Hot 8 Yoga's founder still runs the company day-to-day, but a Sydney-based private equity firm has owned it outright since 2018 and was shopping it for sale as of May 2026. The record includes a pending, unresolved wage-and-hour lawsuit filed in November 2024 and no confirmed environmental disclosures across its 16 heated studios. The company's future, ownership and all, sits with BBRC Worldwide's exit timeline, not with the instructors teaching its classes.
