If you’ve ever been to a hot yoga class, you know that the AC is not turned on.
The AC in my yoga class has been broken for almost a month. Because of the size of a yoga class, we typically don’t use the air conditioner. The intention of the yoga class that I attend was not originally hot yoga, but now since the air conditioner is broken we just pretend like it’s hot yoga. Although this is not a traditional hot yoga class, we use our hour together to detox and bend deep into our poses. The AC has been broken for a month, and I don’t think that the owner of the building has any intention of fixing the air conditioner. If we needed an AC, it would be different. It is not necessary to have an air conditioner and a yoga studio. We are saving a lot of money on energy costs because we are not leaving the AC on overnight. If you know anything about yoga studios you know that there are usually more than one person in charge of locking up the studio. If the air conditioner is not fixed by the summer, I think I will find a new studio. However If the summer is a mild one, it may not be necessary to have an air conditioner. I really like the yoga studio I go to, so I might not switch either way. It is always nice to have AC as an option after an intense yoga class.
