Hot Yoga Pasadena is the best for feeling like you're actually getting challenged to do yoga correctly, while getting a great stretch & workout. I returned to Original Hot Yoga because of wrist issues that make other styles of yoga difficult -- but I also love that HYP actually corrects students and makes you do poses correctly (within your ability); it seems that most other yoga studios in LA shy away from corrections at all.
HYP has also been great for me post-partum. Val's suggestions literally changed how I thought about holding my body after having a baby. Just wish I could go more often!

Thanks so much for this wonderful review Gina! We try offer that level of support in a respectful way so our students can gain more access and benefits from the class. I am so glad my suggestions have been helpful! We will see you soon.
I have been attending this studio for a month now and I LOVE it. All the instructors are so supportive and welcoming. I have not practiced hot yoga in a long time and was nervous starting the practice again and this studio is fantastic. I really appreciate the team there and it's a wonderful environment. :)

Thanks so much for sharing your experience Jaclyn! We love having you at the studio and are so glad you are loving getting back to your Hot Yoga practice. See you soon.
Hot Yoga Pasadena is a great place to heal from injuries and become stronger physically, mentally, and spiritually. The owner Val has created a family like environment where everyone is welcomed and celebrated. In every class, you will find students from all physical ability levels. The instructors are very knowledgeable, positive, and supportive with all their students. It will only take one class for you to become hooked. Give it a try!

Thanks Arthur. We strive to offer everyone an excellent experience and support every time they come to class. See you soon!
I’ve attended several Pilates studios over the years, but I’ve really fallen in love with Hot Yoga Pasadena. The instructors and fellow class members always bring such positive energy, and I really appreciate how they offer thoughtful modifications to make each class more or less challenging depending on your needs. I consistently leave feeling a strong sense of accomplishment and am always glad I showed up for myself.

We appreciate you sharing your experience Lauren! We love having you and it means a lot you brought your parents to share in the fun too. see you in class soon!
Hot Yoga Pasadena is AMAZING! The community feeling when you walk in the door whether you are a first time student or a regular student is warm, friendly, and welcoming. The health benefits are felt quickly, after only a few classes. It is a wonderful and healthy “addiction”! My husband and I enjoy a variety of classes. We participate in Hot Pilates, Yin, and Mobility and Stability classes. We love everything Val, the owner, offers. She has created an environment that you WANT to go to, even after a long, tiring day at work. It is uplifting, energizing, and rejuvenating.

Thx so much for this review Taleen. We love having you back in class and your energy is infectious!! Thx for brining Arthur back too! 😀
I had such a great experience at Hot Yoga Pasadena. I recently attended the Mobility Flow Pop-Up with Val, and it was incredibly humbling in the best way. I didn’t realize how much my body truly needed that kind of movement, stretch and attention until I took this class today. The mobility class wasn’t as hot as I thought it would be, but I definitely did leave drenched as I had to really challenge myself and step out of my comfort zone.
My wife and our best friends had been recommending this studio to me for a while since they come regularly for Hot Pilates with Val, Miranda, and Nati and now I completely understand why. The instructors are amazing, and the overall vibe is just so positive and energizing. I especially love how bubbly, funny, and interactive Val is with her students. It makes such a huge difference. I’ve done yoga classes before, and that level of connection and personality really elevates the experience.
The studio itself is spotless, super welcoming, and honestly smells really nice, which makes a big difference in a hot studio setting. The energy in the room is awesome and it feels motivating without being intimidating.
It’s also in a great location, which makes it easy to keep coming back. I’ll definitely be signing up for more classes and making this part of my regular routine.
I highly recommend taking Val’s class.

I am so glad you loved it Lily. We are so glad you are here and we can't wait to see you soon! Welcome to HYP!
I've been coming for almost a year now and I really enjoy the Pilates classes, but all the classes that are offered are great. It gives me a routine and structure in a workout regimen. All the Pilates instructors are Awesome! They don't push you but encourage you to do your best. Also provide modifications to each workout. I love that I can go at my own pace.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. This is our goal for everyone who attends our classes. that they feel seen and supported, and offered modifications and encouragement to get all they can out of class every time. We also know some folks prefer more space to have their experience. Thx again for sharing yours! HYP
These five stars are for Bri G! I haven’t been to hot yoga in two months and my first experience back was last week with Stephanie love and she nearly made me never want to come back to the Pasadena studio. I’ve taken a couple of classes with her and she never has bothered to remember my name. After taking my first class back in a while with Stephanie Love made the experience a negative one. Again I just want to praise Bri G for how kind she is, takes the time to remember your name create connections and the she fosters positivity in her classes. If you are new to hot yoga and want to take a barre class I would highly recommended you take a class with Bri G!
I’ve been practicing yoga here for over 10 years, and it has truly become a part of my life. The space is calm and welcoming, and the instructors are not only knowledgeable but also deeply caring. No matter what kind of day I’m having, I always leave class feeling more centered, stronger, and more at peace. This studio isn’t just about fitness—it’s a place for inner balance, healing, and quiet joy. I’m so grateful to have found it.
