From the reviews

Yin Yoga at Sumits Hot Yoga is the best therapy to lighten the load of COVID stress! All the Yin instructors are awesome! A shout out to Aimee S. who is so talented and has themed Yin classes. My head, heart and soul are balanced by the end of class. She has great energy! I just wish there were more Yin classes!

Amazing! All of the teachers are fantastic, and the studio is such a great space to do yoga. The sequence stays the same every time, so the more often you come, the easier it gets, and your body will begin to adjust to the heat, too, which is another good reason to come regularly.

★★★★★ — Melissa, Nov 2013

If you're someone that loves heat. This might be the place for you. I used to grudge against yoga in a normal setting but once I tried it in a high heat setting. I began to fall in love with it. It made me feel closer to myself more than ever.

★★★★★ — Batkhuleg, Apr 2025

Although the sequence is essentially the same every time, each teacher has a different energy, musical choice, and their own approach to instructing. They are great about encouraging you to do what you need for your own body and giving multiple levels of challenge for each pose; so you can make it as challenging or as…

Teacher training at Sumits Hot Yoga Columbia

Sumits Hot Yoga Columbia 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 Sumits Hot Yoga Columbia

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.
