I love this studio. Everything about it is inviting: the instructors, the comfortable lighting, the intimate studio size, and yes even the carpeting is nice. Side note to that last part: a lot of people who experience other forms of yoga before they try bikram often remark about why there is carpeting in bikram studios and worry if it's sanitary. I understand this concern when you are used to putting your mat down on a hardwood floor. I am not an expert on the science of it but in THIS yoga practice, you will never have sweat more in your whole life. I think the carpet is necessary for traction. There have been times in triangle pose in other studios where I've slid out a few extra inches nearly falling into the splits on their carpet (need more practice in that pose, no doubt) but here I feel stable and secure in any precarious pose. Also, the majority of sweating occurs on your own mats so no real need to be distracted by what germs might be spreading about. I've never gotten sick from a class...just the opposite...it always radically improves my health. Very glad this studio is around.
