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 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 on all people and most recently against people of color.

This is the best yoga studio in the area. The classes are amazing and the instructors are knowledgeable and helpful, whether you are a beginner or long-time yogi. The owner Neil is wonderful and everyone there is so welcoming and kind. Cheap mat and towels rentals, beverages, and nice showers. The studio is also taking precautionary measures against covid and everything is cleaned and sanitized properly. Go to Hot Yoga Chelsea for a great sweat, great company, and great vibes!

I just moved to Chelsea and planned on trying out various yoga studios nearby to find the one I liked the most. It’s been a couple months and I still haven’t tried another studio. The welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff were a great fit off the bat. I’ve been to studios in the past where the vibe has been snobby, some where I felt like an outsider who didn’t belong. That couldn’t be further from the vibe at Hot Yoga Chelsa. The instructors are great and the owner is incredibly pleasant. All of them truly care and go above and beyond to take great care of the students.

I started going to Hot Yoga Chelsea since Bikram Yoga Harlem had to close down during the pandemic. They offer amazing rates, really friendly and talented teachers and a size-able and clean studio. I love the class schedules as well. It’s nice to take a 60 minute class during the week but be able to do 90 minutes when I have time for it. Really awesome studio! I only wished they posted the teachers names on classes.

Hot Yoga Chelsea is the place to go for hot yoga in NYC - its absolutely the best. Neil, the owner, is friendly and welcoming to all, and has a genuine interest in their well-being. If a yoga establishment had an analogy to Cheers, this would be it - everybody is welcome, and they do know your name. The instructors are top notch - just to a name a few Richard, Tasha, Kat are great, and Monique always hiits it out of the park. Give the classes a try, you will be hooked just as I was!

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 started doing Bikram again after a long hiatus and love the vibe of this studio. The staff are friendly, knowledgable and kind. I love that they also offer HIIT classes, in addition to the 60 or 90 minute Bikram options. The overall space is large, so it's easy to social distance during this stupid pandemic.I chose this studio over others because of the affordability and the many class time options available. Neil, Richard, Zack have been great--very accommodating, and among other things, open to listening about the cat shelter I am involved with, haha!

Like that studio A LOT! It’s simple but clean, 3 showers in ladies room (I assume the same I men’s changing room), bathrooms, very clean studio floors, but most importantly amazing teachers and plenty of seasoned practitioners with stellar discipline. Highly recommend to original hot yoga lovers!

Hot Yoga Chelsea changed my life! I've been working out for over 30 years and a professional trainer for over 15. The missing part of my fitness practice was hot yoga! In the few years I've been going to Hot Yoga Chelsea, my balance, mobility and flexibility have improved substantially. But more so, the breathing exercises and clear mindfulness practice have made me a better person in all aspects of life. I would give TEN STARS if I could. Everybody needs hot yoga! HELLYEAH!-DK

Great hot yoga studio! Professional instructors, friendly management and well maintained. Often after class, the manager will refill your bottle with fresh cold water and even add electrolytes. Such a lovely touch when you are coming down from such an intense workout. I see many returning students like myself which is also a great sign.

Would definitely recommend if you’re looking to practice hot yoga!

I’ve been practicing here for years. The teachers are absolutely outstanding, it’s a great place for beginners, people with advanced practices, and everyone in between. I would recommend anyone start, or continue to practice here. It is a fantastic place to establish and maintain a super solid hot practice. I always leave feeling that singular sense of clarity that only this hot series provides. When you step into this room, you commit to the best version of yourself, taking on poses which are simultaneously relaxing and challenging, and result in the ultimate sense of renewal as we open up many areas which need our attention, and which, in daily life, we often neglect! For example, as a side sleeper, I am always invigorated by opening up my side within the first few minutes of class, and it only gets better from there. I highly recommend this practice and studio, having attended classes elsewhere, where they do not care if students do it wrong or right. There is a world of difference in the benefits of the students when teachers care if the poses are done correct, and they don’t hesitate to invite you to sit back and watch if it’s your first time around, and provide examples so that everything is done safely. Learn here, learn well, and enjoy!

A wonderful place to practice Bikram-style hot yoga. If you are not familiar with Bikram yoga and it's your first time to the practice you can not find better studio! You are in good hands here. Do read up a bit about the practice to know what to expect (i.e. static poses, disciplined environment, following dialog from the teacher, 104 degree room!). The teachers are the best and Neil at the front desk is always welcoming.

I can’t figure out why this place has good reviews.Yes, its the only or one of the only hot yoga places that have been open in NYC.I ordered a package of 5 passes by phone. Owner was very quick to charge me and said he would send me the passes via text.I then followed up three times! Still nothing. I then asked for a refund and he apologized and asked how I would like the refund so I said put it back on my card, and provided my card details over text.Still no response. I had to do a chargeback and am also going to get a new card now because I don’t trust this guy.There are many other hot yoga places open or opening back in NYC and you should consider those options instead.

Top notch hot yoga studio! Got a great deal on a 20 class package before covid...no problem picking up where I left off now that they are reopened. Neil and the check-in gal very professional and great attitudes. Definately suggest the pre-class drink powder mix Neil let me try out...hydration is key before and after class with the hot yoga!!Jenny (instructor) was superb and she (as well as the ones I remember before Covid) knew their stuff and offered encouragement and pointers throughout. All positive vibes here...you're gonna feel great afterwards!

Really fantastic studio. I practiced Bikram for many years at another studio but am so glad I found Hot Yoga Chelsea. I was concerned about going back to a group fitness environment, but Hot Yoga Chelsea has all safety precautions in place. They even have someone regularly cleaning and wiping down floors, door knobs, etc. Wearing a mask during class is no problem at all - I was surprised how quickly I forgot I was even wearing one. Everyone at this studio, from the owner, to the instructors, to the students are respectful. This studio has a real relaxing vibe - not a gym like vibe that exists at other hot yoga studios. Highly recommend!

One of the best hot yoga studios in the city currently. I've been going to various hot yoga studios all over the city post covid shutdown, and this by far is the most spacious, clean, and friendly. So many of the other studios in the city are in very tight spaces, and not very friendly despite the premium prices yoga classes are going for at the moment. This studio hit the sweet spot: value, safety, and friendliness. Highly recommend!
Jorge Morales

This studio is wonderful! I was a bit hesitant to return to group exercise as a physician who has seen the worst that Covid can do but I was impressed at the high level of caution and sanitation. I am also grateful that they honored the package I bought before the pandemic started. Teachers are great, owner is very generous, I really missed hot yoga! We owe it to each other to support those doing their best to reopen with care...

This place is basically the yoga studio version of the Bar from Cheers. For people under the age of 30, Cheers was a sitcom in the 80’s and the main line was “where everybody knows your name”. Hot Yoga Chelsea has that same type of community feel.The owner, Neil, always makes a point to greet everyone by their first name, and introduces the students to one another, building an awesome rapport with the people you’re sweating your butt off next to every class.The instructors all have their own styles, which gives good variety since we’re doing the same 26 poses each class. I’m extremely grateful that they stayed alive during the pandemic. Definitely recommend.
