Let’s be honest — London can be a lot. Between the endless rush of the Central Line, the grey drizzle that overstays its welcome, and the sheer emotional toll of getting through an entire Pret queue at 8:45 a.m., it’s no wonder people are turning up the heat — literally. Hot yoga has gone from niche wellness trend to a full-on London lifestyle. And in 2025, it’s sweeter, steamier, and more popular than ever.
Sure, you could do yoga at home with a YouTube tutorial and your cat walking across the mat. But nothing quite compares to stepping into a 40-degree room where the air is thick with eucalyptus mist, your instructor’s playlist is pumping out ambient beats, and everyone around you is on the same wavelength: stretch, sweat, survive.
From infrared-heated oases in Shoreditch to candlelit flows in Notting Hill, we’ve scoured the capital to bring you the very best of the hot yoga scene. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or a newcomer just trying to touch your toes, these are the top 10 hot yoga studios in London right now — and yes, we tried them all. (Including that one where someone fainted mid-pigeon pose. Don’t worry, they were fine.)
1. 3 Tribes, Crouch End
Tucked behind a row of indie cafes and kombucha-touting juice bars, 3 Tribes is a North London institution. Think jungle vibes meet Scandi minimalism — there’s bamboo, calming green walls, and a vibe that says “You’ve got this” even when your hamstrings scream otherwise.
But what truly sets 3 Tribes apart is its Tribes system — Yoga, Ride, and HIIT — giving you the freedom to blend your practice with cardio and strength training. The hot yoga classes here aren’t just sweaty; they’re soulful. Expect dynamic flows, infrared heat that penetrates deep into your muscles (without roasting your face off), and some of the most intuitive teachers in the city.
Yogi testimonial? “I come out of a class here feeling like I’ve done a week’s worth of therapy,” says local member Anjali, who’s been coming for four years. “And the eucalyptus towels? Game changer.”
2. Fierce Grace, Primrose Hill
You know when a studio becomes so iconic that it basically invents its own genre? Fierce Grace did just that. Combining traditional hot yoga with fitness-forward sequencing, their classes are as much about sculpting your core as they are about finding inner zen.
The Primrose Hill location is an airy, plant-filled haven. Bonus: it’s dog-friendly, so don’t be surprised if someone’s spaniel is curled up by the shoe rack. Go for their signature Fierce class if you’re into powerful flows and a bit of sass from your instructor. Stay for the muscle-soothing lavender mist that follows you into savasana.
3. Hotpod Yoga, Hackney
A yoga class… inside a purple inflatable pod? Yep. And once you’re in, it’s like being inside a spaceship designed by Goop. Hotpod Yoga’s immersive experience uses infrared heat, calming aromatherapy, and moody lighting to make your vinyasa feel like a dream.
It’s 37 degrees in there — just enough to make you sweat, not enough to melt. The Hackney studio is one of their most popular locations, drawing East London creatives and sweaty post-brunch couples alike.
Bonus: Their app is a dream for booking on the go, and the post-class tea is always piping hot and herbal.
4. Yoga Haven, Clapham
A South London staple. Yoga Haven doesn’t try too hard — and that’s exactly why people love it. The Clapham studio has a slightly rustic charm (lots of wood, minimal branding) and a community vibe that’s refreshingly unpretentious.
Their Hot Flow classes are accessible for all levels, and there’s even a Chill option with lower heat and more yin elements. Ideal for winding down after a chaotic day.
One regular told us: “It’s the kind of place where you forget you’re in London. For an hour, it feels like Bali — minus the mosquitoes.”
5. Mission, Spitalfields
This one’s for the Wellness with a Capital W crowd. Mission is part yoga studio, part social club, and part ultra-sleek Instagram backdrop. And it’s really, really good.
With a New York-style loft aesthetic and eco-conscious everything, Mission runs premium hot yoga classes in their state-of-the-art studio, featuring advanced heat circulation systems and sustainable cork floors. Try the Power Hour for a heart-thumping, shirt-drenching experience — or the Detox Flow to gently coax your liver back from the brink after a big night in Soho.
Bonus: The attached café serves mushroom lattes and beetroot brownies. You’ve been warned.
6. Stretch, London Fields
Stretch is the anti-yoga yoga studio. No chanting, no spiritual quotes, no lotus flowers on the walls. Just excellent instruction, good music, and lots of sweating.
Their Hot Flow class is a no-frills, high-intensity experience that’s especially popular with runners and cyclists looking to prevent injuries. The clientele here is diverse and friendly, and the vibe is more “post-pub” than “post-retreat.”
Also, the showers are huge and stocked with delicious-smelling toiletries. Because yes, that matters.
7. MoreYoga, Soho
London’s most prolific studio chain, MoreYoga, has over 30 locations — but the Soho studio is the crown jewel when it comes to hot yoga. Recently renovated, it’s compact but cleverly laid out, and the heat is controlled just right.
MoreYoga has a cult following for its affordability and flexibility — memberships start from just £39/month if you’re savvy with the intro deals. Their Hot Core and Hot Power sessions are not for the faint of heart. You will sweat, wobble, and wonder if you’re hallucinating by the time you hit pigeon pose. But you’ll leave feeling brand new.
8. Triyoga, Camden
One of London’s OGs in the wellness world, Triyoga is where the city’s seasoned yogis go. Their Camden location hosts a curated selection of hot yoga classes, often taught by veteran instructors with 10+ years under their mat straps.
It’s calm, professional, and quietly luxurious — think herbal teas, ambient lighting, and playlists that could double as spa soundtracks. Don’t expect gimmicks. Do expect thoughtful sequencing and a room full of regulars who look like they haven’t aged in a decade.
9. Down to Earth, Tufnell Park
Hidden inside a converted church, Down to Earth is what happens when architecture and asana collide. The studio is all vaulted ceilings and candlelit corners — perfect for sinking into deep stretches and letting your mind switch off.
Their hot yoga classes are slower-paced but deeply restorative, combining heat with long holds and breathwork. A great choice for anyone recovering from injury, burnout, or a terrible Hinge date.
10. Repose, Notting Hill
This place is the wellness version of a Nancy Meyers film. Chic, serene, and scented like a very expensive candle, Repose in Notting Hill offers small class sizes, plush towels, and hot yoga classes that are equal parts functional and fabulous.
They’ve got innovative sessions like Hot Barre Yoga and Flow + Sound Bath, where the final pose ends with 15 minutes of gongs and crystal bowls. Not for everyone, but if you’re feeling frazzled, it’s bliss.
The Final Exhale
London’s hot yoga scene is proof that we’re all craving more than just physical fitness — we’re searching for release, for ritual, for a break from the constant noise. Whether you’re sweating it out in a high-tech infrared pod in Shoreditch or stretching beneath the rafters of a former church in Tufnell Park, hot yoga offers a reset button. A reminder to breathe deeply, move freely, and let the stress melt away — one drop of sweat at a time.
So roll out your mat. Grab that towel. And prepare to feel the burn in all the best ways.
