Welcome to Magnolia Yoga!

Completing your first Hot Yoga class here is a major accomplishment—one that will stay with you. As Louisiana’s first Black-owned Yoga studio, we’re proud to offer a safe, empowering space centered on healing, wellness, and community—especially for BIPOC individuals. Join us in redefining health and wellness through Yoga!

The Magnolia Yoga Standard

  • Your only goal: Stay in the room. Take breaks as needed. 
  • Hydration: Drink water before and after class. We sell water/coconut water.
  • Eating: Come with an empty or light stomach *½ a sandwich, ½ banana. 
  • Arrival: Arrive early to park, set up, and use the restroom—doors lock when class begins.
  • Belongings: Store all personal items in cubbies or changing rooms. Only bring your mat, towel, and optional face mask into the room.
  • Physical Sensations: Feeling overwhelmed, dizzy, or nauseous is normal—it’s part of the detox process.

Why Hot Yoga Works

  • The Heat: Enhances circulation, detoxifies the body, and boosts metabolism. Mentally, it helps build focus and resilience.
  • The People: Our vibrant community uplifts and motivates. Many leave with new friendships.
  • The Teachers: Highly trained and deeply supportive—your guide, motivator, and anchor throughout class.
  • The Silence: While we love your energy in common areas, the practice room is a space for silence, reflection, and connection.
  • The Practice: No judgment, no pressure. All classes are beginner-friendly. Just do your best—you’ll still receive full benefits. Yoga helps break limiting beliefs and fosters emotional release and deep purification.
