Classes at Yoga Spot aren't quite like those found at any other yoga studio. That's because they were specifically developed by studio founder Sumits Banerjee. His classes act as an amalgam of two popular styles, fusing the heat of Bikram yoga with the fluid postures of the Ashtanga tradition. The signature class steers students through deep stretches performed in a toasty studio. As they flow from pose to pose, aided by the heat, students hone both balance and strength while calming the mind.

Though practitioners champion the physical benefits of the practice—muscle toning and detoxification chief among them—the true object of the style is “the simple pleasure and self-reward that comes from quieting our minds." To honor this, instructors emphasize introspection and spiritual awareness over perfect technique, allowing guests of any experience level to participate.
