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’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.

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.

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.
