From the reviews

Kathleen's studio and classes are amazing. As someone who had never done "organized" yoga in the past- just videos at home- I felt welcome and included immediately. The studio is always clean, and calming. VERY well designed.

★★★★★ — Annie, Jan 2024

Be the Light Yoga came into my life when I needed it most. After a really difficult year, this studio became a place of healing, peace, and connection. Kathleen has created such a warm, supportive space that truly feels like a community.. and for that i am beyond grateful.

★★★★★ — Diana, Jan 2026

A perfect place to begin or continue your yoga practice! I’m so thankful I joined Erin on a random Saturday to “try” a yoga class. Kathleen (owner/instructor) leads many classes but her teaching of Yin and therapeutic yoga has been perfect for me!

★★★★★ — Carol, Jan 2026

I started at the studio in September, new to the city and just getting back into exercising. I felt shy, a little self-conscious, and honestly intimidated walking into my first class.

Teacher training at Be the Light Yoga Studio Yoga-Barre-Pilates - 200 Hour Certified Yoga Teacher Training

Be the Light Yoga Studio Yoga-Barre-Pilates - 200 Hour Certified Yoga Teacher Training comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming a barre instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — many boutique studios run a proprietary, method-specific training (Pure Barre, Bar Method, and barre3 each certify you in their own format), while others offer a more general barre certification you can teach anywhere. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — trainings often run as intensive weekend blocks or over several weeks, and most studios want you taking classes there regularly first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.

Your first barre class at Be the Light Yoga Studio Yoga-Barre-Pilates - 200 Hour Certified Yoga Teacher Training

New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Barre is low-impact, so it suits most bodies and fitness levels — but if you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
