WHAT A GREAT FEELING! I came to class in a frazzled huff. My mind wasn't ready. My body didn't feel ready. But when I entered the hot room, that outer layer of doubt melted away. Hilary led us through the series and I found my body cooperating and then leveling up to my mood, which was improving with each droplet of sweat, each millimeter of flexibility. I've been a member for over 12 years and still, each class I take offers me something new.
This yoga is one of the most satisfying experiences for me and I would say to anyone who might be on the fence about coming to class: COME TO CLASS! You will feel better than you imagined once it's done and you'll come back for more. Thank you PHYSTL!

I have come back to this studio during many different season and I always feel welcomed, supported, and energized during my experiences. I appreciate the ways they support me to take care of my physical health, while remembering how important my mental and emotional health is as well. It truly is a place for me to sweat out life stresses, practice de-escalating my nervous system, and come back to the center of myself. thank you to all the team members at Pure Hot Yoga!

OMG this place. Even when it's hard, it's awesome. Such an amazing community. Great vibe, really supportive, and the instructors are so knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and fun. Anytime I leave town, this--yes THIS--is what I miss most. Once you start, you'll never want to skip a day.
