From the reviews

I had a great class at noon with Jenny. Found parking really easily and it was a really lovely experience. People were very nice and friendly. It’s a very clean pretty studio, they have these cool orbs around, a mural, and art on the walls. A great addition to the neighborhood!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Nina and Elu Yoga. Nina’s presence is so warm and grounding — she creates a space that feels safe, supportive, and deeply nourishing. Her teaching style blends mindfulness, intentional movement, and gentle encouragement, making her classes accessible yet beautifully impactful.

Community yoga has become a weekly routine for me, and what an incredible place to do it in! The space is incredibly beautiful and calming, with stunning local art, amient lighting and AC when needed.

★★★★★ — Halye, Aug 2025

I loved this class. The space felt cozy with good wood floors, beautiful custom paintings on the walls and soft, diffuse lighting. The teacher (and painter!), Tessa, was really welcoming, and guided our class of 4 through most of the primary series at a relaxed yet steady pace. The cork mat I borrowed (thank you!

Your first hot yoga class at Elu Yoga

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.
