Some Like It Hot Yoga& Wellness

I'm blown away by the recent negative reviews. Since my last review SLIH has continuously improved. Nicole works constantly by adding different classes and training teachers who like her, have a passion for practicing and teaching others. Yes, it's hot but you know that going in...there are rules and a discipline that adds to the experience. Nicole specifically explains the practice and how to prepare yourself for your first class on her website. We don't barracade students in the room, you are encouraged to just sit and calm your breathing. So many people (including me when I started) panic and assume they can't stay in the room. However, once you calm your breathing (which is the reason for the so called panic attacks) you will realize that you can take the heat. As a teacher, I've encouraged many new students who after class actually thank me and come back the next day. Lastly, I don't think it is fair to give a bad review because YOU obviously weren't prepared and had a bad experience. Read the information on the webdite, hydrate before class and come with an open mind. The discipline is part of the practice. The practice has changed my life and I beyond thankful for Nicole and everyone in the SLIH family. Come to the hot room prepared, you won't regret itNamaste More...

AMAZING STUDIO WITH PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS AND STAFF!!!I first tried hot yoga summer 2018 on a vacation to California. I came back to Staten Island and starting searching hot yoga studios in SI. I came across some like it hot yoga & wellness. I knew friends who had taken yoga classes here and recommended I purchase the groupon (2 months). My first class was with Winnie and it was tough, my friend that came with me could not handle it. However, I knew that the sweat was normal and the hot room only seemed so hot because I was not used to it. When I left my first class I remember feeling refreshed and relaxed and I couldn't wait to go back. It is now almost 5 months in and its safe to say that I am addicted to hot yoga! The instructors are professional, dedicated and passionate about each class they teach. I do not like working out in a gym, but hot yoga is something I enjoy going too. Yoga has taught me patience, gratitude and balance. Some like it hot yoga is great environment. The variety of class's makes this yoga studio unique. I am so happy I found this gem of a place in Staten Island. More...

I truly enjoyed coming to this place, I did the two months unlimited package. When I first started I truly hated it; I felt like classes were extremely long and the heat was unbearable! But after two months I could say I loved attending each and ever class. I am a guy; I always thought of the stereotype where only female would do yoga, since I was only going to this place to company my mother I thought I would be the only guy there, but I was wrong! There are many guys who try hot yoga here, so if you're a male you don't have to worry about being alone! I attend around 30 classes within the two months period & I could say I am more flexible and I could balance myself better. Hot yoga also challenges yourself to go deep, go lower and try harder and harder. Hot yoga isn't for everyone at first but once you get use to it, you will love it. I would highly recommend Francesca classes, she is a amazing instructor who take times to know everyone & is incredibly friendly. But ever instructors here are great, if a instructor comes to you and correct your movement don't take offense to it, take it as corrected criticism; so in the future you're re able to do better and test yourself more and more. Always bring a yoga mate with you, a Long Beach towel and 2-3 bottle of ice cold water. These are a must! Get to class 15-20 mins early, so you can get a good spot and I would say after a few week sit in the front row and challenge yourself a little bit, you can do it! One thing I will never forget the instructor saying "NO WIPING" because they strongly encourage you not to wipe your sweat. They believe the sweat cools you down and relaxes you! I hope to take classes here again! More...

Been pracicing here for over a year, and I absolutely love it.. Great instructors!! Always a great workout, and it's amazing how everything seems to disappear for the 60 or 90 minutes of class. .. Even the other people in the room seem to fade into the background..
No judgements here either... Just the motivation to have the best class you possibly can on any given day...
It's certainly not easy, but nothing worthwhile is...
The discipline and concentration I've developed here have definitely carried over into my everyday life... More...

I tried Some Like it Hot from a great Groupon deal they offered. I never thought I would try this but I did. I absolutely love it! I have osteoarthritis and a pretty bad herniated disc in my neck and between the heat and the safe exercise, my body feels amazing. I love the instructor, Lisa and the instructor and owner, Nicole. They are wonderful, professional and fun. This was a great surprise and just what my body needs. I will definitely be coming back after the Groupon expires. It does something so relaxing to my body.

I've been coming here once or twice a week for the past 5 months. Being in the military I've had my fair share of hot yoga studio experiences all over the country, and this has been one of the better ones. I've really enjoyed the community and found the owner (Nicole) to be warm and inviting. Her manner of speak is a little quicker than most yogis I've experienced, but once you get used to her style it can be just as relaxing. Great way to unwind and build muscle. More...

As one of the few yoga studios, let alone hot yoga studios on Staten Island - SILH has a lot of things going for them. It is a beautiful space, has men and women locker rooms with cubbies to store your belongings, they sell water and coconut water in the check-in area. In one of the previous classes I took with the owner, Nicole, she was very helpful and gave great advice on the class. The the most recent class I took (Hot 26+2 with Lisa) was over the top hot, to the point where some of the regulars were not feeling great and someone in the class asked during practice to lower the heat. I understand that there are precautions to take before class (or being hydrated both before and after class), but this was intense.I usually practice vinyasa yoga and I'm used to instructors fixing form, the practice of Bikram is very different. However, it's nice to try new things and change it up. Bikram is definitely a change of pace for me. They have a Groupon going on right now, so if you want to try something new it is definitely worth a shot! Also get there early because parking on New Dorp lane is not the best especially with the snow. More...

I had a really great experience at this wonderful, clean, inviting hot yoga studio. I was visiting family for the Thanksgiving holiday and had the glorious opportunity to escape to attend a couple of Nicole's classes. First of all, Nicole is such a sweetheart and super inviting and kind. We hit it off right away and her open heart and welcoming personality made the experience here an even better one. I was able to attend her 60 minute HOT 26 classes and I really enjoyed how she organized the poses. I even came the morning of Thanksgiving! Knowing that I worked out prior to all the feasting made me feel so wonderful. The changing facility and showers were clean and spacious. Every time I visit my relatives in Staten Island, I will make this place a priority. Thank you Nicole for this excellent experience and for being so sweet! I will see you next time! Sheryl More...
