What a lovely hot yoga spot! I went to try a Hot HIIT class and really enjoyed it and got a good sweat. For class, you will need a mat, towel for your mat and water bottle. They recommend arriving 10 minutes before class, as doors are locked once class starts, and no late entries are permitted. The studio is inside City Square Mall on the ground floor beside the food court. There is underground parking. Bring your ticket up to the studio to get 2.5 hours free parking. However it's also very accessible by transit. They have a spacious locker room (you need a quarter for the locker) and showers as well (bring your own products and towel). The instructor Ken was great and there was a good variety of movements. read more

This is the most beautiful yoga studio I have ever been to. It's always kept in immaculate condition. The energy is so peaceful and the staff are great. The Instructors are incredible! They really know the human body in a very scientific way as well as understanding the spiritual connection achieved through yoga practice. The location is very convenient, right up the street from the skytrain station. Love it! read more

Update * not all instructors are great... minus 1 star. Take Stephanie's or Danny's classes Pilates with Lisa is still super great read more

I wanted to write this review for a while but I was always intimidated by the prospect of expressing how much I have gained from this studio. I started practicing Hot yoga over ten years ago and this was one of the best decisions of my life. I gained the following from practicing at this studio once or twice a week: - Pain free body ( i am 54) - Amazing mobility and balance - Lean muscles and slim frame - Calmness of mind - Confidence - Security. After class, I feel rejuvenated in a way no other fitness class has ever made me feel. I also benefit tremendously from the hot pilates classes. This is the only studio where "hot" actually means something - it is so hard to find actually heated workout classes in this city. As I mentioned, I am 54, and thanks to your classes I feel like i'm 30 both mentally and physically. Thank you very much, Deb read more

This place is amazing. I'm not a professional yoga person, I only do it about 10 times a year and when I like to do it, I like to do HOT. Some hot yoga places, are not even hot and you don't even sweat. This place is actually HOT, feels like a sauna, and the classes instructors here are really amazing. The teachers really help the newbies like me in explaining form in ways that a beginner can understand, they are very motivating. A good balance of work and rest. At some times they turn the heat low, so you get some breaks of cool air because being in a sauna for 60 mins can be intense, so I feel like its about 45-50min of intense heat. If you are brand brand new, just know that the classes here are intense, but it's honestly an amazing workout if you can finish it, and you can always take a rest if you need to, it's yoga. read more

I came here for the new Inferno Hot Pilates class with Stephanie. The class was described as a 60min HIIT class which I was nervous about because thinking of doing that in a 35 degree room sounded torturous. Entering the facility I noticed right away how wonderful and find the staff are!! They remember your name, and make you feel so happy for being there. They offer towels and mats for $5 each however i would definitely recommend brining your own because ppl get very very sweaty in that room! The locker rooms have open cubbies, with small lockers that cost 25cents to use, however I felt it wasnt necessary as it was a very secure and well orchestrated studio. Heading into the actual room, we were each given assigned spots on the floor. As a newbie to the class I was strategically placed in the centre, close to where i could hear and see the instructor which i really really appreciated. Also, because its assigned seating, the instructor knew my name without asking me and knew everyone else's name too! It was apparent that this studio values their customers! Stephanie was so amazing, so friendly, and motivating. OH and also, there is underground parking which the validate, so its free! Im definitely going back read more

Bring a big bottle of water and enjoy it. This is my second church, not only is it good for your body, your mind but also your spirit. I feel amazing after each and every class. They are patient with newbies so find a spot at the back to use the wall. You learn something new about yourself every class, what ever your level. The teachers give you tips on your own pose and assist you to quiet your mind. The location is great, no need to go downtown and free underground parking. (stamp your ticket) Just challenge your own limits and breathe. ~~~~Namaste~~~~ read more

Hot Yoga 101 - Entrance from the elevator - Yoga Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

See all

This is my favourite yoga studio. I've been to 4 and nothing compares to the City Square branch. Staff are friendly specially Steph. I stopped practising birkram for 3 yrs but Steph made me comfortable and gave me tips to get back on track. She also gave me discounts on my monthly member fee. Isn't she amazing?! I like that they offer a 60-minute class instead of 90 minutes. It comes in handy when you only have an hour to spare. This studio is always clean and I like that the temperature in the yoga room is consistent. I will definitely recommend to friends and family. read more

I don't know how this place is getting good reviews. I've been to lots of yoga studios & this was awful. In fact, I had a 1-month Groupon but after the first visit I was done. Teacher was nice enough but could hardly speak English so she was hard to understand. Worst still was the florescent lighting in the studio. I felt like I was practicing yoga in an office space. It's a shame, I live close by so was excited to check it out. read more

I love this studio and highly recommend it. The instructors all bring their unique teaching styles, tips and techniques (and senses of humor) and they are all awesome. The quality across the board is super high and it's a great work out every time! They make a point to remember your name and meet students wherever they are at, regardless of skill level. In addition, the community that these folks have built is warm, connected and inclusive - it really makes a difference! I cannot say enough good about Hot Yoga 101! Also, you must try the hot pilates HIIT class (as far as I'm concerned it's the best work out in the city!) read more

After i've been here for a couple of months, I think the pricing has worked out in a way that makes sense for me and my budget. I am on the monthly premium towel service ($55) and i get the value back by the 7th class I take. As i've been tracking my classes per month through my Visit History, I'm on track to save $30 by being on the premium towel service. read more

One of my friend invited me to try Bikram Vancouver last year around August, since she was so beautiful, that's an invite that I can not refuse!! My one year membership at other yoga studio just about to expire. By that time, I heard some rumor about Bikram from my studio already. Some said, it's too difficult for beginner. Some said it's way too hot. Some said it's damaging our health... etc. I'm the crazy one that don't listen to the rumors. I showed up to my invitation. I was greeted by friendly staffs. And advised to get a bottle water. I was laughing inside my mind. "Bottle water!? I have done many hot yoga classes. I don't need water!" The class started with a strange breathing exercise. It was hot and humid. And 90 minutes was looooong. Half way through the class, I felt the exhaustion. Though, there are a lot of savasana (dead body pose) to really rest through before the next posture. And so much sweat and so intense. It's not like other kind of hot yoga that I experienced! At the 90th minutes with the final savasana, that tranquility, and internal peace was something that I had never experienced. It's "divine"! Despite all the rumors that I heard from my own studio. I instinctively know that keep coming to Bikram is a great idea! Even with one more week of membership left at my own studio, even with one month holiday plan ahead. I decided to purchase one year unlimited pass right on the spot!! As of today, I just completed my day 64 challenge of my epic & insane 108 days Bikram challenge. And I have my red water bottle with me every class!! read more

Om my god, holy group-on.... This place is modern, but not very nice. no real attention to detail and not very clean when i attended. Needless to say, it's not the only place to practice in the city! I won't be going back. read more

Having returned to Bikram Yoga recently, the Alberni St location is more convenient for me but I also attended some classes at Cambie. The difference between the two is night and day. Front Desk: Not the friendliest. Engaging with customers instead of staring at your computer screen or chatting amongst yourself while people wait goes a long way to building relationships. Decor: Bright, high ceilings, neutral decor. Changing Facilities: Six showers, large area to hang mats, lots of cubby holes and lockers, an area with mirrors and hair-dryers, lots of benches/seating. In short they thought about what their yogis needed from a room and incorporated it! A pleasure to use. The Room: Large enough to hold 80 people, it's much fresher smelling that I expected. Floor looks like wood but feels spongy underfoot. Also the heaters here simultaneously made my class easier and harder: I sweat much more in this room but doesn't feel as overwhelmed by it and the heat doesn't feel as dry. The main highlight for me is the practice room and the changing rooms. I was able to take a shower, dry off and change without elbowing anyone in the head unlike the westend where everyone is crowded into a tiny space. read more

I walked by a few times and got curious. The gents at the front were keen to give me the info about class times and the ins and outs of Bikram. It took me another month to actually get up the nerve to go. A friend of mine let me know what to expect, basically a group coaching session on yoga. Once I was able to focus on the voice and listen to the purpose of her words it clicked. I also found someone in the room with experience to follow. The teacher was Roxana, and I would most definitely go to her class again. I registered the day before so that I wouldn't have to get to class too ahead of time. (6am comes so early!) I suggest early morning classes because there are few people and that gives more time for the instructor to spend and notice each participant. She gave gentle cues and remembered the names of all 20 people (impressive!) I'll be back. If you go, the first time is free right now and they've got great deals for first timers. I suggest planning if you want to buy a package first, before you go ahead and get their free class. The first free time includes the mat, but you have to pay $2.25 for the towel. If you want to rent towel and mat each time after that it's $2.25 per item. read more

I have been going to Bikram Yoga here for a few months. I have really enjoyed the classes for the most part. The 6:15 classes are super busy so if you are able to attend at a different time I strongly recommend it, last time they actually came in to shuffle people around to make room. At least one person left because it was too full and I found some of the poses next to impossible to do properly because of lack of room. Except for Julia who I would avoid at all costs since she didn't really explain the positions at all making it hard for the beginners to follow the class. Not to mention she was obnoxious to listen to as you were trying to pay attention to. As for the rest of the instructors I thought they were great. They really explained the positions and gently corrected you when needed. The class itself is great. I like the array of poses and I like that there are some that are easy for beginners and others that are challenging so that you always have somewhere to focus on for improvement. The first part of the class is all stand up poses which involve a lot of balance and the second half is all on the mat. The room itself is open and bright with lots of mirrors and the change rooms have lots of space and cubby holes to put your stuff. They keep everything quite tidy and clean and there are lockers if you want to lock up your valuables. There is lots of parking in the parkade and you can get your ticket stamped so that you don't have to pay at the front desk which is convenient. I do agree with Shoppa H. though that the front desk can be a little stand-offish. they seem to be more engrossed in there gossip than in assisting new and old clients. If they could be a little more welcoming I am sure they would gain some more clients that stop after the first few visits. read more

This yoga studio is conveniently located at the City Square Mall very close to the Canada Line. They offer bikram series (60 or 90 minutes) and inferno hot pilates. The studio has nice and spacious changing rooms with a tap for filtered water, hair dryers, paid lockers ($0.25 per use), yoga rack, and such. Facilities and location wise, I consider this studio very good. However, its low rating comes from its classes. For instance, I wish that some of their instructors approach new students (like me) more to correct our posture. Additionally it would have been nice for the instructors to tell us how to properly stretch and what it feels like (some instructors did this well and some didn't say anything at all). Lastly, I found the light much too bright for my personal liking. I've taken hot yoga classes before at another studio and they actually dim the light quite a bit to create a relaxing environment. Overall, I give this place a 3.5 (rounded down to a 3) based on personal preference. read more

Visiting Vancouver, I trekked along with my friend, who's a regular, to this studio. Having practiced Bikram for a while, I've experienced a slew of different teachers, styles and studios. This one is definitely one I would come back to when I'm back! The studio is very clean. The wood (laminate?) floors make the studio feel hygienic and they mop it after every class. There's showers (no shampoo though) to rinse off after practice, lots of lockers that you can rent for a quarter to lock up valuables and have towel and mat rentals. I ended up going to the 60 minute hot yoga class, where they followed the Bikram practice but cut out a few of the second sequences of poses. For a lazy yoga practitioner like myself, I actually appreciated it, especially since I haven't gone to a class for a month, due to my travel schedule. The only thing I wish this studio sold was bottles of water. They only sold coconut water and recommended that I go across the way to Starbucks but because I didn't have much time before class started, I opted for the coconut water. I'll definitely be back! read more

I am in love with Bikram Yoga Vancouver. I started here with a Groupon, but have signed up to extend my membership. I've done Bikram Yoga off and on for years, and this studio is one of the nicest I've seen. The studio is roomy, attractive, and clean (mopped in between each class), and the changing rooms are humongous and have multiple private shower stalls. They provide a rack to hang and clean your mat (they even provide the cleaning solution, so you don't have to buy your own). It's all quite luxurious compared to other studios I've attended. I also really enjoy the people here. The other yogis are a nice, diverse, non-judgmental group of people, and the instructors and staff are extremely helpful. They make an effort to know the name of each person who attends, so they can address you by name (both to correct you and encourage you). I've been pleasantly pleased by how much I'm enjoying my time with Bikram Yoga Vancouver, and I couldn't recommend them highly enough. read more

This studio has everything that you are looking for. 1. A clean, spacious studio 2. A variety of different instructors that all offer something unique to your practice 3. Clean changes rooms 4. Welcoming and encouraging front line staff. 5. They validate parking The hardest part of Hot Yoga is getting yourself there. Once you are there... Let the staff there guide you to a great work out. Stephanie has been incredibly inspiring. She knew that my girlfriend and I were new and had our names memorized prior to class starting. She has been honest and generous with her time both in class correcting poses and after class motivating us to come back. Thank you Stephanie for your encouragement & support to our practice. read more

We decided we wanted to try hot yoga this year and we came to the right place. Our first class was amazing, our instructor Stephanie knew it was our first day and encouraged us through out the class, addressed us by our names and just overall led a very positive and relaxing class. We have been back a few times and every instructor has been great, they all have there own teaching technique but every class I feel like I pick up something new. The facility itself is always clean, lots of space to practice yoga, parking is free, and staff is amazing. We love it! Ron & Bin read more

This studio and their staff are amazing. They've taken great care for Covid, and have made me feel safe and ready to go back and do indoor exercise. Spaces have been marked through the studio and in the yoga room for physical distancing. Also happy to support a local vancouver studio during these times. read more

Friendly staff and spacious studio. I am new to Hot Yoga and the instructors have all been very helpful with me. Great, convenient location with a bright, airy feel to the building. read more

Did my first ever hot yoga class here with a friend who is a member. Really good instructor, and distraction-free setting. No unnecessary noise, odours or decorations. Too bad it's so far from home. read more

WOW was it ever hot in here. Ok, I am not reviewing the heat because that is the yoga itself. I am however upset that the instructors don't really take the time to explain the movements and what not to do unless you want to get injured, I guess this is because they have way way way to much people in every class, just saying if your going to have a group class, packing everyone in is not the best idea! read more

For all those who can't use the Groupon or those who believe that justice can be served by the netizens of Vancouver, please read further. These two words describe Bikram Yoga Vancouver's regional manager - Swindling Dictatress - and here's exactly why. A few of my friends decided to purchase one of the 1000+ sold Groupons for 10 classes of Bikram Yoga. Like mentioned we all decided to show up ahead of time to sign up for the first class. I talked to the admin, she pulled up my profile and it said I took a sample class 11 months ago. Having already read the fine print, which stated "Not valid for customers who have taken classes in the past 12 months or customers who previously purchased Groupon", I interpreted the clause as if I had taken two or more classes or if I had purchased regular/promotional classes before, then I wouldn't be eligible. Well the manager outright refused us entry into the class, even though we came prepared, were on-time and several of us were in the same boat as me who wanting to go to this class together. If they wanted to be legally technical, "classes" is plural and I took one class. My interpretation happened to be different from hers. Next, they use blanket statements which cover all "classes" and all "Groupons". She said this covers all classes from all Vancouver Bikrams. She told me that I shouldn't feel so bad, because she already rejected a few people yesterday for the same reason. Great, I now know that she is a serial pain-in-the-ass. The fact that she didn't bend, mind the pun, just made us frustrated. I hate dealing with people like this. "Dictatress". She gave me an ultimatum. Either exchange your 10 classes in 6 months for a 1 month All-you-can-yoga pass now, or use the $39 you paid towards an expensive regular price package. First, I bought the 10 pass for a reason. Second, can you imagine any business that would take your money and then only give it back if you spent 10 times more? WTF. I wouldn't feel bad for them either. 1000+ Groupons x $39 each x 50% take-home Groupon rate = nearly $20,000 in profit. They already paid for the space and instructors. This dilutes the experience for people who paid full price, as they get less space and zen. So who is to blame? From personal experience, Groupon allows you to limit the number of Groupons sold. They obviously didn't mind 1000+ more students, as long as they dictated and cheated the many who didn't interpret the fine print the same. "Swindling". - If you believe in Karma as much as you believe in Yoga... - If you believe advertising should be unambiguous... - If you were one of the Groupon people who the manager claimed to have turned away... - If you feel that Social Media makes a difference and people shouldn't be bullied by companies that care about profit more than their paying customers... Please write your own review, or vote that you found this review "Useful". It makes a difference. read more

i was introduced to bikram yoga four years ago and it changed my life in all aspects. i used to struggle with chronic lower back pain and high levels of work related stress. i was unable to touch my toes. it was bad... the first class was beyond challenging. in fact, i unexpectedly started crying during the floor series. i finished the class feeling defeated. however, i woke up the next day feeling better. it was an incredible feeling, so, i started practicing regularly... the benefits of bikram yoga went further then my back pain. soon, my stress levels started to melt away or should i say sweated away... as a new student, i didn't fully understand the practice or discipline needed to go somewhere new within in myself. the teacher's were honest, tough but COMPASSIONATE. they pushed and encouraged me. four years later, i'm grateful for their dedication to the yoga and my practice... recently, i read an unfair review on michelle d. my heart sunk because she was the one who introduce me to the practice. she recognized that i needed help and put her hand out. i owe her everything. she changed my life for the better. i would take her class 2-3 times a weeks because she pushed me to go somewhere new. i'm forever grateful for her... please take her class and judge for yourself. she's an amazing teacher and doesn't deserve this one sided personal attack... read more

Unpleasant staff. Didn't really seem to understand the spirit of yoga. Too commercial and very pretentious. They also bashed the Bikram Yoga studio on commercial, which was very rude of them. read more

Bought a Groupon, followed the instructions to pre-register and come to the facility 20 min early to check in. When I got there to verify my registration, after looking at my Texas ID, the clerk told me that the Groupon is valid only for locals as its meant for return business etc. and that it was in the fine print. I explained that I live there 2-3 months out of the year (I am a Canadian with elder parents here) and he still affirmed that it was not still valid and offered me the $120/mo unlimited pass, I took a look around (no one was there) and passed up on the "offer" as I really wasn't feeling it. He told me to get a refund from Groupon. I felt kinda peculiar about the situation and I gave him the benefit of the doubt, as I may have overlooked the "locals only" fine print. WELL went home to check and I didn't see such a thing and got a refund. I will never return to this business in my future visits back HOME. At least, he lied politely...in the elitist/discriminatory kinda way. read more

Certainly those who subscribe to the Bikram method of doing the same 26 asanas are very passionate about their practice. This studio is in a nice location, but there are definitely improvements that could and should be made. 80 student capacity: They say the studio capacity is 80 students. I'm not sure what the official Bikram rules are from HQ, or if there are any commercial building/fire safety rules, but 80 is WAY TOO MUCH. Even when the class is not at capacity, anything over 45-50 students leads to approx 12 inches between mats. 80 was purely a number calculated to maximize profits, which I understand from a bottom-line point of view. As an attendee, it basically means during a busy class you won't be able to see yourself in the mirror, and you'll likely be touching your neighbour. This also means that the studio gets incredibly smelly when there's SO many people. There have been times when I've almost gagged at the BO/lack-of-washing smells. I understand that people will sweat and there will be some odour, but some people are plain foul-smelling (especially those who don't have the courtesy to shower b/c they're just going to sweat anyways). Yoga etiquette not observed: Since this studio is centrally located there is a mix of people who come here. There is also a fair number of rude students with "westside" attitudes. I have witnessed aggressive behaviour in the change room and silence is not necessarily observed . The worst is when people throw down their mats directly inline with yours so you can't see yourself in the mirror. The staff don't seem to ever comment on this (with the exception of Jacob L, who doesn't seem to teach there anymore). For people reading this review, if you are going to stand in the front or middle row of the class, please for the love of Bikram, be kind to your fellow students at the back of the room. These people are usually beginners and need to see themselves too. Usually a simple move 6 inches to the right or left will leave everyone in a happy situation. Another pet peeve is that people from the next class will "rush" to get their spots. In doing so, they oftentimes disrupt post-class shavasana. They will loudly thrown mats down and I've even seen on few occasions, people asking students who are finishing off if they can hurry up and pack up and leave. This is really not cool. The studio should mention to new students to (1) observe silence, (2) not place their mats directly infront of other students and (3) generally be mindful of those around them. Teachers should also be a little more helpful so everyone can see themselves in the mirror. Especially since they always talk of the importance of being able to use the mirror as a tool. This is most helpful for those newbies that are at the back of the room and learning/improving. Cleanliness: Between each class there is a someone dispatched into the studio with a microfibre mop to mop up sweat/water on the floor. While this great to rid the floor of moisture, I'm not sure what is being done to kill off germs. This is especially concerning if one is attending the classes later in the day. Has 5,6 or even 7 classes gone by without the floor being disinfected? I've also noticed dried liquid (handprints, sweatmarks, etc.) on the mirrored wall/doors for days. They're often there for a few days which makes me wonder how thorough the cleaning is. Little things: The 25 cent lockers (free in some other locations) seem like another cash grab. The classes here are the most expensive for any Bikram's classes in the Lower Mainland. You'd think that they could offer lockers for free since its done in other locations. They also used to offer mat spray for students but have also taken this away. It's a little thing, but it's appreciated by all. I guess if I had to sum it up, the teachers here are generally pretty good. The studio is most of the time, overcrowded and smelly. You'll pay more to come here, so if you're looking to do Bikrams, and can hit up another location, that might be a better bet. read more

April 12, 2014 at 9:11 pm I am appalled at Bikram Vancouver. They were selling long term passes to all 3 studios right up until the last minute. I was away and found out about the West End closure only 1 day prior thanks to no notification received from Bikram Vancouver. I showed up for practice and read the memo posted In the studio. As far as I'm concerned this is very poor business practice.This is not a company to be applauded and definitely not trusted. will Cambie remain open? think long and hard about purchasing any type of long term memberships with this company. Beware. read more

Best hot yoga studio in Vancouver and I like that they stay true to the Bikram style yet offer 1 hour, 90 minute and even 75 minute classes now. Dan's Saturday classes make my weekend complete and the positive attitude of the teachers and front desk team is infectious. Highly recommend - and love the fact the change room facilities are so well kitted out (hairdryers and plenty of lockers) read more

The total idea of bikram yoga is very good and beneficial. Unfortunately I was treated the way I expected from a Yoga studio. I have been to Semperviva, YYoga and maybe I have been spoiled by them treating me very nicely and my expectations have increased. However, I wanted to try out Bikram and bought the Groupon 10 session for 49.99 or sth like that. I started using it, but after two sessions I got involved in a series of deadlines. One evening, I got a call from them that your 8 sessions will be expired tomorrow! The lady offered me to pay $30 to extend the expiry date for one month. I asked for a free extension to whatever number of classes possible, which was rejected. It would be nice to give an advance notice to the clients, an automatic email reminder or sth about expiry dates. It will show that we are more interested that you use your sessiona nd get to know us, rathre than yeeey, we are happy we got your money and you couldn't use it! Finally I ended up paying more than drop-in rate for two classes I took and I am very unhappy about it. read more

I really enjoy going to Bikrams, mainly the Cambie Studio but also Kits on occasions. The staff are always friendly, helpful and happy. The place is always super clean too which is great - can't be easy with that many students! I would also like to say that Danny is an amazing teacher - his classes are a pleasure to attend and I love the fact that he cares so much about everyone getting their postures right and getting the most benefit from attending. He also always is smiling and positive which is awesome. So thanks to everyone at Bikrams read more

I work nearby so I've tried many of the yoga and fitness studios in the area and this one is at the top of my list. The instructors and staff are all welcoming, they make a point to remember everyone's name and are engaging during class. The studio itself is clean and has everything you need and you can add towel and mat service for a nominal fee. They have classes all day long and on top of their 60min and 90 minu hot yoga classes they recently added hot pilates, a 60 minute HIIT class. It's a fun, upbeat and challenging class. It's a nice way to mix up my weekly routine. I always feel refreshed (and sweaty) after any class and will definitely keep going!! read more

I just did the Inferno Hot Pilates class and it kicked my butt! The instructor was friendly and motivating throughout the class. It was INTENSE, but a lot of fun. Clean studio, very friendly staff, and showers for after class. I'll definitely be coming back for this class! Thanks! read more

Facilities are clean, simple, but poorly designed. There is absolutely no space to move/change in between classes. Why are there large circular furniture in the middle of the change room?? It serves no purpose and takes up so much space that moving around is incredibly hard. Stupid. Impractical. I must have been knocked on the head a half dozen times by other patrons before I even got my gear on. I took a Thursday afternoon class with Michelle D. I might have otherwise given Bikram Cambie a 3/5 but Michelle is just plain mean. In the middle of class, she actually called a gentleman out for doing "random poses". She stopped teaching and did a little 3 minute rant about how she wanted him to "actually try"- not to do "random movements" as she called it. (He was struggling with holding some postures) A little EMPATHY would have gone a long way here. This gentleman was on the larger side, and at this point very sweaty. He was TRYING HIS BEST and to mock him over the microphone in front of 50 other patrons is just awful. I wish it ended here but she went on to even question why he bothered to come, leaving the poor guy repeating "i'm sorry, i'm sorry" meekly while the rest of us watched in horror. Completely unprofessional, disruptive, and awkward. Like other reviewers, I have been to other yoga studios (YYoga, Moksha, several others in Ontario) and Bikram is by far the most abrasive, frustrating, and money-hungry of the lot. The yoga itself... not challenging if you've done hot yoga before. Yoga has always been a mentally refreshing, physically invigorating experience for me. However, I don't even know if I will finish all of my 10 class punch card because this experience with Michelle really put me off Bikram Cambie. If you're looking to get berated publicly for being out of shape or inflexible Bikram with Michelle D is the place to be. Otherwise, spend your hard earned dollars elsewhere. read more

Horrible business practices. Do not EVER pre pay for this service, if anything ever happens they will not refund a single cent, even when it's completely their fault. most recently they closed a studio and refused to refund memberships that were pre-paid. Contracts include clauses if a member moves, however when a studio closed down they could care less how that effects their customers. Once they have your money you'll never get it back, no matter what, and they'll rudely say this to your face. This attitude comes directly from the CEO of the company! STAY AWAY! HORRIBLE!! YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WARNED! read more
