Our Story

Alec & Sophia Medeiros have both been practicing Hot Yoga for over 10 years.  Opening GHY is extra special for them, as they met as students and fell in love in the hot room at the former Bikram Yoga Glastonbury in 2012.  

They developed their practice there for several years and made many friendships with their wonderful teachers and yogis in the community.  In 2016 they moved to South Florida where they were part of another amazing yoga family at Prana Bodyworks in Ft. Lauderdale. At Prana, they were able to hone in on their yoga practice and get experience teaching and practicing with so many skilled yogis for the past 5 years. 

Alec did a 500 hour teacher training through Urban Bliss Yoga at Prana Bodyworks.  He is certified in the Bikram series, Yin yoga and Vinyasa yoga.

Sophia received her 200 hour teacher certification in 2020 through Evolation Yoga in Santa Barbara, CA and is certified in the Bikram series and Yin Yoga. 

In 2021, they decided to move back to CT and open Glastonbury Hot Yoga in the community where they met. They feel honored and privileged to be able to provide this yoga to the community and connect with so many wonderful yogis, spreading the love!
