Each session has brought relief that I can build off of, progressing toward that open flexibility that is my continuing goal. Christine's experience in Sweet yoga, and her personal attention with her students and clients, is priceless!

Six or seven years ago, I embarked on my yoga journey by way of Bikram, and was hooked. Although my…read morecurrent home studio isn't a Bikram studio, I've had the good fortune of practicing at studios from the East to the West coasts with many excellent instructors and varying degrees of studio amenities. I don't mind a stripped-down space, sweat-perfumed carpet, or a hot room, and was happy on a recent conference visit to discover that the best-looking yoga studio in Corvallis just happened to be a Bikram studio. Classes are offered at standard times during the week (a couple in the morning and a couple at night, with a modified weekend schedule). The room itself is larger than others I've practiced in, with nicely marked lines and plenty of mirror space. The instructor sits elevated, the better to see you! There is a small changing room with a bathroom and (I think) just one shower stall, so efficiency is key before and after class. The instructor was quite friendly on my check-in...but once class started, things switched up a little, in a way that left me with a slightly negative impression (at least of this particular instructor in this particular class). I've always heard stories of Bikram instructors who encourage students to work to the point of pain (not simply discomfort, but actual pain in sensitive places like the lower back, the neck, the knees, and the hamstrings), but I'd been fortunate to never encounter one in all my years of practice. Until now. This instructor shouted to "Lock your knees!" and "Feel the pain!" more times than I can count, and publicly questioned people who were making modifications that their body might have required. As a more experienced yogi, I know that instructors should challenge their students to work hard and push boundaries, so I'm open to tough love (and I did work hard!). But at the same time, as someone who has experienced knee/hamstring/lower back injuries over the years, I've educated myself enough on physiology to know that some asanas are not mindful nor respectful of the body given certain conditions. Not once did I hear any mention, as part of the dialogue, for people to listen to their bodies and modify if needed. That, to me, is problematic as it's a recipe for injury for students who are either new, or worried about defying the barked commands of an instructor, or both. Since I don't know the studio well, the instructor may have been encouraging, in their own way, students they were familiar with. But there were at least two new students in the class, and it concerns me that there wasn't therefore more attention to mindfulness instead of to full expressions of poses. Hopefully this is idiosyncratic to the particular instructor, and not a part of the studio's general ethos, as it's a nice spot and I'm glad to see a Bikram studio thriving in a town that doesn't really have any other hot yoga options. Go, but listen to your body first, and only then listen to the instructor.

Sweat your balls off in a good way…read more I dig this little Bikram yoga joint in Corvallis. As a general newcomer to Bikram's ( I dabbled in hatha in college) I am always a little awkward and sweating an ass ton at Bikram's. Nobody seemed to care in this studio and the instructor was firm yet encouraging in helping me figure out the poses. Best believe I wanted to get my savasana on for like 8 hours after class. I was sore, sore, sore. But did I feel better than everyone else as I hit the cookies for a second round? You betcha. Place smells a little funny. Demographic is blend of hard bodied 20 somethings and lesser caring 50 somethings. It's a fun place to be if you can handle the heat and the kind of militant yoga instruction.

The only reason why I say decent is because of the lack of top rope options, but great for bouldering and other exercise options. The prices are unbeatable when compared to any other climbing gym. I've climbed in a few states and the price of the partners membership is just slightly more than the cost of a single member in certain gyms. Facility is always clean. They reset routes often. Staff are friendly and helpful. Even at the busiest moments you can still get on the wall. Haven't tried any of the classes yet so that's my next to try. Overall highly recommend at least a visit!
