But we figured the top valve is the on/off and the bottom is the hot/cold. However, the hot/cold valve has no indication on which side is hot and which is cold. Most of them (maybe after certain years) can be turned 360 degree. There was a time I was going to take a shower, no hot water, no matter which side I turned, just no hot water. Then I went to the other one. The temperature went super high within seconds, luckily I managed to "escape". The shower room was covered it white smoke and I had to try to turn it off without burning myself. I notice the other studios have similar issue, and I hope they will pay more attention to their facilities.

Extremely disappointed!…read more I was visiting London from the States and I was so excited to find the power yoga company on yelp. It was just a few train stops away from my hotel. So I grabbed my ID, Oyster card, and some cash and ran out the door on my last day in London to take class. They don't take cash (didn't see that on their site and I'd been to a few sites that stressed they only take cash). I explained to the desk girl and a teacher that I didn't bring my cards and I was leaving London early tomorrow morning and was really looking forward to a class. They just kept repeating "sorry we don't take cash." Seriously? That was all they had to offer was "we don't take cash." I offered to pay the exact amount, just in case they don't have change - Nope. I suggested maybe I give one of them the cash and if they could buy class for me - NOPE. What great karma practice on their end - NOT! I'm a yoga teacher in DC at a very popular yoga studio. We often get visitors from other countries and other states, students who have forgotten wallets and didn't realize they were out of classes, students who really NEED some yoga or were looking forward to yoga that day. You know what we do? We let them in for free! It's really not that difficult. And I wasn't even asking for free yoga! I had money. Exact change and they refused to take it. They should review their best practice for rare situations like this. Because the way this was handled by two staff members was ridiculous. I considered going back with my card but why bother? They clearly do not have a Karma practice. And I can't believe that they are leading teacher training programs! Horrible!

I've been here 4 times now, attending classes with a different instructor each time, and have tried…read morethe Level 1, All Levels, and Flow and Restore classes thus far. Two of my visits have been on weekday evenings; the Flow and Restore was a Sunday evening, and I took 1 class on a Sunday morning at 8 AM (1st class of the day). I've enjoyed all the classes I've taken so far, and would definitely come back regularly. My favorite class has been the All Levels class, which I've attended twice. It definitely helps to have yoga experience beforehand, as this class goes pretty quickly and an explanation of what the poses are tends to be cursory but not super descriptive. I found that I got a very satisfying and sweaty workout from this class, and it was easy to adapt or make adjustments based on your personal level of practice. In contrast, the Level 1 class was definitely more suited for beginners, since the instructor made sure to describe and show each pose, and the class moved at a slower pace. All of the instructors I've had so far have been nice and good about making corrections in a constructive but unobtrusive way. Three of the classes I've taken have been in the downstairs studio, which is larger. The Level 1 class I took was in the upstairs studio, which was smaller. I believe that class also had a limited number of spots and the mats were all laid out for us when we arrived (in the downstairs studio you get and set up your mats/blocks yourself). The mats were really close together and I was always knocking into the person next to me, or the wall (I was at the end of a row of mats), which detracted from my experience a bit. I probably won't take the Level 1 class again, but I really liked the other classes I took in the downstairs studio. The changing rooms are nice and pretty clean; I think the floors are heated, which is nice. There are hooks from which to hang bags/coats but you leave your valuables at the front desk, where they give you a cubby # for when you come back to collect them. There is also 1 sink and a couple of showers in the ladies' changing room (can't speak for the men's). The changing rooms have fewer amenities than I've seen at the American studios I've been to, but they're definitely serviceable and welcoming (and I never used many of the amenities at my American studios anyway). Mats and blocks are provided, as well as washcloths and cleaning spray with which to wipe down the mats at the end of class. Even when attending class in the larger downstairs studio, I would recommend arriving early because the classes are pretty popular and floor space fills up fast. I usually arrive at least 15 minutes ahead of the scheduled class time but I've never been the 1st one there. When attending the 8 AM Sunday morning class, the studio was open at 7:45, although the reception desk was unmanned for a few minutes after 7:45 since the staff was setting up. This is a great studio to practice at, with a good range of instructors. You can definitely get a good workout from the All Levels class or a good introduction from the Level 1 class.

Bikram Yoga is basically yoga in a sauna - more specifically, it is a series of 26 Hatha Yoga…read morepostures and 2 breathing exercises carried out in a heated room. Hot Bikram Yoga is Balham is a new establishment which focuses specifically on Bikram Yoga. The centre is great and the interior is elegantly styled portraying a clam and serene atmosphere. The classes take place throughout the day, the earliest at 6.30am and the latest at 8pm and 8.45pm during the week which means that there's no excuse not to go after work! I could see why people become addicted to this type of yoga - on your first couple of times you may feel slightly dizzy due to the intense heat but once your body adapts you feel amazing, The centre is also offering an introductory special offer of 10 days for £10 which will give you a good opportunity to see if it something you enjoy. After that there are various bulk deals or £13 per class on a drop in basis which is slightly on the expensive side. Bikram Yoga is definitely worth a go and a great location for South Londeners. Take a couple of towels and prepare to sweat!

I've been doing Bikram for a few years, not in a hardcore, 30-day challenge way, but in a more…read morepedestrian regularly irregular type of way. Because of that I'm a sucker for Groupons and deals for different studios, but not anymore. Hot Bikram Yoga classes are by far the best I've taken. The instructors are incredibly nice, and encouraging without yelling and making you feel like an imbecile (It happens) which is great. I've only been to the Fulham and London Bridge locations but the rooms at both were really nice. Well spaced, good mirrors and a degree of natural light which is nice. The London Bridge studio in particular is the bomb dot com. The room is huge, and has some mirrored pillars which is awesome if you want to check your technique from the side. And just as a response to a couple of the other reviews, trust me when I say all the studios I've ever been to smell kind of funky, all of them have pretty small changing rooms, and all of them will cram you in if it's a busy class. It's yoga baby, get cosy.
