| - The studio just opened at the end of May, I believe, but it's a wonderful place to practice!
The yoga room is nice and spacious. 6pm weekday classes can get pretty crowded, but even at the most full, I never felt like someone was right on top of me. I'm also on the taller side, so I really appreciate the high ceiling. Yes, sometimes I'll hit the heating ducts, but usually having my arms above my head in the room is not a problem.
As it's a Bikram yoga studio, there is carpet, and there is heat. I don't know what kind of carpet, but it's never bothered me. Room usually gets nice and hot and stays that way. Just be prepared for that if you've never practiced. Nice and bright during class, but very dark and relaxing for final savasana.
The instructors are all uniquely wonderful. Each one provides the class set forth to them by Bikram, but in her own way. I never feel like the class is just by the book. Also, all of them are welcoming to experienced yogis and total newbies alike.
If you've been curious about trying Bikram or adding yoga to your life, there's no time like the present. Bikram Yoga Squirrel Hill is a fantastic place to start your journey!
Edit: for those of you thinking of trying bikram, go for it but I will say this: the first class usually leaves people feeling upset/angry/sweaty/confused. I know it did for me. I think it's part of the logic of the $20/10 day deal. After a few classes, you'll really start to feel more comfortable in and out of the room, but post-first class...oh man was I annoyed.
