Back up to Amanda Price's review, but without allowing the owner to put full names on their response and offer some free classes to make up for it. Owner closed down their studio in Kelowna overnight, taking all members money without so much as a word. A lot of businesses have struggled during COVID, but to ask members to support and then disappear without a care to the community is the opposite of yoga and what it represents. If yoga and mind and body mean something to you - look for authentic genuine studios that prove they are about connecting, not money. Literally look anywhere else.

12/10 This is the cleanest, finest and most exceptional experience I have ever had at a yoga studio hands down. The Vancouver location is absolutely gorgeous and their online digital platform is 12/10. Can't wait to do their 200hr YTT too!

A studio full of love, kindness & creativity
The hot box yoga has triggered all my curiosity and passion for yoga since the first time I practiced here a year ago.
Yoga here is never boring. Having more than 200 hours exercise here, I almost attended every single teachers class. Have to say no matter how long they have been teaching, they all have a kind heart for teaching yoga here. My little tips for choosing classes,
For powering up, you have Yadus detox, Livs yoga strong, Saras hip hop yoga, and Sarahs Lunchbox. If you want to explore in depth, Patricias Dharma yoga

The hot box yoga is a home to so many beautiful souls. I started my journey there about 2.5 years ago. The very first class I took was with Zen with Morgan Snow. It was just that moment that I knew the studio is a right place for me. I immediately started working there as a karma staff and I cannot insist how rewarding the experience was. It… brought me a community of people who were full of love and joy and of course could not end their day without doing yoga. After one year of constant practice, I got the call that I want to do my teacher training. Sarah and Chris, the owners of the studio
