From the reviews
This is an outstanding yoga studio. I was visiting the area but wanted to stay on track with my practice, so I bought the "weekender" option which is $50 for 3 classes on 3 consecutive days. I also noticed while I was there that you can go back for a second class on the same day for only $5.
Free To Be Yoga Studio is hands down one of the best yoga spaces in New Orleans! The moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth and positive energy from the teachers and community. The classes are thoughtfully guided, challenging yet welcoming for all levels, and always leave me feeling grounded and uplifted.
Free To Be Yoga has been my studio since moving back to New Orleans about 8 years ago. When I returned I practiced at several studios in the city before settling with FTB. While there are many reasons for my preference it all comes back to the wonderful people.
I absolutely love Free To Be and the yoga community I’ve made here!! Every teacher is unique in their own fabulous way, but they have all cultivated a safe space where yoga is accessible for everyone despite your “skill level”. The hardest part is always getting started/ showing up!
Teacher training at Free To Be Power Yoga Downtown New Orleans
Free To Be Power Yoga Downtown New Orleans 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 Free To Be Power Yoga Downtown New Orleans
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 (or rent them here), 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.
