us, the main focus is to give our members a soft and mellow place to practice yoga. A space where you leave your ego by the door and practice with respect and compassion for your body.
OUR HISTORY
Hot Yoga Studio by Østerbro Yoga Union was founded in 2013 (Back then we were not a union) by Ai Chin & Vidi.
Both Ai Chin and Vidi have many years of yoga expirience and have lived all over the world, before they decided to open Hot Yoga Stuido. They both still teach at the studio but now we are a co-operative non-profit yoga community, in Danish that means we are a “forening”.
Practically that means we help each other out, are driven by passion and a big help from volunteers.
Our community is both local and a very international, so therefor is all of our classes are taught in english, by our experienced and competent teachers. The teacher team is very diverse within their teaching style, but will all guide you through the class with calmness and knowledge.
We can't wait to see you in the hot room!
Our philosohy
We aim to practice yoga in a relaxed and stress-free atmosphere where everyone feel welcome.
We practice yoga for ourselves, but always with the highest respect for our fellow students and the teachers who guide us through the practice.
We have created these guidelines to help make Hot Yoga Studio a welcoming and peaceful space for all students, teachers, volunteers and other visitors. If you have any questions or feedback please message us at info@hotyogastudio.dk

Arrive on time.
Make sure you have enough time to arrive to the room with out rush. This way you are being mindful to the other students practise. So come at least ten minuttes before class.
No phones.
Being present in your practice includes leaving your cell phone and bag either in the changerooms or the lockers next to the entrance.The changing room and reception area are locked during classes.
No shoes.
Take off your shoes at the entrance, so we can keep the studio clean.
Let the teacher know.
Let the teacher know if you have injuries or health issues. This way they know to look out for you during class and can suggest variations of flows and poses.
Skip the strong scents.
Perfumes can trigger allergies for other students. Yoga also sharpens the senses, meaning that scents can be very distracting during practice.
Clean your space.
Wipe up any sweat from the floor and put props back in their proper place after class. We have disinfecting sprays and small towels by the door, so you can clean your area and your mat.

Kula is a sanskrit word for "community" or “tribe.”
