Why are our Manduka mats so great?

Manduka mats are an ultra-dense and spacious performance yoga mat that has unmatched comfort and cushioning. Closed-cell surfaces keep moisture and sweat from seeping into the mat and breeding bacteria (ideal for hot yoga).

Showers available

Often we are asked. “I want to excel as a student and improve the experience of myself and others. How can I do that?   Student Etiquette

Jtown isn’t about trying to do a fancy handstand (all though it is fun) or put your foot behind your head, hell no! We are about curating classes that give optimal range of motion in the body, with classes, that work all the human systems, (respiratory, nervous, skeletal, circulatory, digestive, endocrine integumentary, immune, muscular,  renal, reproductive) Get a tad more info on these systems HERE  We are about health, wellness, inspiration, and motivation, here to make sure you get results. 

With 100% confidence, you can be assured that practicing @Jtown will ensure the following.

You will be safe, and practice in a clean, beautiful studio, with excellent instruction  and consistent service. 

Most people never realize how good they are supposed to feel, now you can, and will. 

You are going to work hard, be challenged in a way that feeds you, not depletes you.

You are going to heal. Check out the benefits of postures from our signature and foundational class 26/2 HERE

You have no idea how good you are supposed to feel.

It won’t ever be easy, you will simply continue to adapt and improve. 

The results from regular classes practiced at Jtown are real. Every person in our studio has different needs and goals, all are achievable.  Reach out to What’s my RX  to see how we can assist you with your specific concerns, goals, and results.  

We believe that we are a diverse community, all coming together in a place that is so much more than just a studio or gym, for most it’s a sanctuary, that challenges, that laughs, that pushes us to adapt and improve.

Becuase you have no idea how good you are supposed to feel, in your body and in your life and a dedicated practice to this class can light the way. Things just get better, the more you practce, the more things shift, as if it’s magic.

Yin is wonderful! In contrast to the more “yang”, heated practises, Yin gives you an opportunity to slow down and completely release all the tension you’ve been carrying around. Done mostly on the floor, we hold postures from 3-5 minutes, with a focus on sinking into the body, creating space, lengthening the ligaments and the fascia. Soft music, guided breathing. The perfect stress-relieving and meditative experience!

Yes! Your body becomes more resilient. You will build strength, endurance and at the same time burn fat to create lean muscle mass.

• Give yourself plenty of time to find the studio, park, check in and set your mat up for class so that you can enjoy a couple of minutes on your mat before class begins. Most importantly, make sure that you are well hydrated, and haven’t eaten anything  in the 2 hours prior to class. Everyone is different, but an empty stomach is always best if you are about to move your body! Be kind to yourself in your first few classes, listen, look in the mirror and move your body with the words. Breathe by your nose and do as much as you can. Remember that everybody starts somewhere.
• Breathe through the nose throughout the class
• Sit down if you get out of breath or feel a bit dizzy. Join back in once you can close the mouth and breathe through the nose again.
• Work to the level you’re comfortable with, watch your ego – never work into pain
• Your practice should be challenging, sometimes expereiences to de-stress can be stressful themselves
• Work to your edge but not to a state of overwhelm
• Stay in the studio for the whole class, just sit down whenever you need to – if you’re new to the heat you will acclimatise over the course of a few classes – being able to work in heat is the sign of a healthy body!

• All people under the age of 18 must have a waiver signed by parents on file.

Come Once a week, it’s a stretch

Come five times a week, magic happens.

How often you practice dictates the time needed to achieve your desired benefits.  The health benefits achieved through a committed practice  are similar to compounding interest. For example, the more you save your money in the bank it begins to collect interest and then that interest begins to collect more interest, see what we mean there. The more you practice your benefits start to compound and build off each other. The question is not  will you achieve your desired results, it’s how long will it take. Simply put, the more you come the less time it takes.

• HYDRATION: When you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated.
• In order to stay properly hydrated when beginning a hot yoga practice, it is recommended that students drink half their body weight in ounces daily. If you weigh 150 lbs you should drink 75 ounces of water in a 24 hour period. Adding electrolytes is helpful. It takes 24 hours for the water you drink to be fully absorbed into your cells so hydration happens well before ever stepping into the room. Hydration happens before and after class, not during. Drinking water in class only settles the mind and upsets the belly. 
• When practicing we take the first water break in the 26/2 class together after Eagle, the instructor will cue it. There are no other official water breaks, if you need water take a sip, but please do it after the second set and not while other people are holding a posture. 
• We recommend not to eat a heavy meal in the 1.5 hours before class so your stomach is not full.
• If you have any questions about the class please ask at reception or talk to the teacher beforehand.
• Tell the teacher if you have any injuries before class or when they ask at the start of class. Never work into pain.

All you need to bring is appropriate yoga clothes and a water bottle. That’s it!

• 26/2 is important for the student and the instructor to see the body We know this can feel really strange in the beginning, but the person next to you has no idea what you are wearing they are so in tune to their own practice. We strongly recommend:
• Women – hot yoga shorts and a sports or bra top
• Men – shorts without a shirt
• Avoid bulky clothing as you will be sweating! Please do not wear underwear as yoga clothing.
• All our classes practised with bare feet.
• All other classes: Leggings, shirt etc.
• Yin: comfy cozy clothes and bring socks non heated

Take your time to acclimate yourself and make sure you are well hydrated. You may find that it takes you a few classes to adjust to the heat and humidity in the room. If you gave it your best shot, don’t worry – we also have non-heated classes! Join us for Yin.

Nope! Everyone and anyone can benefit from this yoga. If you are looking for increased flexibility and fitness you will find it in the yoga. No previous experience necessary.

“If you don’t make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness.”

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

You can’t take care of those you love if you don’t take care of yourself.

You have no idea how good you are supposed to feel. Don’t accept, pain, physical, mental or otherwise as a life sentence. There is always a path to healing. We will help you find it.

Always consult with your physician, but most women can practice 26/2 hot yoga when they are pregnant. A regular 26/2 hot yoga practice can make your pregnancy, labor, and post-partum easier than you expect.  Learning how to breathe when you are in an uncomfortable position in the yoga studio can be an invaluable tool in the labor room! In this practice, there is no impact to mother and child, and lower back pain often decreases while abdominal strength increases. If you’ve never tried Hot yoga, wait until the end of your first trimester to start. If you have a regular practice and a doctor’s approval, keep it up! There is no separate scheduled pregnancy class but our teachers are trained to provide modifications and alternate poses for you during our beginning yoga class. We do recommend keeping your practice to 26/2 hatha yoga during this time. A great resource for you can be found here, Rajashree’s Pregnancy Yoga Guide

We take CLEAN seriously, with a stunning attention to detail we exceed your expectations. 

The health and safety of staff and students is our number one priority.

Just a few of the ways we are leaders in cleanliness! 

• Mat and towel service, read more here about it below! 
• Sanitization of all equipment using EPA approved products and UV technology 
• Utilization of  UV/HYDROXYLS  on our HVAC systems
• Utilization of UV technology within each hotroom between classes. 
• Staff trained for proper sanitization of studio and equipment 
• Hand sanitizing stations

Fantastic news, Jtown is going to do the heavy lifting for you. 

• Practice on clean, UV sterilized equipment 
• No more towel and mat maintenance at home 
• Bring less, worry less

  Jtown has invested in top of the line, Manduka mats 

• Made with a closed-cell surface to keep moisture and sweat from seeping into the mat and breeding bacteria (ideal for hot yoga). 
• High-density cushion for unparalleled experience, joint protection. 
• Fabric-like surface finish for optimal movement between poses. 
• Supporting Green Initiatives: Manduka uses emissions-free manufacturing.  

Through the covid experience we believe our systems in place will ensure all equipment used in the studio is properly cleaned, sterilized and ran through our UV cleaning machines. These measures will allow us to ensure we are properly staffed to exceed your expectations in cleanliness,  safety, care, and professionalism.  

 Maybe 😉 Coming soon.

But of course we do, we are Shangri-la! (although shower use is suspended during Phase 1 of reopening.)
