Saturday November 1, 2025 marks the 18 year anniversary of Steamtown Hot Yoga and Barre. Special treats from our friends at Throops Soups, as well as a special sale on our custom made Hot Yoga towels. All attendees to class on Saturday will be entered into our raffle for some great SHY swag.

Friday November 7, 2025 at 5:30pm. Christine and Joanne will break down our standing series of our Hot 60 and Barkan classes and get into the mechanics of how and why we do the postures we do in our practices. After we breakdown our postures, we will go through an intentional slow flow focused on the 5th vinyasa of our Barkan method class. This clinic will break down our familiar asanas (poses) and help participants understand their function. Participants will receive individual guidance to help make postures more accessible, more productive, and more valuable for their unique needs. Amplifications and modifications will also be discussed. Who should attend this clinic? If you are new... If you are a seasoned practitioner... if you have any injuries that may hold you back in practice... if you believe the yoga struggle is real... or if you feel like you have hit a plateau in your practice. So basically...everyone needs this clinic. Space is limited...spots will fill up fast! BOOK NOW
