I LOVE Blyss. The owner, Coaracy, is so awesome. He runs the coolest most laid back studio and…read morealways greets you with a smile and some insightful knowledge about yoga or the moon cycle or the origin of language. He has a great deal for people who are trying the studio out for the first time: 10 classes for 50 reals! That way you can try out each teacher and see which classes you like the best before you commit. It is also an English-friendly studio for those of you expats out there. The prices at Blyss are the best I have found. I pay R$220/month to go 3 times per week. Since I travel a lot, he lets me freeze my account and start back up when I get back with no hassle. As for the teachers, I really love them all. Sá, Ju and Rebeca are amazing. There are classes all day long so it really should suit anyone's schedule. The studio was recently remodeled so it is now one big room, which I love. If you love yoga, you will love Blyss.

The studio is OK, but there are a few problems: 1. it is not…read morevery clean, there is hair and lots of other stuff on the floors and I felt uncomfortable because of that 2. there is little space in the crowned waiting room 3. it is over-priced for very average teachers (there are cheaper Yoga studios with better teachers in Ipanema)

This is an excellent yoga studio here in Copacabana. I believe they also have a studio in Botofogo…read more If you are a Bikram yogi already, you will love this place. The studio is almost brand-new, so it is clean, bright, and very well designed. The heat is pretty evenly distributed throughout the room, but the front and back rows are a tiny bit cooler because of the way the heaters work. The teachers here are all very good. Some of them will give you individual attention, but the general trend is not to focus too much on individuals. If you are working on something specific, however, talk to the instructor before the class begins, and they will be more than happy to come and give you some attention during the class. Most of the classes are taught in Portuguese, but there are a few taught in English. The instructors all speak English however, so if you're missing the cue, they'll tell you in English. If you usually practice in the US or other less humid climates, I would suggest bringing more water than you usually do. The humidity here in Rio is a real challenge. Prices are in line with other Bikram studios around the world. R$50 for one class. They also have unlimited weekly, monthly, and yearly packages as well as 10-time passes.
