We’re Turning 10! Come Celebrate With Us!

By Announcement

We’re turning 10! Can you believe it’s been a whole decade since original hot yoga came to Mobile?

Of course, the name has changed a couple of times since 2010, but what hasn’t changed is our commitment to teaching the original hot yoga 26 & 2 sequence, which is a healing, therapeutic practice intended to maintain and restore natural range of motion.

Today, Sterling offers even more classes, like Inferno Hot Pilates (we’re the ONLY studio in town that does!), Iron Hour, Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga and other special offerings. 

The great thing is that all of these classes work together to support your total wellness, and at Sterling, you can get all of them in one convenient place.

We’re so passionate about the yoga and Pilates that we offer that we thought what better way to celebrate our big milestone by sharing it with YOU! Between Oct. 1 and Oct. 15, we’re inviting new students to take up to two FREE classes on us. That’s it!

Come check us out and see what makes us different from other studios in town. Please book your spot in class in advance online. 

We continue to follow safety protocols that require us to limit our class sizes. Thank you for your understanding!

We can’t wait to meet you and give you a virtual high five (or ten?) and welcome you into our yoga community!

Classes Transition to Livestream Only with Threat of Hurricane Sally

By Announcement

Hurricane Sally is in the Gulf of Mexico and is gaining strength before it makes landfall along the coast.

We are keeping an eye on the storm and making what we feel are necessary precautions for the safety of our staff and students.

Beginning tonight, Monday, Sept. 14, we will offer livestreaming classes ONLY at 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. This temporary change will affect ALL classes on Tuesday, Sept. 15 as well. 

If you have already signed up to participate in studio for those classes affected, we will register you for the livestreaming option so you will receive the link to join the class online. 

Our staff will be teaching from the safety of their homes, and we encourage you to join us online if you are able. 

Thank you for your continued support of Sterling Hot Yoga & Wellness. We are just as committed to making the yoga and Pilates practices we offer to you available to help you take care of yourself despite challenges that may arise.

Please remain aware of the weather conditions over the next several days and stay safe!

Sterling Reopening Guidelines, Livestreaming Classes Continue

By News

We’re excited to announce that Sterling Hot Yoga & Wellness will reopen on Monday, May 18 at 6:15 a.m.! 

Our schedule is changing just slightly to accommodate extra cleaning between classes, so please check our online schedule and take note.

As we continue to adhere to public health guidelines for your safety, we will implement the following protocols until further notice: 

Temperature screenings will be conducted and questions regarding COVID-19 exposure will be asked upon your arrival.

Please continue to book your classes online as there will be no sign-in sheets at the front desk in order to minimize contact. The teacher or staff member will check you in when you arrive.  

Classes will be limited to 20 students each. The hot room has been marked in accordance with recommended social distancing guidelines. Ten students may waitlist the class, and 5 minutes before the class begins, we will allow students on the waitlist to enter the room. 

After you check in, we ask that you enter the hot room as soon as possible and prepare for your class.

Please respect social distancing in the lobby and common areas in the studio. In an effort to minimize contact, reduced seating will be available. 

Mat and towel rentals are temporarily suspended, as well as studio-provided props, such as blocks, blosters, straps and weights. We will have some of these items available for purchase at the studio.

Locker rooms are available for restroom use, but shower facilities are not being offered. 

If you prefer to continue taking classes virtually, that option is still available for every class on the schedule. We’re not going to let that stop you from practicing with us!

We are still offering $30 live streaming memberships for your first month so our new members can begin their practice with us.  

Stay connected to Sterling and our teachers by joining their livestream classes! ALL classes on our schedule can be practiced from your home, so even though we’re apart, we can be connected energetically.

Remember that even if you are practicing alone for the time being, we are still all in this together! Thank you for your presence (even virtually) that helps make Sterling Hot Yoga & Wellness the special place and community that it is!

Yin + Yoga Nidra is a powerful practice that combines 60 minutes of a yin yoga practice, followed by 30 minutes of an often relaxing, yet energizing yoga nidra. 

You are welcome to use your own blocks, bolsters, firm pillows, blankets, etc., to support yourself during the yin practice and make yourself comfortable during the yoga nidra portion.
