We play music that’ll make you want to move. And because we know you’re busy, we’ll get you stretching, sweating and back out the door in just 60 minutes. (Unless you need to hop in the shower, in which case you’re welcome to use our beautiful facilities.) Whether you’ve practiced 2 times or 2,000, we’ll keep you challenged and having fun.

Always hot, always open level, always fun. That’s YogaSpark.
It’s not yoga for beginners, but beginners can do it. Trust us! We offer modifications and amplifications to suit all levels of experience. A lot of people think that hot yoga is “harder” than other yoga or other forms of exercise. We actually think it’s easier, because the heat generally makes you more flexible. If you have never done yoga before, it might take you a few classes to feel like you’ve got the hang of it. Just bring a positive attitude, and remember to breathe!
Getting Ready To Get Sweaty:
How to prepare for class? Make sure you have a good yoga mat, grippy towel, and plenty of water. Make sure you are wearing clothes that you can move and sweat in easily. And if you happen to be practicing in our studios, we offer all of the above for sale. Most importantly, make sure you come to your mat with an open mind and are ready for a challenge!
Sweatiquette
At YogaSpark there are certain things we feel are important – ultimately boiling down to respect for the room, your instructor and your fellow yogis. We call this The Sweatiquette. Collectively abiding by these guidelines is part of what makes our community so awesome.
Patience.
When you get here, breathe, yogis! We aim to get you in the hot room as fast as possible, so wait patiently. You can help by making sure you arrive with plenty of time to transact, change, and chill before class starts.
Process.
Book a class online and check in when you get here. This will ensure you have a spot in class and that everyone gets a cold tea tree savasana towel. If you don’t know what that is, you’re in for a treat.
Purity.
The hot room is a haven – free from distraction, clutter and pollution. To that end, please leave your bags and cell phones in the locker room unless you have an emergency. Also, clean sweat is the best kind, so please shower before class. Last, we recommend washing your hot yoga clothes on extra hot / sanitary cycles.
Peace.
Yes, we are all BFFs, and we couldn’t be more excited about the enthusiasm that you bring to our studio every day! Our instructors work very hard to design sequences, playlists, and dialogues that are meant to take you on a fully immersive journey. So please reserve the chatter for before and after class. Also, breathing is beautiful - but please keep extra loud noises to yourself.
Play. Have fun, smile and enjoy. It’s just yoga.
Booking & Waitlisting
We cap all classes at a reasonable number of yogis such that everyone has room to bend and breathe. If the class you want is available on the app/online, book it! If there aren’t any spots left, put your name on the waitlist (see below).
If a class is full, or you didn’t make it into the class from the waitlist, you’re welcome to swing by, since any unclaimed spots will be given away when each class starts.
You should still check into class at the front desk when you arrive at the studio.
Canceling
If you’re signed up for a class and need to cancel, do so 12 hours before the class starts. Otherwise, you’re a no show.
If you’re a no show, your series will still be charged for a class. If you have an unlimited membership, you'll be charged a $10 no show fee.
Running Late
If you’re signed up for class but are running late, please call your local studio no later than 5 minutes before class start time so we can make sure to hold your spot. Calls will be answered in the 30 mins before class starts. Do not leave a voicemail; do not email. If there is a waitlist and we have not heard from you by 5 minutes before class start time, your spot will be given away. Doors may lock 5 minutes after class start time.
Waitlisting
If you put your name on the waitlist and a spot opens up 12 hours before class start time, you’ll get an email and/or text.
If you no longer can attend class, make sure to cancel before the 12 hour mark. We assume that if you’re on the waitlist 12 hours before a class starts and get into that class, you’re coming.
The Instructors
We have kickass instructors.
They bring energy, enthusiasm, and breadth of knowledge and compassion to the studio on a daily basis. They can connect with a variety of experience levels simultaneously. While they’re each really special and hail from different yoga lineages, they are all here because they love teaching hot power yoga - with a Spark.
One of the measures of our success is getting students committed to and excited about their health, their well-being and their practice. And getting all this through themselves and not one particular teacher. We believe that variety is an integral part of yoga. As is going to your edge and getting outside of your comfort zone. We think you should be able to come to class as often as your schedule allows.
YogaSpark is a place where instructors teach from their heart. Yoga is not about competition - with yourself or anyone else. It’s about loving and appreciating your journey. Our instructors get that it’s not about them; it’s about you. They love helping you challenge yourself and fully embrace every moment of your journey.
We want you to be empowered and blown away by YOU.
So we encourage you to take class from a variety of our instructors, and challenge yourself to always be learning and growing as a yogi and human. We love that you fall in love with our teachers, but we also believe that the best teacher is the one which resides within each of us. Ultimately, yoga helps us to love ourselves.
Because of all of this, we don’t publish teacher schedules. They change and evolve organically and somewhat randomly. We love that you fall in love with our teachers, but we also believe that the best teacher is the one which resides within each of us. Ultimately, yoga helps us to love ourselves.

A Note from Lauren
I started YogaSpark because I yearned for a yoga studio that offered an amazing fitness experience, in a super fun, upbeat environment. In other words, I did it for me and I did it for the workout. Within a few months of opening, I realized something more was going on. We were creating a community. We were bringing yoga to many who might not have ever tried it. We were improving and changing lives! And slowly the mission became a less selfish one: to spread the Spark to more people. So here we go.
My heart is full of gratitude for all of these blessings: my talented and dedicated instructors who are always evolving so that we can, the yogis who grace us with their energy and spunk every day, those I’ve trained with whose teachings are so powerful and timeless that they resonate with me daily, my lululemon family, and my corporate and entrepreneurial pasts that were indeed all part of the journey...
...and most importantly, my wonderful husband and sons, who are my inspiration for everything.
See you on the mat.
