It was good. Met my expectations. Worth checking out. Id give it 5 stars if it was a bit cheaper. $35-$40 a class is more expensive than just going to a regular gym. But it's nice to have a guided routine every once and a while. Might not go back just because I can do yoga at home for free and find anytime fitness to be better value for what you get. Everyone that worked here was very nice. I learned a couple new stretchs. Overall good vibes. I enjoyed the class and would always recommend a good workout which is what I this is. read more

I am updating my review. This yoga studio deserves +1 star. Since last quarter of 2016, I have seen gradual improvement in facilities. The reception area is nice and clean. The yoga room temperature is pretty consistent and the ceiling has been painted white. What a difference! They also made some nice improvement to the back wall. There is no change to the yogis and staff. They are the friendliest people and the yogis are approachable. Keep up the good work you guys. read more

After being away for over a year, there's been so many changes, and all for the better! It's no longer "Bikram" yoga, but now "Orijin" which has expanded to include so much more than just yoga. I was really interested in the HIIT classes and am loving them! Each of the instructors have their unique way of running the class which provides for variety. Having done a lot of other fitness classes in other facilities, I was surprised that you can do HIIT exercises all while standing/moving over your yoga mat! So leave your running shoes at home when you come here. All the instructors are friendly and helpful. They will help correct you or provide modifications if you can't do a certain exercise. I'm having knee and hip problems, so I am able to modify everything so that there is no impact. There's also Flow and Yin classes, as well as Pilates which I am hoping to try if my schedule allows for it. They have Hot yoga for 60 or 90 minutes. The strengthening classes are an excellent addition to round out the classes offered here. Linda is the new owner and she has been so welcoming, friendly, and informative. Love how innovative she has been in transforming this place into what it is now; so forward thinking! Everyone who comes here and teaches here are passionate about what they do. The only thing I can think of to improve is to change the name from Orijin Yoga to Orijin Yoga and Fitness so that people realize it's not just a yoga studio. read more

Orijin Yoga - Clean, hot, yoga room! - Yoga Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

See all

Despite the nice yoga studio, I'm not sure I enjoyed the hot yoga class much. Price (4/5): Groupon (5 classes in a month) - $27. Class Pass - 5 credits. It was extremely affordable for me through groupon and average for class pass. Facilities/Location (5/5): The facilities are nice, clean, and quite small. I liked how it was located near my house and has a good amount of FREE parking. Class (2/5): I tried the Hot 60 class and this was where the experience fell short for me. I thought that the room was blasting above average hot yoga room temperatures and felt like fainting part way through the experience despite being hydrated. The class dragged on and on and it felt like it was never going to end. By the end of the class, I did not like how we kept transitioning from facing the front of the room to facing the back of the room at least five times and getting into savasana in between each time - seemed like a tease. Overall, I would like to try some of their other classes to see whether I have a better experience as the location is prime and convenient for me to get to. read more

I've been going to Orijin Yoga for the past 6 months and I have been loving every moment of it! Let me start with all the pros: 1) great and flexible hours: I work a 9-5 job and I am always able to squeeze in a class! They got classes from 6:30 am to 8:30 pm 2) staff: friendly and educational staff that are always open to help. I personally have never done yoga prior to this and all the instructors have been amazing guiding me through every class. Not intimidating at all! The owner Linda also offers a lot of classes as well and she's always really motivating! 3) class variations: hot yoga, HIIT, Pilates and Yin massage yoga. Depending on how my body is feeling that day I can always try different classes! Ex, if my body is sore I go to Yin (hallie is amazing) , if I'm feeling challenged I would do a HIIT + hot yoga class :) 4) free parking + free lockers!!!!! The studio is always nice and large compare to other studios near by I would highly recommend to try out this studio. I've been bring all my friends and family and they are all now hooked! - Tiffany Chen read more

This place is definitely not the place it was 8 years ago. You can take: HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training which is basically cardio), PyroPilates (HIIT/Pilates hybrid), Flow (breathing/moving in sync), Yin (pose and hold), and 60 min (this is new and way better IMO) or 90 min Hot (Bikram)- 7 days a week! I re-joined Orijin in mid November and I loved it so much I came back the very next day and even brought my sister with me. We have been coming back together ever since! I love all of the instructors! Roxana has been teaching Hot Yoga here for years and she's great. Michael will make you sweat your butt off with HIIT and Marcus is fabulous for Flow. But it was Anh's incredible story that encouraged me to continue yoga. There are volunteering opportunities to bring down your monthly membership price which is great for students! Linda is an absolute gem, she even waived the drop in fee for me for a couple of classes in between renewing my membership. Overall, great vibes at Orijin. I highly recommend coming here if you want to feel and look good every day! read more

I was visiting family in town and decided to do a drop in at Orijin. They have two studios here. Roxana led the class, she was very encouraging, positive, and gave great instruction. Basically everything you want in a yoga instructor. The heat of the room was definitely the toughest part for me. If that's a thing you might struggle with in the beginning, she suggested picking a spot closer to the door as it's slightly cooler there. I was told that in the coming months they would be introducing other forms of yoga as well, other than bikram. I'd probably visit again if I was in the area! The locker rooms are pretty clean. You do need to insert a quarter to use the locker - but it gets refunded from the machine automatically and you get the key. read more

Great yoga studio!! Heart felt teachers. Really nice faculty recently refurbished. Highly recommended.

Hands down, the best Bikram's studio in the Vancouver area. Clean, great staff and teachers, DRY (this is important!) and not smelly at all (also really important!) I love that there are two rooms (the smaller of the two has a beautiful view of the mountains) so that the classes are staggered one per hour rather than every two hours like other local studios. Most importantly, there are ample showers, hair dryers and fitting room space for all. This studio is about 50% more expensive than Kits/Downtown, but it is way less crowded and a much more pleasant experience - and trust me, after 90 minutes in the torture chamber you will appreciate the small comforts in life! :) read more

Great neighbourhood studio. I first came here when I was in high school and I went back to the studio last year and loved the changes to the studio space and class types. read more

I was looking forward to doing a yoga class in Vancouver I have one word "DISAPPOINTED" it was probably the worst yoga class I've ever taken. The class was so boring and the locker rooms weren't as clean. They don't play music. I thought yoga classes are supposedly help me relax and decompress. read more

Great studio! I used to go here over 2 years ago. Came back end of December 2018 and the changes look amazing. The studio looks more spacious and there are more class options. Love the 60 min hot yoga, definitely easier to fit into my busy schedule than the 90 min one! read more

I've been practicing yoga at BYM for more than 2 years and continue to be impressed by the quality of the staff! Anyone can feel welcome here, regardless of ability, and they really take the time to get to know their fellow yogis. Everyone who works here openly shares their enthusiasm for this yoga and the amazing impact it can have on both your mental and physical well-being. The encouragement I receive is not at all competitive in nature, but focused on helping me do MY best, whatever it may be for that particular day and I really love that attitude! A tough day melts away when you walk out of the room...way to go BYM! read more

The last time I went to this place, they had carpeted floors. Anyone who does bikrams knows that you become a sweat-expelling machine, and I don't even want to think about all the collective sweat. Ew. I've successfully grossed myself out for the day. (I know, I know; the carpet is the "proper" Bikram way, but still. PASS.) The teachers were fine and the price was fine, but those damn carpeted floors!! PASS. read more

The style of Bikram is so different than CorePower, which is the first hot yoga studio that I got into. Focused a lot on breathing and less of a vinyassa movement. The studio room is very spacious, however I do think the shower facilities can be improved with more shower heads and personal spaces. The instructor is professional and communicative. read more

Bikram's Yoga is not for the faint of heart. Be well-hydrated and if it's your first time (or you haven't gone in awhile), be prepared to feel dizzy and/or nauseous! Why I love this studio as opposed to others: - The instructors are awesome! I haven't had a bad class yet. The instructors pace the class appropriately and give tips (personal and generic) on how to better achieve the poses. They strike the right balance between pushing the class so it's not too easy nor too challenging. Brad (the owner) has great classes if you're looking for an instructor that will give you personal corrections on poses. - The bathrooms are very spacious. For claustrophobic me, this is an impt point. I love that they didn't scrimp on bathroom space like some studios. The bathrooms are quite clean for the amount of people who use them, with free body soap and hairdryers. Lots of mirror space and just space in general to sit after class while waiting for a shower without bumping into your neighbor. I found some studios make it difficult to change in because of the lack of space, but not at this location! - The reception staff are always friendly and encouraging. There's this easy, laid-back, trusting attitude among all the staff. There's been more than once when I ran out of classes but they let me finish my class before approaching me to let me know I need to buy more classes. - They have 2 studio rooms for yoga, so they have classes every hour for peak times. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 12:15 class because they have it in the smaller studio, which has all these open windows that have a great view of the mountains. Doing yoga when the sunshine streams in with the mountains in the background = pure bliss :) - The students themselves are a good blend of everything - beginner, experts, and everything inbetween. It's a very heterogenous population so no one feels like they stick out, imho. There are older mom types, young 20-somethings, men, women, fit peeps and not-so-fit peeps, flexible and bendy peeps who can do a total backwards bend and people who can't touch their toes. I like how everyone is very into the yoga there and not looking at other people in the class as it makes me able to focus on my yoga while wearing minimal clothing :) I think the studio is clean and the decor is functional, but it is a studio that is 5 yrs old. One of my friends who is sensitive to smell says it has a slight odor, but it's never bothered me. If it's your first time, I think they have a 2 classes for $25 deal. Be sure to read their tips for first timers as well on their homepage, www.bikramsyogametrotown.com! Namaste, peeps! :D read more

I've been going here for years and love it ! Cant go a week without going to class at least twice. My only complaint is the studio needs a bit of an upgrade. Maybe some fresh paint, carpet , individual bath stalls would also be nice. Just weird to shower with 3 other people talking to you. i just want to shower and get out. I've gone to YYoga and love the look of the studio and the different options you have in types of yoga, but Bikrams is closer to my place in Burnaby. Pricing I notice is also a bit more than the other bikrams locations. You DONT want to take Brads class (the owner) He makes it feel more like a bootcamp then a hot yoga class. I feel great taking this class. Recommend this for anyone looking for weight loss, management, better sleeps and health :) read more

Lots of updates and new energy. New floors, new infrared panels, new colours, new services, and lots of new students to learn from the best teachers around. Welcoming and friendly. Plus the newly renovated Heaven room will open in October. Arrive early to get your favourite spot as it is a popular place! read more

I had an overall unpleasant experience with the staff at this location. They were rude, condescending, and yelled at some people in the class. I was shocked to see that. Very unprofessional and discouraging. I would definitely not venture in if you are looking for a positive atmosphere and support. read more

After stop couple years doing bikram yoga , i got a good chance to restart with a great studio near metro town, i was very impressive by the instructor name Jozenia who led the class with very positive , encourageing and professinal way, everytime i felt the incrediable enengy from my body when i had class with her, It's amazing! I really recomend everyone try her class, maybe you will develope the enthusiasm of hot yoga. Of course this studio provided good , clean heating room and friendly staff as well. read more

Overall, I have had a really good experience at this studio. I have been going for about a year, and have really noticed a change in my body. My only complaint is that there seems to be fewer experienced teachers on the schedule now than when I first started coming. I understand that all teachers have to start as beginners, but it would be nice to have more classes, especially during the peak evening times, with more experienced teachers. read more

I started bikrams in 2004, on a casual basis. I live in the neighbourhood of bikram's yoga metrotown and started to attend again. Over time, I appreciate this type of yoga more and more. I lost a significant amount of weight doing bikram's.... but that is just the tip of the iceberg of how good this has been for my body and mind. I recommend this studio to anyone. read more

Tried their night class at Metrotown location. The place stank from the entrance to the classroom(feet,sweat,shoes...). Nobody cleaned the classroom after the previous session. The classroom was not very big and It was very crowded. I rented their mat and towel.The towel was smelly as well. I went with a friend who had hot yoga class before at a different place. He said the other place was much cleaner and was not smelly at all. He said the staff would clean the floor right after each session. It is a bad experience for him as well. we are not going back. read more

I loved the result of Bikram but my body was not able to tolerate the heat. Two weeks into the trial period, it was my 8th class, my whole body felt numbed. As soon as the class ended I followed the instructor and told her about this. She asked me to lay down at the door mat and gave me a can of coconut juice. I took a sip and lay down. A moment later she came back and asked me to keep drinking but I was barely able to move or talk. It felt like having a stroke but without chest pain. My fingers and my face were twisting. The instructor lifted me up and gave me a straw to sip the juice which I was able to do slowly. She put me down and asked for help to put me on a "recovery position", then back on my back and asked to put my feet over a hamper. She did that a couple of times and also gave me some tablets which dissolved in my mouth and "Vitamin C". About 45 mins to 1 hour later, my body started going back to normal. The instructor told me that it had to do with electrolytes imbalance. She had experienced this with another student before so she knows what she needed to do which is good. She followed up with an email with links to website about vitamins and what she used to revive me. What I wasn't impressed about was that my stuff was removed from the Yoga room, they handed me my glasses and locker key but my mat and towel. That day I used my new yoga mat and my Roots towel. I was able to retrieve my new Yoga mat in their laundry/sanitation room. I tried to go through the used towels to find my towel (gross) but it must have been put into the wash. I called the next day to ask if they had found it but I was given an it would be hard to find that I should just come and look. How many Roots brand towels they have I wonder? Anyway I decided not to get it as most likely its been used by others. Before you consider Bikram, you must take it upon yourself to know what your body might need. You must ask as otherwise you will not be told. I find it the hard way that I need to drink sports drinks before taking Bikram. I'm not a kind who drinks this stuff. There are alternatives but like I said, you must educate yourself as they will not tell you. All they say is to hydrate yourself which I did but it wasn't enough. Overall I like the studio, the instructors will make you work hard, and the staff are friendly. They could however spend more time educating first timers. Maybe I didn't have the right instructor but out of 7 instructors, none mentioned about the importance of electrolytes. Out of fear, I will take regular Yoga instead. read more

The staff at the studio wasn't overly welcoming. Did not show me around the studio. The carpet was smelly and has left a big rash on my feet and it was 5 or 6 days ago I was there. read more
