From the reviews

What a Welcome Back! I had practiced yoga for many years before having children. Having put it to the wayside, I knew that I needed to return to the mat to decrease my continually rising stress and anxiety levels. I found Metta at the most perfect time and loved my experience during my month long trial.

★★★★★ — Kate, Mar 2025

I love Metta yoga. Each class and instructor was unique and allowed their personal style and to offer great diversity making every class I attended feel fresh, personal and authentic. One of the things I appreciate most is how welcoming the studio is.

★★★★★ — Carol, May 2025

Comfortable, clean and professional, this is a great yoga studio. They offer Yin yoga which is perfect for healing or complementing other intense exercises so great for runners and surfers!

★★★★☆ — Mariette, Feb 2025

Metta Yoga in Belmar is an absolute hidden gem for hot yoga lovers! The studio may be small, but that only adds to the intense, immersive experience. The heat builds quickly, making it the perfect place to sweat out toxins, release tension, and completely reset.

Teacher training at Metta Yoga

Metta 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 Metta 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.
