Loved coming here for hot yoga! I did the introductory package and got in 3 or 4 times during that package. This is without a doubt my favorite place for hot yoga so far here in Raleigh. The instructor was super friendly and asked me a lot after class about my experiences and what I thought and gave recommendations for other classes offered that I may also want to try out based on what I like. The class was challenging and really nice and hot, which I love. The class titles can be a little confusions, but Bloodstone is a great cardio/​yoga flow combo workout and black opal is more of a traditional flow yoga.
My only complaint is that the parking situation is a little sticky, so come early to get a spot. And as others have mentioned, there aren’t showers, but I don’t ever shower at studios/​gyms anyway, so if you’re like me, then it doesn’t matter. I guess if you need a shower, that could be problematic, though.

I have been doing hot yoga at the Durham location since it opened. I’ve seen a variety of instructors and all have been extremely knowledgeable. The room is always hot and we stay on schedule. I always know I got an amazing workout when I leave! Thank you Arrichion!

I tried out there hot yoga today. I have the hot yoga before, and I was glad that I had some experience. The class was a little easy for me because I did have an experience. I was surprised because it was only about 45 minutes, and I’m used to the 90 minute classes at other places. But it was still very hot and I definitely got a workout. The only downside was I was very crowded, but I knew that it was going to be because of the Groupon that I used to go there. It is definitely worth visiting again. Everyone who works there is super helpful!

I got the 20 classes in 20 days for $ 20 like many other reviewers have mentioned. I thought it was a great deal and decided to try it out. My only experience with yoga has been doing P90X, never any kind of class, so I was excited to try something new.
I’ve been 3 times so far and absolutely love it. I’ve been going in the mornings which doesn’t have the crowding problem people have been mentioning.
It’s a strenuous routine meant for people who are fairly fit (although they are very accommodating, you won’t feel bad for not being able to keep up. Just most of the other people are fairly fit so that’s the kind of environment there. Not your grandma’s yoga class).
The only downside is there’s only one shower in each changing room, so there’s a big bottleneck for people wanting to get cleaned up. I’ve been just heading home in my sweat and showering there.
Although I really enjoy going I don’t plan on continuing after my 20 days are up. Yoga is an expensive pass time for a guy happy going to Planet Fitness to workout ($ 20/​month).

I tried this establishment because it is near my house. I was greatly disappointed in several aspects.
— The staff and existing members are less than friendly. No one welcomed me or thanked me for trying their studio. I didn’t get showed around. I asked about restrooms and was told I could go down stairs through the wrestling room. There was people wrestling in there and I felt uncomfortable so I didn’t go.
— There’s not any showers!!! It’s HOT yoga for goodness sakes!
— Parking is less than ideal. I was always able to find a spot in the neighboring lots but Arrichion only has a few of their own spots.
–The classes are boring!!! I tried all the yoga classes, not the MMA so I can’t speak for that. I have practiced yoga for several years and I know the benefit of repetitive routines (such as bikram) but the instructors were all monotone and did not seem like they wanted to be there.
–The walls are thin so while in the yoga room you can hear the music and other noise going on throughout the building. Very distracting.
–I gave them 2 stars because I felt bad only giving 1. I guess Their prices aren’t bad but you get what you pay for.
If you want a nice gym with a variety of classes, go a little further to Burn Athletic in Brier creek. Amazing staff, classes, and facility. (I’m not affiliated with them, just a happy member)

What I love about Arrichion:
–The class times — there is always a class I can get to. Numerous classes daily 7 days a week. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings.
–They do Groupon deals often and you don’t have to be a new member to purchase,
–Arrichion is where I started my hot yoga practice and I will forever by grateful for them changing my life with this awesome workout.
As I mentioned in my previous review I adored the Charlotte studio, but I’m still not in love with the Raleigh one. The studio feels old and it get’s packed. Since Arrichion use to be all that I knew I thought being this close to your neighbor was normal but now practicing at several other studios around town I don’t believe that is the case, and I’ve really started enjoying having some space during my yoga practice.
Parking at this location can be difficult and forget about trying to get out of there during rush hour. I actually moved fairly close by to this studio now which is why I decided to give it another chance. But it takes forever to get home since you can’t make a left onto Glenwood (totally not Arrhichon’s fault but I just wish they had another more convenient location).
Most of the classes are 45 minutes and they move fast. Thank goodness I remembered the workout but they do very little instruction so if you’re a newbie you will have a tough time keeping up. I enjoy having a mirror in front of me and instructors who come around and correct me so I know I’m doing the poses right they don’t have a mirror here and rarely have I seen the instructors walk around doing corrections.
I started at Arrichion 3 or 4 years ago and they still haven’t changed the music. The black opal class I took was exactly the same it was since I took it years ago. I feel like they should change it up a bit.
I’ll still keep Arrichion as one of my drop in studios but I don’t think I’d join up again for a monthly membership.

I bought a group here for 20 classes for 20 dollars – WHAT A GREAT DEAL! I really like the classes. They are very challenging (and obviously hot) but I really enjoyed them. I will say the place is packed and parking is a nightmare. You definitely want to get there early so you get a parking space and a spot in the yoga room. Sometimes things are so packed that you don’t even have an inch between your mat and the person beside you.
I would love to continue to go, but I think their pricing is a little high. I think it is $ 230 for 20 classes (expires in a year).

Got a great Groupon deal here for 20 classes for $ 20. I’ve been to 3 so far and even though it’s my first hot yoga experience, I’ve really enjoyed it!
They offer different classes every evening after work hours. The strength class is tough but a fun challenge. I preferred the more standard hot yoga class with traditional yoga poses and deep stretches. The instructors are very nice and lead the classes well. So far, I am liking this location a lot! Be sure to bring your own mat, towel and water or you have to pay rental fees each time.

I’ve been a member here for almost two years. The classes are always challenging and rewarding. The instructors are like coaches in that they will encourage you and help you get stronger, more flexible, healthier… you name it and they are there to help! The floor is cleaned after every class and they spray the room. The classes range from beginners to more advanced students. Not only do they have hot yoga (and krystallos-​a hot Pilates class!) but they have circuit training classes which will surely kick your butt (in a good way)! There’s now a new MMA yoga class with 3 pound dumb bells which is really fun and challenging. The studio has a milestone program where students are rewarded with a band for achieving a certain number of classes. This is a great way that the studio recognizes their clients and keeps them encouraged and motivated. If you are looking to spice up your workout-​give Arrichion a try! The classes are fun and geared towards all levels but the heat may need a few classes to get used to.

The facility is okay, but it just isn’t a place where I could practice on a regular basis. The yoga room shares a wall with their multi-​purpose equipment room. Occasionally the class in the adjacent room is loud, and I find it distracting. It’s not a good fit for me, but there are clearly many dedicated regulars.
Oh, and I was told to get water from the bathroom sink. Not a problem, just odd.

I’ve taken Topaz and Krystallos at the Raleigh location. Topaz is an excellent beginning level class both as an intro/​continuation of yoga practice and for the heat. I had never taken a hot yoga class before and I was shocked at how much I loved it. Krystallos is more like hot Pilates mat work. Lots of focus on the abs! This class was at capacity when I took it but I had no issues with hitting anyone. To be fair, I am short, but I found the nook in the back was perfect. As for the comments about no mirrors, I’m glad they’re not there! I’d be too focused on what I look like than whether I was focusing on the actual move. I like the idea of escaping from the constant worry of what I might look like doing something. I can let the heat relax me and sink into each move.

Arrichion is not for the traditional practitioners of yoga. Arrichion takes yoga to a whole new level. This is yoga to the extreme where the focus is fitness, core work and strength in addition to all of the benefits of traditional yoga. If you want a total body transformation then dig deep and come to Arrichion. If your desire is to achieve total inner peace then you might want to move on. Tigers Eye is the toughest workout in Raleigh with a killer combination of yoga and circuit training. My husband typically burns around 1500 calories in this hour long class. Warrior is the circuit only class which is a wonderful addition to the yoga classes. Sparta is a strength training class where you further develop the core strength you gain in the yoga classes.
Yes the changing rooms are small and there is not a full service day spa in the locker room like at some of the boutique fitness centers in the area. But that is not the focus of Arrichion. The focus is on getting you into the best shape of your life. Yes the room is hot, but come on, it is a HOT yoga studio, what do you expect? Yes there are a lot of people in the classes, but I think that it is motivation to keep working in the classes.
So many of the negative reviews on here are from people who want the traditional yoga practice and don’t like having to push themselves to a new level.
Challenge yourself to a achieve a new level in your total body fitness and you will become addicted to Arrichion like my husband and I are. We have both seen amazing results and you will too.

I’ve practicing hot yoga for almost 2 years and have been to three hot yoga studios in the Triangle (Indigo, Open Door, and Arrichion). By far, Arrichion keeps their room the most sweltering out of all the three. I don’t actually think it’s any hotter than other studios, rather there is a lack of ventilation/​fresh air. I’ve never felt closer to death than I have at Arrichion (that’s a positive and a negative).
Adding to the heat, the classes are pretty full, but this has been my experience at all hot yoga studios. It’s funny how much people are complaining about that aspect — c’mon it’s just a hand or a foot, not the end of the world. Besides, you’ll be so sweaty you’ll just slide right off each other!
Most classes seem to be less about connecting with your inner self and more «warrior”/athlete focused, so if you’re not totally down with the hippie BS aspect of yoga, maybe Arrichion is for you!
Arrichion has no showers and the changing room is pretty cramped after class when everyone rushes out (as is the parking lot). Also, there is also no full length mirror, like most studios, to monitor your posture. On one hand, I’ve heard teachers say we use the mirror as a crutch, but on the other I need to know if my half moon is actually a half moon and not a bent straw. However, I do like the variety of classes that Arrichion offers. Overall, I would go back if I got bored with another studio.

This should really be more of a 2.5 review based off of 2 Bloodstone classes and 1 Topaz.
The Bloodstone class is unlike any other hot yoga class I’ve ever taken. The room is BOILING (bikram hot, y’all) and the asanas are repetitive. Warrior 1, Warrior 2, and chaturangas over and over and over and over and over until you want to fall asleep but you can’t because it’s too hot and you’re exhausted and annoyed. It seems like this class was made for strength trainers and MMA fighters who want yoga on the side. Not at all for enthusiasts who want to further their regular practice. Also, not a good class for beginners as the instructor gives no variation or corrections.
The Topaz class is far better with varied asanas and a more peaceful, breath focused hatha practice. Better for beginners although the instructor offers no corrections. The class is slow enough though where you can watch others to see how they carry a pose.
The instructor talks throughout which I found distracting but others might find pleasing. The room was not as hot as with the Bloodstone class. Also, curiously, the Topaz class was far less packed than Bloodstone.
I went to both during off hours, afternoon and weekends and for Bloodstone, the room was at or near capacity. Can’t imagine how crowded it must get on weekday evenings. After both classes, my body just didn’t feel right. Arrichion just isn’t for me.
All in all, recommended if you do martial arts or intensive training and want to continue a strength-​based yoga practice. Or if you’re looking for an inexpensive way to incorporate yoga into your regular workout routine. But I don’t recommend for beginners or those with a regular yoga practice.

I feel like I need to write a review to defend this place. It’s not nearly as bad as many of the reviewers are making it out to be. In fact, I thought the place was pretty great.
To address some of the reviewers complaints so you can make an informed decision:
— Are the classes packed? Yes, they are. Most likely your mat will be inches away from the mat next to you so yes– sometimes you may bump arms with someone or notice that the person in front of you is in dire need of a pedicure, but that is what yoga classes are like in any major city. Worrying about other people will keep you from concentrating on your form, anyways.
— Is it hot? Yes. It’s called HOT yoga. It is no hotter than any other Hot Yoga facility. If you are brand new to hot yoga, you may need to lay down or sit down at some point b/​c at first the humidity and heat can be a little much. But your body will adjust after a few classes.
— Are classes traditional Bikram yoga classes? No. Arrichion blends different styles of yoga and some mat pilates moves into each class style. If you are a yoga die hard — this might be disappointing or distrcting. But if your objective is to increase flexibility, work your core, and improve balance then what do you care if it’s traditional or not?
That being said, would I personally invest in month-​to-​month? No. Doing Hot Yoga and only hot yoga is not enough for me and for that kind of money ($ 115 a month) there are places close by that offer hot yoga + other classes (like spin and TRX). Plus the «Warrior» class that is offered once a day is average at best. On that point — I will agree with previous reviews.
Perhaps the bitter Betties that gave this place a bad review left their zen in the locker room b/​c they need to chill. This place is fine and a great place to switch up your normal workout with something different.
One final note: I do wish that all hot yoga facilities (not just Arrichion) would post a memo to patrons saying something like «Please be a considerate yogi. If you ate garlic or curry for lunch or chugged a 6-​pack of beer last night, please do not take class. The scent of alcohol, garlic and curry come out in your sweat and makes people around you want to die. Namaste — Management»

Like many other reviews pointed out, this place is PACKED! You have people all around you. It’s hard to do all the postures without hitting other people. The instructors don’t really give out clear instructions on how to do each poses, let along coming around to check on people’s poses. I also find it weird that there is no mirror in the room. How am I suppose to know if doing the poses correctly or not if no one is correcting me and I can’t even see myself? How is this different from doing yoga with videos playing on my laptop (other than the heat)?
Maybe when people stop working on their new year resolution or use up their living social deal, the crowd will die down… I will be part of the crowd who never return.

After having taken 10 classes at this studio, I would like to update my review. First, I want to start with what I DO like:
1. They recognize milestones. They hand out wristbands depending on how many classes you’ve taken and recognize you at the beginning of the class. This is great and keeps students motivated to continue practicing.
2. Great core workout in every class!
3. Lots of heat… yes, I love to come and sweat!
Unfortunately, I felt the need to remove 1 of the stars I had awarded this studio previously. I am still a fan, but there are a few things I would recommend for them that would have improved my experience:
1. The hot flow classes (Bloodstone) provide very little variety from one class to the next. There are SO many different postures to practice in yoga, and I don’t feel like these classes provide a very well rounded yoga education. I found myself doing more or less the same postures every class, which left me feeling like I was never expanding my practice.
2. The instructors never introduce themselves before or after class, so I felt like I wasn’t really connected to them on a more personal level. In addition, the instructor’s names aren’t listed on the class schedule, so I never knew who was teaching my classes. I’m not sure why they do it this way, but it felt a little like they were trying to be anonymous, which made me slightly uncomfortable.
3. They pile too many people into the yoga room. They’ve laid tape on the floor so that when the class is full, you know where to put your mat so that everyone can fit… This is great, but the tape marks are just too close to one another. In the 10 classes I’ve taken I’ve been kicked, stepped on, and slapped (all by accident of course) but this doesn’t make for a very rewarding yoga experience.

When I decided to try hot yoga, I noticed that Arrichion had the best reviews. Even though the location is not good for me, I decided to try it out with their $ 20 for 20 days deal. I am SO glad that I didn’t let the location deter me! I always feel like I have gotten a solid workout, the instructors are excellent and it is truly a judgement free zone. The classes are also shorter than typical yoga classes, which is a plus for me — I am usually pressed for time and I can depend on Arrichion classes to start and end on time.
The reason I am not giving the studio 5 stars is because the changing area is very small and parking can be difficult, but I am thrilled to have found a studio that is in line with my fitness philosophy.

Arrichion Hot Yoga is the best hot yoga facility in North Carolina… hands down! Quinn Reynolds and her team have done a great job with bringing the hottest (pardon the pun) yoga trend to the Tarheel State! They have a top-​notch facility and all of the instructors do a fantastic job with teaching. I’ve tried a couple of the Bikram hot yoga facilities around but have a problem committing to the 1.5 hr format that most of them have. What I like about Arrichion is that each class lasts an hour (which fits better with my schedule), and they have classes of varying lengths, which feature a variety of different types of yoga formats. This has been alot more motivating for me than the other programs I’ve tried. I’d definitely recommend Arrichion if you want to experience the benefits of yoga… or even if you’re experienced with yoga but want to try something new!

Awesome. I had tried old-​school Bikram yoga many years ago, and liked it, but the whole 90 minute thing was an obstacle and some of the poses seemed ineffective and superfluous. I have tried most of the classes at Arrichion and they all rock.
60 minutes, great workout, great environment. You will SWEAT, my friend. The Krystallos is a great core class, the Tiger Eye is a great hybrid workout/​yoga class and the Bloodstone adds music and has a pretty intense salutation series, the Diamond is done by candlelight with music and is a great way to wrap up the week– Black Opal is my personal fave. Each hour long class goes by in a flash. I shall sweat my many caloric sins over the holidays out right here. Bring water, a towel, and a yoga mat.
