- What is the Hot Yoga Home Dome?
The Hot Yoga Home Dome is a revolutionary portable, heatable exercise studio designed to be used in the comfort of your own home.
- How does it work?
To inflate your Home Dome, plug in the inflation fan on high and it will inflate in 60 seconds. Once inflated, add your heat!
*The inflation fan has a speed controller and stays on low the entire time you are using your Dome. This video shows the fan volume on high and then turned down to low.

- How hot does it get?
When our heating instructions are followed properly, our Domes reach 105F in 10-15 minutes. This can vary depending on your environment and individual circumstances.
- What else do I need?
The Home Dome includes the structure, a carry case, an inflation fan to inflate the dome, LED lighting and a removable floor made of the same material as the Dome.
Additional equipment may be needed depending upon your intended use (fixed location, indoors, outdoors etc).
Examples of equipment needed may include:
- Heating
- Humidifer
- 14 gauge cord that can handle 15 amps
- Music speaker
- Scent
- Yoga mats
- Yoga towels
- Anchoring equipment (if used outdoors) - Do I need to add a heater and humidifer?
Once you have purchased your Dome, we will email you heating instructions which will include our recommended heater and humidifier.
The heater costs $32 and we recommend one for the Tiny Dome, one or two for the Compact Dome and two for the Home Dome (this will vary depending on your home's electrical circuits).
The humidifier costs $79 and with it our customers have reached up to 60% humidity.
It is important that each heater has a dedicated circuit (not just power outlet) that provides 15 Amps of power so that the heaters can operate at full capacity. - Can I use a mirror?
Yes! You can use a stand up mirror inside of your Dome. Just be sure to measure the stand and make sure you will have enough room in the interior of the Dome to practice comfortably.
If you have the Clear Dome, you can also position the clear wall in front of an external mirror.
- How does the Dome inflate?
The Dome comes with an inflation fan. To inflate, turn on the fan at full power.
Once the Dome is inflated, turn down the fan power to the lowest setting to reduce noise and increase heat retention. The fan will remain on the entire time the Dome is in use. This video shows the fan volume on high and then turned down to low.
- Can I keep it inflated?
No.
The Dome is inflated by an inflation fan. This fan is on the entire time the Dome is inflated. The minute the fan is unplugged, the Dome will deflate. There is absolutely no reason to keep the Dome and inflation fan on when you aren't using the Dome.
- How do I clean my Dome?
We recommend cleaning the surface you will be using your Home Dome on before inflation so that the Dome does not get dirty.
The Dome can be easily cleaned with a non-toxic cleaning spray and wiped down while it is inflated. Make sure all surfaces of the Dome are dry before deflating.
- Where can I use my Home Dome?
You can use your Home Dome wherever you would like!
So far we have used our Domes in:
- Living rooms

All Domes can be inflated outdoors (weather permitting). The Domes are made of lightweight, yet sturdy material so that they can be easily transported. If used outdoors, it is imperative that your Dome is properly anchored down and appropriate safety guidelines are followed.We do not recommend inflating your Dome in inclement weather when there are wind speeds in excess of 10 mph.
