From the reviews

Some of the best staffing for this yoga studio and is real nice inside . This place is on the small side and can get full of people so its a good idea to make your reservation. The staff always accomodates their patron with assistance to a spot on the floor. Check this one out! It's worth a try.

This Unique studio has something for everyone (and free parking). Saturday morning yoga is always on my schedule, but they have classes every day! Most hot classes are done on your mat and towels are recommended.

★★★★★ — T, Apr 2023

If you’re looking for a great yoga workout, Mota Thai Yoga studio is the place to get in shape. Attending the hot yoga classes, I am able to get a great workout without injury, as muscles are warmed up when practicing more challenging yoga positions. I also find the music energizing and atypical of other yoga studios.

★★★★★ — Deb, Apr 2023

Mota Thai Yoga is "THE" place to go for a beautiful and unique holistic yoga experience. Luiz and his professional staff are very kind, highly trained and certified to help guide you on your own personal journey with yoga. As soon as you walk in the door, Yael will make you feel at home!

Your first hot yoga class at Mota Thai 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.
