This studio has been my home studio for over a year and it is the best place to start and continue yoga. The classes are small enough to engage and get personal help during the classes, but big enough to feel a sense of community. I started a year and a half ago with NO yoga experience. Sarah and Michelle go above and beyond to take notice of every yogis individual strengths and weaknesses and will help you become a master at your weakness simply by paying attention to all their students and wanting them to be their best. All the students are so welcoming and love coming back, I see the same people all the time. That shows a happy customer!!
This is a fantastic studio. Every instructor has their own unique qualities but they are all extremely supportive and are clearly in love with teaching. Some are more gentle, others will challenge you to push your limits (but not in a way that puts you out of a comfort zone or in danger). Ive been going about two months and plan to continue for as long as Im in the area.
This studio is absolutely amazing!! We’ve been coming for over a year and Sarah and Michelle are top notch!! Everyone that comes to the studio becomes instant family, encouraging each other through new poses and tough classes. Couldn’t say better things about Ganesha!
Nice place! I always fill relief after class!
I searched for a year to find a good power yoga class in St Pete and could not seem to find one. I found Ganesha on class pass once I extended my radius a little bit, went to one class with Michelle and was hooked! I go at least once a week now. This is easily the best place for hot yoga/power yoga in the area! The flow is always fun and challenging and whether or not you’re a seasoned yogi, Michelle is so encouraging and really cares about everyone’s practice. So glad I found this place!
Ganesha Hot Yoga St. Pete is an incredible establishment. Whether an individual is looking to build strength, become more flexible, sweat, lose weight, relieve stress, rehab an injury, meditate, and/or try something challenging, Ganesha Hot Yoga St. Pete in the place that facilitates it all. Personally, Ganesha Hot Yoga St. Pete has provided me with a space to heal. This studio has helped me rehab injuries, prevent injuries, realign repetitive negative habitual patterns, and much more. Ganesha Hot Yoga St. Pete has helped me continuously build physical, emotional, and psychological strength and flexibility. All of this is achieved through a moving meditation and breathing. The studio has also helped me with my connection with the spiritual self, and spiritual healing. It has also helped me replenish and rebuild. I view this studio and practice as a big metaphor for life, the studio teaches the ability to remove obstacles from our psychological and spiritual lives, and it is powerful . Ganesha Hot Yoga St. Pete is more of a family to me than a facility. The knowledge, professionalism, strength, flexibility, courage, and love Sarah and all the instructors illuminate exceeds expectations. I highly recommend Ganesha Hot Yoga St. Pete to all. Namaste.
Is hot yoga magic? I believe so. My husband and I signed up for the 3 week $35 special and have so far attended the Power yoga and Yin yoga 90 minute classes. Our results have been nothing short of amazing. My husband has had a hip surgery and couldnt even touch his toes, but after 180 minutes at this studio is reaching beyond. Before I could only sit up during sleeping pigeon, now Ive got my entire chest to the ground. Its unreal the results! The instructors so far have been friendly and helpful, the rest of the students seem cool, and good music selection thus far. At the end of each class you are provided with a cold, eucalyptus soaked towel to accompany your savasana. Trust me, you will end this class in a state of euphoria. After my 3 week special is up Im definitely signing up for unlimited. Highly recommend this spot.
This place is a little sanctuary within St. Pete! The studio itself is so clean with such a welcoming vibe. The staff is knowledgable, kind and accommodates people of all athletic levels. Being a beginner myself, I cannot say enough good things about their yoga classes and the experience, in general. If you are thinking about joining for the first time, or an experienced yogi, I HIGHLY recommend this studio!PS - At the end of the class, the instructors walk around and put a cold towel on your forehead... as if ANYTHING is better after a hot class?! :)
Ganesha Hot Yoga St Pete is an incredible experience. This gem of a studio provides you with warmth, knowledge, strength, flexibility, challenge, guidance, support, love, and so much more! Thank you Sarah for living your purpose and healing us to wellness. You and your crew rock it boo! Love you guys!
My first visit and I loved it!!! Michelle was excellent..definitely will be back :)
My husband and I loved this hot yoga studio! Friendly staff. A great workout and way to stretch and sweat out the toxins.
Nice studio! Good people working and running it!
If you’re looking for a family to belong to, and feel welcomed at, this studio is the best place to come to! You will always have a great personal experience here, and you will never feel like you’re in a competition. If your goal is to loose weight, stay fit, and/or release the negative emotions our bodies tend to hold onto; Ganesha Yoga is a peaceful place where you’re always welcome to call “Home”. I highly recommend making this place your 1st choice!
Love it here. Great classes, great energy 👌 Highly recommend.
Amazing place!!! I highly recommend. 5 stars location without a doubt. Sarah its plesant and professional. Musics are good. Beautiful studio overall. ❤️
I have now been here a couple of times and had two different instructors. Both of them were great and the classes were amazing. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys hot yoga or for anyone wondering if this place is right for them.
I found my bliss! Ive just completed my 2nd year and over 250 hours at this studio. The 2 hour Soundbath/Yin/Meditation class was amazing, Ive never gone so deep, been so relaxed, or so connected to my breath. In a word; Bliss.
Bikram yoga has really helped me feel better than I have in years. I love the total body work out. Lori and Sarah are amazing teachers and they are devoted to the practice and more importantly to their students. Dont miss out. Get in a class and see for yourself!
Only great things to say about Ganesha Hot Yoga. Im extremely privileged to have Sarah, Michelle and Lana as my instructors. Although Ive been part of the Ganesha community for about 1.5 year, a few months ago i stop going to class and then ended up hurting my back working hard in my yard. :(Enough crying, Sarah and the crew are helping me in my quick recovery :)) With their kindness, professionalism and outstanding intentions to deliver their knowledge, it only took about 7 classes for me to feel the enormous recovery Bickram Yoga along with the right instructors can offer. Needless to say the extra inch or two in my belly are melting away too. :))In my humble opinion, there is lots of yoga instructors and lots of yoga studios you can choose from but if you want results and you have determination to target whatever you want to address going to yoga, Ganesha is the place.Im expressing my gratitude to everyone from instructors to students for the privilege and value of the studio and the practice it offers to my physical health.
I love this hot yoga place. Its perfect, not too hot, hot. But just good enough to get the deep stretching I need to help me heal from my injuries.
Sarah is so knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Her aurora is what helps unite this class. When you walk into the studio you feel so welcomed and right at home. The class is a workout and you definitely get your sweat in! Highly recommend for all levels of fitness.
This is a wonderful little studio! The leaders and students are friendly and welcoming, such a great atmosphere and the yoga practice is awesome. Thank you!
Ive only taken 2 Bikram Yoga classes and I plan on going every week. Im committed to using Bikram to help rehab my sports injuries and for cardio, strength, & flexibility training. It works perfectly in conjunction with the sports and other types of exercise I enjoy.The instructor is amazing! Lori Givens is very detailed oriented and breaks down each Yoga posture & movement so novice students like myself are more at ease.The class is an amazing workout! I felt a sense of mental clarity and physical well being for the rest of the day, similar to runners high.
On an nondescript strip mall - wouldnt have found it if it werent for some good marketing on their part on a fitness and wellness app and Google Maps.I really wish they had props for modifications and individuals with disabilities/ injuries - as someone who suffers from chronic pain and used to other studios offering them, I had a difficult time on my 1st visit due to the lack of them at Ganesha. Otherwise, excellent hot yoga yin class - 30 minutes of flow followed by 45 minutes of deep deep stretching. Great freezing cold towel with lavender essential oil at the end for shavasana.I absolutely adore the hot yin yoga instructor on Sundays (Emma) and class, but its unfortunate that this studio floor feels so dirty, sp given the nature of a warm, humid environment where bacteria can grow so easily. The floor should be seriously scrubbed after every class. Today was my 2nd class there and I felt like it was even dirtier than the 1st time...So sad I have to give 3 stars because of this...itd be 5 stars otherwise!
The studio is amazing, the instructors are awesome! They are encouraging and want whats best for your body. Theyre not overly pushy, but have a good sense of what your body can handle.Bikram yoga is helping me recover from whip lash 5 years ago thats only gotten worse over time. Its helped make my bones, muscles, joints and ligaments more fluid and flexible. I have more energy throughout the day and sleep better at night. I dont have to constantly readjust my neck to ease the pain.Im also stronger now than Ive probably ever been. I feel more at peace in my heart and my mind, two things that usually act against each other, that are now more in harmony than before.If you need to focus on taking care of your mind, body, and spirit, Ganesha Hot Yoga is the place to kill all three birds with one stone! I adore this Ganesha Hot Yoga St. Pete and I bet you will too :)
I started taking yoga classes from Lori Givens almost 10 years ago in Memphis, Tennessee; Lori is dedicated, hard working and runs an excellent studio for your practice e.g., always clean, runs her classes on schedule and maintains a great support atmosphere. She changed my life for the better and can do the same for you-a heated room is only in your head-allow it to become your friend!!! Jim C.
Grate experience!
Love Ganesha! Bikram and Buti instructors are the best. Highly recommend checking this place out for your hot yoga needs!
It has been toward almost 8 months since I was introduced to Bikram Yoga. Wow... I cannot believe How greatly I have been changed physically and mentally! I took 53 years to find the whole perfect package that can impact my true life to be better every moment. Now I can be a true Me, really,really.Thank you very much for your flawless, seamless leading each class! My best instructors Sarah and Cindy, Two Thumbs UP!
The class is soooo good and you will notice invaluable benefits! Especially if you’re a runner, have a stressful job or physically demanding life... do not wait!
This is the second Hot Yoga Studio I have attended and I can honestly say this one is my absolute favorite! The instructors play music during the sessions at the perfect volume, not too loud, not too quiet. Temperature is right where you want it to get that ultimate stretch. They also sell regular and coconut water before and after class which is great. I really appreciate that the studio doors are locked during session to ensure there are no interruptions during class. As for the actual yoga, Bikram has transformed my life for the better. I feel and look better mentally, physically, and emotionally than I ever have. My favorite class is the Bikram Express Plus, which is one set of Bikram and the other part of class is Yin yoga. The instructors there are all kind and wonderful, each one has their own unique delivery of the Bikram script. I love Ganesha!
Ganesha is awesome! Sarah is a wonderful person and a great instructor. Michelle is an awesome flow teacher incase youre looking to expand your practice. This is the first Bikram studio ive been too and i love it
There is not enough good things that I can say about Bikram Yoga St Pete. They have a very clean studio, and three of the best instructors in the business. Lori, is an outstanding instructor who helps energize the class. She has helped me work on my postures and rehab my injured knee and back.
This studio and teacher, Sarah, has changed my life over the past year. Ive tried many forms of exercise, hated going to the gym, but this Bikram Yoga is different. It has taught me to focus on more than just losing weight and getting in shape (dont get me wrong, Ive happily lost about 25 pounds since I started!); however, Ive learned its about changing the mind, body and soul for the better. I was suffering major depression and anxiety when I first walked into the studio, but now I am happier than Ive ever been due in major part to Yoga. The studio is extremely welcoming of all ages, sizes, experience, etc! And Sarah cares so much about her students, like a mother hen, so she will help you and challenge you as much or as little as you need. There is a special place in my heart for Ganesha Hot Yoga St. Pete, and I am hooked for life!
I practice here as much as possible. This studio is a nice and friendly place to practice. The teachers are amazing!
Ganesha Hot Yoga is amazing and I would give it TEN MILLION STARS IF I COULD ❤ Absoluety the best Hot Yoga spot in all of St. Pete. Authentic, caring and inspiration driven is what this place is. I am grateful for this studio, and I am grateful for Sarah. Whether youre a seasoned Hot Yogi or wanting to join in on the fun, this is where the love is! Bikram, Bikram Express, Power Flow, Yin Yoga, Power Blend ~ so many nice classes to choose from :3
