From the reviews

I love Heatwise and understand where some criticism is coming from, but the good outweighs the bad for me. There are several drawbacks, such as the lack of showers, changing areas, and stalls, but this is NYC. We make the most of what we have, right? Heatwise has to the best of their ability.

★★★★★ — Desira, Feb 2024

Heatwise is great. I went for the first time and experienced the candlelit hot yoga class- Monday 8pm. The instructor was perfect. She gave guidance and made space for us to just be if needed. The classroom is a decent size and there were not too many people. The overall space is small. One bathroom, no showers.

★★★★☆ — Jasmine, Aug 2022

Great place for hot yoga. Friendly staff and helpful instructors. 5 stars all the way . People need to understand prices went up on everything, so stop complaining about the prices. Plus, they have 3 locations you can go to.

★★★★★ — Nasir, Nov 2023

Heatwise Park Slope absolutely rules! All of the teachers are so amazing and uniquely different in their classes. Playlists so great that I seek them out on Spotify. Attentive, kind, challenging, and thoughtful - whatever you’re looking for you will find it here.

Teacher training at Heatwise

Heatwise comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming an instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — most hot-yoga trainings are Yoga Alliance registered (RYT-200 or RYT-500), and the style matters: a Bikram or hot-power lineage trains differently than a hot-vinyasa or sculpt one. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — cohorts often run in intensive weekend blocks or over several months, and many studios want you practicing regularly there first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.

Your first hot yoga class at Heatwise

Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
