I have gone to this studio twice while I was visiting the Truckee area. I do Barre classes in San…read moreJose, and I wanted to keep up on my practice while I was out of town. First, the studio is great - the room is spacious and clean, and they have a lot of great equipment, things my normal barre class doesn't even use (like these little ball weights, long stretchy bands and small stretchy bands). The people are also very welcoming. The class itself was great - as with all the Barre classes I've done, you work abs, seat, thighs and arms and this class did a great job at all of those, the exercises were just slightly different than I'm used to, but it was quick to pick up and was a nice change. Note to those of us who lives in the flatlands....drink plenty of water. You are in the mountains and you'll dehydrate much quicker than you realize. The first time I did this class, it really wiped me out. I realized later it was that I did not drink enough water with my workout. I highly recommend coming to this studio!

So I'm pretty new to hot yoga and it has dang near changed my life. I am in better shape now than…read moreI have ever been and I attribute it to yoga in general but I'll give a shout out to hot yoga. I've been to class at Hot Spot Yoga Studio 13 times now and have had each of the instructors at least once. They are all awesome, and different enough to keep it interesting. The studio is clean and simple, the instructors all lead class in a way that is welcoming to newcomers and challenging to experienced yogis. And, the HEAT! It's funny, I hate it but I love it. If I haven't been to class in a few days, I start jonesing for it. You WILL sweat your balls off. But the shower afterwards will be amazing and you'll feel euphoric for the rest of the day.

Both my wife and I took hot yoga classes at Hot Spot for about 6 months, and always had a good…read moreexperience. We have since moved out of the area, but have not been able to find a studio with the same quality and feel of Hot Spot. Our favorite thing about the studio is definitely the infrared heat. It gets you nice and warm during the class without getting stuffy or stinky in the room. Simply laying and soaking up the heat from the lamps feels amazing! If you start to feel too hot, stopping to catch your breath cools you off a lot faster than it would in a humid studio. The studio has a number of instructors that teach at all different times of the week. As with any yoga studio, it's always best to try a few classes to see whose style fits you best. We really loved the power Vinyasa classes with Jenny, Rosemary, and Beth. They were all easygoing and very responsive to feedback. Every instructor at Hot Spot emphasizes going at your own pace and treating your body well to make sure you can keep coming back. Don't let that fool you into thinking that the classes are easy - most of they time they kicked our butts! The prices are very fair for a Yoga studio - first class free and then $20 for unlimited for the introductory two weeks. After that, it's less than $70/month for the unlimited yoga. There are also frequently Groupons available for the studio, and other deals going on that you can ask about at the desk. I wanted to post a review for this studio because doing yoga at hot spot had such a positive effect on our lives and our health. Whether you are an experienced yogi or someone looking to try it out, Hot Spot is a fantastic choice.
