Already a firm favourite in the nearby suburb of Ilkley, The Hot Yoga Chapel is on its way to Leeds.
And quite frankly, we can't wait to sweat out the small stuff.
It's safe to say that modern life isn't without its stresses, anxieties and worries - and practicing hot yoga is a fantastic way to sweat away any tension and stress in an attempt to live a happier, more fulfilled life.
And luckily for us, us Leeds lot now won't have to travel far to do so as The Hot Yoga Chapel has announced its official opening date in the city centre.
The brain-child of Zana Hunter; long time teacher and practitioner of classic Hot Yoga and lover of beautiful spaces, The Hot Yoga Chapel pride themselves on teaching great classes in unique spaces.

And their new location is no exception, as they'll be opening their studio in one of Leeds' most fabulous Grade II listed buildings - The Engine House.
Formally used as a power source for the Tower Works, it's got all the exposed brick and vaulted ceilings you could ever hope for.
Announcing the exciting news to Instagram, The Hot Yoga Chapel said: "I’m SO excited to introduce you all to our soon to be Leeds studio.

"Opening in early April, The Hot Yoga Chapel Leeds will be located in The Engine House, another fabulous Grade ll listed building.
"The Chapel set the bar high, and our love of unique spaces meant the search has taken months and months! Plain white offices and empty shops just weren’t cutting it and then up popped The Engine House and the moment I walked in I knew - this has it! This has that same magic energy."
Officially opening on Friday 12 April 2024, guests can expect a huge range of specialist classes led by expert teachers.
But how does hot yoga work? Well, each studio will have a dedicated hot room that reaches 40-42 degrees.

The heat and structure of the class allows students to quickly see and measure progress and improvements, making it perfect for beginners looking to get into yoga.
There's a class to suit everyone, from their Original Hot Yoga Hot Vinyasa to Hot Pilates, Yin, Hot Chapel HIIT, Hot Chapel Flow and Sunday Service.
The Leeds Palestinian Film Festival has announced the dates for this year's festival.
This year's festival will explore the words of the celebrated Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour: "To make art is to say we are here."
These words will reflect the content of this year's festival, which aim to keep Palestinian stories alive; defy the erasure of history; and bring voices from the depths of destruction.
The Leeds Palestinian Film Festival will open Friday 13 November at the iconic Hyde Park Picture House with Life Support, a documentary about doctors in Gaza directed by Daniele Rugo.

The screening will be followed by a live Q&A with the director and doctors from the film, chaired by Healthworkers4Palestine.
Early programme highlights include the UK premiere of Conversation with the Sea, Muayad Alayan's family drama in which a 60-year-old Palestinian man in Jerusalem, ordered by an Israeli court to pay a debt allegedly owed by his son who drowned decades ago, sets out to discover what happened.
Also showing will be Maggie Lemere's documentary, Land of Canaan, follows Palestinian farmers and their olive trees, some more than 1,000 years old, and the fair-trade movement led by Dr Nasser Abufarha to protect them.

Frances Bernstein, Festival Director, said: “To make art is to say we are here. We chose the words of the celebrated Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour as this year's theme because they reflect what the programme is for: keeping Palestinian stories alive, defying the erasure of Palestinian history, culture and identity, and bringing voices from the depth of destruction to audiences in Leeds."
The full programme, guests and ticket information will be announced in the coming weeks. You can find out more here.
Viral Yorkshire shop urges visitors to avoid weekends as huge queues form
Clementine Hall
A viral apothecary shop in Yorkshire has warned visitors about huge queues forming outside its doors, urging people to visit during the week if they want to avoid the crowds.
The Cabinet of Curiosities in Haworth has become a popular destination for those looking to really get into the autumn spirit.
And it seems like there's a lot of people who are looking to do so, as huge queues have been forming along the quaint cobbled streets of Haworth.
So much so, that owner Carolin had to issue a statement via The Cabinet of Curiosities Instagram page.

It reads: "Weekends in Haworth have become particularly busy during Autumn and we are so grateful to all those lovely souls who have patiently queued to visit the shop.
"We are so honoured that you are happy to wait to come in to our magical apothecary shop, and I can’t quite believe it when I look out of the windows and see the queue snaking up the cobbles. Be assured that the queue does move fast and it makes for a far more pleasurable visit if there are fewer people in the shop at once.

"If you would rather avoid the busy times it’s best to visit during the week if you can. Our shop is open 7 days a week 10-5, but to make sure all the shops in Haworth are open then Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are probably the best days to visit.
"We are doing our best to keep up with restocking and our fabulous workshop witches are busy blending, filling and packing every day to keep to keep the shelves stocked. We are humbled and forever grateful that you love our little shoppe, and hope you enjoy your potions and your visit to The Cabinet of Curiosities."
