Gypsy Waltz Hot Yoga Studio

I practice here when I visit my parents in the summer and while I like the studio and there are informative instructors, I was very turned off by the verbiage an instructor used on my last visit. Saying, “Shine your nipples to the sky” instead of, “lift your heart” is not only unnecessary and just plain weird, it’s inappropriate. 1 out of 3 women and one out of 6 men are sexual assault survivors so it would be naive to think that we are not in your classes, we are. And that aside, I guarantee 99.9% of the students that hear that cueing are very uncomfortable, again, weird and unnecessary. I’m late on the review because I was too upset to share at the time and was reminded of this weirdness when I heard the same cue while taking an online class today. I’m an instructor myself and I have practiced all around the states and have thankfully only heard it twice, once on YouTube this morning and the other at this studio. I feel like this verbiage is why so many people think yoga is “weird”. If it were my first class, I would have never taken another. I would have completely written yoga off and that’s unfortunate. The world needs yoga. Don’t scare people away from it. The teacher was lovely and had a lovely energy, she really did, but she would benefit from taking a trauma informed YTT. All teachers should take one, it’s important. Namaste🙏 ***UPDATE*** It’s not letting me reply directly for some reason but just WOW on your response to my review. Did you not read it???? What an unprofessional and insensitive response, just wow. I’d now give 0 stars if I could.

I am in love with this studio, I’ve traveled and have done hot yoga on/off for over 10 years, and what Christy has built at Gypsy Waltz is unique, amazing and uplifting. The sense of community, the creativity of the instructors, the variety of classes are by far the best I’ve been too. The added bonus is the health benefits and empowerment that I feel after attending a class. Highly recommend for anyone to try it out!

Absolutely fantastic yoga session! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟I attended a class with Hananda, and it was an wonderful experience from start to finish. The session was challenging yet incredibly rewarding, pushing me to my limits while ensuring I felt supported and motivated throughout. Her teaching style is truly remarkable and on-point—clear, encouraging, fun, and perfectly paced. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced yogi, Hananda is the perfect instructor for you. She has a unique ability to cater to all skill levels, making everyone feel comfortable and capable. Her guidance and adjustments were spot on, helping me improve my form and deepen my practice. I highly recommend Hananda to anyone looking to elevate their yoga journey! 🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️

I was visiting from Boston and wanted to get in a workout before enjoying my time in Texas... I took a hip hop yoga class with Allie and it was awesome. She an excellent teacher! I would highly recommend checking them out if you want a fun yet challenging class.

My gypsy waltz journey has impacted my physical and mental health more than I could’ve ever imagined! It’s my favorite way to start my day and I look forward to it every night. There’s no better high than walking out of a hot yoga class, obsessed is an understatement!!
