Have you ever wondered what a 90-minute Bikram class looks like sped up?

✨ The goal isn’t to perfect any posture — it’s to meet yourself exactly where you are. 💗

Every class feels different. Every breath, every drop of sweat, every moment on your mat teaches you something new.

Can you quiet your mind, leave life at the door, and surrender to your practice?

Come experience 26&2 with us — your body and soul will thank you. 💦🔥

🔥 26&2 — It’s More Than a Class, It’s a Transformation

There’s something about stepping into that 105° room — the moment your mat hits the floor, the world outside fades. 26&2 isn’t just about flexibility or sweat; it’s about discipline, breath, and the quiet strength that builds from the inside out.

At Hot Yoga Baltimore, it’s more than a workout — it’s a community. Every class is led by passionate, knowledgeable teachers who guide you with intention, humor, and heart. You’ll find encouragement when you need it most, laughter when you least expect it, and people who show up for themselves — and for each other.

Come for the heat, stay for the energy, and leave feeling stronger, calmer, and more connected — mind, body, and soul. ✨

As we strive to be a safe haven for everyone, we need to be flexible and pivot how we do things from time to time.

You will notice a sign to the yoga room asking you to please be quiet once inside. We are transitioning to a more reflective time of year and want to give everyone the space to prepare for their class in silence if needed.

Community is essential, so we encourage you to still chat in the lobby and locker rooms. Please remember to keep your conversations kind and supportive, being mindful of how your words may affect those around you.

We are grateful to have such a diverse community. We won't agree with everyone but perhaps with an open mind, we may see things from another's perspective.

We are grateful for each and every soul who joins us whether it's just for a day passing through town or has been a life-long member.

Together we can rise.

Divided we will fall.

Are you looking to feel better, be healthier and join a friendly, supportive community? Then sign up today at Hot Yoga Baltimore! We are a locally and woman owned small business committed to providing outstanding service, individualized attention and bringing people together whether you are in the s...

Where are they now??

Catch up with Shannon!

This busy mom of 3, full-time teacher and swim coach somehow still makes time for Hot Pilates and Bikram Yoga! As the saying goes, we make time for what's important. Shannon's one of those naturally flexible people, so she LOVES complimenting her practice with the extra strength she builds in Hot Pilates/Plyoga. Few people are as outspoken as Shannon is for her love of our studio and community. Read more in her own words..

"My hot yoga journey started in 2007 and has been a huge part of my life ever since. While I took some breaks here and there, this practice has been the most consistent workout that I have committed to over the years and I absolutely love it.

I have had three pregnancies during my time practicing hot yoga; my last one was shortly after Lynne's studio opened in 2017. My kids are now 7, 10, and 12 and they love learning the postures I do. Having three kids playing five to six sports makes it challenging to get to practice as much as I would like, but it is the one thing I am determined to do whenever I can. I am lucky to have a supportive, handsome husband who helps me juggle all the kids' activities so I can get my practice in. The studio and the teachers are also understanding with my busy schedule.

I was always hardcore hot yoga with the 26 postures, until last year when another student said she was sore from the hot pilates class. My ears perked and, shortly after, I took Christina's Hot Pilates class. I was immediately sold! I have since taken Gavin and Jessi's pilates classes and love them just as much. Taking both yoga and pilates together is the perfect balance for my body, mind, and soul.

I feel such a strong sense of community at Hot Yoga Baltimore. It's a place where I feel as though I can be my true self. I have made lifelong friends there and the peace I find is so fulfilling. While Lynne and Kyle have been a part of my journey since 2007 and I love them dearly, every instructor at the studio is incredible."

In another episode of “Where are they now?”, we catch up with former student of the month, Dave.

As the years tick on, Dave has encountered some health issues, but his determination and steadfast nature has continued bringing him to his mat day after day. While he uses a chair for some assistance with balance, his form, focus and postures are to be recognized and applauded! It’s easy for some to come to class and turn on autopilot. For Dave, it’s essential to be completely focused and present to the moment. Read more in his words about how his yoga practice continues to progress and help in his everyday life.

““Choosing comfort over climbing a mountain is all too common in our society. When done over a long period of time and consistently, this class isn't just climbing one mountain once. It's tackling small hills day in and day out…”

A Quote from our studio’s owner and longtime instructor from her introduction to my first Student of the Month selection and honor a few years back. I am once again humbled by being highlighted in the “Where are they now” SOTM series.

Well, I am right here, in the studio, 5 days a week now that I have “time on my hands”. A brief recap: I began practicing Bikram Yoga, somewhat reluctantly, when it was suggested by my wife and daughter in 2009. My practice over the years was on and off, as many others have been, and I struggled with the heat and all the other psychological challenges of most students. But I continued, and little by little the heat became my friend, and I learned how to get my ego out of the way, and actually listen to the words of the dialogue spoken by the teacher(s).

It was a slow process and after many years, I found how to make my practice, my own; moving to the “fullest extent” of MY capabilities in each of the postures. It wasn’t my ego’s competition with the person next to me, or behind me, or someone new in the class. But my willingness to let go of ego, and actually DO what had been instructed to do over the years…only the best I could at that moment in time. I think the biggest challenge for me was letting go of what I did the time before, and taking each day for its own.

Bikram Yoga’s 90-minute moving meditation was instrumental in helping me be in the moment. Not only critical to my practice, but to everyday life.
So, here I am today, a few years later, now retired and taking the opportunity to practice 5 days a week. Those “small hills day in and day out” have actually become huge mountains in my life, as I have since diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, vertigo, and now prostate cancer. I am grateful that my MS diagnosis is of the relapse-remit type (and not a secondary or primary progressive). My daily practice has strengthened me both physically and mentally, and has improved my balance.

Pause here for a great shout out to the instructors at Hot Yoga Baltimore for their expert assistance in posture modifications, suggestions, and even the use of a chair (by my side) for me to catch myself when the balance isn’t quite there! Their coaching, corrections and encouragement has helped me to get the most out of every single one of those 90 minutes! Thank you ALL!!!

I am also fortunate and grateful that my cancer was found in its early stages, and the prognosis is good with the upcoming surgery. Yoga in combination with daily walking, jogging and weights have put me in the strongest position going into the surgery, and hopefully will aid in a swift recovery so that I can “get back in the room” quickly, to continue my work on the long game, MS.
The Hot Yoga Baltimore community of practitioners is a tight knight group, ever welcoming to the new-comer, and reliably there for the long time “friends”. We care about each other, that’s what this practice does for us!

Lynne’s offer for this SOTM check-in is timely as there have been significant changes over the past couple of years, and the ability count on practicing at Lynne’s Hot Yoga Baltimore studio has been a cornerstone in my health; physical, mental and emotional. So, after a brief (I hope!) recovery, I will continue attacking those small hills, creating mountains of health and well-being!

Thank you, Lynne, all the instructors and all those who keep the Hot Yoga Baltimore studio a continued place of community and well-being!
I am once again, gratefully honored to share my story.”

Meet our September Student of the Month, Roasamaria!

In this second installment of "where are they now?", we catch up with our Queen, Rosamaria. Once upon a time, she would tell us daily "I can't do that" or exclaim "Aye Yai Yai". Not anymore! While these days she sits in a chair for some of her postures, she's still walking around town and not pushed around in a wheelchair. We all can have excuses why we can't do something. Let Rosamaria's testimony be a reason why you can do anything!

"My yoga journey began eight years ago when I was 73 years old. I never imagined I would be able to stay for 90 minutes doing exercise in that heat, but I impressed myself by doing the full class. Over the years, I have grown in my practice through the guidance of many amazing instructors that helped me understand my own body, my abilities and also my restrictions and limits. They always encourage us to do better and tell us that there is always room for improvement. This philosophy has stayed in my mind and encourages me to do better every time, not only in the studio but in my personal life as well.

Now at 81, yoga has become an integral part of my daily routine. In the past 8 years I have gone through arthritis, two knee replacements and spine complications that has impaired my mobility considerably. But just entering the studio alleviates all my aches and pains, and those 90 minutes of practice allow me to forget any worries on my mind. Although I have gained flexibility and strength, I am still working on my balance (slowly but surely)

I am so satisfied with my experience that even when my life gets complicated, I still make time for my practice. It makes me feel confident in myself and gives a sense of self respect to stay strong with my commitment. Not only that, but attending Bikram Yoga helps with my overall health and mood during the rest of the day.

I am very thankful for this studio and plan to continue attending my classes regularly. I want to express my gratitude to all my teachers who have helped me grow in my yoga journey and many of my classmates that have become my friends. It’s like visiting a second family of sweating bodies every day I join the group. I’ve had a blast!"
