Hot yoga has been a part of my lifestyle for over two decades, and have been to different studios throughout the Bay Area, Bali and Thailand. I have never had an unpleasant experience from fellow students, teachers or management, until now. I had been to Hot Yoga Plus Seacliff with my last attendance In June 2022. Over the past six months, I have received offers from Groupon to repurchase a two weeks or one month pass. Groupon also stated that I could purchase this deal an "unlimited number of times". See the picture. The instructor checked into class. About three hours later, to my surprise, I received an email from Seacliff informing me they were rejecting my Groupon and I owed for the class. I immediately replied and shared screenshots of my Groupon offer an invitation to repurchase. Instead of going back and forth, I informed them I would request a refund and not attend any more classes. After six days and their investigation, Groupon offered me a refund. A few hours later, I received a text message from Seacliff informing me I owed for two classes. It has now become petty and not so surprising, unprofessional, which I refuse to engage.

If you buy a class card (which is no deal!) they only give you a short amount of time to use the class card up, and they usually will not let you extend that time (without a fight with the owner).

The bathrooms are inadequate with only one shower and no lockers to put away your valuables 4. The teachers give you a bad time if you leave the room (which is not safe considering the room is well over 110 degrees). 5. If you are even one minute late, tough luck, you are locked out.
If you want great instruction and good prices, try one of the numerous studios in San Francisco, unless you have to find a studio in the Richmond. I love Funky Door, but there are many studios to choose from, so...

My experience yesterday it Was the room,it’s really super hot I felt that it was way overheated and I fell very nauseous I have to step out after 30 minutes , and I could not make myself back in the room so I had to leave . and I’m still recovering with so much pressure in my head, I’m not coming back but everybody’s there, is very professional very welcoming and plus you have to wear masks which is completely understandable :-) but with overheating room with your mouth and nose covered, for me it was impossible to breed, and you know yoga is all about breathing. But like I said, troll disasters that I do the Bikram yoga that room it was way too hot but everybody it was wonderful I do recommend the place but...
