Virginia Beach's first
hot yoga studio.
We lead empowering hot yoga classes that build real strength in your body and clarity in your mind, so you can show up fully in your life.
Hot Vinyasa, Hot 8, Hot Pilates, Ignite, Movement Lab, Everyday Movement, and Yin Yoga — there is something for everyone.
It's your time to try hot yoga.
Start TodayWhen you move your body with intention, stagnant energy begins to move, space is created, and possibility is born.
We are human beings, not human doings. This practice gives you permission to simply be — exactly where you are, exactly as you are. We create the conditions for the kind of honesty that most people say is the rarest thing they have ever given themselves.
Transformation doesn't happen in a single moment. It is what happens quietly, over time, when you keep showing up. Your body will grow stronger, your mind will settle, and you will become the most empowered, fullest version of yourself.
Ready to feel it for yourself? Find a class that works for you and show up.

Nicolette is an artist, herbalist, Human Design guide, mother, and teacher who has spent years studying the deeper connections between the body, the mind, and how we move through the world.
She built Studio 8 because she knows what this practice can do — not just physically, but in the way it changes how you carry yourself, how you handle challenge, and how you show up in your own life.
That knowing lives in everything here, from the way the studio is curated, how students are welcomed, to the herbal teas and lavender towels waiting for you after class.
Our studio is heated with intention and perfected with controlled humidity and an air purification system that deepens the practice, increases circulation, and detoxes the body.
The floor is solid bamboo — eco-friendly, naturally antimicrobial, beautiful underfoot, and absorbs shock to protect your joints.
Thoughtfully prepared for you after every class, our lavender-infused towels provide a sensory reset that enhances final rest and deepens the integration period.
In the lobby, organic mineral-rich herbal tea made with raspberry leaf, nettle, and hibiscus is ready for you to take at your own pace. Intentionally formulated by Nicolette to replenish the body after the sweat and detox.
The air is purified and diffused with handcrafted essential oil blends — notes of lemongrass and eucalyptus — made to ground the body, focus the mind, and clear the respiratory tract.
Showers available after every class. Cleaned with eco-friendly products, because what we put in and on our bodies matters.
We believe this space should be genuinely separate from the outside world, which is why phones stay outside and every class is curated with the intention of deepening your focus. When you are fully here, without the pull of everything else, that is when change becomes possible.
We believe every person has their own purpose, and we do not ask you to conform to someone else's version of the practice. Our teachers bring their own voice, music, and creative intelligence to every class, rooted in Satya, the yogic principle of truthfulness, because we believe the most important thing you can do on the mat is be honest about who you are.
We believe the body's intelligence surpasses the mind, and that most people have spent years living too far from it. This practice quiets the noise, turns attention inward, and lets the body move, strengthen, and release in the way it already knows how.
We believe real results come from consistency, not intensity, and that a practice which compounds quietly over time produces something no single class ever could. Stronger muscles, better mobility, a clearer mind, deeper sleep — these are what showing up regularly actually looks like.
We believe in real yoga taught by real teachers, with honest attention to the roots of the practice and equal regard for the physical work and the inner work. The two are not separate here.
We believe a sanctuary is a space that feels like it was made for you, and every detail at Studio 8 is chosen with that in mind. Local art, essential oils, herbal tea, and cool lavender towels after class — this is a beautiful, intentional space where you are genuinely welcomed, and where you belong.
8
Eight is not an arbitrary name. In yoga philosophy and spiritual tradition, the number carries a depth that shapes everything we do here.
The Eight Limbs
Patanjali's Ashtanga — the eight-limbed path — is the backbone of classical yoga. Asana, the physical practice, is only one of the eight. Studio 8 honors the whole path, not just the postures.
The Bridge
8 represents the balance between the spiritual world and the material one — the axis where the infinite meets the physical. Yoga has always lived in that space. Not purely body, not purely spirit. The place where the two meet and do their work together.
Infinity & Cycles
Turned on its side, 8 becomes ∞ — the mathematical symbol for infinity. Limitless possibilities. Timelessness. Boundless energy. Every return to the mat is a new cycle beginning, and within that loop there is no ceiling. This practice does not run out of places to take you.
