From the reviews

So far I have attended two "Gentle Yoga' classes by two different instructors at this studio. The first class was with Instructor Amy. First, she is very welcoming when you walk in the door, greeting you with a smile and making you feel comfortable right off the bat.

★★★★★ — Jaime, Apr 2019

I cannot give enough positive feedback about my experience with Explore YTT. I completed my RYT200 in 2021 at Explore with Amy and an intimate class of students. It was obvious day 1 that Amy was the expert.

★★★★★ — Stephanie, Jan 2022

First time going to explore yoga studio tonight. Decided on yin yoga. It was a great experience. They offer the first class free and it's a quality atmosphere. It's nice and dim, the floors are soft, and it's very clean. The staff is friendly and inviting.

★★★★★ — Tressah, Oct 2018

Have gone to Explore at their previous location and now their new location, and it is my favorite studio ever. All of the instructors are great and the vibe is beautiful. Such a nice place to share some space with such beautiful people! Amy (the owner) is not only a talented instructor but such a kind hearted soul.

Teacher training at Explore Yoga Studio

Explore Yoga Studio 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 Explore Yoga Studio

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.
