Clean and welcoming environment! I have done yoga for 10 years now and always hated hot yoga but CHY has completely changed that for me! I LOVE hot yoga now. Instructors are amazing and will provide great modifications to intensify or scale down the movements. And I love how there’s mirrors! It helps so much with making sure you have proper positioning.

I have been having a great experience at Chesapeake Hot Yoga during my trial week. Staff and instructors are friendly and helpful. I appreciate how easy it is to sign up for classes online. I've taken the Hot Vinyasa, Light and Warm , and NuPower class. I recommend them all! Each class allows you to explore and enrich your skills. I'm more aware of my breathing and stretch abilities just by going to 3 classes so far. I have also been so grateful for the reasonable prices. Place is organized and clean, they have organization down to a science with specific places for blocks, weights, cubbies for yoga students, a labeled laundry bin etc. Inside the yoga room you will find a relaxing environment that honors everyone's needs and space. I was nervous my first class, but warmed up really quick because it feels safe and comfortable there. The instructors are really supportive. Music is perfect for the ambience. I am hooked and want to be there everyday. I will definitely be here more regularly! Great place to learn and practice yoga!

Hot yoga was an incredible experience!!! I've done yoga a couple of times in the past but never thought I would experience hot yoga so when my friend asked if I wanted to attend a session, I was all for it. Chesapeake Hot Yoga is located right off of Kempsville Rd. and since they are located in a plaza, there's plenty of parking which was nice. Our session started at 6:15pm so we all arrived a few minutes prior in order to check in and get set up for our 75 minute session. Once we put our belongings away, we entered the yoga room and it was pretty warm but bearable. The room was large and spacious so we were all able to spread out and have plenty of room to exercise. We brought our own yoga mats but towels were provided and I'm so glad they were. The more movements we made, the more I sweat. I was drenched from head to toe once it was over and my yoga mat was soaked by the end of the session lol. Thankfully, we were given a cold towel that was lavender scented to place on our heads to cool us down and it felt great. Overall, as intense as the warm temperatures were in the room, I would return in a heartbeat. Our instructor, Kali, was absolutely awesome. She was very patient and allowed us to go at our own pace. I love doing yoga and I highly recommend everyone give hot yoga a try, at least once.

CHY has literally cured my back pains. All the yoga instructors are very knowledgeable and welcoming. Bri is the most amazing person you will ever meet and is very passionate about helping anyone who walks in. If you haven’t tried it do yourself a favor and take a class!

Been going there whenever I get the chance when I'm in town. Fantastic classes, great teachers. I've taken their hot classes, light & warm, and candle lit classes. I always leave feeling fantastic. They always offer and encourage to modify for your own body and experience, which I appreciate. Highly recommended!

So grateful to Briana Ward for keeping the doors of Chesapeake Hot Yoga (CHY) open through the pandemic, I’m sure it wasn’t easy, many studios have closed as a result. I’m so very fortunate to have the CHY community just 3.4 miles up the road.I could literally FEEL the difference in my body and mind after the first class, antidepressants don’t work this fast if ever. The studio is so clean, there are several air purifiers and the prop room has UV lights for sanitization.And then there’s Emily Thompson and her Candlelight Flow which is a GAME CHANGER! This was absolutely the best 75 minutes I’ve had in recent memory! The class was well-sequenced and very thorough — we spent a good amount of time on our back before moving on to seated postures which prepared us so well for the standing poses. Emily gave excellent cues “halfway lift, head above heart” and “ensure your foundation” (then add arms); her class was body/mind centric. I am so very fulfilled after this gem of class. Emily is a rare human and teacher, yoga is her gift, her heart, and it’s palpable.

You can’t have a sign outside saying hot yoga and then it’s not even hot, like not even warm.And while I don’t like overall peppy people, the front desk people working the few times I went seemed miserable.Pros: it was quiet and spacious, not pretentious

Can't say enough about the entire team and all of the clients. The facility is clean and tidy. I needed something new to help bridge mind and body - everyone has been welcoming, encouraging, non-judgemental from the start. Love my new yoga practice and couldn't do it without CHY!!!
