We love beginners and we have classes suitable for beginners every day. We encourage true beginners to start in our Hot or Flow 101 classes. The Hot classes are hot and they are challenging and will give you a vigorous workout, but they are slow paced and allow for students to have time to get deeper into the posture with very specific instructions from the teachers. The Flow 101 class is not hot and is designed specifically for beginners. For a more detailed class description, click here.
Please bring a mat, large towel and water (at least 1 liter) to class and please read our etiquette page. If you are new, just pick a class to attend and show up 10 minutes before class to fill out our paperwork, or you can do it online here. New students living in Houston can take advantage of our Power of 10! special which is a 10-day yoga pass for just $20 (come to all the regularly scheduled yoga classes you want during that initial 10-day period for a one-time fee of $20). Whenever you start is the right time for you. We look forward to seeing you on the mat!

More Classes Our Featured Classes
Hot (90 minutes)
This is the core hot yoga class at YogaOne. This class forms the building blocks for a yogi’s/yogini’s practice of yoga. It is YogaOne's hatha yoga sequence practiced in a hot room in order to allow the body to warm up quickly to deepen the practice and to maximize the detoxifying, cleansing nature of the postures in the series.
This sequence was created taking what our instructors learned from a diversed range of yoga styles and is designed to provide a full workout for the entire body and leaves the student exhausted but invigorated. There are brief resting postures between the active poses. This class is for beginners through advanced students. Hot, 102-105 degrees F, 50-60% humidity. (BEGINNER FRIENDLY)
Flow aka Vinyasa Flow (60 or 90 minutes)
This is a more active class inspired by Ashtanga, Power and Forrest Yoga (and other yoga styles depending upon the instructor) with continuous movement where one flows from one posture to the next without rest in-between. Vinyasa literally means "to link"; movements are linked one to the next and breath is linked to movement.
This style of yoga is a great compliment to our Hot classes. Some previous yoga experience is generally recommended for these classes, but other than Flow 2 classes (which is for intermediate to advanced students), all flow classes are all levels. Warm, but not hot, 85-90 degrees F. (BEGINNERS TO FLOW ARE ENCOURAGED TO START IN OUR WEEKLY FLOW 101 CLASS).
