★★★★★ — Ericka, May 2025

I have practice yoga for 20 years at studios in both New York City and Los Angeles. Shiva is unique because it focuses on the ancient art and magic of yoga. It is an intimate atmosphere while also offering an extensive schedule of practices.

★★★★★ — Paige, Oct 2025

Shiva Yoga is truly the best and most authentic Yoga Studio I have come across in LA. There are many different styles to choose from and they have classes all the way from beginner to advanced. All the teachers are very qualified and each has a different a unique style while still staying true to the practice.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Sep 2025

The Vibe: A philosophy-rooted, music-free, fire-building flow. You will find your breath, internal heat, focus, and community energy. The Studio: You walk up the stairs and immediately feel like you are in an urban sanctuary above the city.

Teacher training at Shiva Yoga

Shiva 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 Shiva 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, 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.
