Hot Yoga Plus San Mateo

The instructor was rude and not inclusive at all. Apparently when you cant hold a position and drop your arm it is considered disrupting the whole class.

Used to be a nice studio. Now the place is messy/smelly, not enough ventilation. And the staff often has an attitude as well

Good studio. Those who leave bad reviews based on things like parking, thick accents, and strict teaching style are likely people who had certain expectations coming in plus are not experienced in bikram. Bikram's extremely difficult, forcing you to climb a real endurance mountain and face your mental self doubts constantly for an extra long period of time compared to other disciplines. Those people don't belong in such environments and are not athletes who persevere, they're nothing but complainers. Use discretion while reading reviews! I was welcomed and challenged and that's what I came for. I'd say the heat was too high/congested.

I recently moved to the state and San Mateo area and was excited to find a new studio to continue my practice. I had previously been very fortunate to practice at a very inclusive, and warm and friendly studio, where we were invited to work with the body that was there on that day. I signed up for a month at this San Mateo studio, and was put off after my first class. Students were called out for not doing things the Bikram way, there was no welcome to the studio as a new member, no introduction to the facilities, and the whole place felt cold and soulless. At one point, the teacher was so furious that a student was out of view behind a pole, she interrupted the class to have a conversation about it.. I was so disappointed, as someone who has always found yoga an inviting discipline - something that should be for all to practice whatever their mindset and ability on that day, sadly, was not the case at HYPSM. Im just glad I didnt sign up for a longer period of time.
