A yoga studio in Harrogate town centre is now offering 'hot yoga' sessions during the summer.
Two years after launching a three-storey studio on James Street, Ebru Evrim is continuing to grow with new offerings for visitors.
And this summer, new additions include 'hot yoga' and a Therapy Room.
Hot yoga originates from the concept of replicating the hot temperatures and humidity of India, where yoga traditionally originated.
The Ebru Evrim Studio features a room heated to 37-40 degrees, like a sauna, for this practice, so the yoga poses become a cardio-based exercise.
Owner Ebru Evrim is steering the Harrogate studio, the largest of its kind in Yorkshire, to respond to clients’ need for help with particular issues affecting mobility.
She said:
“Yoga and Pilates is not only a means of keeping supple for those who are already fit and well, but with the correct supervision, it is also a route to ‘fixing’ many problems associated with poor posture and the result of many people spending their working hours in very sedentary environments.
“Conversely, at the other end of the scale, we see people coming here for help with rehabilitation after injuries from more active employment and sporting activities.”
Alongside the flat mat studio and 12 reformers for a wide range of yoga and Pilates classes, a new Therapy Room has been added to the facilities at the studio with practitioners providing specialist one-to-one treatments including massage, sports massage, head massage and reflexology.
Twenty-five teachers and therapists form the team at Ebru Evrim studio, each with their own areas of expertise.
Subscription-based online yoga classes with those teachers is being added to the mix for people to practice at home.
The Studio now features a professional training academy offering certified 4-day training courses in teaching reformer Pilates.
Also new to the Ebru Evrim Studio offering this year is the opportunity for caterers to hire the Studio Kitchen.
The fully equipped open-plan kitchen and surrounding seating area are ideally suited for hosting cookery classes and demonstrations as well as cooking for external events.
