Sumits Hot Yoga St. Louis

We typically hike on Sundays but when the weather doesn't cooperate we look for new and challenging indoor activities. Today was our 2nd time attending a hot yoga with Sumits and we brought 13 people with 9 first time hot yogis/yoginis! We strongly encourage trying new experiences/stepping out of our comfort zones and hot yoga was definitely one of those new experiences! The environment was great! It was very welcoming to all levels of yogis. The studio is a very large space that provided a great forum for our large group. Mats are only $2 to rent! The cold lavender towels are life savers at the end! Our Instructor Susan was great! She took the time to explain the poses in the beginning and went through the stretches a good pace. The entire experience was definitely that of a love hate relationship. We struggled, but none of us gave up and when it was all said and done we felt amazing! We highly recommend Sumits for hot yoga and will be returning! Oh and on Sundays you can bring a new friend for free!

Sumits is an awesome studio with amazing instructors and staff! Everyone is so friendly and helpful plus the environment is always clean! The classes are great if you’re looking for a good workout or just want to relax. I love this community and highly recommend!

Sumits Hot Yoga has been life changing for me. I was a barre addict before trying out Hot yoga, however I was looking for a new challenge as I was not seeing great results from barre. What I have found in hot yoga is so much more. I’m a totally different person now than I was in September of 2020. I am much more calm and so much less reactive in any stressful situations. My back issues I previously had are Resolved and I am way more toned and stronger than I ever have been! I highly recommend Sumits, your life and workouts will never be the same.

Melissa and Emily, the 2 owners, ARE BEYOND COMPASSIONATE, CARING, and they truly care about making Sumit’s Hot Yoga STL a safe & sacred place to practice hot yoga. Their passion overflows into their staff, and their business. I LOVE THE ENERGY when I walk through the front door 🙏🏼 Thank you Melissa and Emily for letting God’s grace overflow out of you and into our lives! You’re my yogi family forever!

I love Sumits! It is HOT as hot yoga should be. They do a great job keeping the space consistent, as well as creating an environment that allows you to show up authentically wherever you are in your practice that day. Many of the instructors (and owners) also practice in class. Their passion runs through and though!

This is, hands down, the BEST and most professional hot yoga studio I’ve ever been to! They keep everything so organized and clean. Staff is very personable and skilled. Just love taking classes here!! Thank you for being great!

I’ve taken two classes now and love it! Wish they had a few more “community classes”, I believe they are called where you can drop in for $10. Excited to return. Clean studio, nice and HOT.

Wow - I love this place! They are awesome. I've been doing yoga for decades but had never tried any heated yoga. Something forced me to change workout venues and I tried Sumits. I am SO glad I did!!! The workout is so good. Mentally & physically getting through the class because of the heat definitely adds another element to yoga that I've never experienced. Just be careful... it's seriously addictive but at least it's not a bad addiction to have. I'm so glad to be able to practice yoga at Sumits!!! - Things to know: 1. The flow is the same every class. If you are new to yoga this is good because then you can really get comfortable and know the class quicker since the poses are the same. If you are more experienced this is nice because you can really work on getting into the poses deeper & add variations when you'd like. 2. It's vinyasa flow with standing balances at the beginning of class. 3. Bring a yoga mat, yoga mat towel, and extra towel (for wiping off sweat).

My girl friends and I recently started hot yoga and we are all now hooked! Sumits is perfect for every level of experience. We are beginners and felt so at ease in the classes. It helps having an amazing instructor like Katy, too! She was the first person we had and I've come to her classes ever since. She makes everyone feel welcome and as though there is no judgement. The energy is amazing, and the class is fun yet challenging! I highly recommend Sumits to anyone interested in hot yoga! :)

I haven’t been here in so long. Yesterday I dropped in for a class and i instantly remembered why I love this place! The hot yoga is so good! It feels so nice and I feel accomplished after. The staff here is always so down to earth and welcoming. I enjoy this place a lot and will most definitely be back a lot more in the near future! If you haven’t tried it you are missing out! 💜

I am still brand new with Hot Yoga - or any Yoga - but I can tell you every single staff member and fellow student are above and beyond friendly, accommodating and welcoming. There is absolutely no pressure, competition or expectation whatsoever. Today will be my 8th day in a row and I am fully hooked. The staff and the fellow students are the biggest reason why, other than of course the great sweat and workout. I cannot recommend this place enough. I will be a customer/student for as long as I am physically able to be there.

Ran into the studio last second before a class and the lady at the front counter (Melissa I believe) was so inviting. She fit me into the class and made me feel welcome and comfortable. She ended up being the instructor for that class.
Being only my second time doing hot yoga I was definitely struggling half way through. I almost felt like I was going to pass out and she came over and put an ice cold towel on my neck...that was a LIFE SAVER! I felt so much better after she did that and at no point did I feel uncomfortable sitting out some of the class to catch my breath. I have attended another studio in chesterfield in the past and felt so uncomfortable there and pushed myself way to hard which is probably why i didn't return and use the rest of my classes. I will definitely be going back the Sumits for the main reason of comfort! It also was VERY clean and didn't stink of sweat! It smelled like essential oils and in the bathroom they had many toiletries in case you forgot something. This place went way above my expectations and I cannot wait to go back!

Just had my first class and the level of hospitality was amazing. Everything from when I entered the studio, Melissa greeted me and she was so friendly to my class with Jessica. I will be coming back again

Awesome studio and environment. I belong to another studio closer to home, but I always come back to Sumits on occasion because the atmosphere is unparralleled and the heat exceeds alot of other "hot" studios which provides an extra physical and MENTAL challange.

I've never had a workout I crave until now. Always feeling welcomed even when new and unsure. Had not worked out for years, not been a yogi but found I could follow and enjoy the routine. It seems the stronger I become, each pose brings new challenges and works every muscle in the body. My arms have gone from puffed to defined!! I LOVE the music!!! Each instructor brings their own unique energy and spirit to each class. All body types and levels. So often hear that someone has driven from the Hill or Washington, MO just for this Studio. Thank you for being less than ten minutes from home!!

I was TERRIFIED of trying Hot Yoga, but completely intrigued at why people RAVE about it. So, I took the plunge this week and OMG it was fantastic...hard, relaxing, and empowering all at the same time. The instructors here are simply phenomenal...kind, welcoming, completely motivating and encouraging. Sumits St. Louis is super clean (a non-negotiable to me), great location, the decor is fabulous, and I felt at home the moment I walked through the door. If I can do this as a VERY beginner with asthma, so can you!!! I'm still nervous and a bit self-conscious (100% self-inflicted, trust me!), but as soon as I begin with the 1st few poses that all goes away. By the end of class, I feel peaceful, strong, and happy. It is a "can do" for all shapes, sizes, and fitness levels...if you are even thinking about giving them a try, I say DO IT! You won't be sorry :)

This place is where my mom and I have found our passion for yoga ! My mom and I are so thankful for Melissa and the other outstanding teachers that have ignited our passion for Yoga.

This was my first experience with hot yoga. Mandy was beyond excellent as an instructor. Her ques were on point and her energy is infectious. The studio is very clean and its energy is warm and welcoming.

I first discovered Sumits Hot Yoga in Springfield, MO about 5 years ago. Since then I have moved away from Springfield, lived abroad, and became certified to teach Ashtanga and modified Ashtanga. I now live about an hour away from Sumits Hot Yoga Saint Louis and I sometimes can't help myself from making the trek out to Chesterfield for a Sumits class. For hot yoga, I have tried Hot Yoga Saint Louis, Bikram, a studio in Edwardsville, IL and Pure Hot Yoga in Springfield MO and I can honestly say nothing compares to Sumits. Though I became an instructor certified in a different branch, I can honestly credit Sumits with igniting a passion for yoga in me. The class can be extremely tough, but it is taught in a gentle and loving way that encourages practitioners to love themselves and listen to their own bodies. The poses in the class build balanced strength and flexibility in the body, targeting all areas, and builds balance as well as mental and emotional control. Sumits is by far the best hot yoga studio in Saint Louis. I only wish I lived closer to it so I could go more often. :)

Terrific studio, instructors and classes outstanding. Highly highly recommended, best yoga studio in St Louis. Poses, enthusiasm and energy at studio are the best.
