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.

The classes start promptly, which in my experience is actually rare at a majority of studios (they lock the doors when the classes start - which is a great incentive to be on time and reduces the distractions you can get in other studios due to late arrivals). The layout of the studio is awesome, and they have a fantastic modular rope wall the likes of which I've never seen!

Zenya Yoga, truly stands out as a remarkable sanctuary for anyone passionate about yoga, regardless of their experience level or preferred style. What sets this studio apart is its genuine commitment to offering a comprehensive range of yoga practices from traditional to kundalini, you name it they have it, making it a rare gem where every yoga loving being can find their path or peace. From the moment you step through the doors, you're greeted by a calming and beautifully designed space that immediately puts you at ease. The atmosphere is one of serene welcome, clean, extremely spacious, and filled with natural light, they even have massage rooms, a kitchen, and so much more, creating an ideal environment for introspection and movement. All props - mats, blocks, straps, bolsters, and blankets - are readily available, clean, and in excellent condition, showing the studio's dedication to student comfort. The changing rooms and restrooms are also impeccably maintained, adding to the overall positive experience. One of Zenya Yoga studio's strength, lies in its incredibly diverse class schedule and exceptionally skilled instructors. Whether you're a complete beginner looking to build foundational strength in Hatha, an experienced practitioner craving the dynamic flow of Vinyasa, or seeking the deep release of Yin or Restorative yoga, this studio has it all. They also offer specialized classes such as invigorating as Twerkology, with Courtney Bolton, where you can dance and gain fitness through Hip-Hop choreography and cardio conditioning. Each instructor I've encountered here is not just highly knowledgeable and experienced, but also deeply encouraging and attentive. They provide clear, precise instructions, offer insightful adjustments, and create a supportive environment where you feel empowered to explore your practice safely and confidently. It's clear that the teaching team is passionate about sharing the benefits of yoga in all its forms. The class sizes feel just right - large enough for a vibrant energy, yet small enough that instructors can still provide individual attention. The community at Zenya Studio is wonderfully inclusive and welcoming. There's a palpable sense of camaraderie and respect among students, fostering an environment where everyone feels comfortable and encouraged. As a new comer to the major yoga practices, aside from my introduction to yoga, due to a military sustained injury, I immediately felt a part of something special, never intimidated but welcomed and comforted by everyone with smiles and great conversations.

Kendall is wonderful, she is helping me through my prenatal journey, on both the class classes that I've tried. I loved it so much and I did get a membership. My husband's going to sign up for the 10 class pass, so he can accompany me sometimes. The square footage in this place is amazing, there's a lot of room, and everything is very clean. I feel very safe in this space. You don't have to be an extreme Yogi, you can be a beginner, or trying to find your way during pregnancy. Although they don't have any prenatal classes incorporated, they do help you with different classes, like gentle flow, and restorative yoga, which is slow enough to help with pregnant women, but any class I'm sure you can go with your own pace, and just ask for More support pillows and blocks. Bathroom is clean, the temperature felt right, as well as there dispensers smelling good and relaxing! There are several different classes to choose from, and you can join by paying five dollars for two classes, and once you get your membership, you get the first week for free. It's a great deal, and anyone looking for a new yoga gym in Portsmouth, which are very few to none in the area, this is your place to go. I would check it out if you haven't already, you won't regret it!

I've had two knee replacements since joining and if it weren't for this place, I don't think my recovery would have been as successful as it has been. I am more flexible now than I was in my 20s and thankfully, my balance is improving in spite of the fact that I used to be called Weeble's wobbles growing up. The people that come here are of all ages, body types, and fitness level. No matter where you are in the journey, you will always Feel at home here. Very grateful for the Studio!

I'd been…read moremeaning to come to Get Well Soon for quite some time and I finally got around to booking an appointment for the infared sauna. It's located in the Ghent area. If you are familiar with this part of Norfolk, you probably know that parking in this side of town can sometimes be challenge. There are about 4 parking spaces in front of the building or you can park across from it on the street. Booking was very simple and straight forward. Be prepared to pay for the service in it's entirety when booking. If you are booking as a couple, your guest will need to fill out the intake form in person because the online booking only allowed me to fill out one. Loved decor here. The Seafoam green gives it a nice touch and it matches their website. Super clean in here too. I had to use the restroom before we entered the sauna and I was very pleased with how neat and tidy it was We were directed to our room for the infared sauna. There are plenty of towels and robes for guests. I loved the sauna, it was really nice and relaxing for the both of us. The only thing that I didn't like was the little draft at the bottom of the door. This prevented the temperature from going up, but other than that, I felt amazing after. We will definitely be back.

I received the Standard Plus facial from Kailey back on July 3. It. was. everything. Kailey knows her stuff. Once I had changed and Kailey adjusted my headband I received a brief aromatherapy treatment. I've gotten plenty of facials before but this was the first time any aesthetician has ever done that. She placed the oil on her wrists and had me breathe deeply in and out before starting my service. It was the perfect touch because if you're like me, you're probably rushing to your appointments. My facial was amazing. This was my first service with Kailey but it won't be my last. She examined my skin before she began. I loved the fact that she answered all my questions and even gave my suggestions for different services to look into during the winter months. Extractions are always a love-hate experience for me but all of the congestion from my face was removed and my skin was so soft when I left. During the facial Kailey and I chatted about other treatments that would be great for my skin, how often I should be receiving facials, and my at-home routine. I'd also like to add that Kailey is a product wiz! When we were quarantined she helped me revamp my entire skin routine. I think we all dealt with maskne but I also believe my diet and stress caused my skin to go into panic or something. Kailey and I texted and talked over the phone about my skin and its needs. My whole regimen got a much-needed facelift and my skin is doing so much better. Anytime she recommends something for me (and no she doesn't sell products so no gimmicks there) I get it! Since then I have had minimal (and I mean minimal) breakouts and the texture of my skin has improved drastically. We're currently working on tone and hyperpigmentation and I'm excited to see those results. I'll be returning for another facial with Kailey at Get Well Soon the next time I'm back home. Check her out, your skin will thank you!

At some other studios, I've noticed that the teachers kind of rush through the classes, but the instructors here take their time, walking around the class and helping students get into alignment safely. Meaghan and Gil, the owners, are the most lovely people! They make sure to remember your name and keep up with you. They are easily some of the best instructors I've ever practiced under. As for the studio itself, it has 2 rooms in which to practice. The parking lot is a bit small, but it's to be expected due to the urban setting. They do have lots where overflow parking can go though. The only thing that makes me sad is that they don't offer that many classes, but they will be adding some soon due to the recent graduating instructors. I'm so excited!!!

If you have not done any hot exercise (hot yoga, etc) in the past, you may not feel great after your first workout - but that's because the toxins are leaving your body! Bring plenty of water (in a closely container, no open straws!) and a towel. They provide special heat resistant mats for the isometric classes (Pilates, barre, yoga just to name a few), and also offer high intensity classes such as cycling or rowing. I had a great experience doing the barre class. There is a virtual instructor on the screen guiding you through the poses. You can also schedule your own sessions via the mobile app - it's very easy to either schedule solo visits or with up to 2 friends in the same class. Also a benefit: 24 hour access to members, to fit their individual needs. Definitely a great place to promote your health and sweat it out!
