We have some very specific recommendations for you especially when you are preparing for your 1st class. Here's what you need to bring with you:
- Be prepared by bringing at least 2 LARGE towels with you. If you are a "heavy sweater" then bring an extra one to catch your sweat so you can take it home with you and wash it away.
- Bring a large bottle of water with you. Keep it simple, just plain water rather than sports drinks.
- Do you have a nice clean yoga mat? It's ok if you don't because we have mats in the studio to buy as well as rent for your classes. If you do then bring your yoga mat with you to use.
- You can wear whatever you like in class provided it keeps you covered well. Just be sure that you'll be comfortable in your clothes when they get wet because you're going to sweat a lot and it's going to feel great!
- Finally you might want to bring a plastic bag with you to carry off your wet clothes when class is over. After-all, you'll need to wash them so they are ready for class the next day!
1. Refuel with Purpose
- Within 30–60 minutes, enjoy a meal or snack rich in protein and healthy carbs.
- Think: protein bar/smoothie, Greek yogurt with fruit, or grilled chicken and veggies.
2. Hydrate Like a Pro
- Replenish fluids and electrolytes to keep your metabolism firing strong.
- Water, coconut water, or a natural electrolyte drink like LMNT are great options.
3. Keep Moving, Gently
- Take a short walk, stretch, or do some light movement later in the day.
- Stay active to keep the energy and blood flow alive.
4. Prioritize Rest
- Quality sleep helps your body recover, rebuild, and rev up your metabolism.
- Let your yoga practice set the tone for deep, restorative rest.
Build Strength Over Time
- Stick with your Fire Shaper practice to build lean muscle — your body’s natural metabolism booster.
- More muscle = more energy burned, even at rest!
Bonus Tip
Celebrate your progress — every session brings you closer to a stronger, more
energized you!
After a powerful Fire Shaper hot yoga class, rehydration is essential — and it’s not just about drinking water. When you sweat intensely, your body loses critical electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Without replacing them, you can feel fatigued, crampy, or drained even hours later. Proper rehydration helps you recover faster, maintain energy levels, and keep your metabolism and nervous system functioning at their best.
That’s why we recommend LMNT, the best hydration solution we’ve found — and it’s available for purchase at all Fire Shaper studio locations.
Why LMNT?
- No Sugar — Unlike most electrolyte drinks, LMNT contains zero sugar, avoiding the crash and inflammation caused by sweetened products.
- Clean Ingredients — No artificial flavors, colors, fillers, or junk — just pure, high-quality electrolytes your body needs.
- Perfect Balance — LMNT delivers the ideal ratio of sodium, potassium, and magnesium to support optimal hydration and muscle function, especially after intense sweat sessions.
- Trusted by Athletes and Wellness Experts — LMNT is used by top performers worldwide, and it’s a favorite among the Fire Shaper community for good reason!
Pro Tip: After class, mix an LMNT packet into a bottle of cold water and sip it slowly. You’ll notice a huge difference in how quickly your body rebounds — more energy, better focus, and faster recovery.
Managing stress is about creating balance inside and out. Here are 5 powerful ways to support your body:
- Practice Hot Yoga : Our Fire Shaper classes teach your body how to stay calm under pressure by combining heat, breath, and movement — naturally lowering stress hormones.
- Prioritize Sleep : Good sleep restores your energy and resets your mind. Aim for 7–9 hours and create a calming nighttime routine.
- Use Clean Supplements : We recommend LMNT electrolytes (available in all Fire Shaper studios) to replenish minerals lost through sweat — no sugars, no fillers, just pure hydration support.
- Eat Nutrient-Dense Foods : Fuel your body with real foods like fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and clean proteins to keep blood sugar — and stress — stable.
- Build in Mindful Moments : Even a few minutes of deep breathing, gratitude, or quiet reflection each day can help reset your nervous system and build lasting resilience.
Fire Shaper Tip : True transformation happens when you move, breathe, and live with intention — both on and off the mat.
Oxygen is the key. The more oxygen you have in your body the stronger your cells will be and the more energy you will have. A diminished blood supply will cause
your body and cells to become weaker and eventually die at a greater rate. So, how do I increase my body’s oxygen levels? Easy! Breathing and breath work will help as you exercise your lungs capacity and practice bringing in more oxygen but, and this is a big BUT, no matter how much or how well you breathe your oxygen levels can only increase if your blood supply increases! OK then, how do I increase my blood supply? Easy! We do it everyday at Fire Shaper in any of our 60min, 75min or 90 min classes…
Give it 6 – 10 weeks of Fire Shaper Hot Yoga practice and most people can increase their blood supply massively by 20 – 25%! With 25% more blood flowing in your system and 25% more oxygen combined with Fire Shapers deep breathing activities to raise your oxygen even higher you will immediately experience MORE ENERGY, SHARPER ATTENTION, and A LONGER LIFE. Fact is you are never too old, too sick, or too anything to become Strong & Un-Stoppable.
