From the reviews

I did hot yoga for my first time at 8:30am with Taylor this week. It ramped up in pace, but it didn't feel impossible to do. It was challenging, but very well guided. I also loved that Taylor would come around occasionally and make adjustments to our stance. That helped me understand how to pose properly.

I first started classes here years ago when the studio first opened, but with a move and COVID and a new child, I hadn’t been in a while. Today, the stars aligned for me to make a homecoming of sorts to Mary’s Hot 26 class. I had craved this class since my last one in early 2020, and today did not disappoint.

Absolutely love this place! Beautiful studio, gracious and experienced teachers, HOT yoga! My first class was a wonderful way to start my day, and it’s convenient to book online through the MINDBODY app! Showers onsite if you’re needing to get right to work. No corners were cut here, and I highly highly recommend!!

★★★★★ — Emma, May 2018

I was in the area due to work. The work was physical and mentally draining. So, taking a hot yoga class once a week really helped to stretch out sore, tight areas and feel more rejuvenated and stronger. I had only done yoga at home, so going to a studio with infrared heat was new to me.

Teacher training at A Better Me Yoga

A Better Me Yoga comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming an instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — most hot-yoga trainings are Yoga Alliance registered (RYT-200 or RYT-500), and the style matters: a Bikram or hot-power lineage trains differently than a hot-vinyasa or sculpt one. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — cohorts often run in intensive weekend blocks or over several months, and many studios want you practicing regularly there first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.

Your first hot yoga class at A Better Me Yoga

Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
