Wow ?"I had an incredible experience at the Hot Yoga studio. As a yoga instructor myself, I'm always seeking ways to deepen my practice and reconnect with mindfulness. This studio provided the perfect environment for both. The heat intensified the challenge, pushing me to explore my limits and find new depths in each pose. The instructors were knowledgeable, supportive, and offered gentle guidance to help me refine my practice. The atmosphere was calming yet energizing, creating a space where I could truly immerse myself in the practice. I left each session feeling rejuvenated, centered, and inspired to continue my yoga journey. Highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to take their practice to the next level!"

My first time I call to ask for schedule so I went to this location in Berkeley for 9:00am class. When I got there the studio where close it looks like is on repair. So I call again they say they move to a different location far from Berkeley they never tell me this when I first call. :(

Great classes with great instructors!! The music is lively - like being in a club with music designed to make you move. The instructors push you hard, but they give you options and encourage you to modify the exercises to your limits. All levels get a great work out from the college teen to the middle-age mom to the grandma -- everyone gets a challenging workout and has a great time!

Yoga...but make it a rave? Not sure how else to describe this place, but trust me, you won't be disappointed. The classes are taught in darkness paired with black lights and high powered electronic music. I've focused mainly on their pilates inferno classes which have been a unique take on pilates that actually gets me to want to do pilates. If you know me, that's a near impossible feat (I hate pilates, I mean it) but Hella Yoga has done it. Essentially it is because of their focus on high intensity intervals and plyometric movements which keeps me engaged and excited throughout the class. Highly recommended.

Updated to 3 stars because the owner reached out to me to apologize, and I appreciated that she took the time to do that.

Hella Yoga is great for a sweaty feel-good work out. They play great music and are encouraging of all skill/fitness levels. You'll leave feeling challenged and proud of yourself whether you take a hot pilates or yoga class. When I started taking their hot pilates classes I was really out of shape, so it took me 1-2 classes to adjust to the heated room and overall intensity. I love their classes and would highly recommend trying them out!

I've actually had a really great experience via their online platform- During covid they offered a one week special of free classes and since rejoining I've been hooked. They really brought a whole new level of enthusiasm and interaction for their students. It's mostly women who teach the classes and they are all really awesome people! They are engaging and goofy but most of all they're working out with you in real time giving you the encouragement and support you need to push yourself to your edge. Anyone can watch a YouTube video and workout but that method is so boring. Being able to livestream my workouts throughout the day really made this whole shelter in place experience less daunting. With all the choices out there make sure you find something that you really like. The interval training classes are fun, the music is always dope and the workouts are always different. No two workouts are the same. The meat and potatoes of the class are bridges, crunches, squats, burpees, lunges, push-ups and much more. You're guaranteed to sweat your butt off! I highly recommend this workout studio/ online platform for anyone looking to tone up or whatever your fitness goals might be!
