I got to try this the first time when my friend was subbing, and she totally kicked my butt. The class was a great workout on a Sunday morning and left me sore for honestly 3 days. She kicked my butt in that class. The second time, I took it with Christy. She was a such a fun and awesome instructor, really enjoyed her a lot! I think with my prior training and cardio workouts got me to keep up with her class and not stay sore for too long! (Thanks Alyssa for the heads up on these classes haha). I love how cute the studio is. Very clean and simple. The decor is small and adorable for the studio and provides pretty much everything that you need. Only need to bring your own towel and water bottle and you're good to go! If I'm actually in RVA during the weekends, you bet your butt I'll be taking a morning class again here!

Wanna burn 500 calories in 50 minutes? Go take a class! The first one is free on their app (linked…read morethrough their website) or there's a deal on Groupon right now. I would recommend the Groupon because you'll definitely want to go more than once! I had my first class with Christy, the owner, and already have my next two scheduled. The classes are small which is nice after the year we've had and it allows for one on one assistance from the instructor. After a fairly lazy pregnancy and recovery I needed and appreciated the extra instruction! With that being said I was nervous for my first class but Christy made it easy to modify the steps. I was still covered in sweat and burned 500 calories before I left. As a new client I felt super welcome and can't wait to go back!

They're encouraging and inspirational to students of all levels. I highly recommend beginners start with a new student private session, then get the Welcome Pack Small Group (it becomes unavailable after you purchase another package). For those already experienced in contemporary Pilates, they'll quickly get you acclimated to the nuances of a more traditionally focused practice of that's your goal. I hope this studio is around forever because I plan to be a member for life! It's the perfect complement to my self-directed home practice.

I have been doing yoga for close to thirty years. probably 40 different instructors or more. Every…read moreexperience left me feeling uplifted and glad I had gone with the exception of the hot yogalaties class at this location. I had been to the location a couple of years before and was happy with it. The problem started at the beginning when the instructor gave a passionate plea to speak up about all the awful stuff going on in the country. I ignored it. To be fair I was happy with the class tempo, music, and degree of difficulty. The class ended with a repeat of political activism and shaming if you might not hold those same opinions. I quietly left class but the instructor was at the desk as I put on my coat. I quietly told her I know she noticed I left early, and that I was used to yogis that left us uplifted with quotes from poets, philosophers , or other yogis. That I felt she was giving a political lecture. She vehemently said " Yoga is political". But i feel it is spiritual not political, or at least should be. I was a drop in so maybe the members like this but if you plan on going to this location just be for warned. I was so put off and mad instead of the feeling of love and peace yoga has brought me over the years.

I don't usually leave reviews (I know I should more for the businesses I love) but felt the need to…read moreafter seeing Stephanie S.'s review. Not only is her review very misleading (because I was there at said class) but she wasn't honest about her behavior (which was embarrassing for her). Every class begins and ends with motivational quotes. Take what resonates and leave what doesn't. Just because something isn't relevant to her life (how lucky) doesn't mean it isn't for someone else. She did not leave quietly, I got to hear her huff & puff and leave class early. I thought that was the end of it but she waited out in the lobby to confront the instructor & raised her voice enough about her Asian American family that came here "the right way" (crazy to assume someone else didn't) that she had to be asked to leave. Now I attend Bruna's class almost every week & always leave feeling empowered & strong. She is an amazing instructor & knows her stuff & I see it every class with how many members love her & look forward to her class. Anyways we love you Bruna & I will always recommend her & all the instructors at Midlo Hot Yoga & Wellness.

Tamara and Andy are a fantastic instructors and this new studio in LangTree is awesome! They put a…read morelot of work into designing this studio and it's such a treat to be able to enjoy it now. I first met them when attending their yoga nights at D9 Brewing and Ghostface Brewing, which were always great yoga experiences. They are super friendly and I learn something new in every class. They currently offer 3 levels of classes from "cultivate" and "inspire" to "fly". The descriptions can be found in their website. Cultivate is geared more for beginners or those who want a slower paced class. Inspire 1 is next up and it then goes up to Inspire 2 and Fly. Today I took the Inspire 1 class which is a good challenge for me. I enjoyed the Cultivate class yesterday and before that I tried Inspire 2. While I could keep up with Inspire 2, it definitely brings in students who are a bit more advanced than myself (beginning to balance upside down etc.) Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, there is a class for you at this studio. When you come in, check-in is easy up front and there is space in the back to change and store your personal items. Shoes are not to be worn when entering the yoga room. Just a warning, they do turn the temperature up between 82-85 degrees during class. Not "hot" yoga, but definitely warm. I usually start sweating before we even start lol, but it's nice while the winter cold is settling in. My favorite part is that near the end during savasana, they will come around with a refreshing chilled damp towel infused with essential oils to help students unwind. Andy and Tamara are currently teaching most of the classes and I think they are adding more instructors in the upcoming weeks. There are currently some new students specials, so check them out online and give them a try! You'll probably become hooked :)

I live nearby this beautiful studio and have been eagerly waiting for it to open. They officially…read moreopen this May! I was able to stop by for a soft opening pop-up of theirs. They were doing pay-what-you-can pilates and dance classes. This studio is absolutely stunning. The huge windows give the space so much delicious lighting. It's spacious and has a great section for dance and then a bunch of stretching equipment. The owner was super kind and excited about the space opening soon. I decided to come for their dance class. I am by no means a dancer, but I can mirror a teacher. They advertised the classes as *no experience required.* Hailey Clevenger was a lovely teacher! She was passionate about dance and excited to teach us. However, this was by no means a beginner friendly class. We weren't able to mirror her and I'm really glad none of my friends joined me. I'm glad I had taken a few modern and ballet classes before because I was able to follow some of it, but after 30 minutes, I was totally lost and felt like I was in a dance audition. I'm excited to see if they'll offer more real beginner classes in the future, but this is an amazing space for experienced dancers who have missed their practice! I'm curious to try their pilates classes too.

I had an amazing time trying out a barre class at this studio. I learned about this charming spot…read morefrom KavaClub and was so excited to learn about a new-to-me place for barre. Barre is my favorite kind of workout. This studio is super cute. It's one big room with a mirror at the front of class. When you walk in, there is a counter to check-in at and a white board with all the equipment you need for the class that day. It's located in a strip mall so there is tons of easy and free parking in the lot out front. They have one single stall bathroom in the back right corner. They also have a water fountain. Mallory was my instructor for the day and was incredibly welcoming and helpful. She took the time to explain the class to me and suggested I sit up front so it was a bit easier to follow her. This class was a really fun challenge. She played music that matched the movements and I found myself shocked at how fast time went. They have great equipment here so you don't need to bring anything but yourself (no special socks needed for this one). I highly recommend checking out this studio!

Our instructor was amazing, she had complete mastery over the space and even provided constructive advice during the workout to us as beginners. I absolutely loved her attention to accessibility as she offered modifications to almost every maneuver. The space is quite spacious and I felt very welcomed as a plus size rider. The best part is they dim the lights and you get to hear the music for the ride and all of the instructions through headphones. It feels like a super fun party and no one has to hear your inevitable deep breathing as you push through the class. Overall this was an amazing, welcoming space for beginners and experts alike. Warning, spin seats are really uncomfortable apparently this is a first timer thing and your body gets used to it but if you've never done a spin class before be prepared to have a little discomfort in that area. I think the workout itself is pretty worth it though as I burned so many calories in a short period of time. If you're like me and worried about starting a new class you can rest assured that this space is welcoming to all shapes, sizes and expertise levels. Even the non-beginner classes allow you to customize the workout and go at the pace that feels good to you. Give it a shot, they have a great new rider deal so the first class is only $17! Can't wait to go back!
