Calgary Hot Yoga

Very welcoming atmosphere. Each instructor is passionate, friendly, and always willing to answer questions and offer guidance. Good selection of classes, and additional workshops provide opportunities to deepen practice. Calgary Hot Yoga is a great studio to start or continue your yoga journey.

My experience at CHY was not pleasant. They have a very rigid studio where there is no space for what yoga really is for me. Connection to mind /body/breath. I was corrected many times for doing what my body needed to get into the postures. The instructor was incredibly condescending when I went into a down dog because my back was cramping. He said “we don’t do downward dog in this class” then I stayed in it, and he said or “do what you want.” I was appalled. This is yoga, his energy was toxic. I then asked nicely at the end, “ it seems like there’s so space to give my body what it needs.” He said “sometimes our bodies don’t need what we think they need.” Is yoga not an embodiment practice?! This should be a gym not a yoga studio. I do not recommend this studio if you want a true yoga experience.

I have tried a few yoga studios in Calgary and there's a reason I keep coming back to Calgary Hot Yoga, it's my favourite. The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly and you can tell that Craig truly cares about his clientele. The facility is always clean, the studio is kept at a great temperature, and the class times work well with my busy schedule. I always leave feeling happier and will continue recommending the studio to anyone interested in being lovingly nudged to take their practice to the next level.

I’ve been attending CHY off and on for ten years. Craig, the owner, has successfully built and maintained an amazing yoga studio. More importantly, he always strives to be friendly, welcoming, and has created a real sense of yoga community. The facility itself is always clean and comfortable, and appropriately hot/humid for hot yoga. The classes and instructors are varied; there is something for everyone. The instructors, particularly Craig, are so supportive and always helpful and encourage us yogis to grow and make continued progression in our yoga practices. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have been attending Calgary Hot Yoga for over 10 years, they have become my yoga family! The staff are always welcoming and supportive. Studios are so clean and you can tell they all take great pride in what they do. Their new heating system is amazing! They offer a variety of classes and even virtual classes and special workshops too! I highly recommend Calgary Hot Yoga!

I used to really enjoy coming here, and would definitely come back if they added more variety to their class schedule! Since they have switched to the Ghosh flow I have no longer been attending classes and there are very few options for class variety. Really just 26&2 and Ghosh flow, which are the exact same flows every class and really defeat the purpose of coming to a yoga studio as opposed to just doing it online (it’s nice to get different yoga and teaching styles when coming to classes in-studio). I was told after class by another member that “I move too much” and was told in class by instructors to hold stillness in poses before I had set myself up properly (thus I was unaligned/improperly engaging muscles and was chastised for taking extra time to get into position.) There is very little flexibility in these new classes to “feel” your body and move the way you need to, as the instructors and classes have become very rigid and taken a lot of enjoyment out of the yoga that I used to enjoy so much here.

A very neat place with great instructors. They explain not just the pose itself but also which muscles you are working out, and why you can or can't do a pose. One thing is just to do yoga but something else is to practice purposeful yoga. Listen to your body and what it tells you.

I have only been attending CHY for a short time but I am throughly impressed with the teachers & classes. Their explanations are clear, concise & adaptable &they appear to have a real passion for their yoga which is an inspiration. Thank you Craig

This studio has been one of those elements that has enriched my life for the better. It was also instrumental after I struggled to find normal after the pandemic.Each instructor has their own unique style that adds a distinct challenge and leaves you wanting to come back the next day. Would highly recommend to anyone.
