HOT YOGA downtown

I've never done hot yoga before and my friend had nothing but good things to say about this place...so naturally I gave it a try. I got the 1-month unlimited intro offer and haven't looked back since! I realized I REALLY love hot yoga (just what my body needs after heavy weight lifting) and I love love love the staff. Being a beginner, I was very nervous at the start, but thankfully I've always felt welcome and comfortable doing yoga here and going at my own pace/modifying movements when needed. Many kudos to the staff!

Definitely worth the $$, highly recommend.

I’ve tried many different yoga studios in Albuquerque and HYDT is my favorite, hands down! The instructors are the best. Always welcoming, kind, and excited to teach. They all bring something unique and different to their classes. You’ll walk out of the studio feeling amazing. I always do!

This was my first experience with hot yoga and it was lovely. The facility is well maintained and has amenities like shower, towels, and yoga mats you can borrow free of charge. I took two Vinyasa sessions with Ravenna and thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoyed the structure of her class: It began with grounding in breathing techniques, and then gradually progressed in difficulty. She did a great job ensuring all experience levels were appropriately challenged.

Clean, relaxing, and friendly. Staff make this yoga studio a wonderful place to practice. Caleb was our first instructor and we can’t wait to come back to another one of his classes! Highly recommend this studio and Caleb!

I’ve only been going here a few months but I felt welcomed immediately. The instructors are friendly and courteous and really seem to make the effort to establish a community environment. The classes are mixed with some instructors being more challenging than others (which is great in my opinion).

Also - I really appreciate the emphasis on breath and introspection. Many yoga studios strictly focus on the work out but here you get a mix of both.

Truly the best yoga studio in New Mexico. Danielle who manages and teaches at this studio is the Best in Class. Other teachers are also absolutely wonderful. The studio is clean and well maintained, providing on-site shower/lockers plus towels and mats rental. There are on average 6 classes per day everyday from early morning to night. Overall, I am so fortunate to be able to practice in this place and will be a life long customer.

After being a gypsy since June 2022, and going to many hot yoga studios across the country, I have not found a single yoga studio that I love as much as this one. The instructors are excellent, you can scale up or down with their cues, the room is bright and light.
The best!!!

The most humble and comforting yoga environment i've ever experienced. Very clean and friendly with high quality classes and instruction with the best teachers in Albuquerque. You are greeted with the most warming and beautiful community. A very accepting home to all.❤

Love doing hot yoga here! The staff are amazing, good workout. I'll continue coming here for sure.

I absolutely recommend doing yoga here! I don't typically do HOT yoga but I make an exception for this place because it's just the best. Every teacher puts their own unique touch on the class, so you can go every day of the week and there will be a new pace/body focus/depth to work with. The vibe was friendly and informal, welcoming to many different levels of experience. There is the opportunity to push yourself or relax as much as you need. And a sweet sense of community. Special thanks to Danielle who was consistently so kind and welcoming at the front desk, and a wonderful teacher as well.

I have been a consistent hot yogi attendee at this studio for over 10 years. Through a recession, stressful times and a pandemic this studio, it's staff, owners and teachers are PROFESSIONAL, loving, attending, and caring. This place puts Love and Peace at the forefront and provides a safe space for all to practice yoga. This studio provides community, education and a safe, clean, comfortable space to practice yoga. They also understand that everyone is different. As such they respect people enough to provide different variations of poses, with instruction to ensure all attendees receive the full benefit of the practice. This studio educates, cares for, and gives back to the Albuquerque community through the simple bractice of breathe , loving and caring. I recommend this studio so highly ( and so do many friends and colleagues of mine ) that consistently I
see previous clients that have moved out of state attend a class when they are in town; I also have taken many out of state guests to a class myself because how AMAZING this studio is . This staff provides a very clean space ( yoga room is cleaned / sanitized after every class ), education during and after each class , and personalized service with a staff that knows your face without having to look you up. I LOVE HOT YOGA DOWNTOWN ALBUQUERQUE!!!!!

LOVE THIS STUDIO ❤

Just moved to Albuquerque a few weeks ago and this is my favorite find! My first class was with Danielle and her flows were challenging and unlike any Hatha or Bikram class I’ve tried. Her flows change each class so my body and mind have new material to work with each time and she pays special attention to the breath. I’ve taken classes with Allisun and Kelly now, as well as a couple more with Danielle and it’s clear the instructors at Hot Yoga downtown have tremendous passion combined with experience in various practices to share with this community; each class is so fresh and unique. The space is also incredible, I really enjoy practicing next to the side wall of windows. The showers are also fantastic! Thank you for this gift!!

This place is a blessing. The instructors are very friendly, they make you feel welcome. Their class are amazing and their instruction has you flowing throughout the class. Can’t say enough good things about em. love this place.

I love this place! I was only in town for 2 months for work and it was my favorite place in Albuquerque. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have managed to create an incredible community here and you feel welcome and at home from the minute you walk in. No matter what your skill level is you will feel conferrable practicing here.

My friend and I signed up for the intro 30 days for $30 deal and absolutely loved coming to classes. The instructors, especially Tiffany, were so kind, encouraging, and welcoming. Over this past month of classes we have gone 11 times! We gained skills and a love for hot yoga. Be prepared to sweat and feel accomplished!

I wish I could give more than 5 starts. HYDT is my favorite hot yoga studio in Albuquerque for so many reasons, where do I even start:

1. Unlike a traditional Bikram studio, I love that each teacher has the flexibility to teach the classes/poses/sequences the way they choose. Every teacher is as unique as every student, and experiencing the individuality of the different teachers and classes is such a joy and helps keep my practice fresh. Love teaching a full sun salutation? Great! Like to mix it up and not call for a single full sun salutation? Even better! This studio has taught me that yoga can be so many things and should not be confined by a box of expectations.
2. Every class is as simple or advanced as you want it to be. There are some days I feel like a total badass and just want to power through every pose making the class as challenging as possible, and some days I need to slow it way down and take it easy. Every class here can be experienced they way you need it to be on that particular day. The teachers are great about allowing you to challenge yourself if you need to and encouraging you to go easy on yourself if you need to which makes each class welcoming to all levels of yogis. Again, there are no expectations on how a student should perform in any given class.
3. The studio itself. They have done such a great job at making the studio feel completely sanitary without feeling stark or harsh. They have the best flooring in the hot room- clearly hygienic and antimicrobial with its porous design. You see the instructors spraying it down to sanitize often and yet it doesn't ever smell off-putting. The locker rooms/showers are always squeaky clean and inviting at the same time.
4. The teachers. The best in town, for sure. They are all so great and clearly very knowledgeable. As I said before, the teachers create their own classes/sequences/playlists and I am always impressed with the amount of dedication that must go into planning each class. It's nice to get to know them through their classes because you find certain sayings that each of them say become very comforting and make you feel like you're home. Some of my faves: Mericka, Dani, James and the queen herself- Molly. The music is always good, but of course, sometimes something comes on that is distracting and/or causes frustration which I find as a great reminder to let go of what is happening outside of my body and look within to search for the reason that brought me there in the first place.
Love this place and happy it is my yoga home.

As a practitioner of yoga for the past 20 years and also as a teacher, I have to praise this studio. I have visited my fair share of yoga studios across two decades. Everywhere from Sweden, via other parts of Europe and the US. This is truly a wonderful studio, with great heat, intelligent sequencing, community is fantastic, and people kind and caring. Studio is clean and well run. Visitors will find anything they need before and after class. This is one of those rare studios that put the yoga, the student, and health benefits of hot yoga, before profit. Their prices are a lot lower than other yoga studios and they offer generous discounts and payment plans. As someone living in Santa Fe an hour away, I wish we had this good a hot yoga studio in Santa Fe, but we don’t. I wish the owners would clone themselves and open a location here. I love Hot Yoga Downtown. Thanks for providing a great place for making me a better person inside and out. ❤🔥

Great class during holiday visit.
Lockers available, mats & blankets available. Enjoy the yoga instructors flow and modifications so you can be challenged or learn where to start off comfortably.

Thank you HYDT for the amazing yoga practice today. I want to give a shout-out to some of the amazing instructors: Alison is creative and challenging and her transitions are beautiful, Danielle takes you to a place you don’t think you can go, Ravenna’s warm and nurturing flow turns off my mind, Ashley is powerful and playful and helps me let go of perfection, and Andrew makes the “hard” yoga stuff doable and accessible. Every time I leave HYDT I feel a sense of confidence to continue with the craziness of life. Thank you 😊

Nicole is an excellent teacher! I was in town for work and got to catch a few of her classes. She is calming but still offers a butt-kicking class. If I lived locally I’d be at her class often. Such a gem of a studio, too! Lockers, showers, and plenty of space in the heated yoga room.
