I absolutely love this hot 8 yoga studio! The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth—both from the staff and the perfectly heated space. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, motivating, and always attentive to form, which makes every class feel safe, challenging, and rewarding. The mix of strength, stretch, and sweat is unbeatable, and I leave every session feeling stronger, lighter, and completely recharged. Truly my happy place—couldn’t recommend it more!

Before I share this experience, I want to be clear: I really enjoy Hot 8 Yoga and plan to continue going. I’m an unlimited monthly member and have had many great classes here. Unfortunately, this review is getting one star solely because of Alexa. The experience I had with her was so unnecessarily rude and off-putting that it completely overshadowed everything else. It’s disappointing that one instructor can reflect so poorly on an otherwise great studio—but that’s exactly what happened.

I had heard from several friends that this instructor, Alexa F., was rude, but I went to her class anyways. Unfortunately, their warnings were spot on.

I showed up for a class that I had seen scheduled for 9:30. The front desk staff kindly informed me that the class time had recently been changed to 9:15 and apologized for the confusion. They let me know I’d missed the first 15 minutes but could still join.

When I walked in, Alexa immediately said, “Just so you know, 5 minutes late, maybe 10 is acceptable—but 15 is a bit much,” in a very dismissive tone. I calmly replied that the class was originally listed at 9:30, and she looked at me, deadpan, and said, “No. 9:30,” and then turned and walked away.

I ended up leaving. I don’t come to yoga to be spoken to with attitude, especially over something that wasn’t my fault. Everyone can have a bad day, but this came off more as a pattern than a one time moment. If Alexa is aware of the reputation she’s getting, I hope she takes it seriously and works on being more kind and respectful to her students.

This is strictly for the teacher training — Horrible administration. Takes about 12-15 business days to get a replied from the director. Phone calls are placed and no call backs, i mean the disorganization is not worth the money. Please do yourself a favor and save yourself a headache and do the teacher training elsewhere.

Hot 8 Yoga’s welcome week is an incredible way to ease into the practice. It gives you the time to learn, adapt to the heat, and check out all of the studios around LA. By the end of the week, you’ll not only feel stronger and more confident in the heat, but you’ll likely be hooked and find yourself buying a class pack!

Pretty cool studio, enjoyed doing yoga there about 8 years ago while visiting LA. But beware, once you give them your email, you will NEVER get off their mailing list. 8 years later, multiple requests and even a phone call and still getting spammed.

I have been attending hot yoga for over 10 years. After moving to Santa Monica from Colorado I struggled to find a hot studio that was (1) challenging and (2) hot enough. Then, I stumbled upon Hot 8 Yoga. Thank goodness! It is by far the best studio in Santa Monica and I leave every class drenched and relaxed. I’m so thankful for this studio!

The last 6 or 7 times I’ve gone the heaters and the ventilation haven’t been working properly. Sometimes just faulty and works for maybe 30% of the class, and sometimes completely nonfunctioning for the entire class. No warning is ever given either and no refunds given. They have refused to fix their heating system for at least 6 months. I try calling before scheduling to see if the system is working that day, but they rarely answer. And if they do answer they just tell you it’s working even if it isn’t. It’s really a shame how little they care about their customers. This place used to be great but now it’s awful. Doing “hot” yoga with zero heater and zero ventilation is disgusting

I have taken about 10 or so classes at Hot 8 in Santa Monica. I mostly do yin classes which is deep stretching and can be almost meditative. I absolutely love it. All of the teachers have their own style of teaching but I’m never left disappointed. I always feel 10 times better when I leave the studio.

I've been going to Hot 8 in SM for a while now, and every teacher brings something unique to the experience. Shazi (for Yin) and Meredith, in particular, make each class feel like a community session. Meredith's Saturday morning hot power fusion is a standout -- her playlist is always groovy, and she calls everyone out by name, which makes it feel like we're all flowing together. She's got a great core and breathwork sequence and takes the time to align your form or provide modifications, which keeps me motivated. Across the board, the Hot 8 staff here are friendly and welcoming, making each visit a great experience!

Hot 8 Santa Monica has some great teachers, really enjoy their classes. However, the studio is one of the smallest in LA, with only 2 showers, and the staff doesn’t replenish the cold eucalyptus towels so that there are enough to take into the class or after the class. Every time I’ve gone there, there are no cold towels and they say the towels are in the laundry. Also, the studio hasn’t been as hot as the other locations recently, so something is def up with their heating system, and when I went to clean my mat there were no more wet wipes! There have also been a few classes where they don’t have enough weights for everyone in the class so I’ve had to opt for 2-3 lbs instead of 4-5 lbs!

The studios are clean and hot, but there s a lot other yoga studios that offer that too.
The teachers are not that great.
Specially for 26 & 2 there only few left. One Specially named Petra. She does her own thing , and this practice is about follow the original breathing and dialog.
Also, Culver city doesn't offer 26 & 2 on the weekdays anymore.
Sculpt, Barre are offer everywhere.
Doesn't make sense why they are getting rid of 26 & 2. Hopefully they will figure out to keep the original practice with dedicated teachers.
Prices are not cheap. They don't offer any discount aside from the yearly commitment. No special sales at all.
Sadly. I'm still deciding what to do with this membership.

One more time after a travelling I am going straight to this studio. I love the class and the place. Teachers are great and perfect location. But at 10:30 am my electric bike was stolen in front of the studio. So be careful if you come with your bicycle. I was also surprised that some people use their phone before the class. For me mobile phone should be not accepted in the room. Around 3 or 4 people was lying searching for peace.

I am one of the original members when hot8 opened its doors in Santa Monica. Up until 2020 we were a gym family and very private. Nancy Norby “the Norby Method” was amazing training. Nancy’s class and teacher training will improve your stamina, core strength, flexibility and much more. Just be sure it bring a half gallon of water because you are going to need it

WOW!!! I can't speak highly enough of Hot 8 Yoga! Practicing here has been a completely transformative experience for me mentally/emotionally and physically. I had never been a yogi before for, honestly, I never found a yoga class that I didn't get bored at. That all changed the first time I went to Hot 8 Yoga.
I became addicted after my very first class! It took only a couple of classes for me to get acclimated to the heat but the instructors (whom I did tell I was brand new before class started) were so caring, helpful and informative letting me know what to expect, what to do if the heat is too much, etc. The instructors and staff are beyond terrific and truly care about each and every one of their students as individuals and as a community in sharing the best yoga practice ever! The Santa Monica location feels like a spa beyond a yoga classroom! I have never been a yogi before but Hot 8 Yoga has now made me one.
Whether I am having a good day or a bad day, when I leave each practice, my mind and body are in a state of complete euphoria and deep relaxation which I have never experienced anywhere else before. And, the wonders it does to my body! I have several lumbar spine and hip issues which I have had to have regular epidural cortisone shots to help alleviate the pain. Since I started coming to Hot 8 Yoga, a lot of that pain is being relieved naturally now just from their classes. I love Hot 8 Yoga so much and wish I had discovered them a lot sooner!!!! *************

This studio is really a Hot 10/10!
My welcome week was phenomenal. Launching off at the Santa Monica location, Karma at the front desk greeted me at the front door and gave me the grand tour. She made me feel super welcomed; introducing me to the other staff members and made sure I had everything needed for class. I signed up for Sculpt which combines weights and yoga. This class will completely chisel you down to the ideal version of yourself. It’s a tough workout but Alexa brings great energy and music to make the experience more enlivening than anything else.

Yin class with Daleet was an absolute revelation, a profound journey transcending the typical yoga experience. Rebekah's power sessions, on the other hand, are an awe-inspiring test of your physical and mental resilience, regardless of your fitness level. Hot yoga here is like a sacred ritual where you pour sweat, push your boundaries, and unearth a reservoir of inner strength you never thought possible.

The warm and welcoming front desk team starts your visit on the right note. The well-maintained bathrooms, showers, and a post-workout haven are thoughtfully provided. A convenient water station, secure cubbies, and lockers ensure a hassle-free visit.

They generously offer 1.5 hours of free parking with validation. If that's not enough, you can try and find street parking by the meters nearby.

While it may be a more intimate studio than the one in Brentwood on Wilshire, don't be fooled by its size. It's a hidden gem that packs everything you need for a sensational hot yoga experience. Smaller, but just as mighty.

Love the yoga barre classes, perfect mix of movement and strength training. Studios is clean and the heat is cranked up! Katie’s Saturday class is my fave, it’s never the same routine and her playlists are always a vibe

By far the least quality of heat I experienced during 90 26x2 yoga, the heat was so dry it was "burning" my skin, I had to leave early the class. I tired until now Beverly Hills, Koreatown and Culver City.

Great if you like REALLY hot yoga - you'll be dripping within 15 minutes. Very clean studio. Fun spongey ground in the actual studio. Friendly front desk. Salt at the water fountain to add to your water after class. Easy parking across the street in the garage (1.5 hours free). Highly recommend trying them out - their $33 7-day trial is a steal.

Before Covid I was an avid yoga-goer but lost track during the pandemic. I never thought I’d get back into the swing into of it and felt very discouraged. One day I was walking by the studio and something about the place just resonated and spoke to me. I feel like just the presence of the studio reignited my yoga and holistic journey. I decided to start slow with a yin yoga class and the rest is history. I was hooked! I’m so grateful hot8yoga exists.

An experience inside out, outside in. Hot 8 Yoga has helped me in the recovery of injuries. I always feel good long after the class is over. Each class is unique. I modify when necessary. My favorite is Yoga Barre combined with light weights and your own bodies strength as well as YIN sound baths.

This place has changed my life! I have been attending classes now for about a month, I have more focus, more calm, more drive and Energy!!
I was skeptical going into my first class as I did not like my first introduction to Hot yoga many years ago. ( it was an entirely different franchise)However this first class I took was everything I needed, the instructor Cece has a special gift I feel and I have found that many of the other Instructor’s have their own healing , supportive, energizing styles that will propel you forward both in class and in life!
It doesn’t matter if I’m taking a 26&2 class a Yin Class or a Power Fusion class the instructors here are all very dedicated to their craft and you feel it. I highly recommend trying Hot8 Yoga in Santa Monica!

While this location is pretty small and tight, the team/staff are amazing. Tiffany is the best, and my friends and I show up just for her classes. She really loves what she does, and as a result everyone leaves her class better than they came in. Only issue is how small the bathroom/changing area is.

Really wonderful studio, friendly staff, great place to try a variety of classes that give you a full body workout. The descriptions for each class are really helpful, and although I came to the studio to practice 26 & 2, have tried other classes and found something from each class helpful for my body.
Most if not all classes except 26 & 2 are with music, (which I don't particularly care for) but for the Yoga Barre and Sculpt classes I tried, music seems to be helpful to keep up the pace.
I had some trouble connecting my account with the app, but eventually the password reset worked. Staff very helpful.
I would say the success of each class is based on one’s own effort and expectations, and instruction from the teacher. Some teachers are very experienced and give specific instructions while others could contemplate keeping talking to a minimum to keep the energy calm and practitioners in the zone.

I cannot imagine getting through the week without my Hot 8 Yoga Santa Monica visits! Leila's Yoga Barre class is my favorite, she gets me going first thing in the morning and I feel accomplished and energized for the rest of day. There are so many types of classes, different levels and different instructions (all fabulous) to choose from. I recommend trying a few different ones to find your jam. There's free and ample parking in the structure across the street so you won't come to class all stressed out from looking for a parking spot. Everyone on staff is super friendly and helpful too!
