Beautiful studio, and I think there's something to be said for pushing yourself to the edge of your comfort zone. I've enjoyed some good classes here (Sweet Surrender is a heated yin class), but if you prefer a more traditional and grounding practice, this place is not for you. An unheated Vinyasa Flow can just as easily be modified to "build heat" and if I wanted to do HIIT, I would just go to the gym.

As someone who has maintained some variety of yoga practice for almost 15 years, I would not recommend this place to beginners. There are some good teachers here, but I've definitely had experiences where it just felt like they were reading off a script, didn't que modifications but instead just "push yourself" (not always accessible), and walked around the room while students were in child's pose and savasana (not trauma informed).

Yoga is an extension of my spiritual life and where I go to bask in ease and feel at home in my body. I want an authentic, and tantric experience. For me this place just misses the mark.

I always like to give places a second chance before writing a review.

The first time I came, I was lost trying to find the place. Parking was scattered, and I didn’t realize you had to enter from the back of the building. I was a couple minutes late (my fault), but the way the instructor, Alyson Barnfather, handled it was unnecessary. Her comment, “you’re lucky the door was even open,” followed by walking off upset, rubbed me the wrong way especially since I had paid $30 for the class. It was just a couple of minutes, the door was still unlocked, and I came in quietly. Honestly, her reaction was more disruptive than my entrance.

The studio itself also made me uneasy. The built-in floor mats didn’t feel sanitary (even though I’m sure they clean them), and cables hanging from the ceiling didn’t help. The heat and steam during hot yoga were extremely intense, and unfortunately I was placed directly in front of the steam vent, making it hard to keep up. That part didn’t bother me, it’s hot yoga after all. What did bother me was that after class, when I thanked Alyson, she used that moment to “chew me out” again, saying I should count myself lucky the door was open and that it won’t happen again. Not exactly the Zen energy I expected. To make it worse, her children were running around during class, banging on the walls and windows, and she had to leave the room a couple of times because of it. Yet somehow, she still felt justified in scolding me. Maybe she thought that because she wasn’t yelling, she wasn’t being rude but it was rude. Extremely. You already made your point, no need to keep repeating it. I'm not your child.

That said, I’m glad I gave the studio another try, because Melissa Moore was the complete opposite. Calm, encouraging, and she actually flowed with us during practice. She created a welcoming environment and embodied the energy I was hoping to find.

Overall, I wouldn’t return to a class taught by Alyson, but Melissa’s class was a much better experience.

I'm a huge yoga novice so this class was difficult for me especially after the halfway point, but I was happy I survived without having to leave the room once. The class was a very rewarding and humbling experience. The instructor was thorough with her guidance through the movements and excellent at bringing good spiritual energy to our minds. 10/10 would recommend.

I was able to trust and let go and be in the flow of the class due to the expertise and leadership of my instructor. Thank you torch - a+ delivery as always!

Membership is SO worth it! I love Torch yoga and look forward to it every week. My personal favorite class is Scorch and Burn with Aly, because not only is it challenging, but she has great meditative and relaxing openers and finishers, leaving students feeling like we worked hard but also relaxed and accomplished. Give it a shot!

Torch is absolutely amazing—it’s become my second home. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the warm smiles and genuine kindness of everyone there. The sense of community is incredible; it’s not just a place to practice yoga, but a space where I feel truly connected to others. The instructors are so supportive and inspiring, always encouraging me to grow while honoring my own pace. I app Traci ate the supper in building practice with tougher poses.

Practicing here has not only strengthened my body but also filled me with a sense of peace. I really enjoy the meditation parts. It’s like a reset button for my being, allowing me to leave behind the chaos of the day and connect with the present moment. I love that each instructor brings that into focus.

This hot yoga studio is one of the best! The Virginia Beach and Norfolk locations are both great and unique in their own way. I love the hippie vibe at the Virginia Beach location. The studio is always hot, the best classes are the ones that mix mindfulness and intention with an intense flow. I love how the studio has a community garden and an outdoor shower.

Just go alreadyyyy!!! I am visiting VB for a month from Colorado to scope out neighborhoods for an upcoming cross country move. I normally practice at CorePower and wasn't sure what to expect. I've had some *mixed* yoga experiences when traveling! But Torch is the real deal! It was hot. Ok, hot AF...but that's what you're there for, right?! It kicked my booty a little - as a seasoned hot yogi, I expected to hold up a little better for my first class. But it was tough in all the best ways. Can't wait to go back and ultimately join longterm once we move! Thank you Torch!!!

(Oh, also, the space is nice and friendly, not overly hippie or yogi but just the right balance. And...the entire studio floor is a giant yoga mat. WHAAAAAT?!?! All you need to do is put a yoga towel down. Had NO idea that was a thing. HOW COOL.)

*Update 12/6/24: So grateful to now call Torch my home studio. Been practicing here regularly for about 6 months and still love it just as much. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

My body and mind always feel better after class. All levels are welcome in this judgement free zone. I felt instantly at home from my first class and every instructor brings a little something special and different to the table, though I enjoy Natalie's teaching style the most, they are all great at what they do. The blacked out room instead of mirrored walls is great because it keeps me focused on what is happening inside, instead of what I look like during practice. Definitely book classes in advance because they do fill up sometimes. Looking forward to continuing my yoga journey at Torch ❤️🔥

So in love with this studio! I am 40yo and brand new to yoga. I have been weight training and working out at the gym for about 6 years now and love it! However, I have been feeling like I need a little more "stretch" in my life and that I needed to spice up my routine a little. I just moved to VB from AZ last October and ended up moving into a condo right next to Torch and drove by it every day. They have a "30 days for $30" deal so I took on the challenge and set it up. SO GLAD I DID!! I now go at least 2x per week in between workouts (they have a couple 6am classes which are perfect for my early bird schedule 🥰) and I have never felt better. Not only do I get to sweat out those toxins on yoga days, I get to challenge myself. My fibromyalgia has never felt better! I feel the burn in places I didn't even know existed and relief in others 😅 Everyone at the studio is kind and never make you feel out of place. Everything is clean and orderly, they give you towels and have (my favorite) Crunchy waters availablefor purchase😁. Everything is exactly how I would expect it to be and I'm beyond grateful to have been perfectly placed right next door. Thank you so much for all your efforts. I wish you decades of success 🙌

Was a member here for about 6 months and attended a number of classes. Classes are generally more crowded than other facilities and the instructors are giving verbal direction onlu, not showing the moves, which may not may not matter to you, but for me, showing the moves helps a lot to following along.

The additional reason for the low score has to do with some unethical behavior on the part of the management on a couple of instances. Can’t recommend Torch for this reason.

Awesome place. Membership covers both studios, which is nice as they both have different offerings / time slots. As I live in between the two studios this is especially useful for me. 30$ for 30 Days intro is a really good deal for unlimited classes. Online scheduling is easy to figure out, and you can cancel without any fees online as long as you do so 2hrs in advance. Been going about 3x a week, and have noticed my skin improving, as well as my range of motion increasing.

I never knew how much I needed Hot Yoga! I've done yoga off and on over the past many years, but This is a whole new level! So many good things to say. First, the environment ( I go to the Norfolk location ) is so welcoming and everyone is kind. I was at first nervous to go because I didn't feel experienced enough, or gosh, what if I can't make it through the heat, or Wow, my face turns really red. But None of that is how I felt when I got there. It's too hot for anyone to care; nobody notices the things I felt insecure about. I love that they have a humidifier on; it's not stale heat. You feel thinner with every drop of sweat. Toxins leaving your body. There is a real energy shift in the body. By the end of it, It's euphoric! Nobody seems to mind that I can't quite keep up; they're not pushy and they allow you your own space to go at your own pace. I appreciate that, too. It's just overall a wonderful place and I feel so strong, clean from the inside out and motivated to do better every time I leave that class. It seems to encourage me to drink more water, too. Bonus! You've gotta try it! And if I'm there, you're welcome to come drop your mat next to mine. I'm new, too. :)

Torch has completely changed my body. I sleep better at night, I have more energy throughout the day and when I wake up I start my day with yoga or meditation on my rest days. 30 days of unlimited yoga has given me the opportunity to challenge my mind and body. I found a new growth personally that was surprising since the main reason I started hot yoga was just to lose some extra weight since finishing my nursing program. What I didn't expect to find was a group of instructors that push me to be better everyday, to hold a pose a full breath longer then I would ever have pushed myself before. 2023 has started off great and I honestly can't to see how strong I am in 6-12 months. No better feeling than that glow when you are leaving a great class.

My only critical feedback is that the fundamental classes are too difficult and they are packed because the next step up in class difficulty is for very experienced participants.

Parking is tough but that’s also related to the beginner courses being so full. Go to Ashley W's classes. She is AWESOME.

After a four year break from Yoga, recently moving to Norfolk from NC and preparing myself physically/mentally/spiritually for a future sailing adventure, I wanted to get back into Yoga. I stumbled upon Torch Yoga and was a bit hesitant since I have never done Hot Yoga. Sure, the heat was intense as I lay upon my mat waiting for the class to start, yet the encouragement from the staff at Torch to just breathe though it was perfection. Now, over a month later, I am so in love with this workout that I cannot get enough and look forward to each session with joy. I'm already getting stronger, more a peace and more accepting.

The staff and the tribe of like-minded souls there are incredibly non-judgmental, encouraging no matter what your skill level is, that I cannot think of any other place I'd rather be as I prepare myself for a journey across the sea and into the Unknown. All you have to do is show up. During the sessions, the instructors will gently guide us with soft nudges of going as far as you can without any competition or judgment, just love.

If you want to get stronger, release the constrictions of you days at work, find peaceful moments and merely feel better in this seemingly chaotic world, give Torch a try. An hour's workout translates into days of peace.

Most definitely 5 stars! I'm hooked for as long as I am here.

Torch Yoga is amazing and I recommend it to anyone. As a beginner I’ve found it to be a life changing experience, without exaggeration. After a few months of going a few times a week, I’ve already felt a lot of progress in flexibility, strength, and mindfulness. It’s also helped me in other aspects of life like weightlifting, tennis, and positive thinking. Hope to be doing this for a long time. Huge fan of all the instructors especially Lotta, Jess, Nicole, Sibille

Torch yoga studio is so much more… To me it is a microcosm of serenity in A world of noise, engines, frantic movement. Each session begins with instructor-led “turn off the external and tune in internally” gentle cues. Throughout the experience, each Yogi is encouraged to be the center of their own universe where the possibilities are limitless. The underlining constant is “move your body, stretch your mind”. After attending classes, workshops, trainings, retreats four years plus i continue to be amazed by the creativity of offerings and each instructor’s unique and ever-evolving repertoire of guided movement and of deliberate stillness. I highly recommend taking a break from external forces of every day life by attending a class at Torch Yoga Studio - a safe space where judgement is non-existent,
the possibilities are endless. Norfolk and Virginia Beach locations. Enroll online!

I don’t know where to start! Torch yoga has become a staple in my life! The aura of the environment is very uplifting, it’s truly a safe space for everyone! I’ve been going for 6 months now and I’ve lost so much weight from 50 classes so far. You really get your money’s worth with the whole experience. All of the instructors are top notch and supportive! 10/10 would highly recommend!

AMAZING vibes here, super warm & friendly!! I attended my first class (Rockyurasana) at Torch VA Beach today with Jess. IT. WAS. INCREDIBLE. That was by far ⚡the most intense yoga class I've ever experienced⚡(and I've experienced an obscene amount). Jess was soooo good. I'm so grateful I found her & this class!! (It actually made me want to step up my game at as well💪🏼) They just got a new fan👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Absolutely love this place and am so grateful to have found a yoga home away from home (traveling from NC). I've been to classes with both Sibille and Maryssa so far and am already compelled to sing my praises. Both were so amazing. Teachers are very skilled,. Theming and music are so well done, and the classes will leave you having worked out, and worked in after being safely guided to your physical and mental edge. You will leave stronger than you came. So so good- Thank you!

The best yoga classes I’ve ever been to! Spiritually, mentally and physically rewarding. It’s impossible not to sweat at Torch Yoga. Although, you may feel as though you’re being tortured by Jess, she has the best intentions for you. She wants you to push past your limits. Personally for me it makes it worth the money.

I love this studio!!
The people are all amazing and friendly, from the patrons to the employees. Each class I've taken has been lead by one wonderful teacher after another and my favorite classes are Rockyurasana, FuNdamentals, and Sweet Surrender. The Sweet Surrender classes are wonderful because it's guided in such a lovely manner that it makes an hour long practice feel like 10 minutes because of how relaxed and clear minded you'll leave the studio. The monthly meditations are also a blessing to attend, especially if your in some sort of mental funk. The other classes, however, absolutely push my limitations both physically and mentally through blood, sweat, and tears, and I can already feel my own personal growth from just over a month in attendance.
Manifest your yogi flame with Torch Yoga!
Namaste!

Scorch and Burn is the best workout I've ever had- coming from a D1 and lifelong athlete. Relaxing stretching and meditation comes in with Sweet Surrender, and then fundamentals will have you falling in love with yoga and experiencing new lengths you can take your stretches to in the heat. The instructors are very educated and incorporate meditation and mindset along with altheticism perfectly into their practices. Every workout is different- and months later I've still never been born from a class. I stopped lifting and doing separate workouts, and I've really never been in better shape, looked better, or felt stronger. Could not recommend more!!!

Torch is a one of a kind yoga studio. I first found out about it at a pop up class at a local brewery back in 2018. My husband and I took the class on a whim, and we were very surprised how challenging it was. I joined shortly after and started taking the heated classes. As an athletic, in-shape individual, it has challenged me in ways I have not expected. The heat, the breathing, the positions, the movement... it's truly a challenge. I have done high intensity interval training through orangetheory for the past five years off and on, and this takes strength and endurance to an entirely different level. It has improved not only my breathing, but also my overall mental health; it's been a true blessing. Instructors are top notch and the studio is very clean. 10/10 recommend!

Torch is my first experience with yoga. I'm a middle aged man trying to stay healthy and fit. I am not an extreme fitness nut. I have been attending Torch Yoga Studio for over a year, and I love it!

If you’re looking for a studio with the best vibe, unique yoga classes & amazing/attentive teachers, you NEED to check out torch! They also do a 30days for $30 which is an AWESOME incentive to get you started!
I recently moved from CA and practiced with Corepower yoga. It was extremely hard finding a studio in VB that gave me the mindful but fitness packed practice i was getting at Corepower. Then i found torch and i am happy to say that i have finally found my new yoga home!
They have a ton of different class times and offer many classes for whatever part of your journey you may be in.
The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and want nothing but for you to have a safe practice, be challenged & have fun!
10/10 recommend!

Found this studio during COVID and decided to sign up for their intro offer. Just became a member. I appreciate that they're following CDC recommended guidelines so it feels safe to practice at a studio.

It's a hot yoga studio focused on fitness. There's a variety of classes from slow to fast paced, most classes offered are vinyasa, there are a few yin inspired and meditation classes, also vinyasa with weights. They also have workshops on different things and I think that's cool.

They have mats and towels, other props for people that need/want them. There are two showers, bathrooms, and lockers. There's merchandise as well as cold beverages for sale- everything that you'd need for a fitness focused hot yoga studio. There's lots of parking and they even have a garden where they share their harvest.

My only wish is that the studio has mirrors so I can align myself better.

I have been going to this yoga Studio for about 6 months now.

THE STUDIO, is located in a great location and can accommodate a full class parking without the need to figure out where you are going to park. The studio's artwork and garden brings a great spiritual personality to the studio. The studio even has an outdoor Yoga area for out door classes. The smell of studio have great aromas that is apart of the experience as well. The best part of the studio is the actual Yoga room that heats up to about 100 degrees, great for an intense workout.

THE STAFF AND YOGA CLASSES, is the heart of the studio and the reason that i have been committed for the last half of year. The staff will do their best to make the class intense and bring about a great energy that flows smoothly and allows for an intense workout. You will be sweating a lot as the studio is almost 100 degrees. Drink a lot of water.

ALL IN ALL, Great Studio! Love you Torch!

This is a wonderful studio for anyone looking to try hot yoga for the first time or anyone looking to find a better understanding of yoga practice. All of the teachers are extremely detailed, helping you get the most of out each pose and explaining how conscious breathing will help your muscles relax. What you should be feeling in each stretch. Some yoga places just put you through the motions but this is the only place I've found a deeper understanding of how my body is actually letting go of tension and knots. I am completely obsessed and love the warm rooms during the winter. Sweating, detoxing, building muscle, and relaxing is an hour extremely well spent!

When I took a class at Torch, I knew I had met my match. Each class is unique and each instructor truly wants to see you succeed. The staff takes pride in the studio, and has helped to grow Torch into a wonderful community. The new location on Shell Road is absolutely beautiful with its outdoor yoga deck and garden. If you're looking to deepen your relationship with your body & mind through the power of yoga, I would highly recommend Torch Yoga Studio (:

Torch is beyond anything you could ask for from a Yoga Studio! As someone who never did yoga prior, I went to Torch and they made feel welcomed!

There are a lot of different classes and different instructors, all of which offer a different workout which I find the variety awesome!!
