Love this place! I'm so lucky to have Alchemy right here in Wake Forest! I felt right at home the first class. A real welcoming vibe, reminded me of the way hot yoga studios were when I first started. The way they laid the room out with these cool light strips on the ceiling and little mandalas on the wall to mark where to put your mat, super cool and clever. I took several classes from slow flows, longer power flows to yin with pranayama, all were amazing! One class, coming out of, savasana I was not quite sure where I was (sign of an awesome class!), with the sweat in my eyes the light strips were like lil baby disco balls reminding me I was in the right spot ;)

What a score for Wake Forest!

My wife introduced me to this hot yoga studio about a year ago and I look forward to every visit. Jen and her group of teachers here make me feel seen and safe. My body is spent after class, but it provides me the rare opportunity to settle my mind. I would encourage anyone looking for a hot yoga studio to stop by - you'll find what you need.

I had a spectacular experience dropping in to a slow flow class while I was visiting WF this week! Jen was welcoming and warm and did an excellent job orienting me to the studio for my first visit. Her class was spectacular - exactly what I needed! She gave recommendations for other classes to try, and I will definitely be back next time I’m in town. Thanks for a beautiful drop-in experience!

This studio is a loving, assuring community, built and nurtured by compassionate, brave, generous and skilled yogis. It is a reliable, judgement-free, safe zone for all. The heat, the floor, the vibe, the pauses, the movements, the sounds, the fairy lights, the soothing color of the walls, the lavendery coolness of the face towels at the end of the class, the routines, teachers and members are better than perfect. There are variety of classes suitable for different levels, seven days a week; there is something for everyone.

You'll always be greeted with a warm welcome! Even in a full class someone will scoot over and make space for you with a smile. Mat, non slip mat towel, face towel, bolsters, bricks, straps, blankets... all available, if you need! All you need is to get there. The prices are very reasonable and there are many options to choose from.

I walked through those doors at a time when I desperately needed to "rise". Maggie embraced me with so much love and assurance the first day that I felt home right away. I am already addicted to Nicole's Sunday sessions. And meeting Sophie, the beautiful GSD is a sheer joy. Melyssa and Amy are wonderful. Can't wait to attend classes led by the rest.

Words can't express how thankful I am. This place saved me. Hope this journey helps me to be a better person and I wish to be able to share the same love, kindness, generosity, inclusiveness and be part of this wonderful community.

Five stars, without a doubt.

I love this studio so much! They have a nice variety of options ranging from yin to power flow so that everyone will find a class perfectly suited for their practice. The studio itself is lovely. I especially appreciate how the lighting is dim and everything is so clean. The instructors are top notch.

Definitely not lying about being a hot yoga place (which is good), I enjoyed their intermediate classes when I went. They have a good class variety, but I'd say the floors are a downside (this foamy wood) and the lights are a bit tacky (strip LEDs). Other than that, I liked it

I love this studio, it is so intimate and welcoming! The instructors are so friendly, very knowledgeable, and they each have their own unique style. I love Amy’s yin class, and would love to see a morning yin class on the schedule in the future! Amy is such a great instructor, and she always provides alternative movements so everyone feels like they can fully participate in the practice. I also love her readings from yoga and similar books, her class has been a great part of my mindfulness journey this year.

A friend invited me to tag along with her to a Yoga class and I did. We took a class with an instructor by the name of Nichole and all I’m gonna say is OMG. My experience was so AMAZING. By the end of my class my mind was refreshed and my body felt great and I was completely soaked from the Hot Yoga class. I mean the mat was complete wet with puddles and I looked like a wet puppy doggy. Thanks for such an amazing experience definitely plan to come back again this was truly a mind blowing experience and I feel so amazing!

I’ve been going to Alchemy since September of last year. It’s been amazing for my mental and physical health. I’d never been to a yoga class before, and I immediately felt like I was home! Jen does an amazing job making sure everyone feels welcome, and all the instructors are wonderful! The workshops are also informative! The classes are challenging but doable! Everyone is so encouraging, and instructors really believe in their students!

Cute space in the heart of Wake Forest for hot yoga. They have a variety of class offerings and times. I love that they have 45 min and hour long class lengths. They also cap the class sizes instead of cramming people in which is much appreciated. I’ve liked all of the instructors I’ve take so far. Definitely recommend!

Alchemy has become my home away from home studio since they opened. I travel to Raleigh often and always book my classes with excitement before I head into town. All of the teachers are amazing. I've had classes with Jennifer, Lauren A., Lauren J (a serious treat to practice with her!), Joey, & Danielle and each class has been fabulous.

I did a Reiki and Restore workshop with Pam and John. It was amazing. Both instructors were extremely knowledgeable and worked together seamlessly. The 90 min workshop flew by. Consent for hands-on touch was forefront and they both made the studio feel like a safe space. Can’t wait for another workshop.

I’ve always been intrigued by a practice which guides you to move your body the way it was intended interwoven with a spiritual journey, but for years didn’t think it was for everybody. I, like most, found alchemy at a time I really needed the practice. It’s a welcoming atmosphere, laid back and instructors and students are incredibly kind, encouraging and helpful. It’s clean and has a chill vibe, unpretentious. All the teachers are top notch, the studio is clean, and the wet towels with lavender given at the end of class are amazing. A true community. What a very special place!!

Alchemy has my heart! Woman owned and every instructor provides beautiful instruction! I have taken several hundred classes and have been a member since the day Alchemy opened actually my BFF and I were the first ones in the door the day of opening and attended the very first class. Alchemy is more than just a yoga studio it is a very sacred space and I am honored every time I walk in the front door. Much love is shared without judgement! I have the best Mat Mates and you will too!!!

I moved into the Wake Forest area looking for a new yoga space to be part of and thankfully found Alchemy in Wake Forest. It can be hard to find a good community and it seems like Jennifer and the team do a lovely job building the community and creating welcoming vibes in the space. The teachers have a variety of styles and backgrounds that create a wonderful blend of class options. I am thankful for this yoga space and community.

I have attended over 100 classes at Alchemy Hot Yoga - and every class has been unique. I always leave refreshed, challenged and inspired. There are many levels and types of yoga classes to choose from and the classes are offered at times that accommodate busy schedules. I have found the teacher to be fun!, easy to follow because they provide clear, consistent direction on how to get into and out of poses. The environment/community at Alchemy is truly welcoming, non-judge mental and inclusive. If you are looking to join a hot yoga studio or in town for a visit, I highly recommend Alchemy.

I have been going to Alchemy Hot Yoga Studio since opening in October of 2019. The hot yoga room is amazing and is a place for healing for myself. I lost my mom in October of 2019 and the studio was the first place i went to find comfort. I have healed from knee replacement surgery in the studio. The staff is amazing and friendships have been made. This is my forever homeβ€οΈπŸ€—πŸ”₯❀️Love everyone and everything about Alchemy!!!!!

If you're looking for hot yoga to not just be a workout, this is your place. You will find authentic yoga in a hot room. You will have a spiritual experience getting in touch with your mind, heart, and body.
Each teacher has their own distinct approach. Each has the ability to accomodate across all skill sets without alienating anyone! You will feel safe, non-judged, and will leave exhilarated everytime.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I love Alchemy because I am not a reed thin yogi and this studio welcomes you without judgement, regardless of size, age, or ability. The instructors are always willing to help me make adjustments for my knees and shoulders. If you have ever wanted to try yoga but felt intimidated, please give Alchemy a try.

I found Alchemy when I needed it most. Like others, I was experiencing anxiety from quarantining during Covid. I wanted a place where I could lay all my anxieties down and do something that was good for me. I tried Alchemy and it didn't disappoint. I was able to pick my yoga practice back up and work through what was going on in the life around me. When you come, you will hear Jenn say to "wring it out." During this time you are doing a deep twist and it feels like you are literally wringing out your day, wringing out all the negativity, wringing out that "dirty dish water" in our lives. When you finish a class you will feel tired but even better than that, you will feel accomplished! Alchemy is a great place to just be. You don't have to be a pro, you don't t even have to be halfway good. You just have to come and be you. I have never been to a studio that was as welcoming as Alchemy. All of the teachers are genuinely happy to see other yogis. The teachers will challenge you, the will stretch you (not in the flexible sense..lol), but most of all, they will support you and your practice. Alchemy is AH-MAZING!

Jenny is, by all accounts, an exceptional proprietor of the studio. She will bend over backwards for prospective clients, and is exceptionally tolerant of confounded neophytes such as myself. In spite of all my inexperience, Jenny and everyone else was very supportive and encouraging.

I met another trainer while I was there and she was also extremely affable and gregarious. I'm eager to return at my nearest convenience. If you're thinking about it, act on it and get yourself into the studio!

Alchemy is the best. I've taken classes at many different studios over the years and Alchemy is truly a step above them all. Their studio is immaculate, the owner and the teachers are friendly and motivating. The class variety is a perfect blend of challenging options, guaranteed to push and improve your practice and yin classes focused on restoration. Definitely check them out - you won't be disappointed!

What's not to love about Alchemy?! From the moment I stepped in the door almost a year ago, I not only felt welcomed by the owner and the class community, but the positive energy in this studio just can't be beat! Even through the challenges of COVID, I've never felt disappointed by a class, an instructor, or the offerings Alchemy provides. The studio is always clean, always pleasant, the instructors are amazing and extremely knowledgable, and the owner is incredibly awesome--a business woman with a HUGE heart! I highly recommend this studio!

I can’t say enough about this amazing studio and amazing owner! Jen Wagner and Alchemy Hot Yoga has been like a port in the storm for the Wake Forest and surrounding communities. From the time you walk through the door until the moment you hit your mat, you will feel welcome, supported and accepted. Jen, along with each of the Alchemy instructors, provide a judgement-free environment, meeting the needs of every yogi, from the novice to the most advanced. With kindness and patience, Jen has helped me to improve my form and develop my practice. I am so incredibly thankful for Alchemy Hot Yoga!

I have been attending classes at Alchemy since December 2019. First time yogi and my experience has been spectacular! I was that person that continously did HIIT workouts until my body told me to stop. After knee surgeries and shoulder surgery my body hurt. I had to find something to protect me from more injury. I found my home, well...a family member introduced me to Alchemy and I am in love! Not only am I treating my body right but my practice has helped my mind. My stress level has decreased tremendously and I am more relaxed. This is not just a yoga studio to me...this is my extended family. Everyone, from the teachers to the students, are the kindest people. Jen, the owner, is fantastic. She is so helpful and encouraging...always brightens my day! I LOVE ALCHEMY!

Every time I walk through the door of this studio, my worries, anxieties and never-ending to-do lists disappear. For 45 minutes to an hour, I am just me. Not a mom, not a wife, not a business owner. I remember that I'm a spiritual being having a human experience, not a human being having a spiritual experience. Jenn has created the space for that. I am grateful for her, Alchemy and all the other thoughtful instructors. ❀️

There are two reasons I recommend Alchemy:

1. As a runner, I was looking for a Yoga studio that has the right balance of calm and challenge. Alchemy has both, the studio has a heated floor and infrared ceiling heat. Everytime I finish a class I feel challenged and am covered in sweat and have about 2 lbs of sweat in my top. It’s the perfect workout to complement my running!

2. The staff! The owner and instructor, Jennifer, makes everyone feel comfortable, no matter your level. Her staff is fantastic, all excellent instructors who bring both mental and physical wellness to anyone who attends class!

Alchemy has been a saving grace for me on many occasions. Always comfortable, always welcoming, smiles all around. I come in feeling low and have never felt anything less than incredible (if not totally spent haha) when leaving. During this insane pandemic Jennifer has worked her tail off to try to still have a safe space for yoga. Whether it was zoom classes, outdoor or special classes with appropriate safety measures in place. This place is special. It is run by a hardworking woman who has found the most amazing instructors. I always feel safe here, I come a few minutes before class to unwind, and with the cozy atmosphere, am happy the door is locked when class begins. Thankful for this space.

I can't say enough great things about this studio. When I moved to Wake Forest, I needed a new yoga home and lucky for me Alchemy opened soon after my arrival. I feel right at home with like-minded, like-spirited, like-skilled yogis. Beautiful space, top-notch teachers, welcoming community and really great yoga classes. Whether you are a newbie or seasoned to yoga or the hot room, you will find your place at Alchemy.

Rude experience:

I called to try and purchase a Gift Certificate over the phone, no answer - straight to voicemail - no problem its a small business.

A couple of hours later I had to run some errands so I decided to just stop by. I did not realize that the "studio" was closed when I arrived to purchase a Gift Certificate for my wife (no problem - my fault, should've looked up the hours beforehand).

Jenny calls me back and unfortunately I missed the call, I was busy in a store buying something. I call her back, no answer. Okay...

I stop by the "studio" again, knock on the door, no answer, look thru the window and can see lights are on... okay... I wait around about a minute or 2. Well, I'll just stop by later, I've got a bunch more errands to run.

Run my errands and head back to the "studio", but before I leave the last store I text Jenny: Are you open, I've been to your "gym" twice today and nobody is there.

I pull into the parking and receive a phone call from Jenny, she proceeds to tell me that she does not run a "gym" and that it is a "studio" (in a very snarky type of attitude I might add). She tells me that she saw me thru the window the 2nd time I arrived at her business and that she was running a class so she could not help me. She goes onto tell me that she just left for lunch and will be back in a half hour and that "that is the way it works".

I cant really remember a time that was so hard to give someone my business, it has been almost a week since this encounter and I have to tell you it still burns me up!
