A giant thank you to the family that owns this studio!!! I’m from California and staying on the other side of the state or Michigan for vacation and I drove 2.5 hours for a Bikram yoga which is difficult to find these days and it made my day, I couldn’t be happier to find a traditional Bikram style with a great…

Best workout available anywhere! Teachers have deep understanding of yoga, and the space is super clean and organized with plenty of hot water for showering. The community is super friendly and welcoming. Such an uplifting experience!! Will definitely be getting a membership (which are really reasonably priced).

★★★★★ — Ishwari, Jun 2018

Just took my first class there. It was wonderful. My teacher, Ashley, was really great at giving guidance to me personally while keeping the flow of the class smooth and also made me feel very welcome. I felt taken care of and physically felt amazing afterward. I will take another class here for sure.

Your first hot yoga class at Original Hot Yoga Traverse City

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.
