About this directory

HotYogaStudios.org is an independent directory of 3,286 hot yoga studios across 51 US states — the independent studios, the boutique brands, and the national chains like CorePower where you can actually step into a heated room and sweat.

It's built for people at every stage of the practice: the nervous first-timer who wants a studio that's kind to beginners, the experienced yogi comparing Bikram against hot vinyasa or sculpt, the person shopping intro offers and memberships, and the aspiring teacher researching teacher training. Their questions are always the same — how hot is the room, and how is it heated? is it beginner-friendly? is there a free first class or intro offer? what's the drop-in price and membership? mat and towel rental, showers, ClassPass? do they run teacher training?

How we verify what a studio actually offers — the part that makes this site useful. A studio's category listing can't tell you whether the room is really infrared, whether beginners are genuinely welcomed, or whether that "free first class" is real, so we don't take the listing's word for it. We mine two sources of evidence for every studio: the studio's own website (when it describes its heat, its styles, its intro offer, its teacher training, or its amenities in its own words) and thousands of public student reviews, where people say what actually happened in the room. When a listing says "infrared" or "free first class," someone confirmed it in a review or the studio proved it on its own site. The same mining backs everything else we badge: the styles taught (Bikram, hot vinyasa, sculpt, infrared and the rest — with the reviewer's own quote as proof), who's beginner-friendly, who runs teacher training, who takes ClassPass, who has showers and mat rental. Badges require evidence, not self-reporting — which also means the counts are floors, and they grow as our crawls continue.

Listings are compiled from public map and business data, then filtered to genuine hot yoga — no cold-only yoga studios, no gyms without a heated room, no lesson-only fitness services. We re-crawl the dataset on a rolling basis to catch closures and new openings.

Our "best of" rankings are computed from Google ratings weighted by review volume — no studio can pay for a placement or a rank. Every studio page links to the studio's own website and schedule when it has one, and any price or temperature mentions are always presented as approximate, because schedules and pricing change faster than any directory can track. Always check the studio's own schedule before your first visit.

A note on safety: hot yoga is intense, and heated practice has real contraindications (pregnancy, heart conditions, and more). Nothing on this site is medical advice — if you're new to the heat or have a health concern, check with a doctor first.

If you own a studio and want a correction — hours, address, styles, amenities, or a listing that shouldn't be here — email hello@hotyogastudios.org and we'll fix it in the next refresh.
