Bikram's Yoga College Of India

Avoid night classes and the owner!. The first time I went to this place I wanted to cry. I don't think you are supposed to feel that way after yoga. I bought a Living Social deal and went to a 3:30pm class. They allowed 50 people to attend the class (literally). When I asked when is better time to attend a class with less people the owner told me "we are very popular studio and you are just going to have to deal with it." I did however continue to go because I had bought the deal. I started attending the 12pm class and found that to be much less crowded and a bit more enjoyable. The instructors are pretty good from what I know about Bikram instructors....which isn't much.

I would definitely say if you have another option, go with that.…

WORST YOGA EXPERIENCE, EVER. I never write reviews, but my experience with this place was so bad that I feel responsible to tell others. Where do I begin? Any El line is more sanitary than this place. I've been to several other bikram studios and sometimes there's a slight funky odor but I've never encountered anything this bad, not even on the under passes to LSD bike path.

You're expected to clean your rental mat (which is normal), however they offer no spray bottles or sanitizer other than one hand pump affixed to the wall that in no way can be used to clean a mat. It's disgusting. (I ended up washing mine in the shower, but now I realize why my feet were sticking to the mat so much to begin with--so GROSS!).

Had I had a good instructor today I may not have taken the time to write this but she was awful too. I've never before heard a yoga instructor scold a student for not keeping up with the first breathing exercise (pranayama), and she paced the class like power yoga until towards the end (when I guess she realized we were going too quickly) and the class ended up finishing early. This isn't the first time I've been here and overheard the instructors scold students as if they were small children. Just garbage.

This is not what yoga should be, no matter what form you practice!…

AVOID AVOID AVOID. I have been practicing for many years and this is THE WORST studio and yoga experience I've ever encountered. If you are truly into yoga and before spending your hard-earned money supporting this establishment, believe all the negative reviews. I am stunned that anyone who does yoga gives this studio positive feedback.…
