From the reviews
I love this studio. I’ve been a member for a couple months now and love it. The people are so welcoming and I feel I belong. I had done Power yoga before, but never at a place that valued the spirituality and mindfulness of yoga so much. It’s been a good change of pace. Highly recommend.
The Barefeet Wellness new studio is warm, peaceful and feels like home again! So happy to be back at Barefeet, there is nothing like it ❤️
After a prolonged, years-long flirtation with and desire to delve into the intriguing world of yoga, I was absolutely delighted to find the opportunity to catch a Saturday a.m. Class with instructor Robin; following a suggestion from friends (both male and female). What an absolutely wonderful experience this was.
Incredible place to practice yoga. The entire atmosphere is positive, welcoming, and inspiring, and I leave every class refreshed, energized, grounded. I've tried most of the instructors and they are all wonderful, each bringing a unique style and vibe to the practice.
Teacher training at Bare Feet Wellness
Bare Feet Wellness 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 Bare Feet 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.
