From the reviews

Funky Buddha is an amazing & welcoming hot yoga studio! I started taking classes over a year ago at the Holland location and have moved to GR and taken classes both at Forest hills and East Town and have had great experiences at all locations!

★★★★★ — Madi, Apr 2025

Very stress relieving practice in a welcoming judgment free environment with a diverse selection of classes to choose from for all ranges of skill level. Love this hot house!

★★★★★ — Megan, Nov 2018

The studio is warm and cozy, great for dropping out of work for an hour to clear your mind and take a breath for yourself.

★★★★★ — Christopher, Feb 2020

Been coming here for a year and convinced at least 3 friends to join me which is a testament to how much I enjoy this place. The studio is clean with an excellent community feel. Each instructor brings something slightly different to the table.

Teacher training at Funky Buddha Yoga Hothouse

Funky Buddha Yoga Hothouse 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 Funky Buddha Yoga Hothouse

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.
