From the reviews

Ever since I first redeemed by Groupon a year ago, Torch has become my home away from home. Words cannot express how thankful I am to have made my way to Torch. Hot yoga at Torch is an experience in and of itself; challenging the mind, body, and spirit--leaving you feeling rejuvenated and alive.

There is a great culture here. The instructors are mindful to coach our minds as well as our bodies. Jessica has a great team. Love ❤️ the outdoor shower too! I love the positive vibe and the music each instructor selects. It's so fresh! Thank you Torch Yoga!

★★★★★ — Lisa, Sep 2019

This hot yoga studio is one of the best! The Virginia Beach and Norfolk locations are both great and unique in their own way. I love the hippie vibe at the Virginia Beach location. The studio is always hot, the best classes are the ones that mix mindfulness and intention with an intense flow.

Teacher training at Torch Yoga

Torch Yoga 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 Torch Yoga

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.
