From the reviews

Great studio, highly suggest Euny Lee, Stephanie Walpole, Evelyn Villa, Karen Hayes. I would also suggest Meela S because she is a strong instructor but for the past month her classes have been very unreliable --- so be prepared to show up for class only for you to go home when no instructor shows up or when you're…

★★★★☆ — Oakland, Mar 2026

Great flow and restore class with Carmela. She’s a great teacher and the class was active, then truly restorative. I’ll be back!

★★★★★ — Kat, Mar 2025

I've had weekly yogalates sessions with Krystle at Pink Salt Wellness for about a year and a half now, and they've helped immensely with recovery from injuries, general wellbeing, and keeping my body healthy and strong enough to continue riding multiple horses daily.

★★★★★ — Aja, Dec 2024

My wife and I were brand new to yoga and Krystle and Pink Salt wellness were the best choice we could've made. Started off with private lessons that were meditative and challenging. Mind body experience taken to new levels. and came away with transcendence every time.

Teacher training at Pink Salt Wellness

Pink Salt Wellness 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 Pink Salt Wellness

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.
