From the reviews

Maddie does a great job of differentiating for different people! She offers a ton of alternative poses and movements, so if you’re brand new or super experienced, there’s definitely a place for you here! As a beginner this was perfect! Place was also incredibly clean and calming. Everything is offered on site!

I tried a mat pilates class at Align and I loved it! I've done years of yoga and pilates classes and Maddie still had some moves I hadn't done before. I love that the classes are heated but not to an extreme where you feel ill, it's just the right level of heat. The studio itself is very nice and aestheticly pleasing.

★★★★★ — Jessica, May 2026

Maddie is an absolute class act! Align just feels special. The space itself was pristine—clean, calming, and beautiful. It's the perfect environment to unwind, focus, and, of course, put in hard work. Maddie’s teaching is nothing short of exceptional. She strikes the perfect balance between guidance and encouragement.

★★★★★ — Daly, Aug 2025

THE BEST YOGA + PILATES STUDIO IN DSM!!! Maddie and Gabbi are the best instructors! Such a good variety of amazing classes. The Pilates classes are always different yet so so good every time! You can tell the whole class and sequence is very intentional from start to finish.

Your first hot yoga class at Align Yoga + Wellness

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.
