From the reviews

The address on Google Places is incorrect. The new studio is at 1150 Pontiac Avenue (Rear), in Cranston. I have been taking yoga classes at Yoga Concepts (at their old location) for six years. I take Bikram classes around the country when I travel, and have also taken hot vinyassa classes.

Great yoga instruction in a first class studio. I’ve been practicing yoga under the direction of Mary Ann and Donna for several years and it has truly paid off.

You will learn more in a single class here than you may get anywhere else. This studio is state of the art and super clean. It encompasses the discipline and expertise of an authentic lineage with the comfort and hygiene of a modern spa. It's worth going out of your way for this place.

★★★★★ — Robin, Mar 2020

By far the best instruction I have ever had in 13 years of practice. Mary Ann and Donna are the best of the best. I wish I could practice with them every day. If you are new to yoga or a pro, this is the best studio in Rhode Island. Authentic and true Bikram yoga!

Your first hot yoga class at Yoga Concepts

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.

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.
