From the reviews

I am a big fan of the power vinyasa and weights/cardio type of classes; a really good work out. They give you so much attention (they ask if you’re cool with it first, they’ll leave you alone if you don’t like being touched or corrected) but it’s practically like having personal trainers.

★★★★★ — Nicole, Dec 2022

I have been a community member and teacher at a number of yoga studios in RI & MA and it NEEDS to be said that West Side Yoga is by far one of the most welcoming, professional and supportive studios I have ever had the pleasure of entering.

★★★★★ — Rachel, Aug 2023

I absolutely love this studio! The teachers, staff, and owners are extremely friendly and welcoming and there is a unique focus on community building. When it comes to the yoga, the caliber of the classes is unlike any other place I’ve been (this includes studios in much larger cities).

★★★★★ — Alice, Aug 2023

*West Side Yoga or nowhere* I can't thank this place enough for the incredible experience I've had. Walking through their doors felt like entering a world of tranquility and positivity. The instructors are not only knowledgeable but also radiate a genuine passion for yoga that's truly inspiring.

Your first hot yoga class at West Side 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 (or rent them here), 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.
