How to Choose the Right Yoga Studio? The Essential Criteria

Yoga, especially hot yoga, is gaining popularity in Quebec due to its benefits for the body, mind, and soul. Idolem has more than 30 hot yoga studios, the practice is designed to meet the needs of both beginners and seasoned yogis. But how do you choose the ideal yoga studio for you? Here are the essential criteria to find the perfect place to support your wellness journey.

Variety of Classes Offered: Solar and Lunar

A good yoga studio should offer a diverse range of classes to match your needs and energy levels. At Idolem, classes are divided into two main categories: solar (dynamic, such as Yoga Power Flow, Hot Yogalates, or Yoga with Weights) and lunar (relaxing, like Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, or Sound Bath sessions). This duality caters to your desires, whether you want to sweat it out with an intense class like Hot Yoga Boxing Fusion or unwind with guided meditation. Ensure the studio provides varied disciplines, such as Piloyoga or Yogalates, to combine strength training and flexibility in a unique heated environment.

The Studio’s Atmosphere and Environment

The ambiance of a studio is crucial for a fulfilling yoga experience. Idolem studios stand out with their heated spaces, creating a “black heat” that fosters introspection, interspersed with vibrant moments to energize your practice. Look for a clean, welcoming studio equipped for your comfort, with locker rooms, showers, and a serene space. The warmth of Idolem’s studios promotes muscle relaxation and enhances the benefits of poses, whether for an energizing solar class or a soothing lunar session.

The Quality of Instructors

The expertise of teachers is a key factor. Idolem’s coaches are passionate and trained to guide every participant, regardless of their level. They adapt classes, from Intense Yoga to Chair Yoga, to respect your limits while encouraging progress. Verify that the studio employs certified instructors who can build authentic connections with students for a personalized experience.

Accessibility and Community

An ideal studio should be easily accessible, both in terms of location and scheduling. With more than 30 studios across Quebec, Idolem is present in multiple regions, supported by a community of 80,000 visitors and 150 dedicated staff members. This community, known as “Idolyogis,” fosters a sense of belonging, enhanced by special events like full moon ceremonies or equinox workshops. Choose a studio that encourages interaction and offers activities to enrich your practice.

Additional Services and Benefits

A great yoga studio goes beyond classes. Idolem offers a free first session, allowing you to experience the practice without commitment. The studios also provide high-quality equipment and classes suited to all levels, such as Yoga 101 for beginners or Breathwork for deeper practice. Check if the studio offers flexible memberships, themed workshops, or rituals inspired by lunar cycles to enhance your journey.
