NEW STUDENT SPECIALS

Update: Thank you very much for taking the time to look into my experience and for taking meaningful action to address it. I truly appreciate your thoughtful response and the refund, and I’m glad to know that my feedback was heard and taken seriously. I’ve updated my rating from 1 star to 4 stars to reflect how much I appreciate the way the studio responded and handled the situation. Thank you again for your professionalism and follow-up. Below is my original post: I had an extremely disappointing experience at the Bellevue studio today (Spe 3, 2026). I registered for the 12 PM class and arrived around 11:40 AM. I had practiced at this studio regularly in the past, so I was genuinely looking forward to coming back. After checking in and paying the $35 drop-in fee, I entered the studio and waited for class to begin. A staff member approached me about having my phone in the room. I completely understand and respect a no-phone policy. However, I was not comfortable leaving an expensive personal item outside because the studio did not appear to have a secure, functional locker system. My phone was already in airplane mode, wrapped inside my T-shirt, and stored inside my bag. I was not using it, it was not visible, and I had no intention of taking it out during class. What bothered me was not the policy itself, but how the situation was handled. The staff member became unnecessarily confrontational and eventually walked away saying loudly, “Suit yourself. Do whatever you want,” in front of the other students. There were only a few people in the room, which made the interaction especially uncomfortable. Another student actually approached me afterward to ask what had happened and encouraged me to stay. At that point, however, I no longer felt comfortable practicing there, so I left before the class started. As I was leaving, the same staff member was at the front desk but made no attempt to clarify the situation or resolve it. Again, I have no issue with a studio having a no-phone policy. But if customers are expected to leave valuables outside the studio, there should be a secure way to store them. More importantly, policies can be enforced respectfully and professionally. This was especially disappointing because I had enjoyed this studio in the past. Unfortunately, today's experience made me feel uncomfortable enough to leave before class even began.

Love Hot Yoga Inc. I am a newbie at Hot Yoga and saw the 10 class for $10 offer one day when driving by. I tried the trial and love this place with the first service interaction. I have been practicing for the past 6-7 weeks regularly. Once I set up the account, I got detailed instructions on what to do and how to go about getting ready for the class – this prepared me for what to expect for my first class. For my first class (Hatha), I got there 15-20 before the class start time and Emilie is amazing in helping me navigate my anxiety, finding a spot for me – someone who has never done hot yoga (somewhere in the room where it is not too hot) as well as supported me in my practice as I have a knee experiencing joint pains. Love my first session and all subsequent sessions as well. All the instructors are amazing. They are super professional and challenge the students to push themselves hard to hold each of the poses. The facilities is wonderful and all the other practitioner are also very friendly. I personally feel that even though I was doing some Physical Therapy for my knee, doing hot yoga is just the total package to increase strength, all joints and range of motion. So glad that Hot Yoga is here.

This place is where my hot yoga journey started!!! 2008 I went to my first yoga class and here is the new Bellevue location finally open closer to home! I’m so grateful to have HYI back closer to me!!! Amazing teachers, heat and classes!!! Come check it out!!!

This is a review only of Yoga Sculpt – other classes may very well be a better fit for me. Yoga sculpt isn't yoga in any way, shape or form. It's a bootcamp style class that is for some reason heated. The heat comes from specific units on the floor, so if you're near them it will be hot enough that you cannot keep your hand on the wooden floor. There were a couple of exercises where you needed to put your hands on the floor outside of the width of the mat, and I couldn't keep them there due to the heat. In general, the benefit of heat in yoga is that it can raise your heartbeat and allow you to stretch deeper into your poses. The sculpt yoga is just interval training with essentially zero stretching components. For that reason, the heat element makes little to no sense to me. You could get the same workout at room temperature; you'd just be able to do more reps/weight. There's only so much energy you can exert and doing HIIT at high temperature just reduces your performance in terms of reps,form and weight. My biggest complaint about the class is it appears to offer a lot of risk for injury. There were about 20 participants and one instructor. The idea is to make it very difficult. To a point, that's fine. However, looking around the room, 75% of participants were getting through the workout using improper form. When you push yourself to the point that you're sacrificing form, injuries occur. Rushed weight lifting, exceeding the bounds of what participants in your class can do, doesn't lead to long term success. It leads to people taking the class and seeing great gains for a bit, then having a huge setback due to injury. The instructor, Ryan, felt the need to emphasize that this was the easiest version of his class. This might motivate some people. For me when I'm trying to my best and dripping with sweat, this just came across as insulting and condescending. In general, I didn't like this class. However, it is a popular class and so I understand some people will like it a lot. The customer service department reached out to me with a nice e-mail addressing my concerns, and for that I changed my review from 1 star to 2 stars. I appreciate the fact that they care about the experience and appeared to legitimately listen to concerns. They also didn't ask me to change my review, just reached out to address concerns. Ryan, the instructor, communicated via customer service that it was the slowest pace boot camp he's ever run. That may very well be, but I maintain the opinion the vast majority of people were doing the workout incompletely with poor form. If that's the easy version of the class, then it should be adjusted to achieve results without risking injury. I did not like that customer service responded to my comment that the class was leading to poor form by most of the participants by saying "Ryan said it's the slowest class he's ever lead". That's not really relevant and a weird argument/response to my critique.

I love its knowledgeable hot yoga instructors!

I started the $10 for 10 days package this week after recently moving here from out of state. After searching online several times, I finally found this studio, and I’m so glad I did! I’ve been practicing hot yoga for over 10 years, and it has always been an important part of my workout routine. This is honestly one of the best studios I’ve ever practiced at. On my first day, Emilie was very welcoming and showed me around. She also explained that we could safely store our valuables in secured lockers, which I really appreciated. The studio has a great atmosphere, and the instructors are wonderful. I had such a positive experience and will definitely be coming back to enjoy more classes. Highly recommend!

The best studio and the best instructors. Kind, clean, and offers a great schedule in a beautiful room with open space. Best yoga class and studio I’ve been to. The owner is extremely thoughtful and kind. The classes are excellent.

No place like home!

So happy Hot Yoga Inc of Bellevue is back. First class back and I was immediately in love with the new space and of course Linda. There is nothing that puts me in a better mood than hot yoga. Looking forward to getting my daily practice going again. Odd there is review about the price and a scam- I mean it’s 10 classes for $10- seems like a pretty decent price to try the place and if you don’t like it don’t practice there- your only out 10 bucks.

The staff is terrific. Every instructor is first rate. Both the staff and the students are supportive of all members. I am new to yoga and you can tell! But everyone is supportive, friendly and helpful. I cannot recommend Hot Yoga highly enough. An excellent experience each time.

I absolutely love going to this studio. All the teachers are kind, encouraging, incredibly knowledgeable, and patient with all their students. I always leave feeling rejuvenated and proud of myself. I’m very grateful to have found this yoga studio, and I love what it’s done for my overall health. Bring plenty of water! When they say hot yoga, they mean HOT yoga!

Hot Yoga Inc. has become a daily staple in my health and wellness routine with great instructors and a flexible schedule I highly recommend joining up and becoming part of the Hot Yoga Inc family !

The studio is clean, spacious, and easy to park at, located near Mercer Slough Park — a wonderfully tranquil setting. Almost all the instructors are great in their own ways, and I always learn something new in each practice. It keeps me coming back to take classes whenever I have time.

The best yoga studio in the PNW, and beyond. Clean, super hot, and the best teachers. Thr community of people is an added bonus as well.

Linda and the amazing teachers and helpers at Hot Yoga Inc have been so inspirational to us. We’ve been members for a multitude of years, always welcomed, always learning and always discovering ourselves with each and every class. We truly feel the addictive personal benefits of hot yoga and its healthy energy – never just exercise but rather our time to reflect, relax and breathe. Dave and Beth

Amazing instructors and the best place for yoga practice. Love it!

A great yoga studio: dedicated teachers with diverse background to learn from; The owner teaches classes herself, did a great job creating a welcoming and uplifting community; very reasonable price, flexible cancellation policy. Highly recommend.

Love HYI.🔥🔥🔥 Excellent teachers, students, staff and studio. There is intentional focus on keeping the space clean and pristine, a quality and practice that is most appreciated. Highly recommended. 🙏
