Hot Yoga Wellness Woodbridge

Costly yoga studio I visited as it was the only one nearby offering heated practice. Price reflects suburban demand and it’s disproportionately inflated to what’s delivered by overall experience.
It’s a low maintenance, minimalist, no frills space. Lends to the philosophy of yoga’s core values in that you’re forced to look inward and build on your practice. It’s not the cleanest studio — all sorts of smells emanate from both practice & change rooms. At least parking’s easy.
Various instructors teach across the week; Marie, Jennifer, Mehran run a great class — highly recommended. Linda’s a permanent fixture — and major ditz — of the studio who offers an uninspiring class and works reception. This studio would be significantly improved if old timers like Linda had less clutch and newer talent stepped up.

Quite nice and clean but dated. The young staff is friendly and proficient. For me the location is really convenient (living & working in the area) with lots of parking in the plaza. Plenty of options class-​wise to mix it up. Enioy!

This studio has lots of classes available during different times. I like how there’s various cheaper classes as well, with $ 11 «community» classes and $ 8 «economy» classes, it’s great for those of us who are budget sensitive. The facilities aren’t the best (Yoga Tree has the nicest facilities in my opinion but it comes with a hefty price tag) however it’s very good value and it’s clean, which is all that matters. The instructors are nice and always helpful when you need them.
The classes also fill up very fast, especially the cheaper ones so come early to get a good spot. I usually come 15 mins before class and meditate in the hot room before class starts.

This place is a gift from Heaven !
The instructors are great, lots of classes every day.
Very easy to follow instructors no matter what level you are at.
I can’t say enough about this wonderful place.
The staff are fantastic. It’s one big happy family in there.
It’s all good, it’s all happy.
I love, love, love it!
Namaste !

HC? Hard Core? or Hot Core?
I really enjoyed my class at Hot Yoga Wellness Woodbridge. The sequencing though simple with really fundamental poses, but with the heat. it ended up to be a good challenging workout.
Drip Drip Drip… I felt like I just sweat everything out… even the Sapporo I drank the evening before…
Not the hottest class I been to, but even lying there pre class, you do feel like you are somewhere under the warm sun in Caribbean…
The studio itself though just have really basic facilities: 3 showers and 1 bathroom. No lockers. Clean but a little dated and in need for a facelift, this location used to be Moksha until it rebrand themselves to Hot Yoga Wellness.
There are 2 doors for entering and exiting the practise room. one leads to the reception area, the other to the ladies changing room. (I secretly hoping my Unilocal Friend would have picked the right door in his stage of dehydration)
Passport to Prana was welcomed with a smile.
A good varieties of classes, great to practise here if you live or work in the area!

Soft Core, that’s what I would call what I just attended on this week night.
Not as Hard Core as Core Synergistics. Gentle is another way to describe it.
Hot Core is hot enough that my own personal water FLOW was continuous.
Slip-​sliding all over my mat as if it was an Ice Rink. Bring a towel, it helps.
90-​minutes of this will definitely let you release something alright.
Instructor starts and ends with the same Yoga Mind-​meld slash Hypnotics.
The class was definitely fully-​loaded, hand-​to-​hand combat distance.
I felt sorry for the one behind me but not as sorry as the one behind Mr. Gas E.
Circle pose looks like its painful so I settled for plain Bridge pose.
Ashtanga, Upward Dog, Flow, Jump, Downward Dog. Encore…
Last 30 minutes was where the Abdominals had more intense action.
The usual Bicycle, Vertical Leg, Side Hip Raises and so on.
Otherwise it was more of Abs-​stretching than Abs-​burning.
Although the Studio itself is of normal square-​footage, the other areas less so.
Shoe space entrance location is minimal esp when all put shoes on floor instead.
Waiting area is alright, not the most zen-​ish of the bunch but does the job.
Men’s dressing area has upper-​cabinet for storage above the coat hangers/​seats.
Fits 4 big Men changing or 6 Men not-​changing. Surprise. Men aplenty here, Ladies!
Yogis coming in. Yogis going out. Yogis staying put. Yogis hot sweaty and tired.
It felt like a Bumper-​car arena from the change-​room to the lobby to shoes and doors.
HYW Woodbridge has enough Hardcore Fans within it’s own neighbourhood.
If anymore Yogis attend then you’ll have super close-​quarters Yogasms.

This place is really good. The instructor paced the class very well and her voice was really soothing. You can go at it your own pace by taking breaks, but if you don’t, it is intense.
The room is hot, it is a sauna and I love it. It is the hot kind where you can sleep beautifully.

The name speaks for itself. Hot Yoga Wellness offers a few hot flow classes in a given day, as well as yin yoga, pilates and fusion at 60, 75 and 90 minute classes.
The class I took was heated to 38C, so it’s definitely not as hot as Bikram, but more of a warm level, like Moksha. The studio was pretty well packed in the Evening, with around 35 people well spaced.
The teacher had a very calm approach to the instruction, and I found the class light, easy and relaxing. The macho guy beside me decided he’d have a little show off in the front center, but within 20 minutes of class, he’d exerted himself so much, he had to leave the room.
The studio is equipped with clean showers and a proper large change room, but it’s definitely not as pretty as many other studios I’ve visited.
Try HYW however, for a light & challenging yogic experience.
