  • I decided to try out Bikram 7 months ago because one of my friends could not stop talking about how great it is. I had been been practicing at Amazing Yoga for almost 3 years and I decided to challenge myself at Bikram Yoga Pittsburgh. Like many of the reviewers below I misunderstood the concept behind Bikram. I was expecting to be challenged like i was at AY where the instructors tell you how long to hold a pose when to go deeper. Bikram on the other hand is more of a mental challenge there is no "flow" and so you kind of decide for yourself how long you are going to hold each pose. You also have to quiet your mind and breathe and push yourself when in different poses more than you do while doing Baptiste I expected to be good at all the poses because i had been practicing Yoga for so long but the challenge was not in the poses but more in focusing my mind on breathing. So my first tip if you haven't practiced Bikram before don't have any physical expectations of yourself. Just go quiet your mind and breathe... Parking is relatively easy to get during the weekdays but it may get tricky on the weekends when the strip gets crazy but there are some lots around and off street parking a few blocks away Contrary to the reviews below I loved Sherie...As a newbie i introduced myself and told her it was my first class and she remembered my name. it made me feel more comfortable about the experience: ONE STAR already my favourite thing about her classes is that she explains the benefits of most of the poses...i don't know about you but in between bow pose its nice to be reminded that my back is reaping some benefits TWO STARS She also paused the class in once instance and demonstrated how to do camel right...She is also very encouraging. Forgive me but I like being told when I'm doing something right especially when I'm sweating like a pig but she will also tell you when you need adjustments ..... THREE STARS I have also practiced with Zeb and he is very welcoming and has been beyond professional and he truly cares about his students.....They are all very passionate about what they do!!! In regards to the negative reviews yes they will tell you to sit up when you just really want to get into child's pose and they will tell you not to drink your water in between poses.... don't take it personally they are the instructors! and they know their shit so let go of the resistance and let them do what they are good at. Your practice will grow and you will soon notice your body doing things you didn't think were possible (like going through an entire class without a sip of water) The studio is clean and they have showers!!!!!! so you don't have to stink up the grocery store or your car on your way home. I'm not a big fan of the carpet but this seems to be a common thing in Bikram studios (maybe it helps with postures?) plus the shower and spacious changing room makes up for it. - FOUR STARS As far as the pricing it is very reasonable. I used to think yoga in Pittsburgh was expensive until i moved to denver..people $150 for monthly unlimited Yoga is deal!!!! students also get 10% off too - SCORE!!!!! -FIVE STARS I have been practicing Bikram in Denver as well but BYPGH has made the most impact on my practice. and i can tell the benefits...(hello tight butt and strong arms..i had missed you ) All the other students are super friendly and it is an amazing environment to expand your practice in. So to the reviewers below. Give BYPGH a second chance with no expectations and no resistance you will find that it is a beautiful practice that will change your life. Fo Realz!
