From the reviews
My first time in the studio was very welcoming. The staff greeted me and let me know of what I should expect during the class. While I struggled to keep up, I was never made to feel like a “newbie”
I don’t even know where to begin. As someone who prides himself on health and fitness, I didn’t think I would be challenged (in a good way), in the Hot Pilates class, that focused around core strength and hip flexors exercises.
Love love love body alive! The instructors and front desk staff are so welcoming and friendly. I must shout out Regan, Kate B, and Kate P. Whether you’re taking their class or seeing them in passing they are so welcoming and supportive.
Grace L is an incredible instructor. This was my first class. Her energy and positivity powered me through the workout! I cannot recommend Body Alive enough!!! If you get a chance, take a class with Grace! I never felt uncomfortable or unable. Her encouragement and method of instruction is so motivating.
Teacher training at Body Alive Oakley
Body Alive Oakley 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 Oakley
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.
