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.
Great studio - great teachers!

I was very thankful that this studio made it past Covid. They provide a service that is essential not only to physical health but mental health as well. The facility is always clean and they honor the practice with respect and dignity. This isn’t a place where people cruise in and out of the room or bring their cell phones into class. They are also kind and considerate enough to accommodate an emergency. If someone is feeling weak in class they bring a coconut water right away and encourage them to stay on their mat and not give up. I will be practicing at this studio for years to come and encourage others to as well.

I have been a bikram practitioner for 18 years. I was visiting NYC for the weekend and thought I would take a class. The staff and hot yoga Chelsea were so welcoming ! It felt like home the minute I entered the studio. I had the most delightful and knowledgeable teacher. I like the hottest spot in the room and she showed me the perfect spot. Very good vibe ! Will definitely return next time I am in the city !

I love it here! I go to several studios in the city in Brooklyn/Manhattan and this one is my favorite- they have a lot of classes at times that aren’t always available at other studios. Love the community and the location/ near many trains/busses. I highly recommend it. Also the prices are great!

I love this place - it took me three years to find a new place to go after my old bikram place closed during covid and I am so happy to be here every time. Very traditional, laid back atmosphere. Bare bones and perfect. They also offer 90 minute full bikram classes which are amazing if you feel up for a challenge. Thank you Hot Yoga Chelsea!! ❤️

While Bikram is not for the faint of heart I cannot say enough good things about this no frills Hot Yoga studio. There is body and racial Diversity that makes for an extremely welcoming environment. Teachers move with kindness, discipline and respect for the practitioners and the craft itself. I’ve been coming more regularly for the last few months but have been coming for years- and really feel thankful for the accepting and powerful space that’s created irony every class! Do yourself a favor and go for a sweat but stay for the caring culture!

One of my favorite places to do yoga in the city! If you’re not familiar with Bikram yoga it’s poses and balancing and not a vinyasa flow. Drink lots of water before class and get ready to sweat like you’ve never sweat before! If you’re up for the challenge of Bikram yoga you’ll have a blast and fall in love with this studio!

Literally so incredibly amazing. I've never done hit yoga, haven't even done regular yoga in about a year, but this class seriously converted me. INCREDIBLE. I've never felt so at ease. Such a welcoming, beautiful, judgement free environment. I honestly can't wait to go back and being my friends. Couldn't have asked for a better instructor and class.

I am so glad to have just found this lovely studio after not being able to do Bikram since early 2020 do to the pandemic and my Harlem studio closing during all of that chaos and hardship. The teachers are wonderful and even some from my old studio are here too - HYC has given the start of 2023 perfect momentum for my joy and my goals. Highly recommend it!!

I have been attending classes here for over one year, and I cannot recommend this place enough. The owner is so kind and generous. I took a hiatus due to an (unrelated) sports injury and he remembered me after a few months of no attendance. The instructors are all equally friendly. They greet everyone who they’ve met by first name and make class friendly and inviting. It is well equipped for all levels. The instructors help advanced Bikram attendees refine their practice and provide beginners modifications and solo instruction. I’ve even seen instructors drop attendees a bottle of water or electrolytes. The community is diverse, friendly, and not intimidating. All around a beautiful studio.

Let me start by saying Hot Yoga Chelsea (HYC) has been a game-changer for me in 2022! I experience the healing, exhilarating, and meditative effects of my yoga practice after every class. After a 2 1/2 year hiatus because of the pandemic, I discovered HYC in October 2022 and have been practicing ever since. It’s a welcoming community of friendly teachers and practitioners of all levels. HYC offers a variety of classes across various forms such as Bikram, Vinyasa, and Hot Hitt at durations of 60, 75, and 90 minutes. The studio is clean, the temperature in the room well-regulated, and the cost of the packages are affordable. In addition, I can’t say enough good things about the terrific teachers whose guidance benefits those new to yoga as well as seasoned yogis. The instructors also gladly offer appropriate modifications for those with injuries or medical conditions. So whether you’re a novice or experienced, I strongly recommend you try HYC and show up on the mat! Namaste.
