From the reviews

I have been searching for a hot yoga studio for a few years in Santa Cruz , and nothing seemed to live up to what I hoped. Hot Sol Yoga though… I am so excited to practice at this studio! I highly highly highly recommend this place. It’s very welcoming, clean and a great addition to Scotts Valley.

★★★★★ — Erin, Mar 2023

Sol is the best in Santa Cruz County by far. The owners are incredibly friendly and humble. The staff ensures the space is immaculate which is a challenging undertaking given how much you will sweat here.

★★★★★ — Mark, Jan 2025

The best thing that has happened to me in the past 6 months is Sol Yoga. They have cured not only my body aches but my heartache. I feel more comfortable in my own body and they have offered endless words of wisdom that have made me reflect and helped me work through negative feelings that weighed heavily on my soul.

★★★★★ — Lillie, Jan 2025

This is a wonderful studio. Friendliest yoga studio I have ever attended. If I’m running late, Gema will set up my mat and towel. The staff is helpful and informative about injury issues recommending other poses and equipment that will help in the class and recovery.

Your first hot yoga class at Sol Hot 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.
