Yoga Factory Pittsburgh is an amazing place where very talented teachers come together to share their passion. The schedule is varied enough to accommodate the busiest client, but even better is that you can never outgrow Yoga Factory Pittsburgh in your yoga practice. This place is so special! Wish I could give it 100 stars.

Great staff and studio for all types of yoga! Really enjoy the hot yoga and all the benefits. Very clean and large studio. Tons of classes 7 days a week.

This is the best yoga studio in the city! The teachers are awesome and supportive, the hot room and locker room are so clean! Everyone is super nice!! And there are offerings to expand one’s practice, like weekend excursions and seminars. Love this place!!

Yogis beware, this is a very rule focused yoga studio. You are not allowed to use props to find poses and instructors don't offer modifications. It's a great studio if you are very athletic/don't need poses explained or if you already know Bikram. I'd recommend staying away if you're looking for a more positive atmosphere though. If you're late or drink water at the wrong time you will get publicly called out by instructors.

I can't recommend Yoga Factory Pittsburgh highly enough. The owner and each and every teacher are incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I had never taken a yoga class in my life before practicing at YFPGH, and now I have a daily practice. All the hype is true!

I am disgusted by the way in which the instructors will verbally abuse and publicly humiliate its clients. I distinctly remember attending a class taught by founder and director, Zeb Homison, where he yelled at a woman for quietly collecting her belongings and leaving the class early, accusing her of interrupting the class with her "rude" departure. Actually, interrupting the class to publicly humiliate her was in fact distracting, cruel, and extremely unkind. And even worse and more unbelievable, nearly everyone in the class laughed. I was in shock. I later spoke to her in the changing room and she informed me that she was actually pregnant and was feeling ill.Another time, I attended class with my apple watch. As somebody with an extreme case of the neurological disorder, epilepsy, it is crucial to monitor my seizures at all times. An epileptic must be cautious in hot temperatures as heat and dehydration may trigger a seizure. I genuinely enjoy hot yoga and for the most part it is safe for me to practice. However, I am aware of the risks involved with immersing myself in such extreme heated environments. The apple watch allows me to monitor my heart rate, as well as monitor my seizures with this app called "inspyre" which will notify you when it senses convulsive movements and will send an alert to a contact of choice in case a seizure occurs. Before class, I will of course be sure to turn off sounds notifications out of respect. There was a moment during the practice where I literally glanced at my watch after getting a vibrating notification from the app. And of course, an instructor yelled at me for "distracting" the class with my device. I was not talking, I was not loud, I was not bothering anybody. Rather, I was making sure that I was not about to fall on the floor and unconsciously slip into a grand mal seizure subsequently foaming at the mouth and peeing my pants. I'm sure they would not have appreciated that either. What happens if someone has a heart condition and needs to monitor their heart rate? What about a diabetic who must carry a glucose monitor on them at all times? Are those devices also banned?? Will they also be publicly humiliated? Actually, your health conditions are nobody's business, you should not have to defend your innocence in something as trivial as a yoga class. Oh, you also are not allowed to bring your water bottle into the studio. Save your money and go somewhere decent that will engage with kindness and respect to inspire HARMONY, the veracious process of yoga.

I've never done any type of yoga before today. I went in for one of their hot yoga sessions this morning and I loved it! They are super welcoming to new people which I really love. I felt welcome and very good after the class! I will definitely be back and look forward to improving! ❤️

I've been going here for yoga classes for over 10 years & I always feel amazing after completing a class. I mainly do the hot yoga, but they offer a wide variety of yoga classes & have guest instructors from outside the area come for special classes pretty often. All of the instructors are extremely friendly & highly knowledgeable. If you're unsure after your first class, I definitely recommend going back a few more times. It took me a couple of classes to fall in love with it.

Yoga Factory has an exception group of instructors. The studio is big and open with 2 yoga rooms and high ceilings. The schedule and variety of classes is extensive. It's definitely heated. The Bikram method allows students of all skill levels to grow and explore their practice. Also there's stickers!
