The styles they teach
“The hot flow is a good blend of building heat and strength while also letting you decompress and release any stress you're holding on to.”
“Lastly, if you’re new to being part of an exercise class (be it yoga/barre/cardio), just know that the Yoba instructors create a safe and welcoming space.”

From the reviews
Really split on my thoughts about YoBa - on one hand, I've loved all the classes I've taken there and all the instructors are fantastic. I discovered YoBa during the pandemic through Classpass when I was looking to get back into a workout routine and it was definitely my favorite yoga studio in Raleigh that I tried.
I cannot say enough good things about YoBa Studio! I have been a member for about a year or so now and I always leave class feeling motivated, uplifted, and grateful. I've never been a fan of cardio, and repeatedly going to the gym and doing the same routine felt like a punishment.
The vibe and classes have been great for my mental health and postpartum journey since having my 2 babies. Classes typically are at good pace and I can always modify down so I still get a good work out in.
I have been to many Yoga studios in the area, this is one of two that I have liked in YEARS. It is difficult to find a space that is truly inclusive and make you feel like you belong. A lot of yoga studios say they are inclusive but you go there and feel like a misfit.
Teacher training at YoBa Studio (QC) - Yoga, Barre, Strength & Cardio
YoBa Studio (QC) - Yoga, Barre, Strength & Cardio 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 YoBa Studio (QC) - Yoga, Barre, Strength & Cardio
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.
