I tried this yoga studio for a week with a friend, and we both loved it. The classes had a pretty good flow every instructor brought their own style and level of challenge, which made each session feel fresh. Even the weekday classes before 4 PM were either pretty full or completely full. The studio itself is clean and well maintained. Just a heads-up : the showers are group-style (there's one for women, and I assume one for men), so no individual shower stalls. There are only a few toilets and the changing space is quite small, so it can get a little crowded before and after class. Overall, though, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this studio to anyone looking for quality yoga classes and great instructors. The price, atmosphere and teaching make it totally worth it! read more

I've been a member for 11 months, almost a year! This place and yoga has been TRANSFORMATIVE for me. I joined July 2024 and have not looked back. I have locked in at their yearly rate, it has been a great investment. I initially thought that yoga could help with my flexibility, but it's been more than that. The mental and physical evolution has been instrumental to my health. I've gain so much confidence to the point where I now take showers with all the yogis after class! I remember seeing the showers early on and was, oh no, I can't do open showers without any curtains. This place has been so welcoming and non judgmental. I feel seen and respected here. The atmosphere is amazing, encouraging and professional. I think I've taken classes with the majority of the teachers at the studio. They each have their own style which is what I love. They are always willing and eager to help and answer any questions. The bathroom and showers are always clean. The studio is large and I love the wall of windows in the back. Of course during the summer it can get steamy in the room but the sunlight after a nice session is always a wonderful gift! I would recommend this place for anyone who is considering trying Yoga classes! They also host different events throughout the year. read more

Hot Yoga Renton - Yoga Near Me - Renton, Washington

A true gem in Renton! The yoga room is big with plenty of space for lots of guests, and everything is super clean. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I did the 30-day new member trial and really enjoyed the classes, they're great for all levels. I'm a beginner and survived just fine! Be warned though it does get HOT, you will leave a puddle. Definitely recommend! read more

Updated to 5 stars the parking is much better now I also forgot to mention in my previous review that there are additional classes offered including sound baths, meditations, kids events, events for parents, IV therapy. It is a widely inclusively studio. I recommend them to everyone. read more

Best instructors ever! They're all super friendly and try to get to know your name They also will discuss poses and improvement after class. A great facility, easy to get a hot shower after the yoga. And they have their own very big parking lot. The annual deal for all you can yoga is great because it brings the cost down and provides incentive to do it because after the fee it's no cost at all. read more

I absolutely love practicing at Hot Yoga Renton! I've been there for over a year and love the instructors, the vibe, and the space. It's also super affordable and the value is above and beyond! read more

Great experience as a first timer. Went with a friend who had a free guess pass. The instructor was very open to us going at a pace that we are comfortable with individually and her program was quite easy to follow even as a beginner. Class is diverse, there are beginners to those who are more advanced/goes there routinely. Even though I just laid flat the whole time in the heat, the atmosphere was relaxing. Was a fun quick stop! read more

I love hot yoga Renton! I love how the vibe is relaxed, not pretentious like other hot yoga studios. It's spacious, has a locker room with showers and a fairly large waiting/personal belongings storage area for the amount of clients. The teachers are super friendly and very helpful. I've been coming off and on for a few years via Classpass but they have a membership and drop in options too. They have a water fountain in the waiting area and plenty of props for your needs. Can get pretty packed so come early and grab your spot. The parking lot is right but has plenty of space. There is also street parking near by as well. read more

I've tried other yoga studios but this is definitely my favorite! I've been coming here for over a year and enjoy taking the yin yoga classes by Mary. I think what makes Mary's classes unique is the meditation element she adds to it. It's a nice way to de-stress after a long day at work. I also find that the pace and temperature of yin is best for me. Have recommended this studio to my friends. read more

The teachers are friendly and knowledgeable. Location is convenient with decent amount of parking. The major negative is it's not always hot yoga. Not all teachers have a hot room. Some are lukewarm and some teachers prop the doors open which leaves the room very cold. It's very frustrating when you pay for "Hot Yoga" and the room is cold with doors left open. But not all teachers do that. You have to coordinate your schedule to find the teachers who have the room hot and avoid the others. read more

I have been coming to this studio for years even before they moved to this location from around the block. With all do respect and appreciation for offering hot yoga.... I have a few complaints but will continue to come despite my opinions. First off, the showers are cold. You might get 15 seconds of warm (not hot) water and then as more showers come on, it dissipates and all the showers are cold. Now in Spring and Summer I wouldn't mind as much but when it's winter, it's nice to take a hot shower after doing warm yoga.... which brings me to my next point. Secondly, I feel the studio isn't as hot as it used to be. In general, I don't get the sweating that I did years ago and feel they try to cater to new students so they tone down the temp as not to scare them off. Thirdly, they implemented this 24 hour window to cancel a booked reservation. If you cancel class within this 24 hour window, then you'll be charged for that class. Why? What's the reason for this.... only to get money out of you regardless? There's no reason to charge someone who cancels class especially if someone else has taken the spot. If someone books a class and is a no show, then definitely charge them but don't punish your students and basically nickel and dime them. read more

I just love this place! I come here using ClassPass and they have excellent pricing. I always leave feeling better than when I walked in, and the instructors/staff are always very kind. Thank you! read more

Always have a great time at Hot Yoga Renton. Atmosphere is great, staff are nice too.

The instructors here have no compassion towards students. I have neck issues and have to do certain postures to mitigate that. They would not allow that. The instructor here are rude, lack any flexibility, nor understanding or compassion towards students. They are so prideful that "I am your boss. I can tell you to do anything!" read more

Music is so not yoga style, impossible to get deep in to meditation, place is not clean , and instructor's dont make feeling like they care at all ! No connection with students at all read more

Life Changing!! I have has chronic back pain for 2 years with MRIs, x-rays, Physical therapists, acupuncture, and chiropractor. This month I missed my Hot Yoga sessions and developed 7/10 back pain that was affecting every part of my life. I went to Cecilia's class today and left with 3/10 back pain. Now it has been 5 hours since the class and I have barely any back pain. THANK YOU Cecilia!! You helped me gain my sanity and function back after just 1 hour of your yoga teaching. Clean, massive studio with respectful students and teachers. I will continue to renew my annual membership read more

The Bikram Yoga College of India in Renton is one of the best I've been to in the northwest! The new studio (which opened in January of 2010), is located on the top floor of a cute brick building in downtown Renton. The studio is big, has lots of natural light with big floor to ceiling surrounding windows, and best of all has great instructors that always make you glad you made it to class. I am a big fan of this studio, and I definitely recommend you check it out! There is plenty of lot and street parking, and a ton of classes to accommodate my busy schedule. read more

Clean facility, well thought out classes. In general, this place really deserves 5 stars. Minus 2 stars for when they do not put a limit on class size and we are packed in like sardines unable to even do a warrior two pose. Somehow, this doesn't feel safe or legal even if they don't turn anyone away. Put a cap on classes, if people really want to take a class, they will grab a class time, if not they will grab another day or class time. It is extremely uncomfortable and irritating to be thisclose to 5 people around you. It's hard to focus on breathing and the practice when you are worried about about mindful and not sticking a foot or your butt in the person next to you. This problem extends to parking already being tight and not being able to get a spot even a few blocks away. If you do not put a cap on class, people can't find a spot, they should get that class reservation back. read more

I have been coming here for a few months now and my body is slowly adjusting. I am not an exercise guru or yogi, but I have been enjoying going to the different types of classes. The office staff is friendly and the facilities are clean. I recently went to an evening class at 8 pm and found it to be a little loud. The people walking in were not respecting the quiet or the attempting relaxation of the others in the room. The music was also a bit loud to where the instructor had to talk louder. I found it distracting. That is the only downside I have found so far. They have a handy schedule online that shows the times, type of class and instructor. read more

Hot Yoga Renton - Yoga Near Me - Renton, Washington

Haven't been here in forever but was reminded by email of my experience which was horrible. Yoga is amazing if you have a studio with the energy that is a fit for you and instructor that cares. This Bikram hot was NOT what I wanted at ALL. Getting yelled at poses from a instructor on a mic on a box. Made me feel like it was a yoga boot camp instructor. Also the thing that rubbed me wrong in the WORST way was I reached down for water about 45 mins into a 90 min session. When I did the instructor told me we get water as a UNIT over the mic (embarrassing me). Especially that this was my first time there. This was not comfortable to me at all. Finally I had enough of trying to wait as a unit and reached again and the instructor said I guess we can take a break since people are so THIRSTY. The class began to look around toward me. I swear it was a movie!!! Never wanted to be this person who wrote a crazy long negative review. However being in the healthcare field myself. If I didn't I would be allowing someone else to suffer as I did. No one should ever follow anyone else's body for water. Your body is your guide listen to it!!! If you are dehydrated in a hot yoga studio that's packed and don't you could be risking yourself for a session. That's just crazy! All for team building but this was NOT the way yoga was meant for me. read more

Safe, large, clean studio that requires masks and checks vaccine status. Great offerings, nice teachers and wide variety of classes to choose from. I prefer the vinyasa or the 6am classes with Jaina. The traditional Bikram isn't my jam, but some people love it. My new go-to studio. Very grateful! read more

I'm not usually one for yoga and the thought of a confined studio with a bunch of other people was somewhat intimidating to me, however, I'm glad I gave it a shot as it's actually a really low key place with great instructors and overall great atmosphere. They offer several classes through the day which helps fit my busy schedule and I think their different pricing plans are a good idea as I am not able to make good use of a fully monthly membership some months out of the year. Really like they have rental equipment as it's saved me after forgetting a yoga mat or a towel a time or two. Overall I've had a super positive experience with this place. read more

I've been going to this studio 2 - 3 times per week since last February and have to give it kudos. I chose the bargain $500 unlimited annual pass. They are moving to a new location in Renton on November 1, with no interruption in service. It promises to be larger with better shower facilities. Cheers for making these improvements. The instructors are all dedicated, helpful, encouraging, and inspiring. Each has a different style of teaching, and you'll need to find those who resonate best with you. I find it easy to go into a meditative state while practicing because they are very consistent about how they deliver their instructions to us. The attention you get also depends on the size of the class. Heidi is my absolute favorite but there are many things to love about each and every instructor. I also love the diversity here. All shapes and sizes. Both genders well represented. Lots of commaraderie and respect for one another's focus during sessions. To address the issue of smell and carpets and heat that other reviewers mentioned: carpet is necessary because sweat makes hardwood floors very slippery, and dangerous. Seems to me any Bikram studio would have carpet. The smell comes with the fact that folks are sweating for 1.5 hours in 105 degree heat. It's the smell of fitness, and you'll find it at any gym. Get over it. Go to an early class where the room hasn't already been used for half the day. The instructors try to monitor the heat and humidity more closely these days so as not to burn us all out. Hurray for that. They took that advice directly from the weeklong sessions they attended with Bikram himself this year. As I said, these folks are dedicated. You can become dedicated too. No excuses about lighting, carpet, etc. Just get in there and work it. Your body and your future will thank you. read more

I love the teachers, however I am completely disappointed in their owner and handling our latest experience. Both my husband and myself were on the $599 annual membership (unlimited classes), and we were up for renewal in July 2022. We were trying to get pregnant, so my husband went into the studio and asked prior to renewing my membership if we could pause my membership due to pregnancy, and the teacher replied 'yes' - I would just need to inform them when I do. My husband signed the renewal (not realizing it's a contract), and in a few months time (November 2022), we found out we were expecting. The teacher at the front told my husband I needed to contact the owner, so I did. The owner declined my request to pause my annual membership due to pregnancy. She emailed me back and informed me that 'I had signed the contract stating there is no pause for any reason even pregnancy - that's why this membership offered is so low.' The owner mentioned that other pregnant members have asked to do the same and that is how she keeps it "fair for everyone". I replied and explained the situation fully, requesting her to honor our request to pause and look into this as he signed under a false pretense. Overall, her responses back clearly indicated that she did not attempt to look into it but rather state "all my teachers are aware of this policy" & "this has never happened before". Before I replied, I contacted surrounding studios and each one mentioned they have clauses and accommodations for women to pause memberships due to pregnancy. The owner at Hot Yoga Renton mentioned that 'if I was unhappy with my choice of the annual membership', she would offer to credit my account $74, and recommended I switch to $75 auto-monthly which I could use the credit on my return instead. However, the owner stated this choice would mean I would lose the opportunity to continue the $599 in the future. The only time they pause memberships due to pregnancy are auto-monthly or if you spend $1200 for their full-price annual unlimited. Heartbroken that I would have to spend an additional $599 at the end of July (just as we are delivering) but would still have to wait at least 6-8 weeks to be medically cleared before using my membership. Ultimately, I would be away from my practice for 10 months by then. I will not be returning to this studio under her ownership. Lesson learned here - read the fine print. Fair for everyone? Pregnancy discrimination is still alive here. read more

GET THERE SUPER EARLY!!! They have a sparking lot but every single spot was full so I had to park four blocks away (closest parking) drove around for fifteen minutes trying to find a spot and showed up five minuets late because of it, door was locked and they don't let you in. Would have been helpful to know this in advance especially after driving forty five minutes to get there. read more

Have been to a few classes during the middle of the day during the week in the morning/afternoons. Have been great!... however the last two classes I've tried to go (on a weekend and week night) the class is over filled and literally no parking. The first time I got there pretty early and walked into the studio to find a spot, literally just walked straight out because there was absolutely no room. Second time got there on time but no parking to be found (likely due to packed class). Thankfully I called, and the women at the front desk let me get my class back on my account. I feel this studio needs to start counting and limiting the number of people in their classes. Somethin needs to change. Otherwise great classes and yoga instructors. read more

I moved to Renton in February and was enjoying taking hot yoga at HYR until it got shut down due to the pandemic. I'm looking forward rejoining the classes once things get back to our new normal. read more

Got a Groupon for 30 days. Been coming about twice a week for two weeks now and it's great. The room is very large and fits quite a bit of people. If you're new or a first timer, place yourself towards the center of the room, as the positions can have you face in any direction and you want someone in front of you to follow. Because of the large room, it does make the acoustic difficult to hear the positions. Note- place can smell like b.o. but it is expected so I ain't mad. read more

Good location & Great instructors. Also I love their do-it-at-your-own-pace way of teaching. I do not feel pressure from peers or instructors. Also, I love they always have late-hour classes, starting 8 or 8:30PM. This is perfect time because I can help my son to get ready to go to sleep before the class. read more

I'm so glad I found this place. A legit hot yoga studio with the proper floors and heating elements. Not a studio w/ hard wood floors and space heaters like I've come across in the past. Super clean and plenty of space. Nice locker rooms and storage for your belongings. Also, plenty of parking in the lot for yogis. Best part: the cold towel with essential oils after all that work in a hot room when you're in your final shavasana. Online scheduling tool makes it easy to pick a time/class. Knowledgeable instructors offer a range of classes. They also have a family one often that I've done with my son, who is 4. It's a little rowdy and I wish it was more relaxing, but what can you expect w/ kids. My only negative is the schedule. There's a big chunk of every day that doesn't have any classes available. And this would be the time I'd be most available to go. Other than that, great deals and worth it! read more

What started as a groupon has turned into a love affair! I mean that figuratively, of course. But I cannot recommend this place enough. Before Hot Yoga Renton I practiced maybe 4 times a year, now I visit 4 times a week, sometimes twice a day (once for the mind, once for the body). My girl and I, on our ever present mission to live clean and healthy (wine being the exception) bought a groupon for this place, it expires this week and we are both converting to full on memberships. This place is great, the staff is awesome, the studio is clean and inviting, the vast variety of classes they offer gives you the opportunity to improve yourself mentally as much as it does physically. Whether you want to get a work out that makes your abs scream, or you want to find balance after a hectic day, you will find the class that suits your needs here. Lastly I will say this: I had been really hesitant to do hot yoga again, I went once and the smell was so off-putting that I could not focus on anything but the offense of my senses. Hot Yoga Renton, from the moment you walk in smells wonderful, the floors and space are impeccably clean, and the studio itself is immaculate with a flooring that does not absorb or retain any kind of odor. So if you're leery of trying hot yoga for that reason then rest assured your senses are safe here. read more

My new addictions is yoga. Hot yoga in Renton provides excellent customer service and work out! I got a groupon to try it out and haven't been disappointed. Will definitely buy some sort of packages when my Groupon expires. It does help me mentally, physically, and emotionally. read more

I've been to hot yoga places all over this year and this one is pretty great but could improve a bit. The schedule I find to be great and they offer a wide range of times which is wonderful. However I've taken a few of the Bikram based classes and a few of the instructors really struggle to shorten a typically 90 min class into a 60 or 75 min time frame so you find the end of the class very rushed. A few of them also get a little overwhelmed if there's more than one or two new students in the class which stinks because you need to be able to teach in a way that speaks to all levels. The temperature in the hot room is usually spot on, clean and it's one of the biggest studio I've practiced in which is great. The locker rooms are usually kept very clean as is the studio as a whole. The staff is friendly and available to ask questions but consistency in their answers sometimes varies which is weird. I was asking questions about prices after my groupon was over and the two staff members seemed to both have different answers which was unfortunate because I really wanted to keep practicing at this studio. The instructors also sometimes forget to tell people leave the room quietly so people have no consideration for others enjoying their last few minutes which stinks and takes a lot of self control to tune that out. And the best part is the cold face cloth at the end, which I REALLY look forward to and love to enjoy! Overall I think its a lovely studio that just needs a few tweaks to step it up and make it top notch! read more

Their last class on Saturday is at 12:30. At 6:30 on a Saturday they called tow trucks to tow every single car in their lot that is supporting the neighboring businesses. Way to be a community supporter. I will never visit this establishment because of their actions toward their neighboring businesses. read more

I like it here a lot. The studio is clean and has plenty of mirrors and space. The parking can be challenging if you are running late, best to prepare to not be last minute arrival! I wish the teachers would end and begin class with an OM and that it was a bit hotter, or I would give 5 stars. read more

It was my second time in the studio last night, Monday 8/8/16, for 8:30p class. I was running right on time for class. When I tried to enter, a person very rudely told me I needed to take off my shoes. There are no signs, nor did any one give me a tour of the studio my first time in (the previous day) or talk about studio policies or practices. Rather than disarming the situation, the instructor chimed in with a similar manner. Then in class, there was very little demonstration. I have taken years of Vinyasa flow style yoga, but this slower method is newer to me. Besides not being able to clear my mind from the way I was "greeted," I also felt I had very little guidance in class. I ended up getting so frustrated that I just left early, and I now regret purchasing a 30 day unlimited groupon to check out the studio. read more

I have been blown away by not only the Bikram practice, but by how wonderful my experience has been so far with the Renton studio. I was very nervous because I was inflexible and out of shape. The instructors are sincere, genuine and truly care about the students. They constantly encourage us to take breaks and to apply the mental strength and focus of bikram to other aspects of your life. I have found a "calmness" in stressful situations just through my breathing exercises. Overall, I'm lucky to have found a place that I feel comfortable and constantly keeps me challenging myself in my practice. read more
