Hot Yoga Asheville is welcoming, warm, and has an eclectic array of incredible classes all day every day. We are staying down in Asheville for a month to see if we want to move here permanently from Baltimore City and I was looking for a hot yoga studio to join that had both 26 & 2 and Vinyasa yoga. HYA is all that and more. The main yoga room is massive and has the blue ridge mountains painted on the back wall, so it feels as though you're walking into a serene mountain scene. The teachers are thorough, detailed, compassionate, and funny! The whole atmosphere is great. 10/10 recommend to all - no matter what level of yogi you are!

Beautiful studio space with mountain mural on the back wall. Teacher Tarah Plavac was very experienced in Bikram-style (26 + 2) hot yoga—very encouraging and positive in her cuing. Really loved this 90 minute, traditional class. Hope to return to Asheville again soon so I can take another class here!

Absolutely recommend HYA. Such a delightful front desk staff & super clean, state of the art facility. No matter what class I take, I come away a whole lot better than when I went in, both physically & mentally. Whether it’s the tried & true 26/2, HIIT, hot flow, power flow, or yin classes, all are taught by top quality instructors who really care about their students.

Only for the elite. No modifications given. Not all cues given are safe, and some cues could cause injury. Deeper isn’t always better, especially given the heat. Gives more of a gym vibe than a yoga studio. Not impressed, although they are pretty impressed with themselves.

Every single person who works there is warm and welcoming and funny and helpful and caring. Every class I’ve ever attended there has been dope. The specials y’all offer make it really affordable. And then people who practice there are really friendly and welcoming too - not cliquey or exclusive or competitive. Basically, the vibe is just awesome.

Love HYA! So many instructors and yet all of them are top notch! The community is strong and welcoming. Feels so great to balance out my training plan with this flexibility, mobility and strengthening practice. The mind and body benefit of infrared heat combined with the eloquent guidance of experienced instructors is unbeatable. Nice number of classes offered with some random Pop-Ups and workshops. All levels thrive here, however imo, for less intense, I recommend Restore and Yin as well as the hot26style classes. For intermediate to more intense, try the slow flows, and if you want an invigorating beast wash-out intense workout, go for the Power, hiit, inferno core classes. Wish they had more early morning Power, Hiit and Inferno workouts to begin my days with as that’s my kind of intensity for my morning time energy, but maybe more will come in time.

After a number of false starts trying to get into yoga, this is the first and only studio that pulled me in. The various styles offered combined with exceptional instructors and a beautiful studio are the perfect mix!

This is a really nice hot yoga studio. As a regular bikram practitioner visiting from out of town I was impressed to find such an excellent facility, great amenities, friendly relaxed folks and an excellent instructor. Lots of great energy here. Looking forward to my next visit.

Like many others, I moved to Asheville during a quarter life crisis while I was trying to figure out what to do next. What I didn't expect was to "discover" Hot Yoga and HYA. Will Young, one of the instructors, persuaded me to join for a class. I'll admit, I was terrified at the idea of it, given I had never practiced before. The thought of being in a crowded room, sweating, and trying poses that I hadn't practiced in the company of others was a bit scary, especially considering I grew up socially anxious.From the first day I joined a class, the atmosphere was welcoming, all-walks-of-life friendly, and the experience was transformative. In fact, practicing hot yoga did more for my mental health than years of therapy.The staff here is what makes it, and everyone was great but I especially enjoyed classes from Ross, Will and Lynn. Hot 26 is great for beginners and intermediate/advanced. The flow classes in difficulty so it's best to try different ones and see what you like. Yin & Restore is super relaxing and therapeutic. Definitely bring towels and plenty of water.If you're thinking about giving it a try, don't hesitate at all.
