Kapiti Hot Yoga, home of the original 26+2 hot yoga series

16/09/2026

Something new is coming to KHY on Sundays this October.

For four weeks, our usual Sunday (Kiwi) Hot75 will make way for an Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga with Bonnie Cooper .

If you practise 26+2 hot yoga, there may be more about Ashtanga that feels familiar than you’d expect. Like 26+2, it follows a fixed sequence — a practice you return to again and again, allowing repetition and familiarity to deepen your understanding over time.

Across four Sundays, Bonnie will introduce the first half of the Ashtanga Primary Series in a led, beginner-friendly format.

Sundays 4–25 October | $119 for the four-week block

No previous Ashtanga experience needed.

Places are limited and we need a minimum of six registrations for the course to go ahead.

At the heart of Kāpiti Hot Yoga will always be the practice many of us know so well - 26+2 hot yoga. But I also love creating opportunities for us to explore a little beyond our usual practice, learn something new, and perhaps experience yoga from a different perspective.

POV: Locked in - uninterrupted attention to yourself and unbothered by the external. That is the gift of Bikram Yoga. Everything outside of ourselves is a reflection of our human revolution. How far we can handle the pressure inside class will show outside of class. You can grow flowers - or you can grow weeds. We are consciousness itself. You are the posture.

The hot room is for everyone but only for those truly wanting transformation.

If you've ever thought about trying hot yoga, hot pilates or yin yoga,
but wondered whether you'd be able to keep up...

Guess what? You don't have to.

You don't have to be flexible.

You don't have to be fit.

You don't even have to do every posture.

You just have to show up.

There's a mat waiting for you. 💞

When Susan reflects on discipline, she doesn't talk about perfect postures or pushing harder.

She talks about showing up.

About practising with the body she brought that day.

About choosing consistency over perfection.

That's what discipline has become.

Not something imposed from the outside.

Something built from within.

Susan's full reflection, Discipline in 26+2: How Our Understanding Has Evolved, is on our blog if you'd like to read it.

Hey everyone! 🌙✨

Just a gentle reminder about tomorrow evening’s Sound Bath.

This session takes place within the orb of a new moon in Virgo ♍️ …a time that encourages us to focus on our health, organization, and daily routines. 🌱✨ It’s the perfect moment to plant a seed for spring cleaning, helping us clear our minds and set new intentions.

As the new moon invites us to embrace fresh beginnings, it’s also an excellent opportunity for self care… Soundbath anyone!🤩🎵

Join us at Kapiti Hot Yoga Studio:
Tuesday 8th Sept
7:30–8:30 PM
💫 $30 pp

Please DM me to save your spot on the mat! 🙏

Walk your hips back..!

This Saturday, Jude and I are getting together for three hours to talk about one of our favourite subject - the original 26+2 hot yoga practice. 😊

We’ll be working our way through the Standing Series in a gently heated room, with plenty of time for questions along the way.

We’ll focus on:
- the why behind each posture
- alignment and technique
- simple tips and modifications that can create those real "lightbulb" moments in your practice.

I’m especially excited to have Jude Best joining me for this one. Jude brings years of experience to the 26+2 hot yoga practice - along with an infectious enthusiasm for it that I know you’ll love.

Whether you’re relatively new to the practice or have been doing it for years, there is always more to learn.

Saturday 5 September | 2–5pm. Click here for more info and to book:

🌱 It’s the first day of spring.

A season of new beginnings.

Although in yoga, beginning isn’t something we do just once.

We begin. We return. We learn a little. We wobble. We try again.

Spring is a beginning. But then again, so is every class.

Our latest reflection, Beginnings, is now on the blog.
