Sweatfluence, Old Saybrook

I've been attending classes at Saybrook Soul Sweat for about a year now, and it truly is a special place, both for the practice and the people! Most recently, I had the privilege of joining their 2025 Costa Rica Yoga Retreat, and it was absolutely magical. The accommodations (highly recommend a daily hammock nap!) were beautiful and comfy, the food was delicious, and the excursions were thoughtfully planned. It was clear the trip was planned with love. The teachers—Courtney, Holly, and Meg—were amazing, bringing so much knowledge and warmth to the experience. What made it even more special was the chance to connect with fellow yogis in a way that isn't always possible in class. We had such a wonderful group, and I know this won’t be my last Soul Sweat retreat! Thank you, Courtney, for creating such a beautiful community :)

Such an amazing studio and overall friendly staff and great service. Absolutely LOVE taking Carolyn's classes - she's an amazing instructor who incorporates such unique sequences into her routines. She also goes out of her way to connect with her students and make everyone feel welcome which just heightens the sense of community in her classes. Thank you!

I’ve been coming here for hot yoga for a few years now. I’m about to hit my 400th class. It has changed my mental outlook and my physical body for the better. My totally honest story is that the first time I came I hated it. It was so uncomfortably hot and challenging. I told the friend who brought me some not very nice things and that I was “never going back”. Well... I found my way back. I signed up for some extra workshops to learn basics and breath work. The instructors were very supportive and non-judgmental as I found my footing. I got stronger and I became able to tolerate more heat and more challenge as the classes racked up. I still find it very hot and very challenging, but I’m super inspired by all the amazing instructors and other students here. People of all levels are welcomed and accommodated. They always have killer playlists to keep you motivated. The studio could not be cleaner. For how sweaty we get - it never ever smells bad at all when you walk in here...quite the opposite in fact. I love the simple decor and soft lighting. There are no distractions in the studio or weird murals on the walls. The effect is calming in this chaotic over-stimulating world. The focus is on your practice. It’s addictive in the very best way.
