From the reviews

I loved how small and intimate it was! I really loved how much of a yoga feel it had. Amanda was GREAT!! So motivational and encouraging!! I loved that the other instructors in class weren’t perfect and had to stop and breathe or make adjustments or mods - instructors are real people too and I do appreciated that!!!

My first Barre Yoga class. Instructor Sarah was great. She’s friendly, provided clear instructions and kept class engaged. Studio is very clean, spacious and well equipped with everything you could need. Highly recommend

★★★★★ — Michele, Aug 2023

I came here while in town for a few weeks for work and loved it! I can safely say I don’t think I’ve been to a more welcoming workout studio. The instructors were knowledgeable, varied their routines, and made the classes challenging while offering modifications.

★★★★★ — Molly, Jul 2025

Such a personalized studio! Instructors learn our names and there’s a great sense of togetherness. Music isn’t super loud which is key for me since I have a brain injury (yay! No earplugs needed!) Workouts are adaptable for multiple endurance levels. Classes are a great group of women (and sprinkling of men!

Teacher training at Barre & Soul — Portsmouth

Barre & Soul — Portsmouth 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 Barre & Soul — Portsmouth

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.
