We offer the best in hot yoga, meditation, and wellness programming.

But what we're really offering is a place to belong.

Our philosophy

We’re here to come alive together.

Most people don't come to yoga looking for enlightenment. They come because they're stressed. Tired. Stiff. Overwhelmed. Disconnected from their bodies. Disconnected from themselves.

That's why we believe yoga is about more than flexibility or fitness. It's a practice of remembering and reconnecting with yourself.

Our studio is grounded on a whole-person model, designed to help you build a stronger body, a steadier mind, and a deeper sense of connection—to yourself and to the community around you.

Featured classes

  • Original Hot Yoga

    This classic 90-minute heated practice features the original sequence of 26 postures designed to build strength, flexibility, balance, and resilience. Rooted in the Ghosh lineage, this time-tested practice welcomes all levels—from first-time students to experienced yogis. This practice has changed lives for decades. Come find out why.

  • Yoga Nidra

    Your nervous system has been waiting for this. Yoga Nidra is a powerful, accessible form of meditation. Benefits are wide-ranging and well-documented: reduced chronic pain, improved sleep, relief from anxiety and depression, and stronger emotional self-regulation. The rest your body has been asking for, the quiet your mind has needed.

  • Sculpt Fitness

    Get ready to feel every muscle working. Sculpt Fitness pairs yoga-based movement with strength training — bodyweight exercises, light weights, isometric holds, and resistance work — on a yoga and Pilates-informed foundation, with calisthenics woven in. This is not a generic workout dressed up in yoga clothes. Come ready to work. Leave feeling like you earned it.

  • Power Vinyasa

    A dynamic heated flow that links breath with movement, creating a practice that is both energizing and grounding. Build strength, balance, flexibility, and focus through purposeful sequences designed to challenge the body while calming the mind. Whether you're new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, this practice meets you where you are.

  • Yin Yoga

    A slow, meditative practice that targets the body's deeper connective tissues through long, supported holds. Improve mobility, release tension, and cultivate calm as you settle into stillness and allow time and gravity to do the work. Ideal for anyone seeking greater flexibility, recovery, and peace of mind.



  • The Next Series

    Created by co-founder Audrey Benton, The Next Series builds on the foundation of Original Hot Yoga with a challenging and rewarding practice rooted in the Ghosh tradition. Expect dynamic standing work, deeper floor postures, and opportunities to expand your strength, mobility, and understanding of the practice.


  • Breath Core Yoga

    A unique practice that connects breath, core strength, and nervous system regulation. Through intentional breathing techniques and mindful movement, you'll develop stability, body awareness, and inner calm. The skills cultivated here support every other yoga practice—and everyday life.



  • Hot Yoga in Flow

    A fast-paced heated practice that links familiar hot yoga postures into a continuous flow. Build cardiovascular endurance, strength, and focus while moving with breath and momentum. Perfect for students who love the heat and want a more energetic experience.
