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.
Always clean. Spacious locker room with showers. Love the roll of plastic bags, for your wet clothing. Friendly & pleasant staff. Awesome instructors!!

My wife and I dropped in for a 7AM Bikram Yoga class. Coming from Toronto, we wanted to find a place with great reviews. The reviews definitely held up to our expectations. Anne was extremely hospitable and super kind - she is an amazing instructor and would highly recommend joining any of her classes. Looking forward to coming back when we revisit in the future! Thanks again Anne!

Love it … no frills, just do your yoga and move on kind of a place. Why not 5* ? Changing rooms quite basic and could do with a little upgrade, would also hope to see more vinyasa vs pure Bikram style classes … but overall still my studio of choice!

Been going to Hot Yoga Chelsea for years now, maybe a decade. I am so glad it's up and running again, too, after a very difficult year of closures. Hot yoga is my go-to spiritual practice/meditation-in-action... the beauty in the practice is the fruition. I get to stay in physical shape while I look at my awareness. Aside from that, I love how low-key, unpretentious, and homey this studio is. Everyone is treated as if they belong and there is no hierarchy of yogi practitioners here: I love it that way. Neil, who runs HYC, cares deeply about keeping it alive. Plus he plays great music at the front desk.Don't trust my review, come check it out yourself.

I practiced at Hot Yoga Chelsea on 5/29/2022 and had a wonderful 60 minute class led by Myrna. Neal was very hospitable and I felt warmly welcomed to the studio. I didn't see any lockers available, so if you're visiting from out-of-town, bring minimal items with you. Building entrance is locked - and if you miss the entrance - the pole studio next door is very friendly. They helped me find the right entrance. Look forward to my next visit to NYC and practicing again at Hot Yoga Chelsea!

I really wanted to give this spot a try. I arrived at 2pm for a 2pm class and was told I was too late to participate. The class hadn’t even started. But, sure, whatever.Still, whoever it was at the front desk, a shorter bald person, was super rude. I was hoping to try you all out through ClassPass, but that was such a negative first interaction.Edit: Ok, I spoke with the GM who was so kind and helped me understand the strict policy on lateness. They also reminded me that the instructors are there solo and taking on a lot. Not excusable but understandable. I was even offered a class redo. I appreciated that!

1st time back to hot yoga after a number of years. Very hesitant, strongly cautious due to Covid liftings and such. I wore my mask at times for my own comfort levels. Thank You HY Chelsea for presenting a new, clean, fresh, very welcoming environment. I've let my guard down enough to sign up for an unlimited month. Appreciate the air filtration system in the rooms. My only slight discomfort is that no one checks temperatures or Covid Cards. I confess during the practice I get a bit paranoid. But, I try to find a time/day when it is less crowded and I stand near the door. Would also appreciate it if there could be an announcement at start of classes- to those who tend to have sweat dripping and pouring over their mats in to the space of others!! Horrid! Maybe raise awareness for ppl to be aware of that? Thanks for understanding and Welcome Back.

On a recent trip to NYC I attended 4 hot yoga classes at Hot Yoga Chelsea. The studio is friendly, clean, and HOT! I had 4 different teachers, 3 who were excellent and unfortunately one who may have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed. I give her the benefit of the doubt and will rate the whole experience very positively. I will return on my next trip.

This is a wonderful hot yoga studio. The instructors are welcoming and accepting of you wherever you are in your yoga practice—from beginners to those with years of experience.Neil has assembled a great group of instructors. In the past, I tried hot yoga at other studios, and I was daunted by the doctrinaire philosophy and, frankly, the arrogance of the instructors. Not to be found here. Only acceptance of where you are at any given time, in the true yogi spirit.Hot yoga has been a great way finding relaxation, losing weight, and developing body confidence and awareness. Before practicing, I was having knee pain from an injury to my IT band of my right thigh, particularly when I walked down stairs. This has healed considerably, and I attribute it to the classes that I have taken at Hot Yoga Chelsea.

I’m excited to discover this studio. They offer a variety of classes - Hot HITT, Hot Vinyasa and Hot 26. The studio is clean and ventilates well. I have been in some gross carpeted Bikram rooms in the past that were really stuffy so I was happy to see these facilities were good. And everyone is really nice. The owner, Neal, goes out of his way to introduce you to people, making it a community feel.

I’ve never believed in organized religion because personally I’ve never felt the sense of community and spiritual connection so many claim to feel. Yoga has always been my church and is when I find that sense of community and sense of a higher power. Finding the right studio is really important to me and one of the hardest parts of the pandemic was not being able to practice in my “church”. I stumbled upon Hot Yoga Chelsea and was welcomed in with open arms. I was a little nervous but instantly felt at peace. The entire staff showed kindness and patience and I instantly gained that sense of community I missed so much. If you are looking for a studio that will bring you to a meditative state and leave you feeling stronger physically and spiritually (and dripping in sweat) look no farther.

I am so happy this yoga studio exists. i came here for a while before pandemic, and now I've been back a few months and it's better than ever. The teachers are amazing, they each have a slightly different vibe and if you come often enough you get to know each of them and appreciate their subtle differences in teaching the asanas. They are now teaching some Hot HIIT classes several times a week that are super fun and a nice change of pace from the yoga. The students are also very friendly and the whole place feels good to walk into. Highly recommend.

I came upon this gem of a studio after having followed some of my favorite instructors from a Bikram studio in Harlem. Since joining 6 days ago, I've practiced everyday, the most since 2020, and I couldn't be more impressed with the excellent instructors and friendly and clean environment. I can already tell that this is a place where community is built.

I’ve been coming to this studio for years and the staff and teachers have always been top notch. It is a great environment and they now have a variety of classes, but most importantly many of the classes are the traditional Bikram style which I love because it is much less stressful on my wrists! I highly recommend this studio.

An accessible and welcoming studio. They teach the classic 26+2 sequence, as well as hot HIIT and hot vinyasa. The instructors and owner are accommodating and supportive, whether it’s your first time or your hundredth. I know I can show up for any class and it will be awesome - all of the instructors are phenomenal! Students and teachers here are very committed to their practice, but with absolutely zero attitude or pretentiousness. The packages they sell are a great deal, plus they run additional promotions a few times a year.

I don't take the time to post a Google review very often, but this place deserves all the stars I can give it. I came to HYC just after the city started opening up again last spring, and I am so glad I did. As someone who has practiced hot yoga for nearly 20 years, I was looking for a new "home" to re-start my practice - and boy, did I find one! This studio is exactly what I look for as a place to not only hone my practice, but also to find a diverse, warm community away from the rigors of medical school. The instructors and staff are amazing, and the studio is sparkling clean always. If you are an advanced student, every single teacher is knowledgable enough to challenge you and push your practice further. If you are a beginner, you will feel comfortable and welcomed, without any of the "competitiveness" that so often can be found in yoga communities. Neil, the studio owner, genuinely cares about his clients, and makes sure every single student is happy, feels like they are wanted, and that they are a valuable member of the HYC community. If you're looking for a new home like I was, or if you want to give hot yoga a try for the first time, you should try this studio. Five stars aren't enough.

Just discovered that this studio is right around the corner from the hotel where I have stayed for years. Dropped in for a Bikram (26/2) practice and was absolutely elated. Super friendly and accommodating team. Mats and towels for rent for out of towners. But most of all, lovely studio and lovely energy from everyone ... from the front desk to the instructor/leader to the other yogis. While I'm a Bikram guy, they also offer a variety of other classes/styles as well. Will definitely be back. SICK that I've missed out for so long. N.B. they do have a small locker room and showers -- bring a lock and towel if you plan to clean up there.

I love this studio! I did hot yoga for years in California and was nervous to try it here in New York because I didn’t know what to expect. I’m so glad I found this place. The facilities are very, very clean. The actual space in which you practice is quite large which is nice because it’s prevents classes from feeling crowded. The instructors know what they’re doing and will kindly correct your pose if necessary to ensure you’re getting the most out of your session. All the staff whom I’ve encountered are so kind and welcoming. It really is such a pleasure to practice here. I highly recommend it!

Hot Yoga Chelsea has been a dream come true!! I just moved into the neighborhood and was looking for a studio to join. Upon arriving to HYC, the staff was super friendly and warm, as were the other students. It has a very supportive feel. The studio itself is very clean as well with locker rooms, showers, cubbys, etc, anything you need for pre during and post hot yoga! The classes are all so rewarding and challenging. I feel such an energetic shift after my class, leaving feeling stronger, more grounded, confident, flexible, and INSPIRED!! The teachers are all very informative and kind. I feel so grateful to have joined this studio. If you're looking for an awesome rewarding hot yoga practice (Bikram, Vinyasa, & HOT HIIT) this studio is for you!

words can not describe the love I have for this studio and the employees here! I starting taking classes in December and have been hooked to this "Hot Yoga Chelsea" family ever since... I am/ have been training for different marathons, while also being a dancer in the city... and taking classes here as much as I can has been a saving grace for my body, mind and spirt... I can feel myself growing in all aspects of myself with these classes AND inspiring teachers cultivating such a sacred, hard working space. Not to mention, Neil the owner has been nothing but generous and supportive of me and all my endeavors. From gifting me electrolytes to make sure my body is staying hydrated, to even just asking every time I walk in how I am and how my day is going, Neil and the people at this place create more then a space to just come a get a good stretch and sweat going... it's a family, community and you will not regret walking in and seeing what they are all about here!

This place and people here are truly a God send. The amount of compassion and courtesy expressed by the staff and trainers here eases the stress of day to day city living; believe me when I say, you will need it in that heat. The instructors help guide the practice with just as much care & compassion, all while putting you in a space to challenge yourself and grow.This place was really here for me during those Lock Down days ,when I losing my ISH. I definitely want this place to succeed, for it's long overdue that those, who displayLOVE, PATIENCE, ACCEPTANCE, & COMPASSIONnot just in words, but through actual practice begin toSUCCEED & WIN.

Absolutely love Hot Yoga Chelsea, mentally & physically challenging classes that leave you feeling so strong and refreshed. The classes are suitable for all levels - from the most advanced to modifiable for beginners. The regular hot yoga classes (Bikram & Vinyasa) are great but I loveeee Hot HIIT for something more fast paced. The instructors are knowledgable and passionate, and really motivate you to work to your potential. All in all, a great experience & I strongly recommend 🙂

Real people, real teaching, all heart. Some studios claim to teach "Hot Yoga", but this studio teaches the Bikram posture practice like how the yoga sutras intended yoga to be taught. Which is beyond the physical experience. I'm grateful and thankful for this space, the teachers and this practice.

Love this place! The instructors are awesome and all bring a unique flavor to their classes. I learn more about the postures every class and find new ways to push myself further in safe ways thanks to their continued guidance. I also like the layout of the room - even on the busiest of classes, you can still see yourself in the mirror and have enough space to do the poses. Just such a great community here.

I've been taking class at Hot Yoga Chelsea for the better part of a decade and it's one of the best places to practice hot yoga in the city! The room is hot, studio is clean and well sanitized, and the staff and teachers are great.You can't beat the price and the value is beyond!!

I have been practicing hot yoga with this team for years now. Even if I moved around Manhattan or Brooklyn, I always come here at least once a week. The staff and instructors are great.

I Heart Hot Yoga Chelsea! My very first impression when I came on a class pass was that everyone was very friendly and I felt welcome. This made me feel comfortable as it was my first Bikram class since the pandemic started. I have had a regular practice for about 4 years prior to the pandemic and my spine was really missing the heat and my mind was missing the discipline.I shortly after purchased a package.I would prefer to wear a mask personally but it is a challenge in the heat. That said, I may wear a mask if I feel the class has too many participants. So far, I have been lucky that there was decent spacing in class. I haven't been yet at night.I prefer the 90 minute classes as they are more effective (and I figure of I make the effort of going and schlepping all my gear: mat, mat towel, water bottles and regular towel plus a change of clothes). and there aren't as many on the schedule as the 60, but that is probably due to demand as most people are the opposite and just want to get in and out. Neil at the desk is very caring and takes the time to lend newbies a pair of shorts if needed which I think is sweet - bring shorts if you are new and reading this!The studio is extremely clean and they are constantly cleaning the floors.Locker rooms: Have small cubes and hair dryers. BYO lock. The shower area is very small but I am grateful that there is the option to shower after (as one needs to after hot yoga if going somewhere directly after like work!). On that note: My only criticism is that the towels could use an update - they are a bit on the scratchy side and well worn, so if you are able BYOTMy one caveat has nothing to do with the studio: People new to Bikram style yoga should obey the rules and respect other people in class. This means: NO fidgeting, NO Extra moves that are not part of the practice (like adding in your own routing during class) and NO TALKING TO YOUR FRIEND DURING CLASS! If you are new, create an exit strategy with your friend BEFORE class if you think you may not be able to take the heat!Enjoy!

I've been doing Bikram at Hot Yoga Chelsea since 2015 and recently returned to practice after the confinement lifted. The studio itself is being consummately cleaned and sanitized but, happily and luckily, Hot Yoga Chelsea has not managed to wash away their genuine kindness, understanding, and ambiance! All of what HYC had before remains: Courtesy, mindful and knowledgeable teachers, optimism, and an open opportunity to heal oneself through the practice itself. I feel very appreciative HYC is open and still delivering on its promises! I plan to be in the studio much more during the new year - Covid be damned! 🙂

Hot Yoga Chelsea was welcoming and professional from the get-go. As a first timer, staff was friendly and helped me check-in, directed me to where I could stash my shoes and coat, and I really appreciated that once the room began filling up, they came in to help shift people around so everyone had access to the mirror -- it's always awkward when the room is not evenly spaced out and it was a relief that HYC came to in to make sure everyone had a good experience. The class itself was fun and challenging. I would definitely recommend HYC and am so glad I found this place.

I've been a member since 2016, but have been going inconsistently throughout the years due to my love-hate relationship (stamina and inflexibility) with the poses and heat. Having been a member for all this time, I will say the professionalism and demeanor the staff and owner have towards the students have always been great. They make you feel welcome and try as best to make sure everyone's taken care of (e.g. get to know everyone's name over time, check everyone's general mat placement so they can see themselves in the mirror, answer any questions from students, etc.). I was honestly super happy to find out that they had re-opened. Since the pandemic, I had developed a much larger appreciation towards the poses and heat to help relieve my stress and anxiety from what's going on in the world. I also found out recently that they have a mix of other classes (hot vinyasa, hot HIIT, bikram 75, bikram 90), and am excited to eventually try the HIIT one.

What a great studio!!!! Niel could not be kinder and more accommodating. John’s class was phenomenal- been doing Bikram (classic 26:) for years and he’s the real deal. I learned so many little tips from just this one class. Very friendly place and they’re so willing to make things work for you.. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!
