James is the best yoga teacher I've ever experienced. On point, changes things up, music is all instrumental, hear him Clearly, challenging but fair level... perfect 1.5. read more

Every class I take at Melt feels like an hour well spent. The heat is intense and challenging, but it pushes you beyond your limits in the best way. You leave not only physically stronger, but mentally more confident in what you're capable of. The instructors play a huge role in that--especially Elisei, whose mantras always seem to land exactly when you need them most, keeping you motivated to push through and keep going. read more

James is one of the best instructors in South OC. His class is the perfect mix of challenging but restorative. I constantly come to this studio because I've found Melt has the absolutely most consistent high quality instructors in the area and I've been doing hot yoga for almost 20 years. The packages they sell are extremely competitive in the market and are the most flexible to use. I'd highly recommend Melt as a top yoga studio. read more

My absolute favorite hot yoga studio! I've tried several as this is a drive for me, I still come back. Feels authentic, peaceful, you and your mat so ability doesn't matter in that room. Love the curtains open for sunshine and occasional fresh air. The staff and instructors are wonderful! Excellent client service. read more

Just wanted to say how much I love Melt... the energy is always so welcoming, classes are amazing, the teachers and the community make it such a special place. Every class makes me feel stronger, and more connected ... I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. Thank you for creating such a beautiful space. MJ read more

Great instructors and so much variation from class to class. Something for all levels!!

I have been loving the positive vibe and energy! Great flows, music and teachers! The environment is so clean and peaceful too!

Been going for 10 years or so.....Such a great community!! It's a workout you could never get on your own at a gym!!! read more

I loved the focus on the mindfulness of the session with the story told. And the flow of the movements really opened me up in all the best ways! Also facility was super clean and the people were lovely. read more

Great instructors, great facility. Many class types to attend depending on how you are doing for the day

The atmosphere was calming, the flow felt natural and balanced, and the instructor's thoughtful phrases throughout the class were deeply healing. I left the class feeling refreshed, grounded, and recharged. read more

Bummer of an experience. You can't list that you have towels on your page if someone shows up for a first time class and you say oh sorry we have no towels. It would have been one thing if it was said with some sort of awareness of how unprofessional that is but it was a whole separate issue when the blonde haired Australian woman at the front was a total Karen about it. read more

Clean studio and Friday's noon class instructor was very thorough with cues. Vinyasa flow was creative that incorporated a variety of fundamental poses into the sequence. Love the invitation for pauses throughout Sun A to allow for breath work. Sequence was also unconventionally long which made it all so challenging. I loved that change of pace! read more

Amazing yoga teachers who truly inspire and care. can't recommend this studio enough. What sets them apart is how much they genuinely care about every student in the room. They have this amazing ability to make a full class feel like a private session. I'm always impressed by their creative sequencing--no two classes are ever the same, which keeps my practice feeling fresh and soulful. Truly a life-changing experience. read more

Melt is an amazing studio. The front desk staff are all kind and empathetic and do their best to take care of the studio and clients. Some classes are very popular so you might find yourself without a spot in the class or a towel if you don't plan ahead. Arrive 15 minutes early if it's your first time for a peaceful and relaxed experience. Or book online to reserve your spot read more

I go to this studio every time I am in town - over a year now. It is clean, convenient schedule, and all instructors have been great.

Instructors are all amazing, especially - Arch, James and Nicole. Everyone has great vibes !

The instructor, i forget her name, the 7:30 class. She kept saying, things like add-on medication's for depression. And how yoga can solve all of that. That was the general message I got. I've been on antidepressants for years, I don't need a yoga, instructor telling me medical advice. I'm sure she's great at teaching yoga but I think she needs a stay in her own lane And not give out medical advice., Unsolicited medical advice. read more

Nice and clean, the teachers are professional! I love the music and of course the heat!!

Great balance of guidance, support and challenge. The instructors all have their unique styles which provides a variety of positive experiences. read more

Absolutely loved this yoga class! The flow, the energy, and James's guidance was top-notch. I left feeling refreshed, grounded, and completely recharged. Easily a 10/10 experience! read more

l love the pacing and the music in the classes and of course the heat ! Also like that there's a noon class available read more

Melt provides a variety of hot yoga classes with skilled and supportive instructors. The classes are always very challenging, but also exactly what I need that day. Most instructors will provide up and down level options along with always encouraging the class to push through. Always great music selection and creative flows! read more

Best yoga class I have ever taken! I absolutely loved the instructor Amanda. She was so kind and uplifting. Her flow was beautiful and the way she was speaking about the balance between strength and vulnerability was incredible. Awesome teacher, awesome class, awesome studio! read more

I appreciate the guides, the music, and the routines that change after a few weeks. The instructors seem to care about our session and helping us do our best. read more

As someone who just started going to the studio sometimes it's scary trying a new studio and nerve racking trying to understand the flow of a studio but it was really easy to fit right into!! I love the sculpt classes and everyone is kind!!! I have the best workout!!! The best time!!! read more

Melt is my favorite hot yoga in the area. I have tried many studios and I love that each teacher has their own style of teaching. I appreciate the uniqueness of each class and that teachers are able to add their own flare into each class. I never get bored and I am always challenged. read more

Update on 6/2, 5:30pm - Maria from the front desk has since called me back and refunded me today's class and more importantly, apologized and empathized with my friend and I's reaction to this overly harsh policy (especially since we were ignorant of the new rules, since they had not been communicated to us.) I am relieved I don't have to go searching for a new hot yoga studio, as I do love my early Sunday morning routines here! ---------------------- Sun 6/2, 10am: I have been coming here weekly for a few years. Today, my friend and I arrived at 7:27am. The front door was locked so we went around to the studio side. Carolyn (the instructor) opened the door and said she would not be able to let us in the front, nor let us in the side. No one in the class volunteered to let us in either. We walked away, baffled. It wasn't until 30 minutes later, after discussing it at length with each other, that my friend was smart and pulled up Melt's Instagram account. There was a post saying there would be new rules starting June 1 (yesterday.) We did not get an email or any notification about these drastic changes (i.e., you must be 4 minutes early or you won't be let into the class), nor was it mentioned verbally at last week's class, nor was there a sign posted in the window of the studio. My friend and I did reserve this class but did not check in, so we are hoping we were not charged. If we are, we will be complaining. I have a few more classes left on my 10-pack, but after using those up, I will be taking my weekly business to another studio closer to my house in Mission Viejo. read more

Best instructors (partial to James , Nicole , and Stephanie ) ... best classes (I'm 56 and a busy hairdresser so this is like heaven on an aging body ) and the studio is clean and always growing (trying to keep people quiet in the yoga room / stopping late admissions which truly are disruptive) ... and location. I've tried others . Nothing compares to Melt read more

Amazing yoga studio! Amazing professional caring staff. The teachers are passionate, engaging and knowledgeable. I adore them all. Today I had the pleasure of taking Arch's class. It was nourished my soul and strengthened my body. Since practicing at melt I have developed wonderful friendships and am so grateful to be part of such a beautiful community. read more

Great teachers and an amazing studio to join. Great for all levels. Very clean Thank you Melt! read more

Melt Yoga is a sacred space I need to melt down and practice my discipline. It is The Place to dissolve my self-inflected barriers and ego. I Love the instructors, The staff (specially Maria) The Yogis, The Location and Everything about this Sacred Place read more

I think the instructors are wonderful. Stephanie is very deliberate and patient as she moves us through the poses. I like that because I am not very flexible so more time to hold and transition works for me. Arch is fantastic as well because she is so sweet and positive and gentle but she kicks our ass with a smile. Her classes are too crowded and I would appreciate some sort of control or limit ... no space in her classes so that does not work for me. Keri is wonderful in the power fusion flow. Predictable but in a good way because I can really work on a known set of poses and flows. Estella's is excellent at pushing us where we do not believe we can go. I really love her in Power Fusion. I struggle with Estella's Melt 2 as it feels fast for me and maybe geared toward the more advanced Yogi. I do understand where she is coming from and I do appreciate that ... she is trying to push us out of our comfort zone. She is also trying to help us with more advanced poses ... I am just not that good. James is calming and very good in the Melt classes. He is very skilled at telling us what is coming and guiding us ... I never get lost with James. I do not do the cardio sculpt classes as that is not where my goals are. It is a great class and very popular, just not what I am interested in. I would appreciate more one-on-one but I know that is difficult with larger classes and limited time. Any time one of these fine instructors comes up to me and corrects me (hands on) I am super stoked and I appreciate it. All in all, you guys are the bomb! I love all of you! read more

Normally I really like this studio and based on the popularity, everyone else does too! Maybe it's the new year rush but their classes have been uncomfortably packed to the point of not being able to put a mat down. I showed up to class 10+ minutes early to get a decent spot, opened the door and saw there was no where to put a mat down so had to leave. There were another 10+ people walking in as I was leaving, not sure where all those people were going to fit! It's one thing to have a good hot yoga class, but it's entirely another when you're crammed in like sardines that just deters me and maybe other newbies. Great music and flow, just know you will be very tight together with other people. read more

The Atmosphere and teachers are outstanding!!!! Great community. The front desk peeps are incredibly welcoming and HELPFUL! I've been to other yoga studios- Melt truly got me addicted to yoga . read more

Best yoga studio in Orange County! The establishment is always super clean and they have a space for to take showers and lock your stuff away (not that you'll need to do that) Melt has the best instructors who care about your well being and yoga journey. Estella, Kerri, Stephanie and so many more! Thank you all for always providing an amazing experience and work out within the mind and body. Melt will always be my favorite. read more

All the instructors are authentic to their unique method, and knowledgeable as to a wide range of techniques They are relatable and connected to us as yogis I always come away feeling seen, and relieved in my mind/body/soul Anna read more

James is great at guiding the 1.5 vinyasa flow. He has excellent timing and direction. I also like his warm up and cool down.

I'm relatively new to yoga, and I love to sweat, so I decided to give Melt a try. After my first class I was instantly hooked. I bought an unlimited class membership at Thanksgiving and since then have lost 15 pounds!! The facility is always clean and well-maintained. Yes, there are certain smells as is the norm in yoga studios, but the members and staff do a good job at cleaning and using certain air freshener techniques. Their online calendar and scheduling system is very efficient and links with my calendar to place appointments on my i-Phone. Great feature. I also appreciate that all of the instructors I've taken are very motivational, well-trained, and conduct classes that appeal to novices like me to more advanced yogis. They make us feel comfortable in each and every class. I've even taken my teenage daughters who are novices to some classes and they loved it. Keep up the great work!! Glad to have Melt in our community. read more

Melt Yoga Studio - Always clean and well-maintained facility. - Yoga Near Me - Ladera Ranch, California

Never before have I experienced such a "mean girl" moment. I came to Melt to take a class after not having been to yoga in ages and was met with such a rude and unprofessional welcome by some woman who seemed so bothered by having to merely interact with me. I arrived with water and yoga mat in hand, ready to take a class, and was instead pushed a piece of paper with general pricing and told to "go home and think about it." I was so upset by the interaction that I emailed the studio asking the owner or manager to call me and no one responded. I went ahead and sent a DM on Instagram asking for the same (tried calling once and left a VM) and no one has called me back for weeks. I used to come here often before COVID and was so excited to pick my yoga practice back up but can't imagine going somewhere where clients are treated less than, like some sort of inconvenience. read more
