The Hot Yoga Spot

You may know the 26 postures, but how well do you know the practice behind them?

Our upcoming Hot 26/Bikram Immersion is an opportunity to rediscover this sequence through both traditional teachings and modern awareness.

Over four days of in-person instruction, we'll break down the practice through posture clinics, alignment, anatomy, safe modifications, sequencing, cueing and instruction, while also exploring the history and philosophy of the lineage.

Whether your goal is to begin teaching Hot 26 or simply become a more knowledgeable and intentional instructor, this 30-hour training is designed to help you take the next step.

🔥 October 17 & 18 + November 7 & 8
🔥 9:00 AM–6:00 PM
🔥 $600 | $150 deposit

Open to 200-hour certified instructors and those with instructor approval. Virtual options will be available as needed.

Registration is now open!

Wake up in the Algarve. Move your body. Spend the day surrounded by dramatic cliffs, beautiful beaches, incredible food, and some of the most breathtaking coastline in Portugal.

What a meaningful few weeks of movement, mindfulness, creativity, and community.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Mending Through Motion and Meditative Arts at The Hot Yoga Spot.

Together, we slowed down and made space to reconnect through gentle yoga, guided meditation, and mindful sashiko stitching, all while contributing to a collaborative cloth mural centered around healing and community.

We’re so grateful to everyone who showed up, participated, created, and shared in this experience with us.

And a special thank you to The Arts Center of the Capital Region, the New York State Council on the Arts, the Office of the Governor, and the New York State Legislature for helping make this program possible.

What if one weekend could give you an entirely new way to move, teach, and connect with your students?

The BarreFlow Instructor Certification is coming September 19 & 20!

Over two days, you’ll learn how to create thoughtful, effective barre classes that combine strength, posture, balance, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, body awareness, and mind-body connection.

But one of our favorite parts of this training? You’ll actually teach.

BarreFlow believes the best way to learn how to lead a class is by getting up and doing it. Depending on the size of the group, participants will have the opportunity to teach 1–4 times throughout the weekend while developing their cueing, coaching, choreography, and programming skills.

Whether you’re already an instructor looking to expand what you offer or you’re ready to take your first step toward teaching, this weekend is designed to help you leave feeling prepared and confident.

📅 September 19 & 20
✨ 2-day / 12-hour certification
💸 The Hot Yoga Spot students save $50 with code THYS

Come learn, practice, teach, and add something new to your skill set.
