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 highly anticipated opening of Leeds City Station's new entrance has been further delayed.
The £46.1m Leeds Station Sustainable Travel Gateway has been in the works since 2022, with the original target for completion set for autumn 2025.
That date subsequently slipped to summer 2026, then September, then October, and now...well who knows?
This time, Leeds City Council have confirmed that the problem is to do with the lifts that connect New Station Street and Bishopgate.

These lifts will allow the ever so turbulent taxi rank to move from the temporary arrangement at the rear of the station to its new home on Bishopgate Street.
A Leeds City Council spokesperson said on the recent setback: "Having opened the pavement along Bishopgate Street and sections of New Station Street, unfortunately we have encountered an issue with one of the lifts, which is delaying essential safety testing from being completed.
"We are working to resolve this as soon as possible so we can open the final parts of the scheme imminently."
When it does finally open, there should be plenty to like. The scheme is designed to make the area around the station more pedestrian-friendly, with improved public space, wider walking routes, better cycling facilities, a new cycle hub and step-free access between Bishopgate Street and New Station Street.
The taxi rank will also move to Bishopgate Street, with a new shelter and kerbside boarding.
So, after years of barriers, diversions, temporary arrangements, engineering works and at least one deeply controversial letter (lest we forget 'Welcome to Leeps') the end is apparently in sight.
We'll keep you updated with any updates and opening date of the new station, but we wouldn't hold your breath if the last couple of months are anything to go by.
Leeds United to pay tribute to fan who tragically died after medical emergency at match
Clementine Hall
Leeds United have issued a statement regarding their tribute to a fan who has sadly passed away.
Colin Westby was watching the game against Manchester United at Elland Road on Sunday 18 October when suddenly he became ill and was taken to hospital.
The 68-year-old was then placed into a medically induced coma but after a period of 'unresponsiveness', the difficult decision was made to stop life support.
Colin was a huge Leeds United fan, and attended matches for over 50 years as a Season Ticket Holder of the club.
Leeds United have issued a statement showing their support, and have confirmed they will be holding a tribute to Colin.
The statement posted on Leeds United's social media is as follows: "Leeds United are heartbroken to learn of the passing of supporter Colin Westby at the age of 68.
"Colin suffered a medical emergency ahead of our Premier League fixture with Manchester United on Sunday 18 October at Elland Road.
"After being transferred to hospital, he was placed into a medically induced coma and sadly following a period of unresponsiveness, the decision was made to withdraw life support.
"Colin was a long-standing Season Ticket Holder at the club, attending matches for over 50 years. The thoughts of everyone at Leeds United are with Colin’s family and friends at this sad time.
"We will pay tribute to Colin in the 68th minute of our next Premier League fixture with Tottenham Hotspur, on Saturday 7 November."
Of course, in true Leeds United fashion, fellow flans flocked to the comments to pay their respects to Colin and express their support for his family.
