From the reviews

This is a very welcoming studio. My sister in law and I enjoyed our first class and how accommodating they are to all levels. If you can't reach a pose alternates are shown with no judgment. They walk through their practice in kindness and in an atmosphere of acceptance. Planning on going back again and again.

★★★★★ — Tracey, Feb 2019

Great experience! Highly recommend for all levels of yoga practicers. Beautiful clean well kept studio and lovely instructors who know how to kick your butt but are mindful of catering to your body and specific needs! Can’t wait for the next class! Look for their Groupon specials.

★★★★★ — Megan, Aug 2019

I just had my first yoga session at Jiva Hot Yoga, and it exceeded all expectations. Sharon, the instructor, created an atmosphere that was not only welcoming and professional but also set the tone for something more meaningful.

★★★★★ — Angel, Dec 2024

Idk how to even express what this place is to me. I started coming here a year ago and I cannot tell you how much it has done for my mental health and my body. The owner sybil is the most humble person ever, a heart of gold. And makes me proud that shes afrolatina like me😊she welcomes everyone as if you are family.

Your first hot yoga class at Jiva Hot 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.
