All ABOUT HYC
Our Facility is a dream studio equipped with showers and a large hot room. HYC is Columbia's first hot yoga studio within a 30 mile radius. We are yoga practitioners with a mission to build a warm home to lay your mat and deepen your practice. We offer classes of all levels for everybody and every body. We are a family, or as they say in yoga teachings "kula" the sanskrit word for "community," "clan," or "tribe." Don't worry, on Wednesday we do not wear pink. ; )
​
What is Hot Yoga? We practice in the hot room at a safe temperature using state of the art heating system. Level up your yoga practice with HYC's crème de la crème Far Infrared Radiant Heating system and commercial humidifier. The combination feels like sun against your skin without the harmful UV rays.
Far Infrared Heat or radiant heating is simply the transfer of heat from a warm object to a cooler object. Just as the sun heats us, our heating panels radiate sun-like warmth to the room's space, floors, props and mats, rather than forcing the heat.
