Before I share this experience, I want to be clear: I really enjoy Hot 8 Yoga and plan to continue going. I’m an unlimited monthly member and have had many great classes here. Unfortunately, this review is getting one star solely because of Alexa. The experience I had with her was so unnecessarily rude and off-putting that it completely overshadowed everything else. It’s disappointing that one instructor can reflect so poorly on an otherwise great studio—but that’s exactly what happened.

I had heard from several friends that this instructor, Alexa F., was rude, but I went to her class anyways. Unfortunately, their warnings were spot on.

I showed up for a class that I had seen scheduled for 9:30. The front desk staff kindly informed me that the class time had recently been changed to 9:15 and apologized for the confusion. They let me know I’d missed the first 15 minutes but could still join.

When I walked in, Alexa immediately said, “Just so you know, 5 minutes late, maybe 10 is acceptable—but 15 is a bit much,” in a very dismissive tone. I calmly replied that the class was originally listed at 9:30, and she looked at me, deadpan, and said, “No. 9:30,” and then turned and walked away.

I ended up leaving. I don’t come to yoga to be spoken to with attitude, especially over something that wasn’t my fault. Everyone can have a bad day, but this came off more as a pattern than a one time moment. If Alexa is aware of the reputation she’s getting, I hope she takes it seriously and works on being more kind and respectful to...

WOW!!! I can't speak highly enough of Hot 8 Yoga! Practicing here has been a completely transformative experience for me mentally/emotionally and physically. I had never been a yogi before for, honestly, I never found a yoga class that I didn't get bored at. That all changed the first time I went to Hot 8 Yoga. I became addicted after my very first class! It took only a couple of classes for me to get acclimated to the heat but the instructors (whom I did tell I was brand new before class started) were so caring, helpful and informative letting me know what to expect, what to do if the heat is too much, etc. The instructors and staff are beyond terrific and truly care about each and every one of their students as individuals and as a community in sharing the best yoga practice ever! The Santa Monica location feels like a spa beyond a yoga classroom! I have never been a yogi before but Hot 8 Yoga has now made me one. Whether I am having a good day or a bad day, when I leave each practice, my mind and body are in a state of complete euphoria and deep relaxation which I have never experienced anywhere else before. And, the wonders it does to my body! I have several lumbar spine and hip issues which I have had to have regular epidural cortisone shots to help alleviate the pain. Since I started coming to Hot 8 Yoga, a lot of that pain is being relieved naturally now just from their classes. I love Hot 8 Yoga so much and wish I had discovered them a lot...
