From the reviews

I joined Up Yoga a year ago, and it’s been my favorite yoga studio in the twin cities so far! The instructors are what makes this place so amazing. They are kind, compassionate, creative within the practice, and incredibly knowledgeable.

★★★★★ — Megan, Jan 2025

I love Up Yoga in Minneapolis! Every time I come to Up, I feel like I am exactly where I need to be. 💜💜 Thank you for that! 🤗 So far, I’ve taken classes led by Jes Stulc, Kelsey Potts and Lindsay Grabb — all amazing humans — and I’ve loved every class.

★★★★★ — Valerie, Jan 2024

Such a strong community. Powerful, hot classes. The assists are some of the best I’ve ever received in any yoga class I’ve ever taken. The space is gorgeous, and the instructors are all so welcoming and grateful.

★★★★★ — Brandon, Oct 2019

I found this yoga studio by recommendation of a friend, and got a great deal on a 2-week class package (was 14 days for $14... what?!!) I had never experienced a deal that good in a yoga studio before, so immediately I appreciated the intention of the studio to provide access to yoga in the community- even if just for…

Teacher training at Up Yoga

Up 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 Up 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.
