★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I came here with zero knowledge of Hot Yoga, but I saw my coworker becoming more and more fit over the past year due to this so I decided to check it out. I'm so glad that I did. This 90 minutes of yoga is a life changer. I'm stronger, more flexible and increasing my stamina by the week. For a 54 year old man who hasn't worked out in quite some time, this was definitely a game changer for me. Aside from the heat, the detox, the stretching and sweating out toxins for 90 minutes... one major thing changed. I now watch what I eat and watch my water intake on non-yoga days because I want my body to be in the best condition that it can be for this class. Julie is an excellent teacher that guides you in your postures and coaches you to push on. Julie also has this amazing ability to know what you can do in the moment, if you have the strength to do it (there are 26 poses) and what you are capable of if you continue. Honestly, I never knew that I needed yoga in my life until I attended this class in Sanford. It's a mixture of men and women of various ages and there is zero judgement in this class. If you've never tried hot yoga before, I encourage you to hydrate first, then come and enjoy a class. Julie has yoga mats and towels that you can rent during the class if you don't own one, so no excuses!
September 04 · Mark Marino7/8/25: I just got back from my summer vacation in Texas and got back into Bikram Yoga practice with the Richardson studio. Now I am looking forward to continue my Bikram Yoga practice in Florida. I will be returning to the Sanford studio. I gave this studio four stars because the multiple classes in Richardson allows me to able to attend a class everyday. Being a stay at home mom with no help only allows me to take classes when my husband is at home on weekends. I wish the Sanford studio has a 5:30AM class on weekdays. I am home with my kids all day while my husband works late hours so I can only take the class on weekends when he is off. Then I got an email today and found out there will be online virtual classes offered. I will give it a try to keep my Bikram yoga practice as a daily routine.2022: Needing some hot Bikram yoga in your life? Come join instructor Julie Tonks for a 90-minute hot Bikram yoga! Bikram yoga had helped my body become more flexible and rid lower back pain. It’s been a ten years since I practiced Bikram and am so glad Julie Tonks offer the original 90-minute Bikram yoga classes at Hot Yoga Sanford. $20 per 90-minute class. Bring your water bottle, towel, and yoga mat. (Yoga mat are available for $2 rental.)That little gardener in me had to take pictures of the tiny garden the landlord had in the midst of this little corner area in downtown Sanford next to the yoga studio.My first introduction to Bikram yoga was at Bikram Yoga Richardson in Texas. I remembered I was told that the goal for the very first class is to focus on survival mode, basically to not leave the hot yoga room during the 90 minutes. By the third class, I was able to participate through the 26 Bikram yoga poses in the heat.
July 08 · Snow LamI went to many classes when Julie taught at the other hot yoga school. She is a very good teacher who cares about the well-being of her students. She works very hard to constantly increase her knowledge about the mind and body and passes that knowledge to her students.
February 05 · Keith GFound this hot yoga studio while visiting my parents! Looking forward to coming back next time I'm in town. Great teacher and energy in the class. Highly recommend!
May 04 · Liz LetzelterHot Yoga Sanford is a fabulous studio offering the original hot yoga, Bikram, now referred to as 26/2. Julie, the owner, is very professional, and the studio is well-kept and clean. Bring your mat towel and water, and prepare to transform your body from bones to skin.
