From the reviews

I’ve attended bikram, vinyasa, pilates, and yin classes for the past two years. The instructors are friendly, motivational, and meet you at your level. The facilities are clean and there are plenty of lockers.

Spirit Lab Yoga is amazing and definite worth trying! After checking out at least six yoga studios in midtown and downtown, I found the best place to continue my yoga and self-cultivation journey!

★★★★★ — Sylvia, Oct 2025

Hot Yoga is such a great way to stretch and downshift from a busy day. Spirit Lab offers an diverse lineup of hot yoga classes, especially more in the vinyasa flow category rather than traditional Bikram.

★★★★★ — Ron, Feb 2026

This review has been long overdue. I joined the studio on 38th Street 2 years ago and I'm so happy they finally opened this one. I have the unlimited membership and if you go at least 3x a week (I try to go 5x a week) you definitely get your money's worth.

Teacher training at Spirit Lab Studio

Spirit Lab Studio 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 Spirit Lab Studio

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.
