I purchased an unlimited two week pass and have had a wonderful experience. I haven’t done yoga in 6 years, plenty of weight gain and inactivity in that time left me feeling not so good about myself. I felt only kindness and encouragement here, very welcomed and supported. I’m happy to have found it and would recommend to any one !

After 13 months of pandemic break, I came back and to no surprise Carol and Rachel continue to excel. Cleanliness, professionalism, fun, and great Bikram Yoga continue to be in abundance at Hella!! If you have not come back, I urge you to come back. You will be quite surprised on how much you and your body missed it. If you have not tried this style of yoga, I highly recommend you give it a try. Great instructional and welcoming staff, in a fun and clean environment.

Carol and her team are great at teaching such an amazing style of yoga, the Pilates class is also next level, and if you’re looking for something slower the Yin class will bring you to a level of peace you didn’t know was possible. I’ve only been going for one week and the amount of positive changes happening for me are worth the price! Can’t wait to continue with this practice, at hellah hot Aurora.

Ive been going to Hella Hot for almost seven months now, and Im addicted! I look forward to it every week, and am finding ways to fit more than one session in a week. I cant get enough. Its filled a place in my life I didnt even know was missing. I enjoy working out and have done various things...running, pilates, kickboxing, kettle bells, etc., and there is absolutely nothing like hot yoga. The instructors here are amazing - they inspire you to be better and bring your mind-body connection to a whole different level. Love love love this place!

I can’t say enough great things about this studio! The 6am 60 minute yoga classes fit perfectly into my schedule and give me a great start to my day! I love the evening 90 minute hot yoga classes and am excited to try hot Pilates! The studio is super clean and doesn’t have a smell like a lot of studios get after a hot sweaty session which means they have a good ventilation system! The instructors are all super helpful and nice and everyone is friendly. I love the challenge and how I feel after hot yoga. I have 4 herniated discs in my back and am a mom of four, the heat really helps me dig deeper into my poses. I have chronic pain from back issues and I’ve noticed a significant reduction in that pain throughout my day since picking yoga up again and I couldn’t be happier!

HellaHot is a great yoga studio. Very accommodating for those new to bikram style yoga as well those who have practiced for a while. The intro pass they offer is amazing and it allowed me the freedom to try a bunch of classes & instructors -all of which turned out to be fantastic!! If you need a challenging workout that is low impact, I would definitely recommend HellaHot!

Where to begin?!? Hella Hot Aurora, the instructors, the community and the classes are ALL life changing. It’s my safe place, my sanctuary, my exercise and mediation all in one. I am forever grateful for Carol and her team that bring healing to not only me but every individual that walks through the door. Don’t hesitate, try a class for yourself. And let me know if I can help! #livelovelocal #supportsmallbusiness #yogilife #gamechanger #dailypractice

I love it here. I’m only in the area for a month and have been coming 5 times a week. Every teacher is awesome in their own way with the inspiring words they share during each class to keep you motivated each time you come in. You leave with a weight lifted and a lightness around you for the rest of the day after a visit here. I recommend it to all of my friends! Hope this helps someone decide to try out the practice or continue with it! 🙏🏽

Updated Review:I cannot express my appreciation enough to the staff at Hella Hot Yoga. Today I did a pose without pain in my lower back and it gives me hope I can avoid surgery all together. I encourage anyone to try this yoga studio so they can realize what at spectacular environment Hella Hot Yoga has created for their students while experiencing the benefits of being led by an elite group of Yoga Instructors. Namaste!Updated Review:I’ve been to quite a few Yoga studios during my time as a Yoga practitioner. I always like heated studios since it helps relax the muscles so I decided to give Hella Hot Yoga a try. I was greeted by Carol and was welcomed despite my physical limitations. Why is Hella Hot Yoga different from the hundred various Yoga studios? Well, because its not all about the postures. Its about ninety minutes of reflection of where a Yogi would like to go while on their journey as a student. Yoga is a reflection on surrounding yourself with the right people, so true human potential can be reached. All instructors are really teachers since they add little lines of wisdom so students can reflect on their words while trying to master each posture. I always feel welcomed when I walk in the door and enjoy the great sense of community in the studio. I encourage anyone to give this studio a try so everyone can find out while these instructors are really teachers of Yoga. Namaste!

From Carol to Tori, Rachel, Jocelyn to Teresa and more, the classes are always pushing you to test your limit - from beginner to the more experienced. The facility is clean, the classes have a great feel for the community and most teachers recognize you by name. If not anything for 60 minutes of rediscovering a new world of possibilities in you, go with your heart and choose the studio, your brain will definitely appreciate it soon, once your body realizes the art of the possible.

Bikram Aurora is a beautiful studio. Well appointed with everything we need. The dressing room is spacious and comfortable. Everyone on staff is so helpful and kind as you would expect teachers of the practice to be. It’s always the best part of my day when I decide to show up to the hot room.

Fantastic instructors and a non-judgmental environment. Several class options to choose from that are dynamic, relevant and cutting-edge! In my opinion, due to the wide variety of classes offered at this location, this yoga studio truly sets itself apart from all other studios.

This is a wonderful studio! It is fairly new so the bathrooms are fantastic, the place is modern and the actual studio is large and of course - HOT! Carol the owner has done a great job of creating a welcoming atmosphere. Although I do not live in the area I have family nearby and practiced here for three weeks. I had various teachers, each with their own style but I can honestly say I liked them all.If you are new to Bikram please look at their website for how to prepare for your first class. It will help you understand how things works and what to expect. The poses and the heat seem odd at first but if you stick with it Bikram quickly becomes addictive! I never thought I would be able to fully complete Standing Head to Knee but I am proof that if you just keep doing your best it will eventually happen!I started Bikram as a novice yoga practitioner. As a runner I wanted to help stay flexible. While I achieved that I am overwhelmed by the mental benefits of yoga. I highly recommend Bikram Yoga and Bikram Yoga Aurora!

Hella Hot Aurora is such a great place to stretch, focus, and get a sweat! The 26 pose series is instructed by talented individuals that really care for the wellbeing of those who attend. On top of that, the facilities are clean, smell good, and have good showers.

My 1st time taking Yoga, I didnt know what to expect. I was nervous about the hot room. However, Bikram has made it an awesome experience. Although, I have motion limitations/flexibility issues, the instructors are patience, give me tips on alternatives movements, they encourage & motivate, friendly, great customer service....j

I have been going to Bikram Yoga Aurora since July 2018. The results I have seen during my time here have been substantial, mind & body. Ive lost 20 lbs, so visibly my body has gone through a tremendous transformation (especially only being 52). The teachers have been an amazing part of my journey. Ive never felt embarrassed or afraid to do something I was not sure of. One teacher specifically, Becky, is truly motivating. I always feel challenged in her class. In her words, as she instructs, it feels as if she speaks to each student individually. I always look forward to her classes. Thank you Becky! And thank you Bikram Yoga for giving me the passion of taking care of myself the best way possible.

Super nice teacher! i had a great time and i have never done bikram before but with the instructors help, it was a great experience. the locker rooms were very cool because they had samples of products for us to take home and try. would defiantly recommend 10/10. also, there was a great taco place right next door that made a great after class snack.

Review №37

First of all, the people are very friendly and non-judgmental. Its a very welcoming place. Their products are a top-notch workout. Bikram Yoga has improved my physical and mental health - no more wrist pain from my computer job, and increased flexibility and endurance. And dont get me started on Inferno Hot Pilates! Full body, low impact, high intensity workout packed into 60 minutes. What more could you want? Im stronger and much more toned than Ive been in years. AND, no equipment is needed. No special shoes or clothes required. Just a yoga mat and towel. It doesnt get any easier than that!

Rachel, Jocelyn , Carol and Teresa these guys are awesome. Classes w.r.t Inferno Pilates by these teachers are amazing.They know their stuff and they would encourage students to stretch their comfort zone. The studio is amazing and if i have to ever recommend someone to build their core strength i would recommend this studio. Keep up the good work team.

I purchased the $39 introductory deal and was so well received from day one that I’ve lost count as to how many times I’ve used the 30 day pass. My fitness level was minimal and I was looking to find a workout community where I didn’t feel intimidated. In less than 30 days my endurance increased significantly, my energy improved and so did my enthusiasm for working out. The pain in my neck and on my shoulders, back and hips is virtually gone. There are many additional benefits I’ve experienced but like everything you have to experience the benefits for yourself.

This studio is amazing. The instructors are top notch. They are very well versed in Bikram and Pilates and they do a great job of encouraging students and explaining health benefits. I always appreciate that cleanliness is a high priority. We are lucky to have such a great studio in the western burbs.

First time was a great experience! It was challenging but everyone goes at their own pace and focuses on them and the pose of the moment. The instructor was very kind and offered tips to help me after the class, he is very attentive of his students and works to ensure they have a successful session. Facilities were very inviting and tranquil. I cant wait to go back!

In my over 15 years of actively practicing Bikram style yoga, I’ve had the opportunity to practice in many different studios in a number of states. Hella Hot is consistently clean and friendly. While remaining true to the original Bikram (26+2) 90-minute practice, they also offer a 60-minute version along with hot Pilates. If you’re a hot yogi, this studio won’t disappoint.

Great teachers and a very clean place (no funky smell). The teachers are happy to talk to you before or after class if you have questions about a posture. Nice locker room with showers. Ive been practicing here for 3 years now.

I’ve been coming here a little over a year,and even with a move a little farther away I still make it out for a good sweat sesh! I’m a huge believer of the Inferno Pilates classes. Late 2018, I was coming off a femoral stress fracture, but wanted to eventually get back to long distance running. I was looking for a high intensity, low impact workout, and I found the perfect place here. The studio is clean, teachers are amazing, and other students are very welcoming! My doc prescribed core strengthening and I got it here! Got me across the finish line a year later for a full marathon. I swear I couldn’t have done it without this studio!

Tori was great and very welcoming. She made my first day there pleasant and easy. The class was great, everything was clean... the bathrooms and hot room - nothing smelled funky in any way. In fact, it smelled nice! Someone actually asked about bikram yoga on Facebook today and I recommended Bikram Aurora! Ill be back hopefully soon. (As soon as this soreness wears off!) oh and the introductory deal is super. Definitely worth it.

Review №56

I came here when it first opened but with 2 young kids, I made the difficult decision to stop. 4.5 years later with my kids slightly older and my health starting to decline, I decided to treat myself and join again. To my appreciation, I discovered that they have added several other classes to the mix such as Inferno Hot Pilates and 60 minute Bikram Yoga (for those days when you can’t seem to squeeze in a 90 minute session). There are so many class options now that there’s no way you can get into a rut. And the schedule is easy to find on the Mindbody app which ties in with your phone calendar. They have really made things simple and hassle-free.I thought doing workout videos in my living room was enough, but there’s nothing quite like being in the hot room that just gets your body limbered up for all the benefits that Bikram has to offer. The instructors are all really friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. You will not regret signing up inn this studio as a newbie or coming back after a break. Your body, mind and over health will be better for it.
