Hot Yoga Los Angeles — Local services in Los Angeles

I loved this studio. I used to live down the street and took classes there frequently before Covid. I loved it so much I drove from Hollywood to MDR to attend a class today. Its LA, there is traffic. I pull into the parking lot at 4:27pm, just before a 4:30 class. There is no parking. It is the start of rush hour on Washington Blvd. If you pull into the parking lot with a large car, you need to back out to exit the way you came in because there is a chain that prevents you from exiting the other way. So I pull out my car but have to wait for traffic to let me back out onto the street. I then have to go all the way around the block, through side streets, to park on the street next to the studio. I park, run to the door to find it locked at 4:33pm. I knock, nothing. I run to the front but the shades are drawn, nothing. The Restaurant valet guy said if it’s locked, they won’t let you in. WTH?!? There is another woman pulling in to the parking lot as I walk back to my car. She asked if it’s locked and I said yes. Disappointed, we both leave. I understand not wanting to disturb anyone’s practice. I understand we shouldn’t hold the class back. I understand studios are struggling. But PEOPLE are struggling too. We aren’t perfect. Can’t control traffic or the weather, or how long a call is going to go overtime as part of growing pains of working remote during a pandemic. Just as we grant you grace and patience for being short staffed, grant us grace and patience as we navigate this slow crawl out of a pandemic. Im not asking for you to hold them open all through out, but I don’t think it being Los Angeles is unreasonable to ask for 5 minutes. Even the most responsible people, time management masters run a few late because of traffic, or calls, or something unexpected. I’m gonna wait around to see if I can join the 6pm class but geez this...

Very rude owner. My fiancé and I accidentally parked in her lot, thinking it was for the dance studio next door (given it is literally attached to it) and within 10 min, she towed BOTH of our cars the day before our wedding.

When we approached her kindly, she said “come back in an hour” so we waited outside, and when we came back and asked if she could waive the fees (given it will cost us over 1k and neither of us have a car) she told us no, and that she didn’t want to lose business with the tow company. (Still something I don’t understand here).

We are getting married tomorrow with no car and 1k deep in fees when we truly had no idea we weren’t able to park in this lot. Given too, the lot was completely open, so there was no need to tow in the first place as there was plenty of room for people to park. She was clearly just going after us.

Very disappointing to see a business owner take advantage of innocent people, and honestly, it says a lot about who she is as a person. That said, just know this is the type of...

The yoga classes here are great, and the community is welcoming in general. However, their billing system is not properly handled and you should be very aware when signing up for monthly recurrent memberships. We signed up for a membership for three months. At the fourth month, when I was planning to cancel, I received a message from the system stating that the business have locked me in for six months. In addition, all emails to their listed contact methods: info@hotyogalosangeles.com and billing@hotyogalosangeles.com received absolutely no response. I had to ask a crew member to speak with the owner. She replied to me once, paused my access to the classes, but never refunded me the overcharged amount! The first conversation happened in October 2024. Now in January 2025, this remained resolved and I am still struggling to reach out on a daily basis, with no response. This has been very frustrating and stressful. Please think carefully before signing anything with them. I would consider file for...
