Sumits Hot Yoga Columbia

Incredible atmosphere. So welcoming and kind. I’m not good at Yoga, but no one has made me feel uncomfortable. I enjoy the 12/noon class. Perfect “Lunch Break” thing to do with your time!!

Best Yoga Sculpt class in Columbia! I've been going to Becca's sculpt classes for 2 years now and she is just the most thoughtful and creative instructor I've ever seen. If you're looking for a full body workout that is challenging, fun, and collective look no further, it's here!

First off, Sumits Hot Yoga has a wide variety of amazing yoga classes available to satisfy everyone. Second of all, they have amazing staff and customer service. I cannot express enough how amazing/friendly they were and accommodating they were in helping me with a class punch card that was purchased for me as a gift. Would 10/10 recommend for your own experience or as a gift for others!

I just did one class while visiting Columbia as a yoga beginner, but I had a good time and a great workout. Everybody was welcoming.

I’ve been going to Sumits for just over a year now. I’ll probably keep going but I don’t plan to refer anyone.I have had some issues relating to endometriosis and the heat is wildly helpful for the pain. It’s a fairly good workout too. However, the atmosphere is really intense, and often judgmental of new visitors. I made the mistake of bringing a friend of mine once, and she felt so judged that she never came back.My bigger issues, however, comes from the moral implications of a lot of the studio’s stances. I wish they had taken COVID more seriously than they appeared to at the height of the pandemic.Additionally, this studio seems to have really separated yoga from its more spiritual roots and cultural significance. (A white woman calling out cultural appropriation verges on cliché at this point, but blasting classic rock during a flow can feel disrespectful). I’ve seen other studios in town offer fitness based yoga classes that take class time to enhance understanding of the cultural context around yoga, its history and what it means when we’re getting into poses. I wish Sumits did the same.

Terrific yoga studio! Welcoming place , there is a lot of diversity of experience in the classes and all seem appreciated. Reasonable cost, very clean studio, nice locker rooms, great mat cleaning program so you don’t have to carry and wash your mat and towel. Friendly staff/teachers. Many classes scheduled, including early am and later at night.

Yin Yoga at Sumits Hot Yoga is the best therapy to lighten the load of COVID stress! All the Yin instructors are awesome! A shout out to Aimee S. who is so talented and has themed Yin classes. My head, heart and soul are balanced by the end of class. She has great energy! I just wish there were more Yin classes!

BEST hot yoga in Columbia. Staff & instructors are always so friendly and helpful. Studio is very nice. The flow is incredible, and Jake is my fave instructor! Hot yoga takes a few classes to get used to, but once you have the flow all is good. Sometimes the music is a tad loud if the instructor is quiet, but overall the classes are great and everyone is respectful. They also sell Lulu Lemon clothing!

Terrible experience. I would discourage any beginners from making this their first yoga session. The music was entirely too loud. The instructor was difficult to understand. The lighting was crazy. The flow was just OK with questionable posing. The worst part was as I was trying to introduce a friend to their first time in a hot yoga session we were confronted by a crazy regular who fantasized she was an instructor. The crazy lady approached us getting in our faces and scolded us for quietly whispering what to do in the class 10 minutes before it's start in the silent room. This lunatic was very aggressive and rude with no understanding of yoga values. I have been doing Bikram hot yoga for years and loved every minute of it until this experience. The episode left my guest completely dejected and we decided to not return to a hostile environment. Finally, if one is a beginner and aims to enjoy a non-threatening first time experience save your money and steer clear of Sumits Hot Yoga. Please consider yourself warned first timers.

Amazing! All of the teachers are fantastic, and the studio is such a great space to do yoga. The sequence stays the same every time, so the more often you come, the easier it gets, and your body will begin to adjust to the heat, too, which is another good reason to come regularly.I always feel fantastic after class--totally de-stressed and energized. The studio is very friendly to newbies as well, and between the students, the teachers, and the music, there's such a great energy in the room.
