From the reviews

Fantastic Studios at Lakewood Ranch and Tamiami Trail. Marina is the Best Yogini you will ever encounter! She is a superb teacher, an expert, that is patient & kind. Plus she closely watches with added personal instruction as needed.

★★★★★ — Paul, Mar 2019

Marina's style of facilitating the postures gives greater access to the core value in each posture, and as someone who has been practicing Bikram postures for over 10 years, it was as if Bikram had just shifted to a whole new realm for me!

★★★★★ — Carrie, Apr 2022

Exceptional Instruction ➡️ Proper Postures➡️ yields an awakened body…sore, yet energized. This studio is a cut above - sophisticated in style, clean and trendy. The vibe…positive and warm, welcoming and friendly. The Bikram classes drew me in but Thavma Red keeps me coming back, and more importantly, keeps me sore!

★★★★★ — V, Dec 2022

I just completed Marina's teacher training at Thavma Yoga, and it was a great experience! Highly recommended. My goal was/is not to become a teacher, but rather to improve my practice. The class met my expectations and took my yoga to a new level in just a few months.

Teacher training at ThaVma Yoga Sarasota

ThaVma Yoga Sarasota 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 ThaVma Yoga Sarasota

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 to around ~104°F, 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.
