The styles they teach
“Some of my favorite instructors and classes include: Hot Power Fusion/Strength with Filip: He was very accommodating when I mentioned it was my first strength training class.”
“At the Koreatown location, Jin’s Yoga Sculpt classes are amazing.”
What's on offer
“The studio is always clean and a good space for the bathrooms which is important to me since I go to class during working hours and need to shower after.”
“I do wish there were more than one hair dryer in the women’s locker room, and it would be great if the unlimited monthly plan included more than one guest pass per month.”
“Free parking, easy to access via public transit, instructors are great!”

From the reviews
Recently hot 8 has shifted away from more traditional yoga styles to sculpt and strength. I know they are popular. They have had sculpt and barre for a while but now it seems like that’s every class available. There are SO MANY of them now, at the best times. It’s just not my thing.
When I started doing Hot 8 Yoga, I honestly had no idea what i was getting myself into. I gave it a try thanks to my dear friend Chelsey and it was a little challenging at first, but as I started participating more, I enjoyed it in all it's special ways! 15 classes in now and I feel like yoga has become my safe place.
I love hot8! Been to a few different hot yoga studios and Hot8 is by far my favorite. The ktown location is great especially for how busy ktown is in general. Studios are larger than some of the other hot8 locations which I like.
I’ve been going to HOT 8 Yoga for about 2 months now and honestly it’s become one of my favorite parts of the week. At the Koreatown location, Jin’s Yoga Sculpt classes are amazing.
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.
