From the reviews
New place (owner). Mixing it up. Plenty of classes with a big variety. Most are 45 minutes (don't be fooled, it'll be a great workout). Excellent teachers who take advantage of a wide variety of props. Nice place to hang with other fitness aficionados. From Beginner to Olympic athlete anyone can get a good sweat on.
Today I have completed 125 classes and I could’ve not done it without the help of all the Pilates instructors at body alive. I have seen a change in my body and strengthen.
I felt amazing afterwards, the workout was a great challenge I would defined do it again. I personally don’t normally like the heat but the room was tolerable and definitely got me burning some calories for sure LOL. The relief you feel afterwards makes you feel accomplished!
I tried hot Pilates for the first time and absolutely loved it! I was really nervous going in because I have some health issues that make workouts more challenging, but this class was amazing. It pushed me in the best way — there were moments I thought, “I can’t do this,” but the heat actually helped me push through.
Teacher training at Body Alive Aurora
Body Alive Aurora 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 Body Alive Aurora
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.
