I love this place! The instructors are amazing, the place is clean and the class times work with my schedule. I'd choose a family owned place over a corporation 10x over and over again.

Phenomenal yoga studio in Hartford.
They have true bikram classes
90 minutes in 104 degree room. It's intense.
There are plenty of other classes if that's not your jam
Very welcoming environment even for beginners like me
Special parking relationship with a local garage for easy inexpensive access
Showers in the bathroom for after class
Can't say enough good things about them
I am now a member

I love the classes here, but unfortunately can't go anymore. Hartford is too crazy with parking tickets. I recieved 3 parking violation tickets and the 3rd towed me car which I had to pay 150 for! I had no idea they were going to have an event on trumbull street on Sunday. My car along with so many others, got towed from trumbull street because they put a tiny temporary no parking sign. I am sure if it was there at 8 am when I parked there, all these other people wouldn't have parked as well. I don't think the entire street would have been filled with parked cars if the signs were actually there.

I just decided that I'm going to stop going to Hartford unless it absolutely necessary. So sad about missing these classes though :(
Hartford is just not a good location.

Visiting Hartford and really wanted a hot yoga class that matched my daily practice at my home studio. Hartford sweat exceeded my expectations, I took the express Bikram and found it accommodating to all levels yet plenty challenging,the facilities are so clean, and the people are kind and attentive. I can’t recommend it enough.

I love going to this place!! I wish, however, that there was less disparity between instructors. Some help me get an excellent workout in, while others seem not prepared or enthused to be teaching.

Hartford Sweat Yoga Studios has had a profound impact on my health and sense of well-being. I have been attending the Bikram Yoga classes for nearly six months now.

To anyone considering a new yoga practice in the new year, you can expect to find here the best teachers; a special thank you to Jose, Shannon, & Colleen for your instruction, kindness, and purposefulness this year.

If you have ever been discouraged, if you have had to surmount that which took the very soul out of you, if you were ever handicapped by illness or physical affliction, this center may prove to be the oasis for which you have been searching.

To anyone considering a new place to get started, good luck to you and your practice in 2025!

I've been going to Hartford sweat for about a year and a half now. They offer a wide variety of classes throughout the week and are very affordable for what they offer. I haven't taken a class I haven't liked and especially recommend 26 & 2 classes with Rakyel & Shannon, Vinyasa 75 with Jose (you will work!) and Yin & Power with Nicole. Nicole's Yin & Power option is especially unique, I haven't seen a class like that at any other studio, and it is a great blend of both mental and physical challenge.

Teachers and staff at the studio are all very friendly and accommodating. Great vibe and community.

I’m new to the studio but loving my experience so far! I’ve been practicing vinyasa yoga for 7 years now and have been to many different studios. I have really enjoyed the Vinyasa 75 class with Jose here! Jose pushes you to stay focused on the fundamentals - breathing & form. I took Rakyel’s Hot Xpress (60 min Bikram) class and really enjoyed that! I don’t have a lot of experience with Bikram but it was a good balance to my Vinyasa practice. Looking forward to more classes at Hartford Sweat!

Hartford Sweat is one of the friendliest yoga studios. The place is always spotless, showers and locker rooms look brand new, lots of room to spread out during class, and usually a lovely iced citrus-smelling towel at the end of a Bikram class. No matter how your day is going, you will feel totally renewed after class there!

Hartford Sweat is not just a yoga studio it is a sanctuary. Studio owner and instructor Rakyel is PHENOMENAL. Every class she teaches is fun and restorative, but she is also careful in choosing other instructors and classes. Every instructor and class understands the importance of elevating health and wellness through yoga, barre, and pilates. The community of members is kind and supportive, a true yoga family. I bring every person who visits me to the studio and they rave about it constantly. I cannot recommend this studio enough! Also shout out to the amazing admin Tory, he manages the desk and everyone's membership with grace and skill.

Signed up for a 90 min Bikram Class during a long road trip, not expecting too much. What a surprise! Hidden in the basement of a downtown shopping area, Hartford Sweat was one of the most beautiful studios I've seen with three gorgeous practice rooms, immaculate lobby and honestly the best locker room/shower I've experienced at a yoga studio. Owner Tory was super friendly, instructor was amazing and even the community were super welcoming and I chatted with many of them and they all love the studio. Highly recommend!

I truly love being part of the Hartford Sweat community. I have taken a few bikram classes, and Rakyel is my all time favorite teacher. Her class is so welcoming and engaging. She makes every person feel like they belong and can succeed in the practice. All the other teachers are awesome too, I feel challenged in every class I’ve taken. Would 1000% recommend Hartford Sweat. I can’t wait to go back every week.

Great yoga studio with fantastic people and wonderful atmosphere. In addition to Bikram, which is great but sometimes and acquired taste, be sure to check out Barre, Pilates Hiit, Hot Sculpt and Power Yoga - you really can't go wrong!

The best yoga spot in CT. Raquel and Tory are such a pleasure and I absolutely love coming here. Try for yourself, it’s not easy, but it’s one of the best forms of self love you can give yourself. Your mind, body, and soul will thank your tremendously for it. 🙏

I joined Hartford Sweat a few years ago when they offered free yoga at the Hartford Riverfront Park. I was obsessed right away! The team provides the most welcoming environment and the trainers and staff work hard to make sure all members are consistently happy and challenged. Since the pandemic started, I've also enjoyed their livestream classes! Absolutely recommend this studio to everyone looking for a great workout both in person and at home!

I showed up to Hartford Sweat on my first day having never done yoga before, and being the heaviest I've ever been in my life - it was affecting me physically and mentally. Rakyel was awesome from day one, showing me around, making sure I had water and a mat and such... she really made it a comfortable environment.

So if you're staring at your screen right now, reading reviews, trying to decide if you should try it or not (just like I did) - I'm telling you to do it. Do it for future you. Old you can eat it. It's affordable, it's fun - it's also hard work... but I feel better than I have in quite a while, and you should to.

10/10 recommended.

Hartford Sweat has had such a positive impact on my life since I joined in February of 2018. Every single staff member, from front desk to instructor to the owner, has been more than accommodating. The Hartford Sweat community is super welcoming and classes are a judgement free zone. I cannot recommend this studio enough. (And despite what another user has claimed to experience, they are very reasonable and it is never a problem to enter class 10 minutes late...although I would not advise doing so on purpose). Would give 10 starts if possible!!!

It's really unfortunate that one person can ruin an entire experience but that's what happened. I signed up for a free trial and was just testing the place out. I've been to other studios before and wanted to give this one a try. My second time there i had a really hard time finding parking and showed up 10 minutes late. I was already frantic and upset for being late but was looking forward to decompressing and re-centering at yoga. Well that didn't happen because I was denied entry into the studio because I was late, I explained my situation and the girl at the front desk basically kicked me out and said I can't go in. I understand that being late is not cool and may disrupt the class, but my friend was already saving a spot for me so there was room and it was my first time being late and my second time at Hartford Sweat so not like I'm a repeat offender. Nevertheless, it left a horrible impression of the studio culture and I will not be signing up (even though I was really excited and looking forward to it because the one class i got to go to was pretty good) and neither will the other 2 people that I was doing a free trial with. There are other yoga studios out there where people treat you with kindness, I highly recommend West Hartford Yoga, great classes, free parking and more importantly nice people. I guess Hartford Sweat cares more about punctuality than being nice and welcoming to new people.

BYDH opened brand new a little more than a year ago. I can't praise this place enough. I've been attending classes here for over a year and it has been an amazing experience. The instructors are very professional and knowledgeable. The studio owner is the nicest person, charismatic and a rising star in the Bikram Yoga milieu. The facilities are always clean and neat and the crowd is so friendly and joyful. There are classes everyday, all throughout the day and evening and every class typically has a fair number of attendees. I thoroughly enjoy it every time I come here and I recommend it to everyone!

"Officially" opened in August, this is a modern, yet simple studio to practice in. A small/solid selection of teachers and classes available with guest teachers coming in on occasion. Location right in downtown Hartford is perfect for those who live and work around the area, or travel through and need a place to stop in.

While Bikram may not be for everyone in the yoga selections, it's a great complement to the existing yoga studios in the area given its focus. Class schedule offers enough choices and prices are right in line compared to what other studios offer.
