I joined this class because it was recommended by my physiotherapist and I haven't looked back since! I love it, I spend time during the day looking forward to practice, unwind before and during practice and then sleep really well. Everyone is really friendly and they can guide and assist you as much or as little as you need/want. I would highly recommend - I feel healthier in my body and mind! Thank you!read more

A perfect space to practice yoga. The studio and facilities are great - the new heaters are very powerful! Ian and Benedita are welcoming and helpful during each class. I have progressed from the low intensity to medium intensity class and can feel my practice improving with every visit. I’m so glad I started practicing as yoga has had a positive impact on my life and I won’t ever stop. Thanks!read more

Not a bad word to say about this place. I've done yoga at my local leisure centre for a few months but this place steps it up! Fun and challenging full body workouts. The teachers are all very knowledgeable and supportive in your practice helping you to go deeper in to your pose. The studio is always lovely and clean too. Doing yoga in heat is an oddly satisfying experience. I think the sweating allows you to let go and focus on the poses more. I look forward to every class and I can't stop telling everyone I meet about this place (and how good yoga is) 😁read more

I had done yoga at home before but this is a whole new level. So much fun and enthusiasm within the classes and both Bene & Ian make the whole experience exciting, and completely comfortable.
Each class is something new and you learn so much. I would highly recommend coming along and joining in. Not only will you feel great but you will have so much fun. Honestly the best class I’ve ever been too! 😊read more

If you want to get out of your head & into your body, explore your mind & body sensations, I recomend that you give In Balance Hot Yoga Studio classes a try. It has changed my life in a lot of ways, it has reduced my stress & anxiety, removed my body pains, turned me into a more mindful person. Above all, it cleared away a very heavy black cloud that was on top of my head and made everything more clear. For that I am very grateful. Bene & Ian are pros and very focused in helping others improving their lifes and focusing on what matters. Give it a try. 🙌😊read more

I was so happy to come across In Balance Hot Yoga when looking for a new yoga studio in Southampton. I hadn't done hot yoga before and was initially nervous, however from the first class Ian and Benedita made me feel more than welcome. There is no pressure in the classes- everyone goes at their own pace and I quickly settled in. I've already noticed a real change in my flexibility, and look forward to how far I can go with In Balance.read more

In Balance Hot Yoga - Fantastic. Well taught, exhilarating, fabulous studio, amazing instructors. You are taken through each movement in a clear precise way with several alternatives catering for all abilities. The heat takes this to another level helping your body move into position. These classes leave you feeling physically worked and mentally peaceful. I absolutely love In Balance Hot Yoga.

I would love to say joining in In Balance Hot Yoga is the most correct decision I had made this year. It is a brilliant and fantastic experience I have ever ever felt in my life. After 12 lessons, I feel I am lighter and more active. I am more confident and I know what I want in my life. I am still in my beginner’s level. I feel there are lots of poses I need to learn, to do and to feel. Half Pigeon pose, Tree pose and Fish pose are the three poses I was not able to do from the beginning. But after watching Top Tips Friday, practicing in classes times by times, they are the three poses I’d love the most. Hot Yoga gives me motivation to do things which I will never ever think about before. A big THANK YOU to you!read more

Benedita and Ian are both very knowledgeable and encouraging teachers. I’ve done quite a few of the All Levels Dynamic class and it’s a great workout. It challenges you to try new things but you can also go at your own pace for what works for your body at the time. The studio space is great as well. I would definitely recommend yogis of all levels to come give it a try! You’ll definitely feel great and accomplished after completing a class!read more

I am just completing an introductory £30 for 15 days at the studio. I haven't done Yoga for years, too many to recall. What I have found is attentive teachers a variety of classes and lovely students, and the studio is just right and warm (sometimes hot). I have decided to take out a years membership and work across the classes to be challenged and work at a lesser pace to challenge and reward myself to a more flexible body and calmer approach to live. Now just need to get my own mat!read more

I've just come back from the hip opener workshop and my body feels amazing. My hip and lower back feels better than it has for a long time. Benedita was great in her delivery of the class, explaining the muscles around the hips we would be concentrating on in a clear concise way. I will be signing up for classes and another workshop soon. Thank you! And thank you to Ian for the coconut energy ball, it was a perfect snack to end the class.read more

Both classes were great, and it's so nice to be able to mix it up and try different styles. The facilities at the new studio are fab and I'm excited to be a part of the community there. Bene and Ian have been brilliant teachers for the 6 months I was going to Harbour Lights so I can't wait to see what the future holds in the new studio. Looking forward to the hip opener workshop on Saturday, eek!read more

The sessions are challenging to a degree but you are encouraged to go at your own pace in a very safe space. It is exhilarating and relaxing at the same time. You’re encouraged to push your boundaries and overcome fears. I’m 51 but in the classes I feel 25 !read more

Warm yoga flow and hot dynamic, both different and enjoyable in their own ways.

I find I am able to practise at home during the week and always enjoy the workout immensely! I can’t wait for the new studio opening in April and the class timetable additions. Thank you and keep doing what you’re doing so brilliantly ❤️read more

An amazingly friendly environment with a variety of classes to suit all yogis. I've practised various styles of yoga in different countries and studios over the years - there's definitely something special about Benedita and Ian's studio. I'm more aware about my body after each session and I really like how they correct your posture - to be honest I always felt intimidated by teachers correcting me until now. Highly recommended!read more

You cannot do yoga. Yoga is your natural state. What you can do are yoga exercises, which may reveal to you where you are resisting your natural state.
The teachers are all so nice and create such a lovely atmosphere.
They are very attentive and kind to you, correcting your poses to improve.
IBHY is highly recommended for everyone.read more
