From the reviews

I have attended classes regularly at this studio since July of 2016, not long after a physical therapist told me I could fix my lower back issues by making yoga my “number one priority.” At the time, I had been attending various beginner yoga classes at the YMCA for a year or so, but my lower back problems persisted.

This studio has been life changing. I dropped in having never taken a real yoga class about 5 months ago. I instantly felt at home, and know I would be spending a lot more time here. Since then I have become a member at the studio and have grown to love my teachers, and the other students here.

★★★★★ — Daniel, Nov 2015

I loved yoga classes that I attended in Mobile but when I moved back to Birmingham, I couldn't find my yoga "home" until I came to Kiva. The truly do a phenomenal job. The instructors are great at encouraging you and they really seem to care about your health and well being.

★★★★★ — Shannon, Feb 2020

I love Rise and Refine Hot Yoga. It is beautiful, very clean and everyone who works here is super kind and welcoming. When I first came I had never done yoga before. The teachers were very friendly and helped me a ton! It is an amazing workout and now I'm addicted.

Your first hot yoga class at Rise and Refine Hot 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 — 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.

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.
