From the reviews

I highly recommend going and experiencing hot yoga at Lotus Yoga. It has been over a decade since I’ve done any organized yoga, but Lotus made it feel like hardly any time had passed at all. I’ve only gone once so far, but I’m already planning my next visit.

From the second you walk into Lotus you feel the warmth- both literally and figuratively. The rooms are warm and the staff is warmer! After a time or two they all greet you by name. Blindly attended my first Pilates class knowing nothing about what to expect.

This is such a top tier yoga studio, the best in Athens - the cleanliness, the low toxic enhancements, the instructors, the variety of classes, I have no complaints. And best of all, they have child watch!! Both of the ladies that watch the kids are fabulous.

★★★★★ — Kaylee, Mar 2025

I LOVE lotus yoga. I’ve participated in multiple hot power classes and it is the perfect mix of challenging and relaxing. When they give you the cold lavender towel at the end of class, that’s a personal favorite! My flexibility and strength has increased in the last few months I’ve been going. Thank you, lotus!

Your first hot yoga class at Lotus Movement

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 to around ~92°F, 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.
