From the reviews
* tl;dr: This place is dope. This is a dope spot if you're looking to give yoga a try. If you're worried about the heat of the hot classes you have the option of warm classes. Most of the teachers/guides lead the classes differently, so you have your choice of how you want to practice.
I’ve been coming here about 10 months and it’s really grown my love for yoga and practicing. Most of the teachers are so welcoming and provide great instruction. However, I do notice as a woman of color a clear difference in how I’m greeted by certain workers (if at all).
When 1st moving to VA Beach I was very timid try something new in a studio like this... I had never tried "hot" and had limited yoga experience. However I thought let's give it a try if I hate it or feel uncomfortable I just won't go back...
I have been a long time member of zen hot yoga. On and off through the years. The annual membership is worth it. Each time I return, everyone, staff and fellow yogis, welcome me with so much warmth, it feels like home. There’s something for every one. There’s a variety of instructors and classes to choose from.
Teacher training at Zen Hot Yoga
Zen Hot 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 Zen Hot 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.
