Sweet Heat Hot Yoga

I’ve taken about 6 classes at this studio. The studio is very clean, aesthetically pleasing, and I love that they offer good quality mats and towels. The heat distribution is also superb. I absolutely love the instructors and yoga room. My first class was pretty intense being I had never taken a hot yoga class before, but luckily a friend of mine was there as mental support, and the class was well lead. I immediately signed up for more classes. I learned to challenge myself and even got some good feedback from the instructors. Unfortunately, I moved out of the Monterey area about a year ago, but today I am back and signed up for another class. If you are looking for a hot yoga studio with knowledgeable instructors and an impactful body experience, totally try Sweet Heat Hot Yoga!

Sweet Heat seems to be a great studio! Visiting from out of town in Monterey California; I did a drop-in, which is a one time class visit that supplies mat, towel, canned/bottled beverage from the refrigerator and filtered drinking water. Clean studio, aesthetically pleasing, spacious yet cozy, with friendly staff, and yogis. Very steady, well distributed heat level with good humidity. I have done hot yoga on and off for 20 years and I highly recommend this studio. FYI, there are new owners taking over but they are being mentored by the prior owner, so I would expect Sweet Heat to continue being as wonderful as it was for me. Check out their website & video overview prior to attending. Very helpful ☺️

I love this studio! I can always count on coming here to reset and re-center. The space is clean, the practice is consistent, and I'm always greeted with a friendly smile. Thank you!

My first experience of yoga + heat was during a visit with my sister in So Cal recently ... WOW! Right afterwords I got online and was very pleased to find Sweet Hot Yoga, a wonderful local hot yoga studio just 10 minutes from my own home in Monterey. My first class there was amazing, challenging and yet just right for a beginner like me. For me, the heat combined with yoga really allowed me to focus on my breath work and gave me a deeper stretch in tight areas. Definitely going to add this into my regular wellness practice from now on. Owner Leslie is a wonderful instructor and guide. I look forward to my hot yoga practice as one of my favorite forms of self-care.

Amazing place! Great studio, fantastic instructors that are passionate about what they do. Each instructor is so wonderfully different with their own style, so it's like a different class each time. Highly recommend.

I dropped in a few times over the course of a work trip and the studio was very welcoming and inclusive. The class included a varied level of students, including myself having only done Bikram a few times before, and the instructors were wonderful at keeping the pace for more experienced folks, yet explaining all the nuances to better position yourself in each move. Gave me more confidence. Studio was the perfect level of heat as well to get a good sweat on. Will definitely go again whenever I'm in the area!

This is a really well run studio. The people are in great shape and many seam to be really advanced in their yoga practice. You can tell they take yoga seriously while being friendly and inclusive at the same time. I travel from San Diego all the way up through Seattle once a year on a 3 month work project. I go to many studios. So just on a comparison basis this one is really enjoyable.

Very much enjoyed my experience practicing here with the exception of Teachers getting irritated in the case of having to leave the room during the class. Bikram is a tyrants paradise, way too orthodox for me. I got what I came for each and every time though, which was a warm welcome and a physical and mental challenge. I personally do not enjoy the unique breathing exercises specific to this discipline either, a recipe for passing out and feeling awkward when unaccustomed. The owner's cool. Bikram studios should be more mindful of asthmatic yogis, yes it's participate at your own risk but don't give me the eye if I have to step out.
