| - Not for me, but...
I took about 4 classes at this studio. The first 3 went well for me (I have been a dancer for most of my life, so yoga comes pretty easily), the 4th one ruined it though. I appreciate the idea behind Bikram, but I just felt like the heat was closing in on me... I think I nearly had a panic attack as my whole body turned bright red. I made it through the class somehow, but only with numerous breaks. I thought I was dying.
I do love yoga, and I know that this studio is following the Bikram style and requirements. However, the carpeted floors *WERE gross (glad to hear that they aren't carpeted anymore).
The employees do have a bit of arrogance about them (like when I said I've done "hot yoga" before, and they basically laughed at me when I told them where... "Oh, haha, that's not Bikram."). The positive side is that the instructors are very helpful during practice (when it matters most) and make an attempt to learn everyone's name to motivate you. As a teacher and dance instructor myself, I find that to be very inviting, especially the first time you're trying something new.
The facilities here are great as well; I appreciate the fact that they have showers and a large locker room.
