About Us

Welcome to Hot & Healthy Yoga located in Camellia Parke Shopping Center of Olmsted Village in North Carolina.
Our mission is to bring you the very best in hot yoga instruction. We will be thorough with our explanations so that you will receive a safe and informed workout.
Hot yoga has been proven to promote weight loss, strengthen and tone muscles, relieve stress and improve posture and energy.
We offer a variety of classes for all levels. Whether you are a beginner or have been practicing for decades, we have a practice that will fit your body!
All of our teachers have, at a minimum, 200 hour certification from Yoga Alliance. Currently, both Laura and Virginia are working with Rolf Gates to complete their 500 hour certification. Paula and Virginia have received Level II/III Hot Vinyasa certification from Jimmy Barkan and Hot and Healthy is a Barkan affiliate yoga studio. Paula’s 200 hour certification was completed under the guidance of Cyndi Lee at Om Yoga. Virginia completed Charlotte Yoga’s RYT-200 Power Alignment Yoga Teacher Training Program, under the direction of Grace and MyLinda Morales. Laura completed her certification from Yoga One in Charlotte in the style of Baron Baptiste and Hot and Healthy is a Baptiste affiliate yoga studio. Rachel’s first teacher training experience was in Saint Louis, Missouri with Pamela Schulte who instructed the course through a strong foundation in the Ashtanga primary series. Since arriving to North Carolina, Rachael has completed her second Yoga teacher training program in Chapel Hill through Embodi Yoga with Lisa Clark, David Beadle and Julee Snyder with foundations in traditional Hatha and restorative Yoga.
Although there is no law dictating that yoga teachers are certified instructors, we believe that everyone who attends a practice at Hot & Healthy Yoga deserves a professional instructor who has been trained to teach yoga. Additionally, Yoga Alliance requires a certain amount of continuing education to maintain certification; therefore we are constantly improving our skills by attending workshops and retreats.
Perhaps the greatest skill we can apply to our teaching is our love of yoga. We truly believe that we are sharing a wonderful gift that will bring a lifetime of happiness to all of our students. Come and see us and let us share the gift with you!
Namaste, Laura, Paula, Virginia, Rachel, Mark and Suzie
