From the reviews
Emily Winters has created something truly special with Homebody. I’ve been a yogi since 2018, but since joining this studio in December, I’ve found a new level of peace. The atmosphere is incredibly inviting and friendly—it’s not just a studio; it’s a genuine community.
Homebody is great! They have the best instructors, I love the variety of classes offered and the space is so gorgeous and cozy. They use infrared heat instead of blown air which is amazing, i much prefer it. The flows are challenging but accessible to a range of levels and I always look forward to classes!
Love Homebody so much!! Great space, community, and teachers. Emily and team have curated something so special! I look forward to every class I take, and love the different class offerings. The infrared heaters in class are incredible - always the best sweat without feeling stuffy in the space.
Homebody has the best atmosphere, community, and classes I’ve experienced at any yoga studio. The studio has no mirrors, which encourages students to focus on how they feel in class as opposed to how they look. There’s no crazy lights or loud music— the focus is all yoga.
Teacher training at Homebody Yoga and Wellness
Homebody Yoga and Wellness 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 Homebody Yoga and Wellness
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 — there are showers on site; 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.
