The styles they teach
“I mostly practice power flow, and I especially love Kelynn’s classes.”
“My favorite classes are Warm Yin with Kelynn and Hot Hamstrings, Hips, and Spines with Abby.”
“Power and hips/hamstring/spine classes are my favorite, but all classes seem beginner friendly and queue for intermediate/advanced progressions.”
What's on offer
“Oh, and a wonderful filtered water machine that delivers crisp cold water into your water bottle fast!”
What students say again and again
“If you’re coming to yoga for the first time—or coming to a new studio with anxiety—I truly believe that any nerves will dissolve within the first few minutes.”
“This studio is an authentic hot yoga experience with amazing instructors who respect the practice.”
“The community they’ve built is warm, welcoming, and truly supportive—whether you’re new to yoga or have been practicing for a long time.”
“It’s such a welcoming, calming space and truly feels like a little reset every time I walk in.”
“I have never been to a class or gym that's been so devoted to the real effort of transformation physical movement can bring to the heart.”
From the reviews
The energy of the studio is always inviting and upbeat! My favorite classes are Warm Yin with Kelynn and Hot Hamstrings, Hips, and Spines with Abby. Yin is a perfect way to end the week after my long runs on Sundays.
I can’t say enough good things about this yoga studio. I’ve had a monthly membership for about the past two years. I love the variety of classes, the supportive atmosphere, and the obvious technical knowledge the instructors have. This is a real yoga studio.
I absolutely love Rising Sol! I've taken the Hot Hamstrings, Hips & Spines class and it challenges me in the best possible way. It's intense, but in a rewarding way. I always leave feeling stronger, more open, and incredibly accomplished. The heat in the studio feels like a deep, full body cleanse.
Rising Sol has absolutely transformed my yoga practice. I’m so grateful to have such an incredible studio within walking distance in my neighborhood! All the teachers are amazingly kind, smart, thoughtful, and talented. I have learned so much here, not least of which how much more I have to learn and grow!
Teacher training at Rising Sol Hot Yoga
Rising Sol Hot 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 Rising Sol 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; 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.
