From the reviews

I love the classes here, but unfortunately can't go anymore. Hartford is too crazy with parking tickets. I recieved 3 parking violation tickets and the 3rd towed me car which I had to pay 150 for! I had no idea they were going to have an event on trumbull street on Sunday.

Hartford Sweat Yoga Studios has had a profound impact on my health and sense of well-being. I have been attending the Bikram Yoga classes for nearly six months now.

★★★★★ — Stephan, Dec 2024

BYDH opened brand new a little more than a year ago. I can't praise this place enough. I've been attending classes here for over a year and it has been an amazing experience. The instructors are very professional and knowledgeable.

★★★★★ — Alvaro, Feb 2014

I've been going to Hartford sweat for about a year and a half now. They offer a wide variety of classes throughout the week and are very affordable for what they offer. I haven't taken a class I haven't liked and especially recommend 26 & 2 classes with Rakyel & Shannon, Vinyasa 75 with Jose (you will work!

Your first barre class at Hartford Sweat

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.
