What to know before class
What should I bring
💧 Water bottle
🧺 Full-length, non-slip mat towel is essential.
For hygiene, comfort + safety, every Heated class requires a full-length, non-slip mat towel that completely covers your mat.
Bring your own or purchase an A Fine Balance Heated Towel for £25 and collect it at the studio. We don’t hire or launder towels, so please come prepared. Unfortunately, no suitable mat towel = no Heated class.
Prefer your own setup? You’re welcome to bring your own mat + full-length towel.
Grippy socks are optional for AFB Sculpt. For AFB Flow, we recommend bare feet. Purchase your AFB Heated Towel below and we’ll have it waiting for you at the studio.
What should I wear?
Lightweight, breathable activewear that you're happy to sweat in. Clothing must remain on throughout class (tops included), so choose something comfortable that allows you to move freely.
Do you have showers?
We don't have showers, but we do have bathrooms where you can freshen up before or after class.
How hot will it get?
Approx. 28–34°C
Warm and immersive, without the extreme temperatures of traditional hot yoga.
Temperatures are approximate and may vary slightly throughout class.
Who can join?
Our Heated classes are open to all levels unless otherwise stated. Your teacher will offer options throughout, so you can work at a pace that feels right for you.
If you have a medical condition or take medication that may affect your response to heat or exercise, please seek medical advice before attending.
I'm pregnant. Can I attend?
Our Heated classes are not suitable during pregnancy at any stage. Please speak to us about our pregnancy-friendly classes instead.
