I tried this place for a Sober October Challenge with a bunch of friends doing it at other places. Instruction is straightforward but I always end up just trying to copy the person next to me. Thank goodness I haven't received any "hey stop looking at me" comments. Location does not provide any mats, towels or blocks so you have to rent them or bring your own. I want to ask the owners if I can just buy the blocks and donate it to their pile so I can use it when I go there. I am not used to carrying all this yoga stuff but the mat rentals add up to a cost of the mat in a few classes. I am currently nursing a herniated disc in my neck and some shoulder issues. I had pain for the past 5 months. I went to two different physical therapists and 2 doctors. Two weeks into going to Hot Yoga a few times a week. I woke up one day feeling almost normal. My pain isn't gone completely and there are moments during class that my neck acts up so much that I can't stay still but I must admit it was worth it. read more

I'm a regular here and the classes are excellent. I particularly love Tomoko and David's classes. It's a great community and I always leave feeling great. Highly recommend! Be sure to bring a water bottle and towel cause you're definitely going to sweat! read more

they never pickup the phone. That's not good for business. If people have a question someone should answer. Can't tell if they're open or not read more

I didn't find my experience there very welcoming to beginners. I've been practicing for over two years off and on. Pandemic hits I'm off for 2 years, had a knee replace within that time. I I register online told staff I was a beginner and had knee issues. No one greeted me with a tour or overview of where things are lockers, bathrooms etc. forget about my knee issue, instructor gave me no attention to my knee. Facilities not that great. read more

I cant say I'm a hot yoga person since I have only done it a couple of times. Its very hard work and just staying in that room for a whole hour is a challenge for me. However you feel amazing afterwards. This place didn't stink as much as others I been to (all hot yoga places stink since you cant help from sweating) and everyone who worked here was really nice. read more

Admittedly, I have no point of reference, as this is the only Bikram/Hot Yoga studio I've been to. Having said that, I have always had a great experience there. Rather than go into all the deets about hot yoga itself, let me just give my highlights of this studio: *Favorite instructors: Tomoko, Laura, and Steven. Go see Steven if you want comic relief during your session --- the dude is funny. Tomoko and Laura are both great --- very encouraging, and even in a larger class, they both give some individual attention. *As mentioned in other reviews, there is a wall of cubby holes to store your stuff, plus a few changing rooms, one shower, and two restrooms. I live in walking distance, so I've never used the shower. Bathrooms are clean. *The yoga room is also very clean, and odorless. If going for an evening class, go early enough (about 30-40 min) to get a spot. It does get pretty tight, but overall manageable. Afternoon classes (both weekday and weekend) tend to be a lot less crowded (maybe 15 in a room that regularly holds 40). *Contrary to what's mentioned in other reviews, their website DOES include the teacher's schedule for the upcoming classes. PIck and choose your spots. Bikram Yoga is probably saving my life. My gym is too far for me to attend regularly, but yoga is providing a great regular workout. Check this place out. read more

Tomoko and her staff here at Hot Yoga Rego Park are changing lives. Yoga has become a bit performative in certain places, where it's more about taking a photo to post to social media rather than the practice. I always felt out of place practicing in Brooklyn and the vibe at other studios I've gone to is not welcoming. Here it's the total opposite, theres a palpable sense of community, the students all seem to know each other and everyone is so kind. I've seen more diversity in those who practice yoga here than any other studio I've attended. The diversity in shapes, sizes, genders, backgrounds and ages makes you feel instantly welcome. The act of doing yoga can be nerve-racking, you have to stare at yourself in a mirror for an hour or longer, to feel no sense of judgement or nervousness during that process is a gift. They also offer more than 26 & 2, they have music classes, Hot Yin and Lu-Jong (A Tibetan Yoga). So you get a very balanced practice if you take all the classes here. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some of the more boujee studios in nyc. But it has a wonderful array of classes, teachers, staff and fellow yoga practitioners. Come take a class here, you won't regret it! read more

Great yoga place, great teachers I am going there over 4 years and can't find nothing but great thinks! I would give 6 star if I could ! read more

HotYoga4YouRegoPark - Yoga Near Me - Rego Park, New York

I've been here for the 2 week trial and I must say, it's a great concept and good location, but the hot yoga room tends to reek of BO. Also, the locker and shower areas are very small. No shot in getting parking in the lot either. I mean I really enjoyed the classes here but this things listed above make the experience not as enjoyable. Also, I think joining the membership is rather expensive!! That's why I never joined. I just take yoga classes on ClassPass at different venues it's more eco friendly for my pockets and it's unfortunate that HYRP doesn't offer classes on ClassPass. read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Gotta agree with Colleen below. The customer service here is nonexistent. As a first timer, I waited the entire weekend to take the 6:30pm class today with Johanna Faust, purposely avoiding David Ryan and was super excited. I knew that first timers needed to arrive 30 minutes early, but the website doesn't clarify why. Being a very prepared person, I was ready one hour before the class and got directions from Google, which said that it would take 15 minutes to drive there. Unfortunately, I entered "6507" instead of "65-07" which led me 20 minutes out of my way. I immediately doubled back and tried to get there on time, but arrived at 6:25pm. I tried to take a chance and asked if we could still get into the class and explained what had happened. When I first walked in, there were two people behind the counter. No smiles, nothing. I explained that I was a first timer and that I knew that I was supposed to arrive at 6pm. These people acted like my being late was a gigantic problem. People: all it takes is a smile and the words, "I'm sorry, I understand that you had issues getting here but we can't accept you into the class. Please come on time next time." That's all! I don't need you to act like I burned down the place. Then, the instructor, who I assumed was Johanna, had to chime in and said very rudely, "I really have to start this class on time." Look - I'm talking to your so-called customer service people. You don't need to interrupt and act like I'm barging in on your wedding. This place is located next to a 7-11 in Rego Park, for God's sake. You don't work at the Waldorf! I really want to come back to this place to get fit and de-stress, but after the snotty behavior from these clowns I'm never stepping back in there. Crappy location, crappier customer service. read more

Hot Yoga for U popped my yoga cherry. I first tried hot yoga at this place and I must say it became my barometer for other yoga places. One studio. All hot yoga. They have two different classes. A 90-minute, recommended for beginners and a 60-minute class which is more intense and recommended for those who have been practicing for awhile. The classes are structured. Starts and ends with a breathing exercise. Goes through different poses twice. First to get it correct and the second to challenge yourself. It's a progression of poses from easy to tough and standing to laying poses. I love how the classes are structured. Even if you do not hear the yoga master, you would still know where you would be if you've been here more than once. And I find it super easy to get lost when you concentrate on your poses and your instructor are the ones who gives you commands on what to do next. The room is very hot and humid. Expect to come out of the room soaking wet. But it's a nice and refreshing kind of sweat. Small changing rooms, two toilet rooms. One with a shower. But please do not bring your shampoo, conditioner, body wash and loofa. There's an unspoken rule of two minute wash per customer. It's there if you feel the need to douse your stinky sweat with water before heading home. Only thing I do not like about this place is that the studio is carpeted. All that sweat coming out of everyone's bodies does not all fall on their towels. Just think of how much sweat that carpet absorbs each day. Ugh! -1 star for that. Staff are friendly and helpful. read more

I've done bikram yoga on and off the past couple of years. I've tried two different studios in Manhattan and one in Williamsburg. This Rego Park studio is by far the best one I've been to. If you've never tried bikram, all you need to know is that it's a 90 minute class in a heated room. It gets HOT and you will SWEAT. It's great for improving flexibility and sweating out all your toxins. Since I'm not a dedicated goer, I haven't been able to master the 26 posture routine but I do enjoy how I feel after and like how I get rid of all the extra water weight! The reason why I like this studio so much better than the other ones I've tried is primarily for its cleanliness. The yoga room does not smell despite having a rug (the rugged Manhattan studio I tried a few times reeked of some organic stinky thing i guess they used to clean the carpet) and it's big, enough to fit more than the 15-20 regulars that come to class. Also, despite being carpeted, the studio floor is pretty clean. The changing area (not carpeted, all wooden floors) is also clean, they have 3 dressing rooms, 2 toilet bathrooms, and 1 shower. There are no lockers, you put your stuff in cubby holes but the teacher locks the entrance when class begins and there are video cameras outside. The teacher that I had the past two times I've been to class so far (Grace) has been great. She's patient, explains things very clearly, and is easy to follow. She's the best instructor I've come across so far, she doesn't make you feel bad if you can't do the move and tries to learn everyone's names and corrects your posture if you are off (surprisingly, I don't think a lot of teachers take the time). If you can't complete a posture or get dizzy/tired, you're encouraged to sit it out (no one is allowed to leave the room once class starts, part of the bikram guidelines). There are mats and towels for rent and water to buy if you forget anything. I just bring a beach towel and rent a mat ($2). There's also kleenex boxes in the studio if you need to wipe off during class. Overall I love this studio a lot, the things that matter to me most in a studio is a patient, articulate teacher and a clean studio which this fulfills. The other studios I've been to haven't been as clean. I also like how there is no 'music' during class or that the heat generators don't make much noise. Location wise, it's right on Woodhaven Blvd across from the cemetary. It's inside a small shopping complex next to Rite Aid. There's a small parking lot but parking on the streets is free anyway. Lastly, they have a great intro deal--$20 for unlimited classes for 10 consecutive days. They have a lot of classes so easy to find one to fit your schedule! Highly recommend to anyone looking to try out bikram yoga! read more

A friend told me about this place, and I love it! I have been doing hot yoga for 1.5 years now, and thus far, this is the best studio in Queens + LI. The room is spacious, and heated just right. Also, there are 6 changing rooms, and also one changing room with a shower. If you are new, you can buy the beginner's package, which is $20, and unlimited classes for 10 days! The instructor was friendly and helpful. He talked throughout the class and gave good pointers to straighten out your pose. The only part is...I live a bit too far to make this my regular studio, but man I wish it was ;-) read more

The name of this place is Hot Yoga 4 You Rego Park, sometimes referred to as Bikram Yoga Rego Park. Over the last two weeks I've taken four classes with three different instructors (Vivian, Chris, and Tomoko) and overall I'm really enjoying this place. My first class was on a Monday evening and it was surprisingly packed. Packed as in I was sandwiched between two people with what felt like less than a foot of room on each side of me. I figured this was normal and while it was my first class, I just decided to go with it. Vivian was the instructor and admittedly I had difficulty understanding her instructions as she spoke quickly and has a thick accent. But despite those challenges, I stuck with it and had a great time. I'm not so sure my neighbors enjoyed it as much as I think I dripped and sprayed all over them. The second class was with Chris, who is more energetic and has an overall lighter approach to the class. He cracked a few jokes, trying to keep the class distracted from their intense workout. While it's not my preferred personal style, I can appreciate what he's trying to do. And finally, I've been to two classes with Tomoko. So far I prefer her classes the most (so far) who I think has a balanced light-hearted yet focused approach to the practice. I wanted to take a second to comment on others feedback. Others here have written that parking can be a pain. This is true but it's manageable and the primary reason why I knocked off a star. Someone else made fun of it for being next to a 7-11. I personally appreciate this because so far after every class I've run there to grab a gatorade or coconut water. And lastly, there are a few (older) reviews complaining about customer service. So far everyone has been welcoming and friendly to me, who is brand new to hot yoga. I've yet to experience any poor customer service here. Lastly, the changing area can be tight, but I understand this is pretty standard in most yoga studios. So far, everyone seems to follow the shower and changing room etiquette and makes the best of it, which I really appreciate. All in all, I'm really enjoying my experience here to date and I'm already looking forward to my next class. read more

So this was my first time trying hot yoga and this is my first experience in a hot yoga studio so here goes nothing. I came to this place cause it was near my home. I dragged my boyfriend with me. So we were offered the $25 for 15 days trial/promotion, and we both took it. I brought my own mat and beach towel cause that's what I had read on the website earlier in the day. My boyfriend rented a mat ($3) and we were seat right next to the door at the back of the room, which is where the most air comes in, also because it probably allows you to observe the more experienced yogis do certain poses just in case you didn't understand what the instructors were telling you to do. After giving them our information, we were instructed to put our things in a little cubby. So we undressed and walked into the 105 degree room. We were seated with one person between us, which only applies to first timers; first timer friends are split apart so that you won't shoot each other looks of death while in the middle of your practice. Understood. Every wore whatever they felt most comfortable in, whether it be a sports bra, with or without a coverup, tank top, shorts, spandex, leggings, it didn't matter. No one was judging anyone. There were all different body types and a variety of different strengths and limits to each body and everyone respected one another. It was a pretty full class, almost every mat was within inches from the mat next to it. This was a Wednesday night class with music. And so it begins... Within minutes there were waterfalls coming out from my shins which continued to move up my body, and I was sweating profusely from every pore on my body......... My first yoga instruct was named Mike. He's super descriptive and I appreciated his style. So we got through the 29 different poses, two sets on each side of our body... And then we got to lay down on our backs. After hearing "namaste" we were allowed to continue laying or pack our things and leave. I've come back four times since then all different instructors each time. My favorite is this really pretty young woman, she's funny, and she tells you she won't be doing the poses with you, but she'll definitely get down and demonstrate for you if she feels that it'll help you better understand terms such as "locked leg" "straight leg" etc. She takes the time to memorize people's names which I think is pretty awesome. Anyway, it may be my first yoga studio, and my first hot yoga experience, but I'm pleasantly pleased with Hot Yoga 4 You. Bring your friends. It's fun. read more

If you want to sharpen your practice, this is the place for you. The instructors are a bit stricter than the Yoga Room's and the practice is a little more serious. I went for about 3 months, but it's just too expensive to keep continuing. Anyways, DO NOT TAKE CLASS WITH DAVID. He is like the meanest, instructor i've ever had in my life. He kind of makes you feel like NEVER coming back. Very discouraging and he just come off like he's better than you and is doing you a huge favor. NO THANK YOU. i'll skip on his classes. The owners personally instruct some classes. And for the most part, I really enjoy classes with them, Tomoko and Steven. I usually pick the center of the room, that way your get the air relief of the front door and the back door. I would say my practice greatly improved the more I went but it's so freaking time consuming! I swear, I didn't get home till 8:30-9 everyday and at the end, I just kind of resented going. There's only 1 shower and sometimes you have to wait and wait for the person in front of your to finish. I wish they bought out the space next door, expanded and put a women's and a men's locker room. After the classes, some people just sit on the bench and just create this nasty puddle of sweat. It is so freaking NASTY....omg. so gross. read more

Bikram yoga comes to Rego Park! I tried out this place after seeing it for awhile. My bf started to go and told me it was amazing so I decided to sign up for the one week special of $20 unlimited classes. Bikram yoga is practiced in a hot room of about 100 degrees while doing 2 sets of 26 different stretches. This location used to be West Coast Video rental and the owners spruced it up nicely. There is one huge carpeted studio room with mirrors and in the waiting area there are shelves to put your bags and shoes in, 2 bathrooms, 1 shower and a few changing stations. What I mean by stations are little closet sized rooms with a sliding door. There is no locker room as you would find in a gym. The studio is decent sized, everyone who shows up is able to fit into it-although I think this place will outgrow itself in the near future due to popularity. The yoga is great and right when you feel like you are going to die from the heat, the instructors will walk around and turn on the fans and open the doors. Make sure you wear shorts and tanks and no sweats. Bring your own towel, mat and water-if you forget, you can rent towels and mats and buy water. You will be drenched with sweat. Ladies-a sports bra and tights is fine and I've seen men wear bathing suits although there is one guy who tends to wear a speedo like thing which I do not recommend. Note that you are not allowed to leave the room once class begins and they are 90 min long. I don't know all the instructors but of the ones I do know, I recommend Grace who teaches on Sundays at 4 and Mondays at 9:30 am and Chris Mondays at 8pm. Rita who teaches on Sat at 12:30 is pretty tough but I think she makes you work harder, especially at getting the perfect posture. I haven't decided if I want to continue classes here because of the prices-check the website out for that. Also, this place is not close to any public transportation. I guess if you had to-you would take the R or V to Woohaven Blvd then walk a few blocks and catch the Q11 or 53. However, you cannot come late to these classes so I wouldn't take public transportation. Everyone that I've see drives and I'm lucky to have an awesome bf who does exactly that. There's no doubt that I feel more flexible and energetic after taking these classes so all in all, I'm glad I discovered this place because I know I will pop in once in awhile. read more

I've read the reviews before trying my first Bikram class here. I ABSOLUTELY do not understand where the negative reviews came from because I had a wonderful experience as a first timer. I signed up for the 8:30am Saturday class. I arrived 20 minutes early to sign up and to rent a mat from them. The woman at the counter was very friendly and I noticed she was friendly with all the newbies. She asked everyone if they needed a mat, water and showed us where the changing rooms and bathrooms were located. I recommend sitting or laying in the room 5-10 minutes before class to get use to the temperature. They don't allow drinking water the first 25-30 minutes of the class, so be prepared. I read all the do's and don'ts from their website and it was helpful. It was a full class. Some people couldn't do every pose, so they would just lay on the mat. The instructor showed genuine concern. She would ask them if they were OK and then she'd open the door and turn on the fans. One woman walked out of class toward the end and the instructor walked over and spoke with her to make sure she was all right. The woman said she didn't feel well and had to stop. I don't remember the instructor's name, but she was very pleasant. She warned the class that the environment is not for everyone so if anyone felt dizzy or sick, it is normal. She was very understanding to those who struggled. I recommend bringing a beach size towel and a hand towel if you're going for the first time. A change of clothes and a large bottle of cold water was definitely needed at the end of a 90 minute class. Their $25 2 week unlimited pass is the promotion that is going on now. I didn't think I would enjoy Bikram because of the whole idea of yoga in 100+ degrees, but I felt like a million bucks right after. It was well worth it! read more

Bikram yoga: it's everything you heard it was and perhaps a bit more. Yes, it's hot and humid (sometimes oppressively so). Yes, you may feel dizziness, nausea, and the need to pee badly. And no, you're not allowed to leave - go ahead and try it, I've seen many a student being chased back into the hot room! Just bring a bottle of ice water, wear shorts, try your best, and heed the instructor's advice: today can be your best class or your worst - you just have to keep coming back to find out (now THAT'S a sales pitch!). Bikram Yoga Rego Park is located on a pretty quiet strip on Woodhaven Blvd and you shouldn't have trouble finding parking in their lot on most days. The space is nice and clean, employees are warm and inviting, and they play decent chill out music in front (think Frou Frou and down tempo Brazilian Girls). Class sizes are pretty small (the most I've experienced was 30) and the crowd is non intimidating: newbies, super bendies, husbands dragged by their wives, young and old of all sizes convene here for mutual discomfort. Classes tend to run a few minutes longer if there are new folks who need to be reassured that they will NOT die in the room. I won't go into detail about individual instructors because everyone has their reasons for liking/hating a particular one. My suggestion is to try out a variety of days/times and figure it out for yourself. The good news is that most instructors I've had were genuinely concerned about their students, taking the time to remember names, correcting or praising your form, and even playfully scolding you! I was astonished when my instructor reminded me of which poses I tend to sit out on week after week and urged me to try harder! And THEN I was like, "UGH! Now I have to do EVERY pose? (groan)" They're also generally merciful, turning on fans and opening doors to let relief in the form of fresh air in. The beginner's special is reasonably priced and perfect for someone who isn't sure what they're getting themselves into. They DON'T advertise that they give out student discounts with a valid school ID - I found this out from a friend who frequents the Rockville Center location. You just need to ask and they'll happily oblige, adding a note to your account so the next time you need to re-up, your price will automatically reflect the discount. I only took off 1 star from this review because I'm not a fan of the carpeted studio - it retains heat and odor more than a bare floor might, but the incense and constant airing out make up for it. It may be distracting at first, but I guarantee the sweat in your eyes and your pounding heart will make you forget the fact that hundreds of people have sweat in the same wet spot you're standing in. read more

Bikram Yoga Rego Park is a wonderful studio!!! Very welcoming, geared towards the every level. All the teachers are very encouraging and super mindful of correct form. The wealth of knowledge combined with their patience makes this studio a very safe place to begin your Bikram practice and continue for years to come. HOWEVER!!! Remember that Bikram is HOT YOGA. Done in a HOT room... read the website people. Inform yourselves. You don't have to participate in all the postures (the instructors will constantly remind you of this) but you do have to stay in the room. DON'T storm out, complain, or chit chat , or giggle with your buddy that brought you. Its annoying, frustrating, and plain out RUDE!! I don't come to your house and blast rock music into your windows... don't come to yoga and disrespect the practice, the studio, the instructors, and your fellow classmates. Be an adult...read the rules. If you think you can be an adult and keep your mouth shut for an hour and a half and challenge yourself emotionally, physically, and mentally.. then YES!! Bikram Yoga Rego Park will rock your socks off!!!!! read more

First, I would like to say I never do reviews but I feel that this one is warranted. This is the first Bikram yoga place that I ever went to and I absolutely loved it. I am hooked now and I want to do yoga all the time now. The place is extra clean. The room doesn't smell. The classes are also never too crowded. There are cubby holes to put your stuff. Three changing rooms, two bathrooms and a shower. I haven't used the shower; I just go home to do that. The instructors are welcoming and they try to remember your name. They also very helpful and have so much advice to give. They push you to do your best in the class. I I have done classes with Tomoko, Laura and Heatherly who are all nice and but have different techniques. But each one makes you feel at home. The people who take the classes are super nice too and helpful. read more

I was visiting the area and need to get my hot yoga fix. Rego Park Yoga came through. Everyone was very welcoming. The instructor was amazing. If I lived in the area this place would be jam. Thanks Ya'll read more

I got into "hot yoga" (That's what the studio's practice is called now) because of the wonderful ladies here so I can't give them anything but five stars!. Unfortunately, my attendance is very spotty because the studio is more accessible for people who live out in Middle Village but a bit of a trek from Forest Hills and Rego Park. I wish they would open a larger hot yoga studio closer to Forest Hills on Queens Boulevard in one of the stores that are vacant and already have a mini-mart parking spot--or where that closed Chinese restaurant with the skylight is across from the new Russian supermarket . There are tons of empty places in the area with lots of sunny airy rooms that can be converted into not one but two hot yoga studios, a juice bar, shower/changing/locker areas, and even space that can be converted into a deck or yard for cooling down after practice. The few other yoga places nearby that offer "hot yoga" can't get the rooms hot enough. A second genuine hot yoga place would be a benefit to the area! The studio is very small and intimate. The instructors are wonderful. Each has her own style. Some give more rest poses while others focus more on trouble areas that promote overall circulation. Vivian and Tomo are particularly super tough! All the instructors have sharp eagle eyes and can pinpoint your individual weaknesses in a full class---and they all do push you but they won't make you feel bad and throw a Bikram tantrum (and they won't wear spandex speedos thank goodness!) if you need to sit and breathe. But they talk through poses for an entire hour and half and get you over that hump. I would go frequently if I could. The timing doesn't work for yogis who work in Manhattan so only weekends work. That isn't enough to keep the practice consistent without going back to round one (beginner's dizziness, soreness, etc.). On weekdays, there isn't enough time in the morning and the PM classes still require a long trek back for those who live out past Queens Boulevard--my "walking back home" experiences were just too dodgy even in broad daylight. Two tips: 1) to avoid beginner's migraines, before you leave your home to go to class, lick a take-out packet worth of iodized salt. Drink a million literes of water mixed with sugar and iodized salt during and after practice. Once your heart rate mellows, take another packet of iodized salt. When you get home, having a crushed ice banana-mango (or anything with potassium/banana) smoothie with a little salt also helps to prevent the horrific dehydration migraine and helps replace all the salts you sweat out. 2) ladies: If you're coming from Queens Boulevard---if you have a car, drive at night. If you don't drive, make sure a husband, girlfriends or a bf/gf accompanies you for late night classes. Be careful. I guess gentlement yogi should also be careful but I don't think creepy men in cars follow you around when you walk home.... Everytime I walk through the residential streets to Woodhaven, I always get followed by creepy dudes in cars who scream out "BABY" and honk slowly while slowly driving behind you. It's the path from the overhead LIRR bridge that eventually ends up around the gym around the corner. The dudes actually slow down and pullover to get your attention, offer rides---it's always super macho, sleazy men who actually scream "HOW OLD ARE YOU?" while slowly trailing you in their car---the dudes seem to be trolling for prostitutes or jailbait.... I don't know... is that a thing?Are there prostitutes lurking around the cemetery or by Forest Park nearby? The dudes are sometimes old enough to be someone's proper kosher dad and sometimes they look like sleazy furniture outlet salesmen in rumpled suits---and sometimes they do this whole they're in their company's logo-covered car. Why would a prostitute be walking around a nice residential area all sweaty with lugging a yoga mat, wearing sweat soaked work out clothes, with a towel on her shoulder, toting a giant water bottle? It's really creepy if they think there are prostitutes in the area and it's even creepier when they think you're in high school and are actually trolling for what they think are underaged girls. read more

I agree with the review below, Hot Yoga is perfect for anyone who wants to sweat off some extra water weight, stretch out and detox! You will definitely drop 2-3 pounds on a scale after 90 minutes. Even if you do as little as move your pinky finger...it is so hot that you will be sweating no matter what. Expect to be drenched so definitely plan to hit the showers right after. You should not eat before (you may vomit) and you should try to stay hydrated for this rest of the day. For people who do not tolerate heat well, or have a heart condition, this is not the place for you. This facility on Woodhaven Blvd is clean and neat. Laura is an amazing instructor and her soothing Australian accent is perfect to guide one through the class. read more

This was the first time I tried bikram yoga and I love it! The instructor (I forget her name but it was the 6pm class) was really supportive and friendly. The place is spacious too bad its not convenient for those who travel using public transportation. :\ If you live close, I would definitely recommend trying this place out! read more

I am currently taking advantage of the offer to pay $25 for 15 days of unlimited yoga classes. I am about to attend my 4th class and so far I really love Bikram yoga! I was sort of nervous to try it out but when I went to sign up the studio was so welcoming and non-scary. At the start of the first class Grace took the time to welcome me and explain some things about the postures. She was very attentive to all the students and called us by name to correct things in the poses. I also enjoyed my classes with Tomoko and Laura, who also provided amazing personal attention during class. I am learning a lot and feeling great doing hot yoga. I am definitely going to be making this a regular part of my yoga routine (I do DVDs at home otherwise). The studio itself is very clean and orderly. 2 bathrooms, 1 shower, lots of cubbies to put things in, and coat hooks on the walls. The studio does NOT smell at all - after reading reviews of other studios around the city I was prepared for one, but this place is very clean. The parking is easy to handle, too. There is a parking lot in front but the streets surrounding are easy to find spaces on. The studio provides a little parking guide when you sign up if you are not from the neighborhood. read more

This is my favorite place to just release, detox, and meditate in yoga poses. Tips when arriving to this popular place. Once you enter placing your mat in the room should be the first thing you should do. It's like I said this place is super popular and you want to make sure you get a good spot for a great session. Here's what to expect... well first this place is small but quaint; An added bonus they have parking available. Again popular place so you want to arrive early for a spot. They have cubbies to safely put away your personal items. The hot room have comfortable mats, and not like other hot rooms, sweat smell is not a problem for this place. One last added bonus the teachers are super engaging I appreciate their helpful tips on breathing and taking a slow pace. Namaste! read more

David's and Tomoko's classes are the best there! Loved it. Giving 4 stars out of 5 because of a bit unsanitary floor in the yoga room.

I have been taking Bikram yoga for a couple of years and have been to many studios! This studio is one of the cleanest and friendliest studios I have been too. All of the teachers are genuine and work with whatever injuries you have. By reading the reviews below I was kind of upset because if you actually do research and read on line and this goes for many Bikram studios you are supposed to arrive 30 minutes prior to fill put paper work (not 5 minutes before) especially at a busy studio. I would know this because I have been a first timer before in many studios and you are always supposed to show up at least 20 minutes prior to fill paper work out and get set up. I found it easy to get her by car all I did was plug it in my GPS... If your taking public transportation you may have to walk a couple of blocks from queens blvd ( no biggie). Allow yourself some time to get there and everything will be fine, plus there is plenty of parking. Overall the studio is clean, customer service is good, and the teachers are excellent. I love this place! read more

AVOID AVOID AVOID Should have read the reviews before. That David Ryan that many avoided makes complete sense. The fact he is employed and his behavior is allowed makes this yoga studio a disgrace. I am not new to hot yoga and I have not left in the middle of a session, but I wasn't feeling well today and needed to step out. David proceeded to yell at me as if I was a criminal. I went outside and he continued to come out and yell. Now that I see he has been a jerk in the past I am even more outraged in how this is allowed. What a disgrace of an establishment. read more

If I could rate this place zero stars I would. This is by far the worst yoga studio I have ever been to. Unfortunately, I decided to try the $25 two week trial with them. First time I'm there, the owner tells me that it is vital for me rent blocks to take the class. I tell her that I've been doing yoga for years and I do not feel the need to use the blocks. Nevertheless, she says that if I do not rent the blocks then I would not be able to go in so I rent the damn blocks($2). The class was absolutely awful it was supposed to be a vinyasa class but instead it felt like basic Bikram yoga. I didn't even need the blocks like I told her. The class was only challenging because of the heat not because of the instructor. The instructor then tells me that if I step outside to drink water I won't be let back in. So I'm stuck in a 90 minute class with an empty water bottle. I decide to give this place a second chance and the owner tells me that she can't allow me inside even though I'm just 4 minutes late!!!! That is ridiculous. The class had not even started yet. She then tells me I can simply wait 2 hours for the next class (because I have nothing better to do, right?). I usually stick with Bamboo yoga and Zen yoga in Forest Hills (which are way better) but I wanted to give this place a try. Such a mistake! Don't even get me started on the decor. There are carpets everywhere which seems unsanitary for a yoga place. Overall, worse yoga experience of my life. Stay away! Never again. I want a refund. read more

i had bad experience with them. i complaint, they told me bikram is not for everyone, i guess, rego park bikram is not for me. membership 29 days for sell $60, send me a msg read more

bikram yoga is something i have been dying to try and wahoo there is one right by my house. so my classmate and i ventured bravely as first timers to bikram yoga in rego park. it's a pretty small studio with only 2 bathrooms, 1 shower and cubbyholes for lockers but clean and nice. tomoko was there to welcome us as well as instruct us and she was amazinG~ how on earth she managed to talk in that hot room for the full 90 minutes is beyond me the 1st session was killer, i took so many time outs it was embaressing. i looked over to my friend and many times she had just given up and plopped down. a series of 26 poses all done twice and 2 breathing exercises, bikram yoga is said to massage your organs, help you sweat our your toxins, improve flexibility and even make you feel better. i felt great after each session, for 25$ you get a week of unlimited classes and i went to 4. by the 2nd class, i was able to do all the poses without taking a time out and i noticedd significantly my body was more flexible, energized and i was even my stress levels alleviated. i am in loveeee. the instructors are super nice, laura, david and tomoko are the best and the only con i can think of is the cramped hallway where the cubbyholes are and the stink of sweat and feet on the rug in the yoga room. do not go during busy hours it gets packed and the stench and heat is unbearable. read more

I can't say enough good things about HYRP. The teachers are great, all loving and caring but with their own unique personalities. The student community is warm and sweet but with diverse background. You sweat hard in the class but walk out floating in the cloud, physically, emotionally and spiritually. The classes are well designed to offer balance and variety: traditional hot 90/75/60 and the never judging yin, the invigorating vinyasa and the intriguing Lu Jong... I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try hot yoga. read more

This is a first class hot yoga studio, and used to be a strictly Bikram 90 minute 26 posture experience. Now they have disaffiliated themselves from the Bikram organization, and have 60 as well as 90 minute classes, and sometimes a silent class or a class with music. No matter what the format, the studio is meticulously clean, the students friendly and helpful, and the instructors are knowledgeable, helpful, and compassionate. read more

Like other have said, the customer service is horrible!!! Both my friend and I went separately and both felt that they are super rude, it's like they're trying to be nice but it is so fake and it's almost sarcastic. I had a problem when I first walked in at the front desk and from being upset I forgot to bring my towel in the room, about an hour into the class the instructor said to me with an attitude, "I thought you said you had a towel??"...really?? really?? What's the point of saying something at that point...just to ruin my attempt to relax and enjoy the class....Super rude and unprofessional. read more

I have to start out by saying that Rego Park's Hot Yoga 4 you studio has changed my life! I started going 2 years ago but only went for the 15 days of the introductory special and never really purchased a package after that. But the May of 2015 I had a different experience. My body had been struggling thanks to the everyday things that destroy it, such as standing at work for 8 hours. Not to mention the standing on a crowded train for another hour back and forth. Lifting heavy things everyday. I had also experience some accidents that left my left leg pretty weak. My "youth" strength seem to be disappearing!! As a routine I checked in during the first week of May and purchased the introductory special once again. This time my body felt amazing and so much more energized after class. It felt as if I had a new set of lungs. Also my sleep at night after class seem to be so much more restful. Every instructor has a different way of teaching. Some are more hands on and if they feel is needed they join in and demonstrate the positions as they are talking and teaching. Some are more verbal and really encourage you and help you be more relaxed with their kind words. Some instructors are very spunky (in the best way) which is great because they bring in this amazing energy to class which just pumps everyone up! (Heatherly and Ruby!) David Ryan is my personal favorite he constantly talks during class (EVERY SECOND) he makes sure to remind you to breathe and keep your pace. You will definitely come out of this class smiling. Ruby and Tomoko are very informative !!! I mean after 9 months I am still learning new things about what the positions do for you. It has been 9 amazing months of coming to this studio and I have to say I love the people and the instructors. Tomoko (instructor, and owner) has made the studio and practitioners become a little community. She gives back to the community by having a donation based class every few months. This not only makes people feel happy but also share amazing moments together. That being said it really feels like home when you step into this studio. Everyone eventually gets to know each other a little more. And it is all because Tomoko and the instructors really care about this place and the people. read more

I gave four stars because the class was amazing though it was my very first hot yoga, and Tomoko was great. Tomoko does talk incessantly for the whole 90 minutes, which is a feat in and of itself. Because she just keeps telling you how to correct the pose (e.g., touch your left thigh; heels on the ground, etc.), the 90 minutes do go fast with all that correction and concentration. I felt much lighter when I came out. I seriously think that I lost weight just after one class. Maybe it's just water loss, but it does feel refreshing. I would have given five stars if it hadn't been for the fact that the carpet SMELLS as many pointed out. The stench is so disturbing that, though I didn't think about it during the class, I did remember it and shuddered after and still now.... They have an odor removing machine in the room; instead, they should just opt for cheap carpets that are easy to remove and install and change it at least once a year, preferrably two, three times a year. I got the Amazon 5-voucher deal and am glad that I didn't get 10. If I still want the great workout of hot yoga after my 5 vouchers run out, I will have to shop for another studio JUST BECAUSE of the SMELLY DISGUSTING CARPET... read more

I went to bikram yoga for the first time because of back problems and I wanted to go to a yoga studio near my house. So I went and I felt like the instructor was kind of rude and sarcastic. One guy in the class was like I get overheated, and the instructor was like well t his is hot yoga not cool yoga. SARCASM. I really think the hot temperatures got to her head. I felt like I was gonna pass out. I don't think its a healthy way to get in shape. I understand that its a form a self discipline because people suffered in extreme heats but comon now. I don't recommend it for anyone. Its not the wisest way to lost weight. I had a headache for six hours after the class because of dehydration. read more
