This is genuinely beyond a doubt the worst yoga studio I have ever been to, not because of the…read morefacilities but because of the staff and instructor's complete lack of awareness. The entire time I was at the studio and after, I felt like the staff was hounding me to commit to a membership. While I get that it's normal for fitness studios to reach out for post-class feedback, Ritual Hot Yoga exhausted my patience with their incessant texts and emails. I was literally getting spammed with notifications. Apart from the incompetent administrative staff, the class was delivered at such a rapid pace using esoteric jargon rather than industry standard terminology that I could not keep up and transition quickly enough, and the instructor failed to check on me throughout class. Also, since the room was really dark, it was difficult to see and copy others' movements, and the instructor walked around and often stood at the back of the room instead of demonstrating the movements at the front of the class. Worst class ever. I left Ritual Hot Yoga feeling like I hadn't worked out at all despite it being a hot class, so I immediately went to the gym afterwords to get in an actual workout. Ritual Hot Yoga wasted both my time and money. I will never return and have de-influenced my friends from coming here.

I have been in San Francisco for two years and have tried out a few places in the community but wasn't able to find a place that I felt like an extension of my personal practice, until I came to folk. the selection of class types is expansive, and each teacher i've been guided by have reconnected me with different parts of my own practice I had felt distance with. Roy helped me smile with my playful side again, Justin has led me back to flowing with the cyclical nature of life, and Audrey's presence and instruction has become a light in the lantern i carry towards my deepest healing (Roy's pigeon coo as well). I am so grateful each time I walk up and down the stone path beside Nopa studio, the people are kind, and I have felt safe in whatever energy I enter with.... and that energy always feels better as I leave. Also shoutout Katherine at the desk!! Big fan of you!

There is really a sense of community and it is welcoming to new students. The classes are generally challenging but doable for most levels and I like that the flow is relatively predictable so you can catch on. The class is warm and friendly, allowing you to voice what you wanna focus on without being 'too strict.' Yoga mat are available to rent for $3 and you can store your mat at the studio if you're a member as well.

Not sure what the other classes are like but this was taught by Rick, like an ashtanga style class for 60 minutes and a few of the hardest moves removed. Still a tough class and most poses and done twice. The temperature of the room was 108F, widely attended with around 24 students. 40% of them left around 15 minutes before the class ended. Yes, it's hot and it feels good. Yes you feel like you're going to die. But you'll feel so alive afterwards. Rick is a great teacher and provider clearly and timely guidance. A plus is the lush garden view in the window. If I come to SF, this is a must. I didn't bring yoga mat due to traveling, I recommend to bring a towel to sweat on. The floors are the soft martial art type floors. Love Body Temp Yoga!

I looked up hot pilates and body temp seems to be one of the very VERY few places to offer hot mat pilates in SF. I booked my first class with Patty and ever since I've been locked in. Patty's flow is smooth and challenging. She offers modifications and compliments when we most need it. The studio is small and there is only 1 class happening at a time. They have changing rooms and they also have 1 bathroom but no showers so be ready to baby wipe your self if you have work afterwards or go home to shower because you will be hot and sweaty after. (I hope this review does not make it challenging for me to book Patty's classes ah!! Patty if you'r reading this, I am shy and would like to hear more hip hop songs lol)

That said, I wasn't a big fan of the carpeted floors, as they don't seem the easiest to keep clean. My biggest takeaway, though, is that the class didn't really feel like Pilates. To me, Pilates is more about slow, controlled movements, intentional engagement, and strength-focused work. This class felt more like a series of random movements that didn't align much with that style. It leaned heavily into cardio, felt repetitive at times, and wasn't very engaging. It was also extremely hot, and there was a noticeable, somewhat unpleasant smell in the room.
