CAMP YOGA
Here are a few helpful rules that will make your yoga experience even better:
Please remove your shoes when entering the yoga building. We promise not to put them on and run around in them yelling “look at me – I’m like a little girl in mommy’s big shoes!”
Sign in at the front desk before proceeding to lockers, to change, or to the studio. We get really sad when you don’t say hello.
The studio/hot-room is a silent space. Feel free to socialize and catch up with friends in the lobby but please practice silence upon entering the hot-room.
No personal belongings are permitted in the studio (this includes bags, purses, keys, and especially cell phones) - Lockers are provided with built in locks for your valuables.
The Yoga building in general is a cell-phone free zone. At the very least, please make sure it is on silent in your locker while you are in class. TikTok can wait.
Please refrain from using heavy scents or perfumes - many people are sensitive or allergic. Besides, you’ll just sweat that expensive stuff off.
Sweaty? We always have complimentary white towels for you…but maybe take a few extra. It can get steamy in there.
Once the class starts, please avoid going in and out of class.
+ Which locations have Camp Yoga?
Both of our locations, Tampa and Los Angeles, have CAMP Yoga.
+ What should I wear to CAMP Yoga?
You could try yoga pants. They ain’t called yoga pants for nothing. But really, any comfortable athletic wear will do. But leave the shoes and socks in the locker or anywhere really... just not in the studio! Naked feet are happy feet.
+ Are mats and towels available for rent?
Why, yes! Tampa $2, Los Angeles $3. Your questions are so astute! Monthly unlimited includes mat and towel rentals.
+ I'm interested in hot yoga. Where is a good place to start?
We suggest you start with the Root class, which is designed to give beginners a great start into hot yoga. And here are some tips to get you started. 1) Bring water. Drink whenever you want to. 2) Go at your own pace. 3) Stop whenever you want to and jump back in when you’re ready.
+ How hot is the studio?
We set the temperature for our heated yoga classes to about 85-90 degrees Fahrenheit, while our unheated yoga classes are kept around a chilly 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
+ Why would I want to do yoga in a hot studio?
So many reasons! The heat allows for detoxification through sweat, opens tight areas of the body, and promotes circulatory health. This is a practice that transforms from the inside out, that allows for boundless exploration and limitless growth along with people going through the same stuff on the mat right next to you.
+ How early should I arrive?
For your first time - 15 minutes. 18 minutes if you’re one of those people who has to listen to the end of the song on the car radio before turning it off. If it’s not your first time at CAMP, 10 should do. And that’s when we begin check-in – 10 minutes before class. Unfortunately, anyone who arrives later than 5 minutes will no longer be able to enter the zen zone (aka the Yoga studio).
+ Any tips for my first yoga class?
That is such a good question! (Why, thank you!) Don’t eat anything super heavy 1-2 hours before class (but eating something small is a good idea for the energy you’ll need). Don’t drink caffeine (caffeine dehydrates, and you’re already going to be losing fluids from all the sweating). Bring or buy a reusable bottle and refill it it from our high quality H20 (aka filtered water station). Don’t wipe off your sweat during class – let that fit flag fly! And last but not least, don’t worry! Our teachers are very attentive and knowledgeable. It’ll be fun, promise!
