No — Thrive offers a mix of heated, warm, and unheated classes.

​

Some classes, like our Hot Flow and 26 & 2, are practiced in a heated room for students who enjoy the added intensity and benefits of practicing in warmth. Others are warm classes (around 85°F), like Warm Yin and Warm Yoga Barre, which offer a gentler introduction to heated practice.

​

If you’re curious about hot yoga but not quite ready to jump into the heat, starting with a warm class can be a great place to begin. And we have another unique option: our covered back deck. With rain protection and commercial-grade heaters, the deck allows you to practice any class in fresh air while still seeing the class inside and hearing the teacher through our outdoor audio system. For many students, the deck is the perfect way to ease into heated yoga.

Practicing yoga with friends *makes everything more fun*. If you're bringing a friend to class — whether you're using a Friend Pass, a Birthday Drop-In, or just sharing the yoga love — your friend will need to create their own Wellness Living account and register for class ahead of time. When booking, they can simply choose “Pay When You Visit” at checkout. No payment is required to reserve their spot. If you're covering their class with a Friend Pass, just let your teacher know when you check in and present the Friend Pass. If you run into any trouble, feel free to call or text us at 360-626-6031 — we’re always happy to help.

It’s easy to update your payment method in Wellness Living:

4. Enter your card information and save

Thrive is a very beginner-friendly studio! Most of our community is made up of beginner and intermediate students, and our teachers regularly offer modifications so everyone can practice comfortably. If you’re brand new to yoga, these classes are especially welcoming places to start: Gentle Yoga – a supportive introduction to yoga with simple movements, breath awareness, and plenty of props. Range of Motion – a mobility-focused class designed to help you move more easily while learning foundational yoga patterns. Warm Yin – a slow, restorative practice with longer supported stretches that help release tension and improve flexibility. Slow Flow – a relaxed vinyasa class that moves at a spacious, mindful pace.

Many students also enjoy starting with Warm Flow or Hot Flow, where teachers offer clear “Level 1” options throughout the class. If you’re curious about our classic 26 & 2 hot yoga sequence, beginners are absolutely welcome. The sequence itself is very structured and approachable, though the heat can take a little time to get used to. And remember — every class at Thrive includes options and modifications so you can practice at your own pace.

While most Thrive classes are now in-person, we occasionally offer livestream options for students who prefer to practice from home. If you’ve registered for a livestream class, here’s how it works:

​

1. Book your class ahead of time
Please register at least 45 minutes before class begins so your teacher can include you when sending the Zoom link.

​

2. Check your email
About 30 minutes before class, you’ll receive an email with:

• the Zoom link to join class

• the playlist for class

• any props you might want nearby

3. Join class on Zoom
We use Zoom for all livestream classes. If you don’t already have Zoom installed, clicking the class link will prompt you to download it. When you enter the class, please mute your microphone. You’re welcome to leave your camera on or turn it off — whatever feels most comfortable.

​

A quick note about cancellations: 

If you can’t attend a livestream class, feel free to cancel more than 12 hours in advance.

If you need to cancel within 12 hours, please leave your booking in place. Our system can’t distinguish between livestream and in-person reservations, so canceling late may trigger an automatic late-cancel fee. If that happens accidentally, just email us and we’ll happily refund it.

​

Important email setting

To make sure you receive the Zoom link, check your Wellness Living notification settings and ensure you’re subscribed to:

• Schedule and Reminders

• News and Updates

Yes! Thrive has two showers in each locker room (men’s and women’s), so you can rinse off after class and head on with your day. They’re especially convenient if you’re squeezing in a yoga session before work, errands, or an evening out.

Wear comfortable, stretchy clothing that allows you to move easily. Many students practice in yoga pants or shorts with a tank top or t-shirt, and lighter clothing can be especially comfortable in our warm and hot classes.

​

For class, you’ll want to bring:

• A yoga mat
• A mat-length towel (recommended for warm and required for hot classes)
• A water bottle

If you forget anything, no worries — we’ve got you covered.

• Yoga mats available for rent: $2

• Towels available for rent: $3

• Reusable water bottles available for purchase: $3

• Insulated bottles available: $35

You can also fill your bottle with cold, filtered water at the studio.

If you're brand new, arriving ten minutes before class is ideal to allow enough time to check in, set up your mat, and (our fave) maybe squidge in a little pre-class savasana & decompression time. 

Absolutely. Yoga helps build flexibility and strength, so you don’t need to be flexible to start — that’s exactly what the practice helps develop over time. Everyone arrives at yoga with a different body and starting point. At Thrive, our teachers offer plenty of modifications so you can move comfortably and safely while gradually improving your mobility and strength. If you're not feeling especially flexible right now, you're in great company — and you're exactly the kind of person yoga can help.

Take advantage of the ample street parking in the Manette area and steel yourself for, at most, a minute of walking to get to us so you can get your zen on. 

Please do not park in the RK Mart parking lot - they tow! 

Our Member mat storage space is limited, and at the moment, it's fully committed. If you're a Member (Annual or Monthly Unlimited), get on our waitlist for a yoga mat storage spot here! 

First, come with an open mind. No one is an expert the first time they try something new, and everyone in the room once had a first yoga class too. Try not to compare yourself to others — yoga is a personal practice, and the most important thing is simply showing up. Think of your class as a little self-care date with yourself. Take a breath, relax, and enjoy the experience.

​

A few helpful tips for your first visit:

• Arrive 10–15 minutes early so you can get settled and meet your teacher.
• Let the teacher know it’s your first class — they’ll be happy to help you feel comfortable.
• Bring water and comfortable clothing you can move in.
• Eat lightly beforehand (many students prefer not to practice on a full stomach).

Most importantly: have fun and don’t take yourself too seriously! Yoga is a practice — not a performance — and every class is simply another opportunity to learn something new about your body and mind.
