Upon entering Mojo Hot Yoga Studio, one is instantly greeted by an amiable staff member and a calming lavender-esque aroma. Located on 908 Rolling Hills in Fayetteville, the studio offers yoga instruction from a wide array of teachers various times throughout the week. The schedule includes morning and evening hour-long classes and can be accessed at mojohotyogastudio.com.

Mojo is reasonably priced and offers multiple payment options. New students may sample a class from each teacher free of charge. Attendance in subsequent sessions are $10 per class. Monthly packages are also available beginning at $45 per month and are more economical than paying per lesson.

My experience with Mojo was extremely positive. I found the atmosphere to be quite serene and the classes to be inventive. I attended evening classes led by two different instructors, Brent and Erica. Each teacher had a unique approach to instructing and provided classes that promoted different aspects of yoga.

Brent’s instructing was candid and relaxed. His class was comprised of intense stretching followed by advanced core balances and was marked by student vocal involvement, slight humor, and focus on alignment. The class left me aware and rejuvenated.

In contrast, Erica’s class was a bit more vigorous and included more cardio inducing sun salutations in addition to arduous balancing poses. The class was set to an eclectic folksy playlist and ended with a calming meditation segment.

Both classes were suitable for beginning or experienced yogis. I would definitely recommend Mojo to anyone looking to develop their practice or in search of a relaxing outlet.
