Our Mission

We believe that yoga is for everyone regardless of age, body type, or experience level – it’s never too late to start your yoga practice. At Hot Yoga Chelsea our mission is to provide a genuine and fulfilling hot yoga practice that will contribute to the physical and emotional health of our students. We are excited that you have chosen us to share in this remarkable personal journey!

Yoga has the potential to be a lifelong practice, especially when you are encouraged to come and just do the best that you can. Our traditional Bikram-inspired Hot Yoga & Hot Vinyasa is suitable for beginners, and offer multiple benefits including increase in flexibility, balance, strength, elevated mood, weight loss, and more!

Non-waiver:
It is a common practice for yoga studios and gyms to greet you with a registration form which in essence says; “Sign up! Pay us and we take no responsibility for your well being.” We have always struggled with that being the basis of our relationship with our students. Therefore we believe that we are in partnership with you, and that if you agree to the following common sense guidelines we are certain that you will have a healthy, empowering experience that will enrich your well-being.

  • No Teacher knows what your are feeling physically, mentally or emotionally.
  • Listen to your body, listen to your intuition. If you are unaccustomed to this, yoga provides you the opportunity to develop it.
  • Never force, muscle, or aggressively perform the asanas/yoga poses. Moderate your enthusiasm with wisdom. Be active NOT aggressive.
  • Your breath is a great barometer of your practice; if your breath becomes choppy, short or strained…. it’s your bodies way of telling you to back off and take a break.

Thank you for joining us in partnership to ensure a safe and healthy practice. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Hot Yoga Chelsea is independently owned and operated.  Hot Yoga Chelsea fully supports people from all over the world who have a shared desire for justice to act together in their communities. That commitment is a stand against the deliberate violence inflicted against people of color.

Hot Yoga Chelsea is amazing. What great teachers. I am brand new to Bikram yoga and the teachers Tasha, Richard, and Jessica have been so supportive and are gentle kind i structors. I highly recommend to give it a trial- first time local residents can get an intro package for 3 classes
For $29.
I had been looking to get back into hot yoga, and was over the popular workout scene in New York. This is the real deal. If you care about your practice, bettering yourself, this is the studio for you. Such a gem in New York.

I love this place - been taking classes here for years. It's standard 90-minute Bikram and 60-minute Bikram-light, as well as some other types of hot yoga classes they've added in over the years. The studio is quirky and modest, but well-equipped and the teachers are great. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys hot yoga, and specifically Bikram-style.
Response from the owner:We appreciate your support, John.

I’ve taken several classes already and I’m hooked! The instructors respect the original practice and structure of Bikram and the corrections are always done thoughtfully. The manager creates a welcoming environment. Ask for the electrolyte water.

It’s always a bit nerve wracking to try a new hot studio, but my first class here was wonderful! First, upon arrival, I found the studio clean and organized with a desk attendant who was extremely friendly, welcoming, and chill, even though I was cutting it a little close to the start of class time! The studio itself is spacious with high ceilings and a floor that is a little bit soft with give, instead of rock hard. They are working on building a second studio room! The temperature was nice and hot but not unbearably sweltering, with a perfect humidity level. I took a 75 minute traditional class with music and it was an extremely uplifting and rigorous workout. My class was lead by a proficient, kind, and commanding expert who I felt comfortable and safe with. After the class, there was ample time to cool down on my mat and then take a shower in one of the three available stalls in the women’s changing room. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I will definitely be returning!!

Used to take class here regularly before the pandemic and did a drop in class this morning. As good as ever ! The facility was spotless, friendly staff, the 60 minute class was a nice pace. Clean lockers and Neil gave me a free water afterwards. Check them out! You won’t be disappointed.
Response from the owner:Joe, thanks for the nice review!

This was my first time and it felt amazing! I had Richard, who supported me through the entire way. He had noticed that I was struggling a bit midway through, to which I was met with electrolytes and love. Couldn’t recommend this studio more!

Never have an issue booking a class, no weird cancellation policies, and super supportive staff. The owner is particularly great and highly involved in quality management, even helped me register for my first class while in Florida during the holidays and then again for the yoga challenge. You just feel so comfortable in the space and l really don’t think you can beat the prices here. I’m looking forward to the addition of new classes, the instructors are sooo good, too! There are no foul smells, the floors have a nice soft and warm texture, and the studio retains heat very well. I’m happy here 🙂

My absolute fav teacher is Charlie! She is a very attentive instructor. Loved taking her classes. Great energy. I like Sasha’s classes too. Very sweet and genuine girl ☺️
The room is extremely hot. Even though I’m a teacher myself I was humbled by the heat (I’d recommend the 60min classes)
Neil (owner) gives you great deals!

Bikram Yoga is such a great experience - the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. I usually take classes with Charlie, Jermnire, and Eva, and what I really love is how much attention they give to posture and alignment. They make sure you’re doing each pose correctly, helping you improve and advance your practice over time. Sometimes they even offer extra free classes to nurture your yoga spirit. At the reception, there’s a funky guy who greets you with roses and electrolytes, adding a fun and unique touch. It’s truly a cool place to be!
