I have been out of the yoga lifestyle for about six years, in that time I had two children and severe health issues. Previous to that, I was a regular yoga practitioner and fairly athletic. I’ve attended Warrior 1 in the past and I didn’t like the class then either but I figured, things can change and I wanted to give them another shot.

Needless to say, I was very disappointed with the class I experienced. I felt confident in booking the beginners class because I have taken other beginners classes at other studios recently. I set up, and the instructor comes in and immediately starts the class at full blast; no setting intentions, no modifications, nothing about honoring your body. The music is so loud that I cannot hear the instructor. It is flow from one pose to another very quickly, which is the OPPOSITE of what is listed in the class’ description. I find myself wondering if I booked the wrong class. At one point we’re instructed to use the strap, but no one has a strap. This is the first class I’ve ever gone to where the instructor did not set up your necessary equipment.

I found myself tense, upset, and impatient when I left. The whole reason I attended the class was because I’d had a hard week and wanted to relax. Maybe it was the instructor, maybe it’s just how the studio is run, but I can’t recommend this studio for a true yoga beginner.

I love Shanna's Buti class at Warrior 1 Yoga. It really gets me out of my own head, away from my daily worries. It's great cardio, stretching, balance, core and strength all in one! Adding in the heat and humidity, it really doesn't matter how I feel going in to class, I always feel great leaving.

I never thought I’d love this as much as I have! As someone born and raised in Bakersfield I HATE THE HEAT! But TRUST ME!! TRY THIS! I get such a good sweat and I feel so cleansed and refreshed after! I have truly felt like a new person after my experiences with this studio! Everyone is incredibly inviting, friendly, and energetic. All classes are GREAT, but the one I love the most is the Hot Butt Lift class. I have fun and get such a good workout and they have so many classes to fit my schedule! 10/10 recommend!

Warrior 1 is the best of the best places to get fit. I am 69 years young and have had many injuries during military career. Being in the USCGR performing Tactical boat operations was a brutal beating on my body. Warrior 1 has strengthened my back and made me more flexible in may later years. Thank you very PS1 Randy Pate.

I've been taking classes at Warrior 1 for years now and I always leave with a great feeling after each course. I've gone with my whole family several times, and have taken the beginner's and even HIIT with my two elementary age daughters. We always feel welcome and there are no judgements made on people's yoga journey. This is the best hot yoga studio in town!

I am a previous member and now I do drop-ins. The classes are good and the schedule has improved since COVID however, the $25 drop-in fee is too high. There is an increasing number of quality hot yoga options in town with many of the same yoga instructors, so the drop-in fee is simply not competitively priced.

5/5 on this gem!
Warrior 1 was recommended to me by a friend who is a member. I was able to join her in a class, and as a beginner (who’s never done yoga a day in my life, not to mention; HOT yoga!!) I found it incredibly easy to follow along and modify as needed and made it through the entire class!
The cold towel and cool down at the end was the perfect way to end it for me and a really nice touch.
The cherry on top though has to be their pricing! Can’t beat it!!

I started going to Warrior 1 Yoga about 6 weeks ago for their hot yoga classes. I love the ambiance and look of the yoga room. What I love even more is that I am able to take my glasses off during the sunday session because the instructor guides verbally. As someone who struggles with the heat fogging up my glasses(and sweat), this really makes the class so much more enjoyable as I don't have to watch everything and I can just flow. The heated floors are super amazing as is the level of heat. I feel I will be coming to this yoga studio for a long time. Great place!

Been really enjoying this studio, the environment, and the experience. Each class and instructor has their own vibe. Class sizes are smaller and more intimate. there are classes if you are wanting to relax like yoga restore... or if you are wanting a more total workout like kickboxing or HIIT core.

Warrior 1 Yoga is great. Being new to yoga I thought I would give it a try, so January 2 of last year I took my first class. It was great and I really enjoyed the session. I am an older retired guy in my mid 60's and have several health concerns, so I wasn't sure how much yoga I could actually do. It has been a year since I started and I have lost 37 pound, I have lost12% body fat and I feel better then I have in years. I can do most things in class and if something causes to much of a strain, I simply don't do it. The instructors continually say to listen to your body and don't do anything that might cause pain. I am a fan of Warrior 1 Yoga and consider this to be a lifestyle change.

I am one to usually work out at home, weight training, but decided to try out hot yoga.
To my surprise I found the most energetic and awesome instructor Meredith, who teaches the weight training class. I love it! I always feel great and stronger after class, not to mention the feeling of detoxification (hot studio makes you sweat 😅)

What an amazing business, venue, and staff. I can’t say enough good things about Dana and her team. Their professionalism and flexible scheduling allowed myself and wife the opportunity to attend classes while on leave.

A must if you’d like to advance holistic health and wellness, what a Bakersfield gem!

I really love the studio and lighting, it enhances the experience exponentially, and the ice cold lemongrass towel at the end of the class is a cherry on top! I look forward to continuing practicing yoga here at Warrior 1.

Man, the last year for this place has been a wild ride. Pricing changes, class packages vanishing, and now their other (and wildly better) location is closed.

Their studio on Stockdale was massive compared to this location, but I have a feeling that they haven't changed the maximum number of attendees per class to accommodate this size change.

The lobby is cramped, but the website says you must be there early or the doors will be locked. So you're standing in a cramped lobby waiting for the current class to finish. Want to use the bathroom while you wait? That's too bad because the only restroom is INSIDE the yoga room.

Apparently, everyone knows what to do next:
The second that class starts to exit, people from my class were shoving their way in through the single entrance/exit to the yoga room.

This made sense once I made it in and realized how cramped it was going to be.

Being squeezed into this sort of environment takes away so much from the experience. Any sort of stretches that extend your arms/legs to one side forces you into others personal space.

The instructor was awesome, and the students did their best, but Warrior 1 needs to reconsider the size of their classes if they're going to have this single location, at the very least.

Warrior One is an amazing yoga studio. There’s lots of class options and times and they are all heated which I love. The instructors are great and very knowledgeable.

I overheard Dana treating a tradesman who was doing work for them & cannot support this business. She told him what she needed, & then cursed at him & complained when he did it! I don't think I've met a more duplicitous person. She may put on a good performance for customers, but behaves in a manner that has actually pushed me to feel the need to post this review.

I know for a fact that he was not your friend. I had gone there because the company he works for is local, and I found out about you through them since I try to support local business. I didn't give the day this occurred or name of the tech or business either, so it's interesting you know he was a friend. Also, when a person is yelling in front of her own customers, overhearing is not easedropping.
I know you're probably doing damage control or something by replying so long after the original review, but thanks for taking the time to blow some smoke.

I travel full time for a living and get to explore many different yoga centers and instructors. I caught a beginner hot yoga class with Rochelle Pate and received a great workout / sweat with a very nice flow of poses. It's a pretty small center / room, but has a great family vibe to it :)

I am a regular member at another HIIT type gym and have never tried Yoga before. All my co-workers said I had to try Hot Yoga. I had finally tried out a free week at Warrior 1 Yoga and had no clue what I was doing. The instructors were amazing and fantastic and I absolutely loved my free week there that I signed up for even more classes. It is almost a treat to go workout at Yoga and I look forward to going every time. If you are a male and you have always thought of yoga as a “female” thing I challenge you to try it out it will kick your butt!

I have been going to this place for 3 weeks now and I really like the facility and all the instructors. They all have their unique style and great personality, which makes it less boring and much more interesting each time. Love the cool lemongrass towel and a popsicle at the end. It reminds me of my time in Thailand! However, I do wish for one improvement. I am new to yoga. Only practiced Bikram in the past. I wish for the instructors to be a bit more descriptive and provide correction in postures as we practice. Often times, I am just not sure if I am doing it correctly, and which part of the body should feel the stretch or tension. Some instructors are better at that than others. Other than that, I really like the vibe and I can't imagine going anywhere else!

I have been practicing yoga for about 4 years now, but I do not claim to be an expert. However, I would like to inform all those new yogis of some concerns I have about this studio.

I was in town on Sunday and decided to attend an 8am hot yoga class. The place and location is nice, but I was greatly disappointed by the staff who checked me in and the instructor. The staff was rude--I was initially a bit shocked about the price and the staff member along with someone who was sitting with her, were very rude in their response.

The yoga instructor--very nice girl, but she needs a lot of help with her postures. There were many times, I looked over at her and my knees hurt for her. For instance, during a simple Crescent Pose, the instructor's knees were protruding inward and toes were pointed sideways instead of to the front, as were other yoga students. This is very alarming, as it can cause serious knee injuries. The majority of the students that I could see, about 10-15 from where I was, all had bad form. Knees protruding inward, swinging their arms way back during a side angle instead of by their ears, improper chaturanga and so on.

Moreover, this is the first yoga studio that I have been to where the instructor is not walking around and correcting student's forms nor was she providing any breathing cues or proper posture cues. This is probably the reason why everyone in my purview thought it was proper to have knees and toes angled in and not forward in a Crescent pose.
