From the reviews

Today was our second class at Atha and my third hot yoga class ever! The energy of the room and the care of the instructors is wonderful. I appreciate the guidance and feedback which provides ample opportunity for me to grow in my practice.

★★★★★ — Sharon, Jan 2025

Atha yoga classes, especially the Hot 26 are amazing. It’s so much more than just a yoga class. It’s so good not only for your body, but your mind and spirit. I have not experienced this same feeling and approach at any other yoga class. It’s always mainly about the fitness.

★★★★★ — Anna, Dec 2024

My first hot yoga class at Atha Yoga was incredible! Olga’s exceptional instruction and warm demeanor instantly put me, a beginner, at ease, and her deep understanding of neurology and the body’s complex systems was evident during class. But she made it easy to grasp the how and why of a given pose.

★★★★★ — Don, Sep 2025

I came for Hot Yoga at 7:15 am with Ana. I am a yoga teacher myself and I’ve only done two other hot yoga classes in my lifetime. I’m 61 years old and I’ve been practicing for maybe 10 years.

Teacher training at Atha Yoga

Atha 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 Atha 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 to around ~107°F, 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.
