Hot Yoga of Mill Creek

I was looking for a yoga place close to work and decided to try them. When I did the first power yoga class at this place, I was almost about to give up on the idea of going back. That class kicked my a$$!
But I am glad I stuck it out. Instructors are awesome. Place is no frills, but the workouts are great.
I feel great! Highly recommend this place.

As someone who has never tried hot yoga, this place left a great first impression on me. The atmosphere is wonderful. The instructors are lovely. And the price isn’t bad! I was a new customer and tried the One Month Unlimited classes for $ 20 which is deal breaker. I went five times a week and I felt amazing after each class. When you walk in you feel the warm welcome (literally, from the heat) and it makes you feel like you belong, like how any of other yoga studio should. I highly recommend it here.

I have been coming here for a few weeks and have loved each class! Previously I went to another hot yoga class in mill creek town center and I have to say this tops it! First it’s a local business and the owner even takes some of the classes which j love. Everyone is nice and the instructors seems to be genuinely happy to be there. I think the pricing is fair and better than other hot yoga places in mill creek. I am so glad i left my other place to come here.
One of the instructors who teaches (young gal with blonde hair) always tells you which part of the body you are trying to work in during the move, it really helps me understand what I am doing! Don’t worry about the location, yes it’s small but sometimes that’s how small businesses start and they can grow from there. Cheaper rent keeps the price of the classes down! I am paying less than half of what I paid at my other place. I love the alkaline water and the spray on the feet they do at the end of class! Good, clean, fun and informative classes. Thanks to all the teachers at this location for the great job you do. It really helps when the teacher is so experienced but still humble. Go hot yoga of mill creek! I already brought in two friends who signed up! Woot woot!

I finally found the workout my body craves! I don’t even know how I lived my life without hot yoga! The instructors are amazing and I love what this is doing for my body and skin. I glowing these days :)
I feel better than ever. I started with a groupon, became addicted and signed up for membership.
I love the dim lights, and the temperature is just right. I also love how much water I drink because of it! And walking outside into the fresh air after a class is heavenly!

My favorite hot yoga studio in the area by far. Clean studio, great instructors, hot but not as hot as others in Mill Creek. No showers and parking can be rough depending on the time. The lavender mist on your feet at the end is a real treat and shows the studio puts a lot of thought into your experience.

I loved each class I have taken here! The instructors are awesome! That being said, I very much dislike this location. Parking is a big issue and there isn’t a lobby which means there is NO peace or quiet between classes! And you can’t take a shower afterwards!?! Yucky!

This place is great! I was brand new to yoga and was nervous about looking silly in a room full of expert yoga practicers. But this was not the case at all! I have only been practicing yoga for a few weeks here and I can already see a big difference! They offer a great introductory rate! The instructors are helpful and knowledgable! They push you to reach new limits, but remind you to listen to your body. The environment is welcoming and relaxing! I recommend wearing light clothing! I wish I wash’t moving so I could enjoy this place some more! The only bad thing is parking and location! They are kind of hidden, and during «working» hours you have to park at Walmart, and if there isn’t a close spot, it means even more of a hike!

I love this place. It’s true that it fills up quickly but if you get there a little early you shouldn’t have any issues finding a spot. They have great instructors and I love that they have 4 late classes a week. It makes it so that I can fit the gym and hot yoga in.

Best hot yoga north of Seattle. All instructors are friendly and educated. I usually go to the 9:30 am class that Rachel teaches. She is super nice and you can clearly see she has a passion for hot yoga and teaching it. She cares about all the students and make sure they go into the poses correctly. Also she tells you benefits to each pose or what to skip if you have a back issue or injury.
This yoga studio is super clean and spacious. They keep the studio the perfect temperature, hot but not too hot where you can hardly breathe. Perfect temperature where your muscles really get nice and loose. Also lots of mirrors which help alot if you are new or just like seeing if your doing the pose correct.
Another cool thing is they have a kangen water machine. (Alkaline water) And most people are acidic these day and the alkaline water restores your pH back to neutral. Having a neutral pH makes your immune system at top notch and keeps your body hydrated. Also helps with detoxing and giving up energy! There are so many other benefits to kangen water too.
Only minus is parking like everyone else stated, but it’s really not a big deal.
I recommend this studio to anyone, from beginner to avid yogis. :)

positives–
awesome staff
clean facility
friendly yogis
clean cool water fountain available
nicely hot temp retained room
negatives–
limited parking
small studio that fills up super fast
all in all, love this place.

Update to my last review. I have been practicing here for over a year now and I could never go anywhere else. I love the Hatha classes! I am in the best shape of my life and it is all thanks to the motivation of the amazing ladies that work here. They are always willing to help and push you further even when you think that you can’t go any further. You can, trust me. They carry advocare and I highly recommend the products.
Yes, it does get crowded but if people would listen to the instructors to let the previous class out 1^st then go in, it won’t be awkward with a ton of people trying to get in and out of the same space. :) I find that it is especially busy in the winter months but that is to be expected.

Wonderful studio with a nice range of teachers. I like that they all teach classes so differently. Every time I come to Seattle area for work I get in as many classes as I can.

I cannot believe that I haven’t written a review for HYMC yet… shame on me! :D
I’ve done a lot of yoga and can honestly say that HYMC is the best studio that I’ve been to simply because of the amazing individuals that teach here. Each instructor brings a passion to each class and truly cares about encouraging a healthy yoga practice. A variety of classes are taught and all experience levels are welcome; it is definitely a place to feel comfortable and explore in your own practice as you are ready. I also really enjoy that the instuctors emphasize a quiet enviornment at all times so that everyone can get those important quiet times in before class. I’ve been to many a studio where it is very hustle and bustle until the moment class starts and it makes it more challenging to become present on your mat and dive right into practice.
Make sure to bring a bottle for water and also an extra towel — you will get sweaty!

The best hot yoga studio around! Awesome instructors (all of them are great, especially Rachel Chelsea and joy) and beautiful studio! I have tried a few others and this is by far my favorite. I have been coming here for over two years now. If you are new to hot yoga you should definitely try this place. Try the hatha, power and sculpt classes!

My first attempt at yoga anything and I’m hooked!
I love the evening class schedule but as tip, try to be there early for the best spot. The 8 am yoga on the weekends is a great relaxing end to the week — definitely something to look forward to!
My only wish would be that they held kids workshops more frequently.

I had my first hot yoga experience here and despite my initial hesitancy, I’m so glad I decided to take my first class at Hot Yoga of Mill Creek.
I had experienced some strain on my knees and ankles from running at the gym on a daily bases, so I was looking for a good work out to supplement my runs while giving more opportunities to tone and sculpt. I decided on hot yoga and picked this place primarily because it was so close to home.
I had very minimal experience with yoga prior to this – over 10 years ago as part of a high school PE class, so it was intimidating at first. I wasn’t sure which class to start with so I opted for the Power Vinyasa class since it seemed to offer both cardio and strength.
My first class was surprisingly pleasant – the instructor was helpful and respectful of new students regardless of experience. It was challenging at first, but the instruction was clear and easy to follow. I continued to attend the power classes and every time felt more strength, endurance and flexibility.
My last few classes have been with Joy and I absolutely love her routine and approach. I’ve gotten the best work outs under her instruction and always look forward to her classes. The only down side to this studio is the size, as it can get a little tight, but the size also makes it rather quaint and more intimate.
My new student package just expired, but I plan to buy another package in the near future. After a month at this studio, twice a week, I’m certain that this is the most flexible I’ve ever been in my entire life!

I was Groupon-​hopping hot yoga places for quite awhile when I found this place (via Groupon, of course). I honestly had no intention of continuing after my Groupon expired, but I love it so much I stayed!
Rachel is wonderful — she is helpful, kind, non-​judgey, and just really nice!
I park in the gravel lot next to the building and never have trouble finding a spot.

Went here to help my best friend make use of her Groupon deal before it expired. So I’m not really sure what the prices are. This is my second Hot Yoga experience, FYI.
The studio is small, intimate & very home-​y feeling. The ambiance is relaxing & peaceful much like you would expect from a yoga studio. I agree fully with fellow Unilocaler, Chelsea J. trying to get into the studio while the people in the previous class are trying to leave can be a bit of an awkward stance. They have a refillable water station incase you need to fill up your bottle before class.
The instructors are awesome! They like to keep the class going & take minimal breaks so that you get all the yoga you can get in the amount of time you’re there for. They refill your water bottles for you during breaks.
Overall, love it & I’m glad I gave Hot Yoga a second chance. Something different from my go-​go cardio attitude [=
Keep it up ladies!

Disclaimer: Know that coming to Hot Yoga Mill Creek is my first experience with hot yoga so I don’t have any other hot yoga studios to compare with. This is just my standalone experience with the studio.
Overall I like Hot Yoga Mill Creek pretty well. The studio is small with not much for facilities. There is no waiting room or reception area and the entrance door opens directly to the studio. This can make getting in and out a bit awkward with people trying to get in and get a spot and people trying to leave all at the same time.
There are cubbies for your stuff. They’re open but I feel comfortable leaving my purse there since I am in the room the whole time with my stuff.
Instructors seem pretty good. I have had two different instructors and while both are nice I find one of them to be much more helpful and constructive.
There is a water cooler for water refills. The instructor will refill your bottle for you on water breaks.
The temperature for hatha is 105 degrees. I find the heat uncomfortable and am still adjusting to working out in such a high temperature.
Drop in classes are $ 17 each which is a lot but seems comparable with other studios’ drop in rates.
You’re not supposed to get up and use the restroom or leave the room while participating. I find this to be a bit constrictive. I felt sick after one class but I hear that’s normal in the extreme heat, especially when beginning.
Parking can be tough so get here early for your class.
I’m not sure hot yoga is a practice I am going to continue long term or not but for now I’m enjoying exploring it a bit. I don’t feel out of place as a beginner among the more experienced students.

Pros:
Located conveniently off of I-​5 with free, but limited, parking. I would say ‘get there early’ but be warned that they lock the door while classes are in session so you could be standing outside for a bit if you’re too early.
The new student promotion I received was the best I’ve seen yet– $ 19.95 for 1-​month unlimited classes!
The instructor was well versed, super friendly and fun.
Decent selection of gear to purchase or rent (ranging from $ 2 — $ 4).
They gave us free sampels of juice after class that contained one of the products they were promoting/​selling (Advocare Rehydrate).
Cons:
The studio was small and the ceiling a bit low for my liking. They had a curtain cordoning off the first 5 – 10′ of the floor from the entrance, I assumed it was to create a waiting area for the front desk, but as our class size grew they raised the curtain and we eneded up using the entire room.
I was disappointed that they did not have a traditional locker room to change and shower (if I had wanted to), instead they had just a regular men’s and women’s restroom similar to that which you would find in any office building.
When selecting my spot I failed to notice that the heaters were hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the room and unfortunately my friend and
I picked a location that left us right in the fiery path of both. The instructor was understanding and accomodating in helping us move to avoid some of the extra heat.
The faux hard wood floor was somewhat noisy and slippery.
