Classes at Sumit Hot Yoga flow to music through a sequence of both balancing and energizing asanas (poses) in a heated practice environment. At Sumits Yoga, we understand the healing aspect of heat. In a yoga class, you practice poses that require stretching and compression of the joints, muscles, ligaments and other supporting structures of the body. Your body naturally protects itself from physical exertion by generating heat from the inside muscles outwards. We start with the heat up front…providing extra protection from the very first poses. Another added benefit is that your body burns fat more effectively. It's not uncommon for our students practicing regularly to lose inches of shape in a relatively short time. Though classes are designed to optimize physical health by waking and energizing the entire body, Sumits Yoga stresses that the greatest benefit comes not as much from the healing of the body, but from the healing of the mind. The simple pleasure and self-reward that comes from quieting our minds, listening to each breath and honoring where are bodies are in stillness or movement cannot be measured. You do not measure your yoga practice by how many perfectly aligned poses you can perform, but by how deep you can immerse yourself inwards. It's amazing how a simple downward dog can be felt so differently by any student on any given day and still provide a feeling of connection, balance and satisfaction regardless of the depth it's practiced. This is the true beauty of yoga and it awaits every student who is ready let go of the ego and begin listening to their own deeper wisdom and inner voice.

Tabby's Story

My yoga journey began in 2015. I was depressed and a friend who was trying to cheer me up invited to me to a Sumits class. It saved my life, changed my life, and I was hooked! I started taking classes multiple times a week. In 2016, I was coming only sporadically due to life changes. In October 2019, my boyfriend passed away suddenly and I found myself in need of healing which brought me right back to Sumits. This community and family helped me heal from grief and sadness. They gave me hugs, held me through tears, and helped me focus on my breath. January 2023, I made it my goal to come to class consistently for the year. I went on my first yoga retreat with Sumits to Tulum, Mexico that year. It was a life changer! That year turned into coming all the time. I went through two hips surgeries in 2024 and yoga asana was one of the only ways that helped me to regain strength and heal completely. As I was healing from the surgeries, I wanted to dive deeper into what yoga is. So, I researched where it began and in August of 2025, I flew to Rishikesh, India, the birthplace of yoga, and spent a month secluded in an ashram in the Himalayas completing my 200-hour YTT from Rishikesh Yogpeeth. I am now a 200 RYT yoga instructor trained in Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga.

My goal is to not only teach asana classes, but to also teach others that yoga is an entire lifestyle that goes beyond the mat. Asanas are only a small piece of the whole of yoga. Practicing this lifestyle daily helps us to come into the yoga mind and recognize our true bliss in life. It also helps us to realize that every day we show up, do our best, and the rest is out of our control. I want to help others to be able to come to a place of no judgement, not just of others, but of ourselves. I want to guide others in yoga so that they can come to a place of peace and love in their mind, hearts, and lives. It would be my honor and joy to teach you all that I have learned and still continue to learn! I welcome everyone to ask questions and to join me on their mat! Peace, love, and light to you all. Namaste!

Katie's Story

My yoga journey began the summer of 2020. Like many people during that time, I was looking for something different and something to take my mind off all things COVID. And this was definitely different.

I have always been an active person. As an adult, running has been my go-to workout and mental health outlet. I was never a “workout class” gal. Exercise was always an individual activity for me. Not social at all.

So on a hot sunny afternoon in July, I attended my first Sumits 60 class with Julie teaching and jumped out of my comfort zone. I fell in love immediately. It was the perfect “non-class-like” class. I can shut the rest of the world out and be just me for one wonderful hour. No matter the day of the week, my mood, or my energy level, I can show up and walk out a better, happier person.

Bone Braise x Elemental Immersion Sound is this weekend, November 1 from 2 - 4:30 PM. Join Sarah and Maria for an undeniable energetic experience.

We begin as Maria guides us through an extended backbending exploration class called Bone Braise. This is her self-created heart opening and backbend specialty yoga experience intended to support in opening our spine to possibility and beauty. This practice will have layers in all movement planes in order to support beginners to very advanced practitioners.

After our energy flow is moving from our asana practice, we will enter into Elemental Immersion Sound with Sarah. Elemental Immersion Sound explores the energies of the Elements in order to align our chakras with Nature through the high vibration of sound healing.

Sarah leads us into a deep exploration of our energetic and physical experience with sharing, individual and group Karuna Reiki, meditation and sound healing intended to invite our subconscious mind to raise our vital energy from our root to our crown.

Our practices in this afternoon retreat will support us in learning how to focus on expanding and moving this energy throughout our entire body, while strategically tasking and healing the nervous system. This awareness brings vitality, healing and inner connection to our energetic field in a whole new way.

Please bring extra pillows and blankets for meditation, cards, oils, and crystals for your journey. You will leave with an empowered new connection to your vital energy.
