I enjoy practicing at Pure Fire Yoga and had a wonderful experience at a recent retreat in San Pancho, Mexico.

First time ever doing yoga, and it was an incredible experience! I had a great instructor with Mira, who was positive and energetic, and the whole studio is so great and friendly! Definitely recommend for anyone at any level of experience with yoga!
AMAZING EXPERIENCE. After having the luxury of taking one class I am hooked! PureFire is beautifully designed with lots of natural light and is immaculate. A huge thank you to Marcus and Nick, who went above and beyond to ensure I had an incredible class! Impressive on all levels. Cannot wait to go back!
Teacher training at PureFire Yoga
PureFire 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 PureFire 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 to around ~105°F, 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 — there are showers on site; 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.
