26&2
Suitable for all
90/75/60 Minutes
The original hot yoga, previously known as Bikram Yoga, this is a class comprising of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises. Developed in the 1970s with Western lifestyles and bodies in mind, it is heavily inspired by the Ghosh lineage of yoga as taught by Bishnu Ghosh. This series systematically works through the whole body inside and out while the heat provides a safer working environment to release tension in the body. This class is especially great for people working with injuries and ailments.
Flow

FIRST TIME AT LANO YOGA?
It can feel scary starting something new, but rest assured that we have all had the very same first class nerves! Here is some useful information to get you started.
- Firstly, it’s important to note you do not need to be flexible to practice yoga, here or anywhere! You might find it is a nice benefit, but not a prerequisite. So come just as you are!
- Please don’t stress, our friendly team are here to make sure you feel comfortable. Show up and we’ll take care of the rest.
- Arrive 15 minutes before the class start time. This will give you a chance to familiarise yourself with the space and meet your teacher beforehand.
- We suggest you have your last meal at least 2 hours before the class starts, to avoid indigestion or discomfort.
- If you are joining a hot class, make sure you wear breathable clothes as it gets hot and humid! Most students tend to wear shorts and t-shirt/vest.
- You will need a yoga mat and good sized towel to cover over, especially if practicing a hot class. We hire them out if you have either.
- Changing rooms and showers are at the studio for ladies and gents. We also have accessible toilets at both studio’s.
- LANO Southsea as ground level, step free access to the studio and changing facilities. LANO Chichester is on the 2nd floor with lift access.
