From the reviews
I started my Hot8 journey at the Culver City studio, and it truly holds a special place in my heart. It was the first studio I signed up for, and I loved it so much that I upgraded from a 5-class pass to an unlimited membership. The instructors and community were welcoming, and it felt like my yoga home.
Never in a million years did I think I could actually do hot yoga. Here I am now obsessed with hot yoga sculpt classes! And I feel confident to now explore Hot 8’s other class offerings.
Hot 8 is amazing. The staff is great and super friendly, always greeting you as soon as you walk in, which really sets the tone for the experience. Parking is easy to access with up to two free hours, which is a huge plus. They also offer complimentary cold face towels, which feel so refreshing after class.
“I’ve been going to Hot 8 Yoga and it’s honestly been more than just a workout for me. Yoga has really helped me shift my mindset — I feel more grounded, more patient, and more in tune with myself. The environment is so peaceful, the instructors are supportive, and every class feels like a reset.
Teacher training at Hot 8 Yoga
Hot 8 Yoga 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 Hot 8 Yoga
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 (or rent them here), water, and a change of clothes — there are showers on site; 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.
