From the reviews

I was introduced to Spark Back in November 2018, and I have attended a class everyday sometimes 2 since then. Front desk staff always has a great attitude and are very welcoming. Instructors are AMAZING!!

Out of town drop in student for a flow with Meg, which was great. Catherine was super pleasant and check in was a breeze - she made sure I made the class. First for me at this studio is the ability to reserve a spot in the room. Haven’t made up my mind about it good or bad, but it is a feature that they offer.

★★★★★ — Ryan, Jul 2024

Spark is a great studio with excellent instructors. A nice welcoming vibe and classes that challenge you to be your best. The first class is free and after that the "newbie special," $30, 30 days was a great way to get started.

★★★★★ — Emily, Oct 2016

Everyone was so friendly and I felt very welcome!! I am a RYT and have been practicing yoga for almost 20 years, at a lot of different studios around the Bay Area and world, and I have to say that I have never felt more welcomed into a studio than I was into Spark on Monday—and it is hands down THE most important…

Teacher training at Spark

Spark 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 Spark

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.
