“I did the restorative class and it was very nice and slow paced, holding poses for a few minutes.”
What's on offer
“They’ve thought of everything in the bathroom in terms of little amenities and I love that the lockers have little keys so you can lock up your phone for class!”
“I also love the workshops included in the membership.”

From the reviews
There is a real yoga community here. It's not gym yoga. It's so much better. The teachers, staff, and students are welcoming, not cliquey. They have all the formats, and yes, my favorite, hot Vinyasa flow, up to 105°. Restorative meditation is a close second!
I've been practicing yoga at YBD for years and it doesn't matter what day or time I come, it is a welcoming, friendly studio for everyone! YBD is not cliquey or unwelcoming and surely not hostile, it's the exact opposite.
Good first experience here. Looked up class times the day before and went in the next day to sign up. Simple process which takes 10 minutes of providing basic info and signing a waiver. I did get a free 2 week trial , and a free rental for a yoga mat for my first class.
Great studio. I love it. The yoga studios, different types of yoga classes different levels and different temperatures. I was welcomed warmly and have always had a great experience here. I love the locker rooms here. Great touch of classy and comfort.
Teacher training at Yoga by Degrees
Yoga by Degrees 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 Yoga by Degrees
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 to around ~105°F, 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.
