⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Gem in Staten Island: Some Like It Hot Yoga This review is long overdue because my experience here was nothing short of amazing. As active-duty military who has lived overseas for almost 15 years, I only come home to NY during the holidays. I reside in South-East Asia. In the past two years, I’ve developed a deep love for yoga. Having been a trained dancer since the age of 2 and holding group fitness and Zumba certifications, yoga is still a relatively new journey for me. Becoming a yoga instructor in Southeast Asia over the last two years has been one of the highlights of my life. But as an introverted and shy student, I know I have so much more to learn in the yoga world. Recently, I returned to Staten Island for personal reasons, staying for about a month. I didn’t want to stop my yoga practice, so I searched for a local hot yoga studio for the first time. In my home region in Southeast Asia, I practice Radi8, but I’ve heard of styles like Hot26 and Bikram and had never taken those classes before. I’d only ever attended one yoga studio before—the one where I started as a student and eventually earned my yoga certification. One lesson my guru taught me is to never enter a studio announcing yourself as a teacher because you are always a student first. Following that wisdom, I walked into Some Like It Hot Yoga feeling shy and anxious. I’d signed up online, and as soon as I arrived, the instructor immediately recognized me as a new face. This was such a relief because it showed me they knew their regulars and noticed when someone new needed help. She kindly guided me through check-in and explained what to do, making me feel at ease. I settled onto my mat in the most packed yoga class I’d ever attended. The class was challenging and, of course, hot—which I was used to—but the community was so welcoming. Signing up for my next class was simple with their app, and I quickly began connecting with other students. Eventually, the studio owner, Nicole, even invited me to her 10-year anniversary dinner. I was shocked but honored! Attending that dinner was such a special experience. I sat with a room full of strangers who poured out stories of how much the studio meant to them. Nicole gave out prizes, and the entire evening was filled with joy. I had a chance to chat with instructors and students, which helped ease my shyness even more. If I didn’t live halfway across the world, this would be my new yoga home. As a Black woman, the yoga world can sometimes feel intimidating, but here, I felt nothing but acceptance. The community Nicole has built is the true meaning of yoga. The studio offers challenge, education, and warmth to anyone—no matter your skill level. I learned new modifications, gained confidence, and felt completely embraced. During my time there, I even attended Glow Night—something I never expected to enjoy so much! Imagine doing traditional Pilates in a heated room with glow-in-the-dark lights—it was so much fun! If I ever return home to Staten Island, I’d love to be a permanent fixture at this studio. I highly recommend Some Like It Hot Yoga to anyone looking for a yoga community that embodies acceptance, learning, and challenge. This studio is truly a gem—right there in Staten Island of all places!

The Best team of caring people! And the only thing that makes me feel so much better! And I have learned so much from Nicole & team!

I purchased a groupon to try hot yoga thinking I would probably never survive. To my surprise it has been truly amazing and I am enjoying each and every class. The staff is amazing and I cannot wait to go back.

Some like it Hot it the best way to start the day! All the instructors are fantastic, friendly, and kind! I love them all! The Heat is amazing! The studio became my favorite place to be! Thank you Nicole for opening my eyes to your studio!! Forever grateful!
