The Hot Spot began as a pipe dream in 2011--opening in August in the basement of Signature Fitness with a single renovated room and 3 classes a week. Over the next 6 years we grew (slowly but surely), spreading the joy and love of real, authentic Bikram Yoga throughout Kingston and the greater mid-Hudson valley.
In 2017 we moved operations into a beautiful new location in the Kingston Plaza--complete with state-of-the-art heating and fresh air systems, Zebra flooring, full bathrooms with showers, and a yoga boutique. Our community is welcoming and supportive, our teachers are knowledgeable and compassionate, and our students are simply the best darn people you will ever meet.

We are so happy to be open for in-person classes! After a long haul, we are inching our way back to some semblance of "normal"! Before coming back to class, please carefully read our "Returning to Normal" Protocol HERE. You can purchase classes and packages either in-person or online - scroll down for the link.
I found Stephanie and the Hot Spot Yoga studio in Kingston in 2014, and the practice has changed my life. The posture series and breath work help me to remain meditative throughout the 90 minute class, a perfect mix of stretching, sweating and personal challenge. What is equally great is how I have been able to apply the breath of the work to everything that I do in the world.
Expect to sweat! 105° is hot, so you should dress and prepare appropriately. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before class begins so that you will have time to get checked in and get oriented. There is no need to reserve a spot in class beforehand-you can just show up! Remember that yoga is a practice - be patient with yourself!

This is a clean, professional studio and easy to get to. It is the only Bikram Yoga studio in the Hudson Valley. (that I can find) Shower available. Has a steady group of dedicated devotees working hard and encouraging each other. Great way to get in shape and stay healthy. I highly recommend Bikram Yoga and this studio....

I have been going to the Hot Spot in Kingston for around a year now and it has really transformed by body for the better. I have better flexibility and some long-standing injuries have really abated. I practiced hatha yoga for many years and resisted Bikram until the really cold winter of 2015 when I gave it a try. WOW! Each asana has multiple benefits, and the heat helps move the blood and relax muscles so its safer than traditional yoga. Stephanie is an amazing teacher, she brings energy, knowledge, experience, and a sense of humor to the practice. So glad this is in Kingston!
