Went there for the first time and they made me buy expensive water. I had forgotten my water bottle and even said I'd be fine, but they told me I was obligated to buy it. I thought that was pretty ridiculous, especially for a first-time visit, it felt very unwelcoming. read more

90 dollars for two people to take a mediocre yoga class? No thank you. We are from out of town, it was our first time to the studio, and we needed to rent a mat and they insisted on us renting a mat towel (apparently this was necessary despite my partner not usually needing one during hot yoga - and she didn't end up using it). We have practiced for almost a decade and this was absolutely the most overpriced and mediocre class we've taken across the world! Each prop was hospitably offered to us, only for us to realize that each item they offered us cost us 5/10 more dollars. if I would've accepted their kind offer of blocks or straps to use during the class, it would've been a hundred dollar yoga class! Not to mention the teacher was incredibly difficult to hear over the music (which I must say was fire- only reason I'm giving two stars) . For the price of the class, I would've loved at least a hands on adjustment or two, more audible cues, a more imaginative flow, or perhaps a spa treatment!!! I think they are less interested in providing a challenging, interesting yoga experience than taking peoples money. But, good for them, they seem to be doing quite well. read more

Love this studio! The staff and teachers are so welcoming and friendly. I love how nurturing and supportive the teachers are. You can tell they really care about your experience. So glad I found this loving little oasis. What a gift! And it's a great workout! read more

Hot House Yoga is a five-star studio. I love the classes! So much so that I just learned that I am a black member, meaning I have been a member for almost 20 years! But I had a bad experience today. As I was checking in, I informed the instructor that I had to leave when the class began the pigeon pose. (Father's Day) He gave me a frustrated look, so I asked if that was okay. His response was, "Well, they are your hips, you can do what you want with them." I took that negative response into my practice. When I was ready to leave, he opened the door for me and I said "Thank you." I hoped he would smile, but he looked as frustrated as he did when I talked with him before class. I had to leave class early before, and whenever I informed the instructor, the instructor always responded, "Thank you for letting me know." read more

Not satisfied with the customer service. got a phone call less than an hour prior to class demanding that I arrive 30/20min early. I let her know that unfortunately that would not work for me as I was walking into an appointment. I was less than a 5min drive away and I would be arriving in time for class. The woman on the phone told me that she would HAVE to rush my tour due to policy. It is unfortunate that they could not accommodate a tour after class if the tour was truly important to this establishment. A good place to practice yoga never feels like a sales pitch. Very strict policies deserve to be noted in the sign up area of MINDBODY app (which was not mentioned). Very rude and unwilling to show grace. A potential new member to this practice simply pushed away because they fail to put experience and customer happiness before a policy which is not all that serious if we are emphasizing a tour. The way the policy is being practiced... it can hurt more than gain for this establishment. Especially when utilized in the manner the woman on the phone executed it. In my opinion being in the wellness/luxury retail sector this policy has much opportunity to be revised and retrained for optimal satisfaction of both the business owner and MOST importantly the client experience! xoxo a concerned yogi read more

I really enjoyed my first class. It didn't seem Difficult for being not being a yoga person. They had a candle light session which felt really relaxing and helped with concentration. I am excited to try t again. read more

Simply the best group of yoga professionals. They are so helpful guiding the first time visitor to hot yoga. The facility is well maintained with showers and locker room for men and women. If you forget any yoga supplies they have them along with a variety of drinks to hydrate you. If you are thinking about trying hot yoga don't pass the up. The schedules are online and easy to access. The candlelight sessions are very relaxing. read more

I really enjoyed the yoga session- a friend allowed me to try 3 sessions for $3 from their membership. Leaving the yoga room, dripping in sweat, I was greeted with, "We need to know what you want to do." It just put a bad taste in my mouth being pressured to purchase a membership after my very first class. read more

I can't say enough great things about Hot House Yoga. I've been practicing here for the past year and have felt like part of the HHY family ever since starting. All the teachers hold at least a 200hr RYT certification, many holding 500hr certs. The heating system is state of the art, best I've experienced in a hot yoga studio. The cork floors are cleaner (and softer) than wood. Some hot studios have strange odors, which is not the case with HHY. There are classes to meet all levels of practice, all in the Hatha/vinyasa style. There are 60, 75, and 90 minute classes, as well as 45 minute beginner classes. They just opened up their third studio up in Richmond in early 2012, and I've had the pleasure of going to each of their studios, to include the Virginia Beach studio on Laskin Road. HHY offers teacher training, as well as several workshops and classes. Pros: Mat towels for use Shower towels Plastic bags for wet clothing, please recycle Q-tips Mouthwash Mint Lifesavers Lockers with keys clothing/mat/towel sales, including Lululemon, Prana, and Manduka Cons: Men's changing/shower room is small, gets pretty crowded between classes read more

Hot House Yoga changed my life. This might sound silly to some, but it was both a physically and mentally transformative experience for me. It filled a need that I had for both a particular type of workout and at the same time gave me some mental peace when I needed it. The staff and facilities work hand in hand to create an environment which is accepting, nurturing, and a place for growth and change. Everyone that I have dealt with is incredibly kind and ready to help the instant you have a question. I never felt the etiquette to be offensive. Rather it strikes me as a sincere effort to create a peaceful environment for all users with gentle reminders to speak softly, turn off cell phones, and allow users at the end of class to enjoy their moment of zen on the mats. Physically - Intense, euphoric, and empowering. In the two years that I've been practicing there, I've rarely not been challenged. I have preferences on the more intense teachers, but each one has a unique style and I think they attract students with like intentions. Wendy is my favorite! If you're new, particularly if you've never had a yoga class, definitely take the beginner series. They've also introduced a "warm" yoga class for beginners as well. If you're ready to push it - the 90 minute classes are hard work, but worth it. On days when I am not feeling up to the longer class or don't have time, I take the 60 minute hot yoga class. They also offer Vinyasa flow classes, which I haven't tried, but I'm looking forward to trying one soon! read more

I've always enjoyed hot yoga and I'm so glad to have found Hot House. We are only in town for about a month and they luckily had a special for $50 for your first month of unlimited yoga, we gladly jumped at that opportunity (considering it's normally $150). Pros: Provide "yogitoes" , sweat towels and showering towels The bathrooms are very nice, clean and new Many cubbies for people's gear 5 showers in the women's locker room They sell Lululemon gear A warm and inviting feel Both hot yoga and vinyasa classes Cons: Not a lot of room in locker room or near cubbies Sometime classes have an over abundance of people Only provide a few "warm" classes for beginners (One warm Vinyasa/week) Tips: Get there early and lay out your mat HYDRATE! (not just durning class, but well before) Keep quiet in the yoga room Try out different instructors- some you will like more than others Don't eat about two hours before class, especially not anything heavy! read more

Every class I have taken has been truly enjoyable! Some days you have 90 minutes in ya, some days 60 is all you can handle. I love this flexibility as well as the diversity of classes in a hot room. Plenty of class time availability which I love, never knowing just how long (or short) my work day may be! This is my go-to studio when I'm in town for work! read more

Hot House Yoga is an incredible place. Mind, Spirit and especially body are the focus of the two locations, one in Hilltop, the other in Ghent. I was fortunate enough to receive an unlimited year of hot yoga at Hot House and wish it had been much, much longer. Hot Yoga takes regular yoga to the parking lot and kicks butt every time. If you can deal with 98 degree heat, then this is the greatest detox and work out imaginable. There are plenty of classes in the weekly schedule, each with knowledgeable and capable instructors. It's said that if they like you, or maybe it's more like if they give you an 'A' for effort, they will walk on your feet during child's pose. Best foot massage ever. Some classes at the most conventionally convenient times get packed, but they have a cut off so that you won't be too overly packed. Both facilities are impeccably clean. I typically won't set foot anywhere near a locker room shower, but the showers at Hot House are always spotless and freshly cleaned. Whether for a week or for a year, Hot House is the place to get your om on and is a good investment because it truly is an investment into yourself. read more

Hot House Yoga - New Ghent Location! - Yoga Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I love, love, love Hot House Yoga. The owners and staff have such a wonderful, supportive, encouraging energy. You feel more centered and relaxed just walking in the door. The facility was always very nice but it was a little cramped until they bought the unit next door and expanded with a second studio. There is also one in Norfolk now. There are a variety of classes (including some that are not heated) for all levels. The only reason I don't take hot yoga more is the cost. Ten to 15 bucks per class is pretty standard in the industry (at least around here). I want someone to start a non-profit yoga center for poor folks. Anyone? read more

Great place to work up a sweat, calm the mind, and get limber at the same time! I love it!!

PROS: - Clean, well-run facility with great amenities (i.e. showers, free use of yoga towels, etc.) - Rigorous, challenging classes that leave you feeling invigorated. - There's not a cliquey or intimidating vibe here like at some other studios in the area. (Also, a bonus for me personally is that they don't get too "spiritual" or preachy... most instructors keep things fairly no nonsense). CONS: - Little to no variation in the class structure; so unless you're a stickler for routine, you might get bored with the repetition. - Classes can definitely get crammed, especially in their smaller room. You gotta arrive early to snag a decent spot. read more

This was my first and last experience at this establishment. I took a 60 minute class and not only did my instructor seem rude and impatient but the mirrors were incredibly dirty. Kimberly did not seem to possess the patience to teach beginners. I am no die hard yogi by any means but I thought this would be a great fit for me. I was beyond wrong. If you attend this location try to stay away from taking Kimberlys class. read more

If I still lived in Virgina Beach, I would be here EVERYDAY! I love this place. After trying out hot yoga places every where else, even in NY, this is still the best Hot Yoga House I've ever been to. Their instructors are great, and they've expanded to Norfolk, in the ghent area. read more

Loved this place. We usually go to the one in Norfolk (which is also GREAT) but due to timing went to a class in VB. This studio is smaller but still a great space with excellent instructors. I always have a good practice and love the style of instruction that Hot House does, makes it easy for a beginner like me. read more

Very friendly and lovely environment. The staff is helpful and welcoming. My very first experience was awesome and that being said I'll be coming back for more. Hot yoga was relaxing and be aware you will be soaked afterward and bring plenty of water. Regardless of your skill level you can join the class, and Instructor is helpful with guiding you on different positions. Great place! read more

I love this place! I've been a member off and on for about 4 years-I've tried other studios but always end up back here! The studio is always clean, the staff friendly and the instructors are great! They offer a lot of classes as early as 6 AM and as late as 7:30 PM weekdays. As a bonus, they have a studio in Norfolk close to work! read more

LOVE Hot House Yoga. I always feel welcomed because the staff members are so sweet. I feel comfortable asking any questions, the place is clean and I love that they provide you with towels. I purchased the unlimited yearly membership on my second visit and have not been disappointed, with the discounts offered, and ability to bring friends, it's been lovely. read more

I love everything about hot house, wonderful environment Very clean studio. Huge variety of practices that are more then worth your money's worth. But most of all the friendly and wonderful staff. In fact two people that stand out to me are Peggy and Becky both have went above and beyond numerous times to always make sure I'm taking care of. Good staff really goes a long way. Only thing is It has been crowded Because of a lot of New Years resolutions. But because of how accepting and comforting Becky and Peggy are to me I will continue my membership! read more

I was in town visiting family and wanted to practice hot yoga while I was in Virginia. I am so happy that I went here! I purchased a "vacation" deal, which is $49 for the week. Classes are $20 to drop in so this was a great deal. I attended both Hot Flow and Hot Stability. I thought that both of the classes were challenging and great for beginning to advanced yogis. I loved the instructors that I had- especially Carla and Sky. The yoga studios are gorgeous, I loved the lighting and the decor in the room. I also loved the music they played during class. The staff was exceptionally friendly also. I am seriously terrible sad that I can't take this studio back to Ann Arbor with me! I will definitely be practicing here every time I am visiting my family in Virginia Beach! read more

I am a Board Certified Sports Physical Therapist with Special Operations and I give HHY my strongest recommendations. Using yoga has been a unique key to the success of many of the patients/operators we work with. Whether you are coming off an injury, trying to stay injury free or just looking for a more balanced approach, the team at HHY is extremely capable. Nothing negative. Keep up the great work! read more

I would say it is the best work-out if not for the snotty instructor that seems to always have something to say about his yoga "etiquette." Other studios where I have taken classes are much more friendly and realize that I am paying them to come to their studio, not the other way around. Lighten up, Hot House Yoga!!! Provide good yoga practice, but realize that we are supporting you, so support us! read more

I recently started attending Hot House Yoga and I love it! I've practiced Hot yoga and Bikram yoga before, so I was familiar with the practice before trying hour house. What I like about hot house that sets it apart from most studios is the variations of classes offered. It's a great place for someone to start out that wants to ease into becoming familiar with the room temperatures, because they offer 45-minute sessions, 60-minute sessions, 75-minute sessions and then 90-minute session. As you can see this helps to gradually work your way into the longer classes. In addition, the staff are very friendly and welcoming and the studio is clean and comforting. read more

Started for all the wrong reasons and have been a loyal practicing yogi for over 5+ years! Yoga makes everything better

Very clean! Such an amazing and relaxing experience. Pricy like most hot yoga studios but worth every penny.

Always a great place, the staff is knowledgeable and helpful! The rooms are quiet and clean. The towel service is excellent! The rooms are crowded but it is managed well by instructor. Instructors are helpful in your practice, bring you blocks, towels etc... as needed! Highly recommend this yoga studio over any other in the area. read more

I really enjoy the care and attention to detail at this yoga studio, just wish it was closer to the beach. Love the sacred space that they have created in their yoga rooms (no talking allowed), really creates a mellow, relaxing atmosphere. Love the consistent hour classes with predictable stability practice gets me in and out in a flash! read more

I have been practicing yoga with this group for many years. I cannot overstate how professional, kind, and helpful all the staff is. The rooms are designed to not smell bad even with many sweating bodies. No matter what your size, age, or athletic abilities are I would strongly recommend you come try hot yoga with them and see what you think. I have joint issues and every time I practice it helps me become more flexible. read more

Just started going to Hot House Yoga and already love it!! The teachers are excellent and very friendly. They are always helpful when I have questions. The facility is clean and the woman's locker room is really nice! I love going to yoga here. read more

This has been a safe haven for me for the last 6 years! Thank you for this little slice of peace in a somewhat hectic crazy world! You all are the best! read more

I have only taken a few classes here but I am really enjoying it. The teachers are great and every class offers something different. I don't see myself getting bored anytime soon. Another great perk is they sell lululemon clothing and that is my all time favorite yoga attire. I see myself taking many more classes here and maybe even making it my yoga home. read more

Hot House Yoga is amazing, I absolutely love it. Whether you have an hour or longer, the feeling you have once you leave is absolutely calm, zen. It's a true total body workout and stretch, but the mental health benefits are priceless. All the teachers are very knowledgeable and extremely nice. read more

Terrible customer service at this place. Been coming for years when I visit my parents in Virginia Beach. Besides being outrageous in price compared to most yoga studios they have way too many people working behind the desk and take forever to check people in. For those of us driving a half hour to get to class we don't feel like hearing about the persons vacation in front of us while everyone else checks in. I literally stood there for 10 minutes after signing in to be told that the class I drove for closed out. I watched 6-8 other people arrive after me and check in to the class I was told was too full! (four girls behind desk did not even know the schedule) This is an expensive service and it should be expedited to check people in faster like other studios. Now I am looking for a new place to practice to avoid the lousy business practices these guys keep demonstrating. If they are going to copy the corporate model of core power and other expensive chain yoga studios, they should at least provide the same great customer service. I practice every day and was really frustrated the last few times my wife and I attended classes here. I sure hope things improve for hot house yoga. Not many other options in Virginia Beach. read more
