From the reviews

I cannot recommend Soulmat enough! Kensie makes it incredibly welcoming and accepting of all levels, even absolute beginners. The studio has a intimate setting that makes you feel comfortable and right at home.

★★★★★ — Jolene, Apr 2026

As a first-timer to yoga, SoulMat Flow was the perfect class for me! Kensie was so accommodating, and made me feel so comfortable! She was so knowledgeable and took the time to explain the poses, and give options for modifications throughout the class to ensure we were getting the most out of it!

★★★★★ — Makayla, Feb 2026

I’ve been coming to Soul Mat Studio for heated & red light yoga classes for a few months now and I have been obsessed! As a beginner in yoga Kensie is an amazing instructor helping through the class, and provides a warm and welcoming environment. Her space is so relaxing and comfortable.

Your first hot yoga class at Soulmat Studio

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.
