From the reviews
Great for all levels, setting a high standard for what a yoga studio should feel like. I drive a significant distance out of my way to come here. Welcoming, inclusive, and genuine. Wide variety of kind & experienced teachers. No ego here; everyone will feel comfortable.
There's a different vibe at B&B and you feel it right away when you walk in. The owner, Julie, is not only super friendly and an amazing teacher but she is also interested in learning more about each person she meets.
The first time I went to Be & Breathe I was fairly inexperienced in yoga, but excited to learn. Now, I feel like I’m part of a family and it’s almost always the highlight of my week. I 100% encourage anyone considering trying yoga or anyone thinking about getting back into yoga to give Be & Breathe a visit.
Great yoga studio nestled in an unassuming strip mall! Studio is bright and the ambient heat in the classroom felt amazing. The class was a familiar Baptiste style flow. The teacher was clearly knowledgeable and I loved the cadence of the practice. Best part... showers! Every yoga studio should have a shower.
Teacher training at Be & Breathe
Be & Breathe 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 Be & Breathe
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.
