Home Studio Hot Yoga — Local services in Los Angeles

Honestly aghast at what I experienced in this studio. I don't really mind if staff is polite or welcoming to new students, and as long as I feel challenged/expanded in my practice, I'm happy. However, not only were they passive and dismissive to someone who has literally never been there and knows where nothing is, the single Bikram 26+2 class I took was not difficult, unless you count having to breathe in a practice room that smells like a boiling boot part of the challenge. You could assume that I'm exaggerating, but please, be my guest and visit the space. It felt unsanitary and I was discouraged to take regular inhales.

Besides that, the instructor seemed ignorant and unfocused. In my 10 years of practicing vinyasa, I have never done such a random (and inconsequential) sequence of positions. There was no flow, no preparation for harder commencing positions, and no actual explanation of how to properly achieve the form. She was also a bit dictatorial about it. Like, if I don't want to follow your instructions, I'm by under no contract to continue doing what you're asking of me, and to assume (and say) that the reason I have stopped is because the position was too hard is just funny. I stopped doing what wasn't supportive of my practice. I saw tons of people falling out of intermediate positions because they were being given cryptic explanations of how to achieve them, which (besides being essentially unable to breathe) kept irritating me. If we had strengthened foundational transitions, I doubt this would be happening to what seemed like class regulars.

My friend does like this place and asked me to join her, so I mistakenly got a two-week trial. I personally have no interest in returning, and I would give my two-weeks to another friend that lives down the street, but I can in no good conscious send anyone here. I'm never straying from my beloved studio again (One Life Yoga! I LOVE you!!). Really. If I could give this place ZERO...

This is the best yoga studio franchise in Los Angeles. The practitioners are highly skilled, genuine, compassionate, and strive to bring out the best in you each and every class.

It truly feels like home and is a safe space where you will feel nurtured, supported, loved, and comfortable as you deepen your yoga practice both on and off the mat.

I especially love the diverse class schedule and offerings, affordable rate, nearby complimentary parking, and onsite amenities.

The studio offers cold plunging as one of the membership perks, at no additional cost, and doing plunges has been transformative and healing for me.

Additionally, if you are into hot pilates or curious, this studio has several diverse and impactful options that range from old school pilates to hot inferno. All of which will challenge, sculpt, strengthen, and transform you with regular practice.

There are also workshops and intensives offered that focus on specific techniques and healing during solstice, new moons, etc that are uplifting, enriching, and great for energetic release and renewal.

Finally, it is an inclusive environment and I cannot stress enough how the vibes will uplift you and contribute to your physical, mental, and spiritual healing and well being.

Highly...

I walked into Fire Hot Yoga last August knowing nothing about yoga, hot yoga or 26/2 and they took me in from that starting point. Unexpectedly, my life began an amazing new journey. After practicing a month at Fire, my entire outlook had brightened — I exuded positivity. Physically, my lower back pain and stiffness from scoliosis and osteoarthritis was gone… is still GONE. It’s crazy that my practicing this yoga fixed what doctors had previously told me was a chronic condition and had set me on a lifetime course of taking anti-inflammatory drugs and pain meds. Now I am happily drug-free and feel great. Yes, this sounds like I’m piling onto the mystical claims people attribute to yoga. But somehow it works and I still marvel at how amazing my body feels every day! Seriously, thank you.

Fire is a community. That’s one of the coolest takeaways from my time there. I walked in alone and left with cherished friends and memories. It’s just a pretty...
