Hot Yoga Plus Seacliff

Sorry, folks - we're in the PURPLE . San Francisco and San Mateo counties have been ordered to shut down all indoor gyms. We'll definitely pause your membership and keep you updated on any new developments. In the meantime, our San Rafael studio is still open ( https://www.hotyogaplus-sr.com/bikram-hot-yoga-plus-san-ra/ ). Stay safe!

We're open today if you want to get your sweat on. Be sure to reserve your spot online. https://www.hotyogaplus-sf.com/bikram-hot-yoga-seacliff-sc/

Hi guys! We're still OPEN! But as you know, our city has now been assigned the RED TIER, which means we must reduce our capacity and continue to enforce restrictions. PLEASE WEAR A MASK - the disposable paper ones are the most comfortable for yoga practice (you can buy these at our studios for $1). We want to stay open and see you guys, so let's do what we can to flatten the curve. See you in the hot room! (P.S- Don't forget to book in advance. You can do this on the MINDBODY APP or here: https://www.hotyogaplus-sf.com/bikram-hot-yoga-seacliff-sc/ )

2 days ... ( Book your class here: https://www.hotyogaplus-sf.com/bikram-hot-yoga-seacliff-s/ )

FINALLY. Per state guidelines, we will be reopening our studios in SAN FRANCISCO, DALY CITY, and SAN MATEO on Oct. 8. YOU MUST BOOK YOUR SPOT IN ADVANCE. Please use the MINDBODY APP to do so (we are no longer using the ones created for each school). You will need to bring your own mat and towel, and we will be enforcing social distancing measures. However, even in this strange new reality, we are incredibly excited to be practicing with you all again. Until next week ... SEE YOU IN THE HOT ROOM!!!

Seacliff may be closed due to city orders, but you can still practice at our other locations! Check out our new class at San Mateo.

Unfortunately, our San Francisco studio will not be able to open at this time due to county orders. HOWEVER, our DALY CITY and SAN MATEO locations are open for business, starting tomorrow! Check out our website or app to book a class (reservations must be made in advance in order to avoid overcrowding). Bring your own mat and towel.

Our San Francisco studio may be on hold for a while. Stay tuned for updates on our Daly City and San Mateo locations. https://www.nbcbayarea.com//san-francisco-delays-/2316421/

LEARNING LOVE When a travesty occurs in life and injustice is witnessed, it is my conclusion that we have forgotten what LOVE is and possibly have ...not learned or experienced what love truly is: either individually or as a whole. What does it mean to LOVE ? Once we know what it is, we can practice and meditate on it continually. There is no fear in love, love casts out fear; in turn, no torment and violence can exist when there is love. Without love, we are enemies to ourselves and others. It is possible to have love for all mankind. If we can understand, mediate on love and practice it at all times and in all places we would have joy and peace in our lives. As in practicing yoga, it is very simple but not always easy to do. Love could mean many things, but the spirit of love is humble, kind, always hopes, protects, patient, perseveres, trusts, and forgives. In this spirit, we add value in our lives; to inspire others to do the same and then one by one, day by day we are transformed. This spirit gives meaning and joy not only for us but for others. Martin Luther King taught five principles that encompass how to understand and live love: love is a way of life for courageous people, love seeks to gain friendship and understanding, love seeks to defeat injustice not people, love is a choice, love believes the universe is on the side of justice. During our own personal affliction is the most challenging time to share and to feel love, but if we try we will allow love to transform us and our situations. If we are patient enough and have faith that we are capable of sharing, receiving and giving love, our lives and hearts will change. In the body, the heart doesn’t say to the lungs, you are different from me and don’t provide the value I do. On the contrary, the heart and lungs work together in the process to instill life to the whole. If we can recognize our value as a human race we too will instill life to the whole. We hope all of us can practice love, and in doing so, learn what love really is. With Love, Peace and Prayer always, Your Hot Yoga and Pilates Family

Still waiting on STAGE 3!

Today marks PHASE 2 of California's reopening. Yoga studios such as ours will be allowed to reopen during PHASE 3. According to Governor Gavin Newsom, "It's not six months away. It's not even three months away. It may not even be more than a month away." Of course, that's only if all proper health precautions are being taken and we continue to flatten the curve. We remain hopeful. Stay tuned!

We miss your smiling happy faces.

Dear Yogis, Thank you for your PATIENCE. We appreciate each and every one of you for doing your part in being safe, responsible, and supporting one a...nother in health - all in order to start things up again ASAP. According to Governor Newsom, we are currently in PHASE 1 of a 4-PART PROCESS to reopen California's places of recreation and business - so long at specific parameters are being met. YOGA STUDIOS (as well as other types of gyms and wellness businesses) will be permitted to reopen during PHASE 3 of the system. However, we will see how things progress in the weeks to come; we'll keep you updated as soon as more information becomes available. (We'll update the schedule on our website and in our app as soon as we have specific dates.) MEMBERSHIP STATUS All monthly autopay memberships will continue to stay on hold until our studios reopen. Prepaid packages will be adjusted to account for any lost time. Please continue to stay diligent with your safety, as well as the safety of those around you, so that we may be able to see each other again soon. Sincerely, Christian, Shelley & the Hot Yoga Plus Team!

SHELTERING IN PLACE We miss you! We look forward to seeing you all and practicing with you again soon! We are hoping some time in May will be the date we can safely reopen, according to federal and city guidelines. REGARDING MEMBERSHIPS We have suspended all monthly autopay plans. These plans will be reactivated only once the shelter-in-place mandate is lifted. ... For those with pre-paid memberships and class card packs, we will retroactively adjust them in order to compensate for the time frame in which the shelter-in-place mandate went into effect. (This way, you won't lose any of your allocated time.) While we are all sheltering in place, it's important to focus on the things we CAN do. Here are some ideas on how to pass the time: read a book meditate pray start a new hobby keep a daily journal watch a comedy connect with family and friends via Zoom/FaceTime take a long walk or hike finish a project you have been wanting to complete plant a garden spend quality time with your household family do an exercise video on YouTube/live stream have a personal spa day at home try a new recipe redecorate your home spring clean/declutter We are sure you can think of more. Be creative! This is the perfect time to try new ways of supporting yourself mentally, physically and spiritually. When we are able to practice together again, we will be starting a BACK TO HEALTH CHALLENGE- a 30/60-DAY CHALLENGE! Anyone who completes it will be entered into a drawing: a) If you complete a 30/60-DAY CHALLENGE by practicing 3X/WEEK: You can enter to win 20% OFF ANY PACKAGE. b) If you complete a 30-DAY CHALLENGE by completing 30 DAYS IN A ROW: You can enter to win A FREE MONTHLY UNLIMITED. c) If you complete the 60-DAY CHALLENGE by completing 60 DAYS IN A ROW: You can enter to win 2 MONTHS UNLIMITED. Stay positive! If we focus on what we CAN do during this challenging time, we will all feel much happier and at peace. With Love, Shelley and Christian

"We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." -Viktor Frankl
