From the reviews

This is the perfect place for hot yoga/pilate lovers. The facility is clean. The staff are super friendly and truly passionate about yoga. The classes are challenging but exhilarating. I have been wishing for a yoga studio to open up in bay ridge. Furnace had fulfilled my dreams and beyond.

★★★★★ — Dong, Jan 2025

I tried out a class in March 2025 and ultimately have become a member. It was the best health decision I ever made. The classes are fun and invigorating. Yes, you will come out of the room very sweaty and felt like you've conquered it all. There is no judgement when you're taking class. Your only focus is on yourself.

★★★★★ — K, Dec 2025

Totally awesome!! Great mix of Pilates, yoga, and strength training classes to choose from. Really the only studio within miles and miles offering the type of fitness they do. Classes are fun and challenging; instructors are motivational. Offer classes at all sorts of times during the day. Honestly can’t get enough.

★★★★★ — Carolyn, Jan 2026

This is a wonderful yoga studio with professional instructors who radiate positive energy. The wide variety of classes has greatly improved my flexibility, and the students are friendly and welcoming. It’s a great place to practice yoga and feel good both physically and mentally.

Teacher training at The Furnace - Hot Yoga & Pilates

The Furnace - Hot Yoga & Pilates 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 The Furnace - Hot Yoga & Pilates

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.
