★★★★★ — Mandy, May 2021

I’ve always enjoyed yoga but have been sporadic about where and how often I practice. I took advantage of a drop-in opportunity at Aware and have been hooked since. The instructors, while all unique in their own styles, are phenomenal. Not to mention, the facilities are top-notch.

★★★★★ — Alisha, May 2022

I’m not gonna lie to you as a plus size girly this class was extremely intense(it was my first time). I’m also not gonna lie and say that I didn’t have fun because this was probably the best workout I’ve ever had without all the heavy lifting and all the extra cardio, this right here is where it’s at.

★★★★★ — Madison, Sep 2025

This yoga studio, is by far, one of the nicest studios I've been to. You can tell Nikki (the owner) has put a lot of thought and love into this place! The flow (pun intended) of the facility is very nice.

Your first hot yoga class at Aware Hot 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 (or rent them here), 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.
