YO BK: THE MIAMI HOT SPOT TO MAINTAIN STRONG PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH

YO BK is a boutique hot yoga and Pilates fitness studio in the heart of Wynwood, aiming to create an inviting community both in and outside of class all while helping its students reach their fitness goals. 

YO BK’s ethos goes further than providing just an effective workout; their belief is to provide a space where students can take an hour of their day to disconnect, and focus on bettering both their body & mind, all while being surrounded by a welcoming positive atmosphere. Whether a professional yogi or a beginner, YO BK is more than just a fitness studio but truly a space for all and a second home for its students to work on themselves and meet their new best friends. 

Located at the Oasis in Wynwood, YO BK offers a variety of hot yoga classes ranging from Bikram Yoga, Power Vinyasa, and Yang/Yin, along with their most celebrated class – Inferno Hot Pilates (HIIT), ensuring a workout for any type of student. Here to seriously bring the heat, YO BK’s HIIT class is an exciting form of Pilates that is quickly gaining popularity becoming known to be truly a party within a workout with energetic music, club lighting, and a disco ball all within their state-of-the-art infrared heated studio – talk about having fun while breaking a sweat! 

Popular TV also got the chance to gather some great tips and benefits from the Founder Kate Durand on why we should take advantage of the heat this summer and practice hot yoga before those cool months return.  

• Detoxification – sweating aids in cleansing your organs, muscles, and glands. Hot Yoga and Pilates is a great way to start cleansing those pores!

• Heat Acclimation – a regular heated practice will help you adapt and find comfort in extreme temperatures. Through sweat, the body naturally cools itself down.

• Hydration – by learning how to take care of yourself in the heat, you’ll enjoy better hydration all summer. Be sure to drink lots of water and take electrolytes, especially now!

• Greater Range of Motion – in the summer, your body is naturally warmer and more supple than during cooler months. Enjoy this time to lean into your practice and go somewhere new.

• Maintaining Your Practice – if Hot Yoga and Pilates are an important part of your routine, it doesn’t make sense to take a 3-month break from May to August. Keep rocking it out and connecting to your body and your breath.
• Staying in Shape for Summer Activities – there’s no better time for a jog in the park, swimming, or family sports. Hot Yoga and Pilates condition your body and increase stamina, flexibility, and strength.

YO BK offers class packages and/or memberships so the classes can be flexible enough for the busy Miami native yet accessible for those simply visiting the city.
