Our Hot Yoga Studio

Built for hot yoga. Built for you.

Inside SWEAT Yoga Studio in Albuquerque: a state-of-the-art heated room held at 97°F, antimicrobial Zebra flooring, radiant barrier insulation, complimentary Manduka mats, a 750-square-foot lobby with our boutique, locker rooms with organic toiletries, on-site childcare, and a custom eco-friendly HVAC system tuned to the half-degree.

HVAC System

The air you breathe matters.

Heat, humidity and air quality are tuned and monitored across every class. Clean air helps the body absorb oxygen more efficiently, and a steady room is what makes 97°F feel like medicine instead of a sauna. Here is the engineering behind that.

97°F in the room, every single class
70% humidity, the only studio in Albuquerque holding it
99% of airborne microbes killed by the UV-C system
½° how far the room is allowed to drift. That is it.
Six Components

How the system actually works.

Modulating Furnace

Standard furnaces cycle on and off like stop-and-go traffic. Ours cruises, making constant micro-adjustments to hold the room within a half-degree of the setpoint, runs quietly, and stays highly fuel-efficient.

98% AFUE rating

110-lb Steam Humidifier

A natural-gas steam humidifier lets us run a lower air temperature while delivering the same physical benefits as a hotter room. Full benefits of sweating, without ever feeling cooked.

Natural gas, modulating

Energy Recovery Ventilator

Brings fresh outside air in while exhausting an equal volume of stale air. A cross-flow heat exchanger transfers heat and moisture between the two streams, using the stale air to pre-condition the fresh.

Filtered intake + VFD oxygen control

Ultra-Violet (UV-C) Light Kit

Microorganisms have no defense against high-frequency UV-C. Our system disinfects the HVAC unit itself, freshening air, fighting odors, and cutting microbial growth on the coils so the system stays efficient.

99% microbial reduction (Lancet, 2003)

Negative Ion Generator

Plasma Air ionization mounted in the main supply ductwork generates millions of positive and negative oxygen ions. Particle reduction, sterilization, odor neutralization, and VOC control. Four ways the air gets cleaner.

Plasma Air, in-duct

Fabric Duct-sock

Custom fabric ducting replaces traditional metal, dispersing air uniformly across the room for consistent temperature in every corner. The fabric is antimicrobial and can be laundered.

Essential-oil mat spray

Zebra Hot Yoga Flooring

Flooring built for the heat.

Most studios install flooring that was never meant for daily 97°F use, and you can smell it. We put in Zebra Hot Yoga Flooring instead. Antimicrobial, waterproof, slip-resistant, and cushioned enough to be easy on the joints. It does not hold water the way carpet does, so nothing grows in it and nothing lingers.

Lighting

Soft, indirect, low distraction.

SWEAT Yoga Studio uses incandescent indirect lighting throughout the practice space, reducing distraction and making for a more comfortable hot yoga experience while keeping environmental impact low.

Yoga Props

Manduka PROlite. Included.

We provide complimentary Manduka yoga mats, blocks, straps, bolsters and blankets for your convenience. After exhaustive testing, SWEAT chose the Manduka PROlite hot yoga mat for in-studio use. Quality, performance and comfort, while being zero-waste.

The PROlite is slip-resistant even when wet from perspiration, without the foul taste or smell of new rubber mats. Manduka holds OEKO-TEX certification (the European environmental certification for textiles) for the PROlite, certifying both its safety for human contact and emissions-free manufacturing. The mat is antimicrobial, waterproof, and 100% latex-free.

Our essential-oil mat spray, hanging system and daily cleaning policy keep every mat clean, dry and fresh. The Manduka eQua Microfiber Mat Towel is also stocked in the boutique. Super-absorbent, non-slip and quick-drying.

Shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion are stocked in every locker room. Practice in the morning and go straight to work, in the afternoon on your lunch hour, or at night after a long day.
