From the reviews
I love this place! The decor is so warm and inviting and truly feels like a safe space. I took a Vin/Yin class with Corey and it was the perfect mix of active movement and then relaxed poses. She offered lots of modifications throughout the class and made it feel like a nonjudgemental and body positive place.
I used to take classes w/ Adrian since before he and the team started the Yoga Dojo. This first time I came into the studio I was smiling so wide. The beautiful space/lotus mural, the amazing teachers (Carlina, Olivia and Samantha - ya'll rule) and the focus on inversions make this a top notch studio.
After having tried several beginner classes - and feeling like yoga wasn't going to be for me - my husband and I decided to try private lessons. After doing some searching, I connected with The Yoga Dojo - and I'm so glad I did! Our instructor, Meg, has been wonderful.
I was very happy to find Yoga Dojo. The studio is very inviting and relaxing. Meg is an amazing instructor. She helps with proper positioning and always has a great variety to her class. I love her vibe and how I feel afterwards...I have found my new yoga home!
Teacher training at The Yoga Dojo
The Yoga Dojo 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 Yoga Dojo
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.
