Teachers
Meet Monica!
Monica teaches Bikram Yoga and Intermediate Bikram Yoga
When I first stepped into a hot yoga room in 2004, I couldn’t have imagined how profoundly it would change my life. What began as a search for physical healing from a painful back injury became a journey of emotional growth, resilience, and self-transformation. Bikram Yoga, with its simple, powerful structure, taught me patience, courage, and surrender.
As a teacher since 2012, it’s my passion to hold a space where others can experience that same freedom—to breathe deeply, heal naturally, and realize the incredible strength they already carry inside. Yoga is not about achieving perfection; it’s about coming home to yourself, one breath at a time.
Tips to new students: “Be patient, breathe with awareness and let go of expectations”
Meet Xochitl!
Xochilt She teaches Hot Pilates!
"Hi my name is Xochilt “Sochie” the name originates from the Mexican Aztecs. I was born in Jalisco, Mexico, raised by a single mom, came to the states when I was 3 years old and made the best of every moment.
My fitness journey started 11 years ago as I began running half marathons and quickly ran into sciatic issues. My sister, who is a certified yoga student, suggested I take yoga to help with my running.
I found Hot Yoga Claremont Studio and began my yoga practice and was told to try a Pilates class.
The day I took my first Pilates class; I fell in LOVE with the class and structure. I took the teacher training program and since then I have added other Pilates certifications from other studio programs and Versa Climber certification to help me create a dynamic class experience.
The class is truly for ALL levels, I’m motivated every time I show up by the student’s energy and the transformations I have seen through the years.
It’s not where you start those matters, it’s where you finish, life is not a sprint, it’s a marathon, enjoy the journey to be the Best version of yourself and embrace your body with every movement.
Namaste ~ stay beautiful
