I have not had a good experience with the Covington, WA location for several reasons. My husband and I purchased the 10-class introductory package in December looking for a new studio after moving back to the area. The first class we did was Hatha, and let me tell you – I have done Hatha yoga in Phoenix, AZ in the middle of summer and this was still the hottest class I have ever done. I like it hot and have done hot yoga more times than I can count, but when you have to stay on your mat to keep from touching the heated floor because it’s burning your skin it is too hot. This is not to mention the heating elements on the ceiling – two long black panels that are eerily similar to the ones in your oven at home – not the most ‘zen’ experience I have ever had. Nevertheless, I love hot yoga and was willing to give this place another try until two very unprofessional incidents. First one was when we attended Zen on Wednesday evening. My husband “rented” a mat for our first class since his mat became worn out. When we tried to do this again for the second class they rang me up for a brand new $30 mat instead. When I clarified that I wanted to rent a mat the girl at the desk told me that “they don’t rent mats because of all the sweating and that someone gave you (my husband) someone’s gross sweaty mat from the lost and found.” Disgusting! He ended up using a towel from home and no mat for that class. Shortly after the second class, I suffered a badly sprained ankle that kept me from being able to practice. However, even after all of this I wanted to try to continue to practice. I emailed the studio with a photo of my ankle and asked them if they would be able to extend my trial into January since I had only tried two classes and if I was going to buy more I wanted to make sure it was a good fit – especially after the above incident. I received a canned response that they will not extend my trial but they would offer me a discount on their not-cheap packages. No thank you! This has been the worst yoga experience I have ever had after many years and many studios. This place is not about community or the principles that yoga teaches and I would not recommend it to anyone unless they want to throw hundreds of dollars at a studio as generic and inauthentic as a 24-hour fitness. At least at 24 they have clean towels.

I am very upset at this place right now. I was DOUBLE CHARGED for their 10 class package ($149!!) due to the computer system malfunctioning. When I brought this up 4 days later to the front desk woman, even showing proof with MY bank statement, she said she would have to look into it with her tech people and get back to me. I then sent them 2 emails with no reply and talked to 3 SEPARATE PEOPLE about the issue. No one has gotten back to me and of course I have not received my money back. This experience has made me really not want to come back, but I have to finish the original 10 classes that got me into this mess! Overall very unprofessional with how they deal with money issues. I would suggest looking elsewhere.

They invited students to leave children to watch through the windows. We were told upon arrival by the desk person that our deaf 7 year old daughter must be silent b/c her computer work is too difficult. She told us quite nastily that, "Well Im not deaf!!". We are so disappointed that the kind of people they employ there behave that way and are discriminatory to boot. Not to mention inviting themselves up handily to lawsuits. Namaste?? Leave your kids at home, leave your conscience as well if you visit this place.

I have taken a number of classes at this yoga studio and love it. The teachers really know their stuff, are happy to assist with modifications, and take a genuine interest in their students yoga journey. The studio is very clean, the students are friendly (many appear to have developed friendships through here) and each teacher brings a unique gift to their class. For $10 for first time students to try it, I am not sure why anyone would hesitate to improve their overall wellbeing.

The atmosphere at HYI Covington is warm and comfortable. The studio is very clean as well. You can tell it has been well taken care of. I have only had good experiences with the staff who are quick to help with questions or concerns. If you let the teachers know about any existing issues you may have before they are happy to offer variations of poses in class for you!

I have been going to this place for about 10 months and I like it a lot. The room is super spacious and the staff has been friendly and professional. I would personally prefer lower temperature.
