From the reviews

We love it! We really enjoy the energy not only from the instructors, but the entire family here. This crew will make you feel so welcome that you leave all of your insecurities & worries at the door like a heavy coat. But the best part is, you won't put it back on when you leave!

I just moved to the Wilmington area from New Jersey and have been checking out area yoga studios. Rebel Yoga and Pilates was my first stop. I have to say that the heat is amazing and the Pilates class is not your traditional Pilates class! It is in heat and set to pumping music. Billy the owner and instructor is great!

A Wonderful place to practice Bikram Hot yoga & Hot Pilates! Cleanest studio I've ever been too. Teachers are FANTASTIC, they are supportive, encouraging, and will give you the best information, in how to get the most our of your practice and the benefits of each posture!

★★★★★ — Charla, Dec 2018

I’ve been going to Rebel for a month now and have only amazing things to say about this studio! The Pilates classes are easy to schedule, fairly priced (as many workouts as you want for a monthly membership!), super motivating, and one of the best workouts you’ll ever get.

Your first hot yoga class at Rebel Yoga and Pilates

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.
