You can immediately tell the difference in the precision and quality of staccato Barre over pure…read moreBarre or boot barre, etc. I have taken classes of all levels and these classes are hands down the best. Here's what I like: Despite Barre's reputation as skinny only and snooty, these classes are approachable and the environment is welcoming to all. You will still be motivated and worked - no pity parties here - but it's accessible to everyone and Renée makes sure form is correct so you don't get injured. And the classes are HARD. Lots of classes and a good schedule You don't get penalized for cancelation HOWEVER Book online fast bc asses do fill up. I've never seen anyone outright turned away yet, bc she has ways to adapt the room, but I wouldn't be surprised if they bump into that soon. The owner has a massage /LMT business and makes all teachers undergo her training which includes EXTENSIVE anatomy training. Trust me. Your hips and knees will notice the difference and thank you for it. Lots of gear and toys! What I don't like: parking can be a pain at times. Give yourself an extra 5 to 10 min. BUT if you're running late, let her know and she'll usually be able to set you up so you can jump right in Wish it was closer for me. I have about a 30 drive, but I make it 2 to 3 times a week usually.

I'm trying this new thing where I try and be "healthy" and "take care of my body" and "try not to…read moredie prematurely." I'm doing OK with it at home in Brooklyn, but when we travel it tends to fall by the wayside. In an effort to change that, we looked up and hit up The Hot Yoga Spot. And you should too, because it's great. The studio is clean, and surprisingly large (lots of rooms for all kinds of activities that you'll see if you head to the bathroom). We got lucky enough to have Julie as our instructor the day we went, and she is just a sweetheart. She led us through a pretty classic vinyasa class, and was nice enough not to comment on how bad I am at yoga. The only thing I'm entirely sold on is the mirror in the studio. I'm not sure if this is standard, but there hasn't been a mirror in the other studios I've attended. On the one hand it's good because you can check your alignment and see what you're doing wrong. On the other, I can see all the things I'm doing wrong, as well as all of my physical flaws and how grossly sweaty I got. Bring your own towel.

Went to my first yoga class and it was a success! As a beginner, I was scared to pick a class for…read more"all levels" but the instructor (Natalli) took it super slow with us and made it feel like a really safe space. The studio has a shower, locker room, cubbies, and a shop area for merch. I brought my own mat but it seemed like you could buy or rent one there if need be, i was able to borrow a towel. The hot yoga spot had its own parking with plenty of spots for the class size, and was a good value for all the quality of the class. I will definitely return!!

I came here with my friend to do a vinyasa class while in town. While I have no complaints about…read morethe instruction or the actual yoga, the atmosphere of this studio is very unusual. It's in a sort of industrial warehouse space. Very high ceilings and little sound proofing between the studios. While I was attending the class, I was really bothered by the amount of noise coming from a group of teenage girls who I think were doing aerial yoga in another studio. Really killed the vibe of the vinyasa class especially during the relaxation portion in the last 10 minutes. Also, this studio is very dog friendly, so folks with allergies please note this. Especially in the entry way, there were a couple dogs including one that appears to belong to the owners. Not sure I'd come back here which is not something I say lightly about a yoga studio.

I have been going to this studio for a year and there is nothing like it! Jessica (owner and…read moreinstructor) teaches both yoga and aerial strengthening classes. My personal favorite are the aerial classes, which have changed my body in ways that other fitness classes have failed. Jessica challenges and pushes you in every class, but if you are a beginner or have injuries, she modifies the exercises specific to your needs. Also, which is extremely important for me, she changes the classes every time to avoid boredom and so your body doesn't get used to the same movements. Other great pluses are the Rockband class - an hour of nonstop cardio hitting wood blocks with drum sticks and Aerial Cirque d Soleil class - performing aerial acrobatics in the swing. She also coordinates a team for obstacle/running events held locally (i.e. warrior dash, urban raid, inflatable 5K, etc) and has a couple weeks out of the year teaching kids specifically. Overall, the atmosphere at the studio (and owner) is warm, welcoming, fun, and challenging. A MUST studio to check out!

If it feels WRONG IT IS!!@....with absolutely zero sense of community in a studio that feels like you are in a parking garage above a bar then this is the place for you....AND THE ONLY PLACE THAT I HAVE EVER PRACTICED THAT USES THE COMMAND ...EXALT ALOT .!!! ...Health and wellness is not what this place is about at all...more like a smug motley click of exercise junkies in some competition ....and I had gone there once when she first opened and it was the same then ...the only reason I just spent the entire winter and idk 650d going there was too try and heal from very severe trauma I had experienced...which REAL YOGA is very helpful with and to sweat...detox...but only hurt my body from Ego based classes and a nasty bacterial infection from the filthy floor that in 5 months of attending I only saw a cleaning service in the locker room once and never did I see the floor being cleaned and I went to back to back classes many many times...and no cleaning occurred...I spent 100d on a new mat there which I threw out after it being on the filthy floors and the sweat of the entire population of the place in it !!! And still have not healed from the bacterial infection I acquired there and its been well over a month and alot of Epsom salt bathes. Like most westernized things Yoga has been reduced to a narcissistic money grab..a big business....and I have come to the conclusion that being in a crowded hot oxygen deprived DIRTY room wearing some overpriced recycled polyester yoga outfit ie plastic on a expensive mat made of who knows what ??listening to some guru wanna be give commands IS NOT A HEALTHY CHOICE! And its not just this place ...most of them...this was just the worst example I ever experienced.... you vote with your TIME and MONEY..keeping mine and back to common sense and the best things in life are free...walking and getting fresh air ...stretching... feeding my mind.. body and spirit..not depleting it ....EXALTING THE LORD NOT SOME FREAK THAT THINKS THEY HAVE BECOME SOME DEMI GOD ...and if the saying cleanliness is next to Godliness is true well ...thus place is the anti Christ!
