I have been practicing yoga for 9 years and am a yoga teacher. This place is very special to me. Relative to other Bikram studios, Bikram Phoenix has a more tranquil feel. There is an altar with two of the most revered modern yoga masters on the planet. There are tea lights around the studio, helping to create the tranquility. The owner, Brooke Sterling, has managed to keep Cystic Fibrosis in check for more than 40 years. She claims Bikram Yoga is part of the reason. The staff here is friendly. I love it.
