Best yoga facility in Birmingham by far. Very skilled staff with credentials a mile long. Excellent classes you will never forget. Teacher training available. Seminars taught by famous yogis from around the world. They have a true hot room with humidity control and CO2 sensors. Super clean as well. I love the Zebra mats that challenge my balance and protect my joints. They are also great for falling out of inversions..
I loved yoga classes that I attended in Mobile but when I moved back to Birmingham, I couldn't find my yoga "home" until I came to Kiva. The truly do a phenomenal job. The instructors are great at encouraging you and they really seem to care about your health and well being. They have a great mix of varying levels of classes. I enjoy feeling challenged but having more zin options. I would highly recommend trying no matter your level of experience.
Great instructors that welcome you to go at your own pace.
First class was great! So happy for the invite Christa. Never thought I would be comfortable in a yoga class, but the exuberant reception and calming mood made for a most memorable first time yoga experience. Thank you everyone at Kiva Hot yoga, from reception
to instructor, as well as fellow patrons!!!
Namasté
Hot yoga was literally HOTT!! The instructor did her thing! As a first- timer, she didn't make me feel incredibly awkward or humiliated. I especially enjoyed the calming aspect of the whole experience!
The studio and class space is very clean and has some pretty great amenities (showers, towels, etc) that definitely come in handy after a hot yoga class where you've been sweating profusely.
The teachers I've had class with so far were all excellent. They're inclusive, welcoming, generously kind-spirited, and non judgemental - those qualities are what one should expect from a good yoga teacher. The teachers create a great learning environment where every student (not just the advanced ones doing fancy things) feels important and encouraged.
The classes I've taken during the week in the afternoon and evening were both very well attended and had students at all levels mixed in. The teachers did a great job making these all-levels classes interesting and engaging for everyone.
The teachers are exceptionally skilled at recognizing how their students are doing students and adapting the flow of the instruction accordingly. I've seen a number of classes where teachers abandon beginners in down dog or child's pose for 2-3 minutes while they take advanced students through more showy asanas that's always a huge bummer. There's none of that sort of teaching at Kiva, which I love. I'm on the advanced side of things and I was sufficiently challenged by the additional options for intensifying the asanas seamlessly suggested during the classes.

Too hot for people who can get a little heated but not hot
I love the staff and the professional atmosphere ! It has been an amazing journey to wellness .
Great first time experience for a novice. Invigorating and calming at the same time
The heat is just right, the instructors are awesome and the classes leave you feeling awesome.
Nicole, Pamela, Erin and Mary Lou are the best. Make me feel comfortable as the beginner I am. However truly interested in seeing my progression in Yoga. Great instructors, better people.

Kiva hot yoga is life changing. The hot 90 class has made my everyday life more peaceful and centered. My body has become stronger and more balanced.
I wanted to attend a yoga class on Saturday afternoon, and Kiva had one scheduled. It was not my first time in a Bikram-style class, so I generally knew what to expect. The studio is comfortable, with cushioned floors, a locker room, and friendly staff (thanks, Taylor!). For first timers: it's hot. No, really, not a joke. Alabama-in-August hot and humid. Take a towel to completely cover your mat, and a hand towel to wipe your face. Hydrate for several hours beforehand in addition to taking an icy cold extra large bottle of water with you to class. Familiarize yourself with the Bikram style before you go--especially if you are used to vinyasa-style classes--and it will help you make it through that first session. I plan to go back regularly, alternating with the other studio I like that offers other kinds of yoga.
Love the positive energy and encouraging spirit of all the instructors! Great variety of classes!
I highly recommend Kiva Hot Yoga! The staff is amazing and the studio is always pristine. I look forward to classes and feel SO good after a core body workout!
Discovering Kiva Hot Yoga and regularly practicing the [traditional Bikram style] Hot 26 completely changed my life! Kiva's teachers and studio make it an excellent place to practice yoga. The teachers are kind, knowledgable, and encouraging. The studio is well designed and always clean. I've tried other yoga studios in town and Kiva is by far my favorite! I also like that they offer other classes and types of yoga [ex. Buti, Pilates, Yin] while keeping the Hot 26 on the schedule daily.
The classes are super fun and engaging. The instructors are encouraging and patient. The facility is clean and inviting. Everything was awesome!
Everything! Especially the instructor... that Erin Cornelius is special!! But really the whole experience at Kiva is special. You can tell it's more than just a YOGA studio... it's a yoga EXPERIENCE!!
I had an amazing time at Kiva Hot Yoga! The staff was great and very personable.
