Chesapeake Hot Yoga - Yoga students - Yoga Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Hot yoga was an incredible experience!!! I've done yoga a couple of times in the past but never thought I would experience hot yoga so when my friend asked if I wanted to attend a session, I was all for it. Chesapeake Hot Yoga is located right off of Kempsville Rd. and since they are located in a plaza, there's plenty of parking which was nice. Our session started at 6:15pm so we all arrived a few minutes prior in order to check in and get set up for our 75 minute session. Once we put our belongings away, we entered the yoga room and it was pretty warm but bearable. The room was large and spacious so we were all able to spread out and have plenty of room to exercise. We brought our own yoga mats but towels were provided and I'm so glad they were. The more movements we made, the more I sweat. I was drenched from head to toe once it was over and my yoga mat was soaked by the end of the session lol. Thankfully, we were given a cold towel that was lavender scented to place on our heads to cool us down and it felt great. Overall, as intense as the warm temperatures were in the room, I would return in a heartbeat. Our instructor, Kali, was absolutely awesome. She was very patient and allowed us to go at our own pace. I love doing yoga and I highly recommend everyone give hot yoga a try, at least once. read more

I have been having a great experience at Chesapeake Hot Yoga during my trial week. Staff and instructors are friendly and helpful. I appreciate how easy it is to sign up for classes online. I've taken the Hot Vinyasa, Light and Warm , and NuPower class. I recommend them all! Each class allows you to explore and enrich your skills. I'm more aware of my breathing and stretch abilities just by going to 3 classes so far. I have also been so grateful for the reasonable prices. Place is organized and clean, they have organization down to a science with specific places for blocks, weights, cubbies for yoga students, a labeled laundry bin etc. Inside the yoga room you will find a relaxing environment that honors everyone's needs and space. I was nervous my first class, but warmed up really quick because it feels safe and comfortable there. The instructors are really supportive. Music is perfect for the ambience. I am hooked and want to be there everyday. I will definitely be here more regularly! Great place to learn and practice yoga! read more

I took a class through a special that was offered. Their instructors are amazing! Great service! You should give it a try! I will definitely be back. read more

Been going there whenever I get the chance when I'm in town. Fantastic classes, great teachers. I've taken their hot classes, light & warm, and candle lit classes. I always leave feeling fantastic. They always offer and encourage to modify for your own body and experience, which I appreciate. Highly recommended! read more

Today was my first time to do yoga. Great first experience. Initially I was concerned bc I've not done yoga and didn't know what to expect but the instructor was very thorough w her instructions. read more

Me and my friend came across this place in a Groupon. It is small but the studio is fairly great size. I had no idea what hot yoga was but my goodness! When I entered the studio I thought I was entering the gates of Hell! I immediately regretted my decision to go. The class runs about 1 hour 15 minutes. The instructor was relaxing and helped with poses my friend was not familiar with. By the end, I felt renewed and fresh. I didn't think I would like this but I have to say, it's amazing. The staff is friendly. They have a bathroom for changing. There are small cubbies to place your bag,shoes, and belongings. Can't wait to go again. read more

Chesapeake Hot Yoga - First hot yoga post pic. Omg!! Feel great!! - Yoga Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Great teachers! Every class is different and never gets boring. The 75 minute classes are awesome

A friend gave me a free pass for Chesapeake Hot Yoga, so I went and tried it out. It's a very nice facility--probably the largest hot yoga room in the area. Space is a much appreciated luxury when you are sweating profusely and doing a lot of bending over. I'm just saying. The owner taught the class I took and it was lovely. I would go back except it's a bit of a hike from my house. They do teacher training, one of the only places around here that does (for hot yoga). And they offer massage. If you live in Chesapeake, definitely check it out. Hot yoga will change your life. read more

Started out with a Groupon and now in my 5th month. Highly recommended, great value if you practice yoga frequently. Classes vary, I prefer the hot yoga (and it gets hot) that is 75 minutes long. The more frequently you practice, the better it gets. Different instructors bring different approaches to practice and variety is what makes it interesting. I recommend starting out with the light and warm (85 degrees) and working into the hot yoga. read more

Nice facility with friendly experienced staff that are welcoming to beginners. If you're considering giving yoga a try this is a great place to start. I stink despite trying for some time and in spite of my inabilities I always feel welcome being there. The yoga room is more than large enough to comfortably accommodate 10 to 12 students. There are two decently sized locker/restrooms and a single message room, which I haven't tried so I don't have anything to say on the message therapist. There's also an extra storage box at the entrance if the locker rooms are full. There are plenty of mats, towels and yoga supplies so no need to have anything other than yourself when you get there. Prices are decent and the location is convenient for most Chesapeake residents. Overall this is a nice place for yoga. It's clean, relaxing and has good instructors. Not sure if the prices are competitive compared to the beach? Still I give it 4 Stars and hopefully will get myself there a little more regularly, I certainly need it. read more

I am updating me review to reflect my experience of purchasing a 10 pass groupon and using it over a period of 30 days. I will give my experience from the great things to the not so great things I experienced at the location 1. The instructors are amazing, every single one of them. I think I experienced about 6 different instructors and no 2 are alike. I love to experience change and growth and the fact that none of the instructors did the same poses, some more intense than others helped me learn a lot. 2. The location: the yoga room is large, the lobby and locker room could be a little more spacious. If you go at night where there are 2 classes back to back, you have people waiting in the lobby, hallway and locker room to go in all while the previous class is in the same spaces trying to leave. Now the negative or I'll just call it the not so bubbly part of my experience. When you walk into the door there is someone checking you in and usually the instructor there. I get a great sense of warmth from the instructor and pure cold from the woman checking me in. No matter how much I smile, be polite, etc she will just not crack a smile or show any sense of calm and warmth, which is something I would appreciate prior to getting into my practice. At first I thought maybe she was having a bad day, we all do, but every single time I came she was that way towards me. The regulars, not so much. Maybe its because I have a groupon and not a regular priced pass. I couldn't tell you, but it just dampened my spirit. I will eventually purchase a pass, and update if things change. But its unfortunate how someones mood and change the vibe of your whole day. Other than the not so bubbly front desk person I will definitely return for the long haul. read more

The staff here is great! I bought the trial from them for a great price. I was able to go a few times and had Jennifer as an instructor. She was so good! It was my first time doing HOT yoga and I loooooove it so much. Once I can afford to go back and have somebody to watch my son more often I'll certainly be going here. They also have great groupon deals pretty often that friends have used. Great atomosphere read more

Chesapeake Hot Yoga - They are so sweet! Hand written post cards are a nice touch and not something you get too often any more! - Yoga Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I practiced martial arts for 12 years and stopped in my early twenties. Since then, I've been looking for some sort of a fitness program I enjoy enough to stick with. One of my friends recommended hot yoga, so I decided to give Chesapeake Yoga a try. The studio is clean, the teachers are nice (also patient!), and the classes are awesome. I was a little nervous going the first time as I am a total novice ( I've never been able to touch my toes I am so inflexible!). After a few classes, I still can't touch my toes, but I'm getting closer! More importantly, after each class I feel fantastic and the heat makes my skin look and feel great. I started going with a friend, now I go with my husband 2-3 times a week and he absolutely loves it. I definitely recommend giving this studio a shot. read more

This is the first time I have done hot yoga, and I have fallen in love! I got a good deal on Groupon early January for 10 sessions. Although I would say the classes are expensive, this is one of the cheaper studios in the Hampton Roads area. I loved that the class descriptions were listed online. They have a variety of different classes with different temperatures as well. My personal favorite was the hot vinyasa class. You feel so stretched and relaxed at the end. They always spray the room with a lavender scent that is so relaxing. All of the instructors I encountered were great. Their mindset and voices were pleasant, which helped increase my relaxation. They have a men's and women's room where you can store your things. The instructors lock the doors to the studio when the class begins to prevent any interruptions. No cell phones in the studio! They also sell yoga mats, bags, shirts, and personalized hydro flasks. I need to get back on this routine! read more

I have been taking hot yoga for over 10 years now and have been in studios all across the country! I recently moved to VA Beach and was excited to try Chesapeake Hot Yoga. What an amazing facility and one of the best I've ever been in! The instruction is fantastic and the owner is very dedicated and passionate. The studio is clean, has showers, plenty of storage and offers the extras including free hand towels for use! At the end of a hot session, I always love the peppermint-infused ice cold hand towel the instructor places on your forehead to help with the cool-down process -- a nice personal touch that other studios don't offer! I highly recommend Chesapeake Hot Yoga -- and even more, if you've never taken yoga, I hope you try it out! There are classes for all yoga and fitness levels. You'll love it! read more

I have known Kevin for a while he has always been sweat and caring. Yesterday was the first time I took his class but since he is fairly new as an instructor I thought he was going to guide us on an easy class..boy was I wrong..LOl... he was by far one of the toughest instructors I ever had but yet so gentle. His instructions where clear and easy to fallow. I suffer from neck and shoulder pain due to my job. Early that morning my neck and shoulder were screaming to me but i went anyway. I was so greatly surprise and how GOOD his class make me feel it was almost like he knew what posses I needed to release the tension on that day....I am glad I took his class and looking forward to many more ..GOD bless you Kevin read more

This studio was recently purchased by a new owner who really seems invested in sharing her passion of yoga and fitness with her clients...all of the teachers are fantastic!!! After a lower back injury I was searching for a new fitness activity that would challenge me but not cause havoc on my joints. I found hot yoga which allows your muscles to be more flexible and less prone to injury. As a nurse, I also found This place and all staff to be very knowledgeable in anatomy/physiology. Even my husband, an avid skier and biker, loves to come here. I would highly recommend this studio! read more

I thought yoga was supposed to be a relatively quiet practice. Focused on One's breath, allowing and releasing. K played bad music extremely loud. I couldn't focus on anything except the pounding in my head. Upon returning to the front of the class she would then "yell" (to now be heard over the blaring music) pose instructions. I suppose the music would not have been bad or disturbing had I been taking a Zumba class, but I was in yoga. The loud music coupled with the bad acoustics, I couldn't understand a word of her instruction. Apparently, I wasn't the only one. When I looked around the class for cues from the other students, 1/2 were in differing poses. If you're looking to feel empowered and uplifted in your yoga practice, stay out of this class. It was a total assault of all the senses. read more

I am a triathlete and was training for my first Iron Man when I took my first class at CHY. I was hooked. After only my third class, I signed up for the teacher training. I have been teaching for over 4 years and love every minute of it. Arianna, owner of CHY, instills a professionalism, safety, and a dedication to traditional yoga yet makes it open and available to anyone at any skill level (total novice to 40-year veteran) and without any religious proselytizing. Everyone is welcome and made to feel like family. read more

The room was barely warm and for a hot vinyasa session not intense at all. I barely sweated at all. Not what I was expecting based on their website and class description. Severely disappointed. Won't be coming back. Going to check out other places in the area. read more

This is the best studio I have ever been to! It's clean! Accommodating! Great staff! Will give you a great workout! They have a variety of classes for everyone! Let's begin with the hot room. There is plenty of space. The atmosphere is really relaxing. The lighting and music are very ambient. The floor is made of wood and is very clean! I really appreciate all these things after trying other studios. The teachers and staff are all very accommodating. They were all very encouraging and welcoming especially for someone new to yoga. I really like that some teachers would realign you if you needed it. The classes are never disappointing. You get different styles of teaching from their different teachers, but I have never been disappointed! I always leave this studio feeling like I've finished a great workout! read more

love love LOVE it here. Been coming off and on for years. Throughout class the instructors help you to get a bit deeper into poses and also mention interesting facts about how each posture benefits the body. I'm a person who is VERY in tune with my own body so for me to learn something new is really saying something. They do military discounts and I think student discounts as well. Every space is exceptionally clean from the changing room to the yoga room and the cold peppermint/lavender towel at the end of class is the perfect ending. I practiced with Briana today and she was wonderful. read more

I had an amazing experience here at CHY. Everyone was friendly! I did the 7 days trial for $20 I think? and I went for 2 classes everyday in 6 days straight. I tried all the different classes and instructors. I have my favorites of course! Amazing instructors. read more

I came here on a 10 day pass and it was great. I had done yoga before, but never hot yoga. I was never given a formal tour of the place, more a "here's where this goes, there's that if you need it" feel/learn from watching others. Sometimes the locker room feels less than clean, but that happens when everyone is shedding snowy clothes and some people don't take shoes off in front. The instructors were all very welcoming and provided options in many if not all of the poses. I would definitely go here again. read more

I had my first "warm" yoga experience here this morning, and it was great! I attended the Light and Warm class with Felicia. I arrived early with my Groupon, and they were very nice. They helped me get set up with a rented mat and talked me through what to expect. I had not been to a yoga class in four years, and I had never encountered any heated yoga. I thought the Light and Warm was perfect in this situation. The room was 85 degrees, so toasty but not overwhelming. And Felicia did an amazing instructing job, making it easy for me to take breaks and flow right back in when I was ready. I will definitely be going back, and I imagine I'll be joining at the end of my Groupon. read more

I took my 5 year old son to Chesapeake Hot Yoga today for their kids' yoga class. He absolutely did not want to go to yoga, so I pretty much had to bribe him to go! He is pretty calm by nature, but loves "rough and tumble" activities, and I was unsure what he would think of the experience. The class was amazing! They did a fabulous job of gearing it toward little ones, with a mix of beginning yoga and some really fun activities. My son gave it a thumbs up and rated it a 100% (he is very into numbers). The teachers were knowledgeable, professional, well prepared, and extremely personable -- and my son is asking to go back again. Highly recommend!!! read more

I recommend Chesapeake Hot Yoga's teacher training for anyone looking to teach or enhance their teaching skills. The studio offers both 200 and 300 hour training. And, is a registered Yoga Alliance training school. The class times are perfect for an otherwise full time worker. The training staff is amazing! read more

I live in Las Vegas and love the heat. I travel a lot and always try to get in a yoga class. I mainly do Bikram but was thrilled when I found this place on a lay over trip. The staff was friendly, the facility was clean (even the showers) and the "rental mat" was nearly brand new as was the towel. I took two different classes. Both instructors demonstrated exceptional knowledge in a safe class environment. The classes deepend my yoga practice, they were more challenging and definately more fun than the traditional 22 postures in other hot yoga studios. I left feeling like I had a great workout, and in fact I bought a class pass on my way out. I will definitely be back. Thanks Chesapeake Hot Yoga! read more

Just started yoga at age 64 to help with getting my body in shape, very happy with their Restorative Yin Class, just exactly what I needed to get started. Instructors very nice and helpful. Facility very nice and clean. Highly recommend. Hope to slowly advance to other classes as my body responds to Yin me. read more

Love the studio! Clean and welcoming (mostly). The majority of the instructors are great but there are a few that I dont care for. My biggest complaint is that there are too many instructors and no set schedule of instructors. When I started back, I fell in love with Felicia's classes. She is such a wonderful instructor. She is so empowering and positive! She always offers variations when available and shows you how to do them. She is the reason I kept coming back after my Groupon was finished. Lately I haven't seen her on the schedule which makes me sad. Another great instructor there is Rebecca M. Her classes are kick ass! I wish that the schedule of instructors stayed pretty regular instead of varying constantly. read more

I loved it. Chesapeake Hot Yoga offers 3 classes for $20 for new residents to Hampton Road residents with an additional discount for military. Large studio. I am going to get my teacher training next year. read more

This was the first location I tried out hot yoga in the area, upon entry the first thing I noticed (like another review stated) was that the entrance was very cramped, and with a full class exiting and another entering it was not pleasant since there isn't a lot of room to maneuver in the hallways. However once the previous class cleared, it was a lot better. The class itself was very good, I really enjoyed how hot the room itself was kept and how we were able to spread out a little, though this was a significantly smaller class. I was set in my mind that I would for sure be getting a membership even though it was kind of a hike. Fast forward to the next week I attended a class on Sunday and I think that there might be a discrepancy on class capacity, it was clear that we were very packed in there, even after the class had started people were still rolling in making it so that the rest of the class had to keep readjusting. It was slightly uncomfortable to be less than 8 inches away from the person next to me when we were all sweating waterfalls but nevertheless I was there to work out, secondly on a day where they only had 2 classes they had no yoga towels to rent (my fault that I forgot mine) and only had shower towels to hand out which I tried to work with, whatever, still having a good workout. The deal breaker this day was when in the middle of a 100 degree hot room, halfway into the workout someone got up and started spraying some kind of god awful room spray I think from yankee candle, who does that? I ended up leaving 10 minutes early because that just ended up being a very bizarre class. I'm hoping that was just a one time bad experience because I have been there without error before, so I'm thinking I'll give the studio another shot on a different day of the week. read more

I have been to this location a few times now and every experience is great! If it weren't so expensive, I would be there at least 3-4 days a week but being a trainer at a gym that offers yoga, I'll have to opt for regular yoga. read more

Felicia is AWESOME! My first time having class with her. She is so thorough, informative, and accommodating. She really cares about those in her class. And shows great techniques no matter what level you are in yoga. She is the BEST. I have some back problems and she really helped me and the class to better stretch the lower body and more. She is also the only instructor that ever came up to me while in child's pose and massages my back to help me more. SHE IS GREAT AND SO SWEET. Her presence made class so great. Best instructor ever. - Me and my fiancé usually go one Wednesdays for the 430 class. We are beginners to yogas and our instructor has been phenomenal in guiding us. (I can't remember her name) :( -- However, she is very thorough and considerate to every individual and their level of performance. Her voice is very soothing. She makes the hot yoga very enjoyable. However, we have had to switch our days due to our work schedules. We went on Friday at the 615 class. This instructor was very good too. A little more intense, but we liked it, this being our third class. However, he did forget to put a towel on my fiancés head, while everyone else got one. Also, the towel that the instructor places at the end of the class is something we always look forward to after our session. My fiancé was a little disappointed but not as much as I was until he said he was really looking forward to it and noticing that everyone else got one, including me :( So, it made my stress free yoga session into a disappointing one at the conclusion of it all. Maybe pay a little more attention to detail... Other than that, we have enjoyed our sessions and look forward to our other classes with other instructors. Great studio and location. Very clean and everyone is very nice. Always smells good too :) read more

I was drawn to yoga for some time before I finally took the plunge and went to CHY for a trial membership. It's been over a year and a half now, and I am an avid member. The studio is large, clean, and the staff, teachers, and owner included are just a few of the reasons I keep coming back for more. Ive enjoyed the benefits of improved health, minimal anxiety and stress, including the maintenance of over 35 pound weight loss, and I've dropped 3 dress sizes! As a person that has always fluctuated in weight, I have managed to resume to a healthier lifestyle without the pressures of intense weight training and endless cardio hours. I find joy and peace in the workouts I take at CHY. Some days you need the challenge, some days you just want to melt, and there is a class for whatever I desire. The opportunities for continued education are an added incentive as I continue to live in the yoga spirit. Thank you CHY for keeping me coming back for more! read more

Several years ago a friend was in town visiting and wanted to hit a hot yoga class. I'd never been before (for any yoga class) but Chesapeake was the closest I could find and so we gave it a whirl. We were lucky enough to have Arianna (the studio owner) as our instructor and had a terrific class. Enough so that within 2 months I became a member and began attending classes as often as my schedule would allow. All of the staff are friendly and extremely knowledgeable. There are several different types of classes offered now, in addition to the usual hot series. Would highly recommend (and have!) this studio to anyone who wants a great yoga workout. The studio has lovely changing facilities and a huge yoga room with full mirrors on two walls to aid in proper alignment for poses. Additionally, it's immaculate! They often run specials and have great discounts on memberships. read more

My company puts me up in the same hotel near this yoga studio. Instead of having a massage, I go here first, then the massage! Convenient! The teachers are patient, and instructive. The facilities are clean, and the place is welcoming. Why go anywhere else and pay huge sums, when all you need are patient, knowledgeable instructors? read more

The Studio itself is in a good location. It is clean and has great potential. However, when I take a yoga class, I am wanting YOGA nothing else. I was horridly offended by the teacher, which to find out was the owner, used so many curse words, made rude sexual comments with a kid in the room along with mixed company, even talked about her personal issues. I love yoga because it relieves my stress and this by no means is a stress relieving place. read more
