Vernon's Short Yoga Strength Class
The Full IHP Format, With Added Resistance
IHP Express with Weights takes the condensed 45-minute Inferno Hot Pilates structure and adds bands and weights to increase intensity. You move through the same low-impact, heat-assisted format as a standard IHP Express session, but with added resistance that asks more of your muscles throughout. The heat helps your body warm up faster and work deeper, while the added load builds strength and definition in a way that a bodyweight-only class simply cannot match. You leave having done real work in a fraction of the time a traditional gym session would take.
What to Expect in Class
A Fast-Paced Yoga Weights Session Built Around Your Body
This is a short yoga strength class, but it is not a light one. The combination of Inferno Hot Pilates movements with bands and weights means your stabilizer muscles, core, and larger muscle groups are all engaged throughout the session. The heated environment supports flexibility and helps protect joints as you work through resistance-based movements. Classes run 45 minutes, making this a practical choice for mornings, lunch hours, or any window in a packed day. Come ready to move, sweat, and build capacity. Bring a mat, a towel, and plenty of water.
