I absolutely love this studio, the practice and the instructors.
I used to practice yoga regularly, but had neglected my practice for a while and had never tried any form of hot yoga. But this past holiday season, on one of those days where you're running errands and you can feel the cranky stress of a lot of people you come across, I happened to drive by the BYT as it is right by my house. A class had just let out and the most radiant, happy and healthy looking people emerged from the building- a stark contrast to what I had been encountering all day. I thought to myself: I want what they're having!
So I recently purchased a groupon to try it out and I am hooked already and am purchasing a membership to continue this goodness. I feel incredibly energized, my skin feels amazing and I have shed several pounds already, but most of all my body and whole self just feels really good.
I had heard from a number of friends that it is a super dogmatic practice with ridiculous antics and so on. This has not been my experience at BYT, where the staff immediately remembered who I am, are so warm, friendly and encouraging and are always available for pointers if you need them. Michelle who does the 9am class is fantastic and makes the practice not feel intimidating while still encouraging you to push yourself.
I certainly recommend this place to anyone looking to boost their energy and feel better overall while in the company of people with really good energy.
