Twisted Hot Yoga

I’ve been going to the Hump Day Happy Hour classes and really enjoy them… so much so, that I’ve had three other people join me from work (and they’re repeaters now as well). I love the atmosphere, the instructor, and let’s not forget how amazing the lavender scented cold towel at the end of each class is! I absolutely recommend this studio if your looking to add hot yoga into your life… you won’t be disappointed (by the yoga or the studio)!

This is a welcoming and exciting environment! I took the Wednesday drop in class for $ 5 and plan on doing the 21 days for $ 21! Megan R. was my teacher and I plan on going to many more classes of hers! I learned a lot in her class, including yoga terms that she said as she was moving us into different poses. I could have kept my eyes closed the entire time because her directions were so clear. The heat is perfect and keeps your body warm and fired up the whole time. One of the best parts was at the end of the class there was a cold towel placed on my head that helped me relax and focus on shavasana. Can’t wait to go back!

I’m so excited about this place! I’ve been to eight classes on a pass for 21 days for $ 21!!!
Update: I bought a 100 class pack for the year and I’m so loving this place!
The classes I’ve been to are Heat, which is hot yoga where the room is 99 degrees, I’ve had two different instructors for this class and I can’t wait to go back. Sweet Heat is a class where it’s not as hot as Heat but it’s more about balance. Tonight, I went to Yoga with a kick, where the room is 75 – 80. And the class is a mix of yoga, kickboxing and stretching.
The instructors are all very professional, nice and there is a great variety on their teaching styles. The room is insulated very well and a noticeable difference between the classes. A nice thing at the end of the class they put a cold cloth on your forehead and it smells really good and helps relax at the end of a fantastic workout.
I leave this place feeling happy, energized and ready to take on the world.

I’m glad I purchased a Groupon to get a feel for their classes. I may be back if I want to mix up my normal routine but I’ll probably go to my other spot for actual yoga instruction.
Advertised as a hot yoga studio, they offer a variety of aerobic classes with a yoga twist (hence the name???) Right now they are offering «gloga» — yoga in the dark with glow sticks, kick boxing yoga, yoga with hand weights, and a more traditional yoga/​stretching class. After going to a few of their classes, I would describe what they offer as an aerobic– stretching/​yoga fusion workout.
They play fun, current upbeat music during the sessions. The space is simple workout studio painted in calming blue tones. All of the teachers were very friendly and each brought their own style of teaching to the class. With the exception of Laura’s class however, the teachers didn’t stress yoga form even how to get into a pose. It’s more about how it feels to you then the posture itself. I found the instruction from most of the teachers to be spoty probably because of this ‘go with the flow’ vibe. I had to rely on following other students to figure out what we were doing in class.
I tried one of the weights class. I liked the idea of it but as a rather uncoordinated person I found it awkward to use the weights with the moves. Others seemed to get the hang of it quicker and it was the most popular class I visited.
After going to other hot yoga studios I would describe Twisted Hot Yoga as warm but not hot. Oh and here’s a tip: the heat doesn’t circulate well so the back of the class is a good 10 degrees lower than the front. One day I purposefully sat in the back because I didn’t want to overdo it. teeheehee

Twisted Hot Yoga is such a great addition to the GR area! Ginya, the owner, has reached out the cancer community and have given discounted or free memberships! As a cancer patient this means the world to me!
The instructors are awesome… Very caring and really pay attention to your form!
Thank you Twisted Hot Yoga!
