From the reviews

I used the first week newbie discount and experienced Kala yoga. A comrade from the area took me here and I got to try the vinyasa, heated Pilates and toning classes. All of them were really good and the instructors were experienced. That said, I’m not sure if I’d travel to this studio and pay the price.

Went here with a few friends for hot yoga with Kate last weekend and LOVED IT! I’ve done yoga all over Brooklyn and am so grateful because I finally found the perfect studio for me! Their practice is exactly what every New Yorker needs...

★★★★★ — Jessica, Feb 2020

Adam is a fantastic instructor. I booked a session through ClassPass, and aside from a restorative yoga class earlier in the week, this was my first time in a more active class. Adam was incredibly supportive, offering alternative poses when needed and making sure everyone felt comfortable at their own pace.

★★★★★ — Kenneth, Apr 2025

Love Kala Bushwick! The heated classes are so addictive I can’t get enough. The space and utilities are great. All instructors are good, with some of them being EXCEPTIONAL; each of them has their unique styles and offers such variety and diversity that always make the experiences fun & well-rounded.

Teacher training at Kalā Yoga

Kalā Yoga 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 Kalā 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 (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.

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.
