It's true, there are some vigorous yoga classes, but experienced yoga therapists often find that people with no experience in yoga make quicker progress than those with years of experience. Yoga isnot about "going for the burn", or pushing yourself: instead it's about listening to your body and gently moving into postures. With guidance from a good teacher you can learn how to stretch and increase your flexibility and strength without risk of injury.

My name is Michelle Griffiths, I have been an avid Yogie since I was five and in my early teens, began Pilates to deal with the fact that I was born with twisted lower limbs. After years spent in &out of hospital, I turned to yoga & Pilates as a solution to my pain. Together, they worked so well, I was pain free by the time I was 20 and my posture was corrected.

Hot Yoga Sheffield is a hot yoga studio located in Crookesmoor on Commonside in Sheffield. Close to the universities, the hospitals and the city centre. Well, the heat is great because you warm upquickly, this relaxes your muscles so you can move deeper into postures and become more flexible. But even so, we won't ask you to put your legs behind your head. The heat also forces you to focus on the present moment ('Wow, it's really hot in here!').

I have been a student of yoga since 1988. While studying British Wheel and Iyengar yoga, I was first introduced to Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga in 1994 during a visit to the Practice Place in Crete (now YogaPlus) run by Radha and the late Derek Ireland. Since then, Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga has become my main practice and passion. In 2009 I completed a 200 hour Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training with Michael Gannon and Brian Cooper.
