Latitude 42 Yoga Fit, Oxford

Heat softens and soothes, as anyone who has ever stretched out in the warm sun knows. Studio director and seasoned yoga instructor Susan Stencil puts that power to use with help from a dynamic team of instructors at Clarkston Hot Yoga and Fitness. Muscles stretch easily in hot-yoga classes, and exhilarated breaths punctuate Hot-Pilates, body-sculpting, and fitness classes. The instructors also go above and beyond the typical boundaries of yoga, incorporating isometrics, weights, and breathing exercises.
