Good unless you need to go off the teachers scripted routine. Then they I intervene. I enjoyed this place for most of the year I was there. Many instructors were very nice and the space is clean. Near the end of my time there, however, multiple instructors started complaining mid-class that I needed to do what they were doing the whole time. Sometimes I didn't like a pose they were doing, or it was uncomfortable for me, so I would simply do other poses in those moments. The response was for instructors to interrupt lessons to tell me to stop and do what they were saying. Two times instructors came over and tried to physically change what I was doing. I should have left after the first time. At first I thought this was manageable: I started moving to the back of the room, and didn't go back to that instructor again. The second time, I spoke to one of the co-owners, who made a point to not only not apologize for anything or even acknowledge that what their employees did was wrong in any way. They tried to say without saying that I should follow what the instructor says at all times. I left after that. Very disappointed I lost my favorite hot yoga studio. But I don't want to pay for the privilege of being pushed around and touched without permission because a teacher is too insecure to tolerate one person not follow their every word. Edit: after reading the owner's scripted response to this review, I can see we agree on one thing: talking to them is a truly forgettable experience. I will take this wisdom to heart.

I can’t say enough good things about this studio. The owners are wonderful people, the instructors are high quality and it is extremely clean and thoughtfully cared for. Shout out to my favorite instructors: Majo, Heather, Lex, and Leah! 🫶🏻

I don’t even know where to begin. This studio has been a refuge to me. I have found a true yoga practice here. I don’t know where my mental health would be without the classes and teachers here. There’s more to say than I can type in a public review but I have so much gratitude for this place. The teachers at firelight are a cut above and I walk away from every single unique class having deepened my practice, my mind body connection and my presence in the moment. I always find hat I need here whether it’s a sweaty workout or mental clarity or a safe space of peace.

When I tell you, this is my favorite place to be - I actually consider this to be my third space. Walking in and just seeing everyone so excited and determined to crush their workout is so fun. It’s also so well lit, warm and cozy. I really appreciate getting to know the instructors after classes and just talking about the class itself and more about my journey and where I’d like to be/get from the material they’re teaching. If you are a BIPOC, they also have free Thursday evening 8pm classes as well - SO great to connect with more folk that are apart of the community and have a connection to wellness. If you are looking for a new studio - this is the place to join there’s a little something for everyone along with a wide range of times for numerous classes!

I can’t believe I’ve neglected to write a review for my home away from home. Several years ago I found myself in a familiar rut, and really needing a new outlet and expanded community. Years before I had tried hot yoga, and thought it wasn’t not for me. I’m so, so glad I opened myself up to it again because Firelight has been a grounding presence in my life ever since. I absolutely adore this studio and its genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The instructors are top notch, and you just get a good feeling about how they feel about being there. The owners clearly put a lot into building community with their members and instructors, and that trust between all of us makes me feel great about going back again and again. When I first started coming to the studio I was only really there in the cool months, but I’m now there year round. It’s actually a little quieter in the summer and you get to spread out a bit more in class. Cheers and thank you, Firelight Yoga!
