Totally blown away by YEA! I am an absolute beginner, I'm in my 50s, and am not naturally flexible at all. I've heard great things about Bikram Yoga, and I know I love heat (love saunas), though I've never exercised in that kind of heat before. I signed up for the new student special, and after taking six classes, I've already signed up for the unlimited package going forward. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about this studio and the people who bring it to life! In order of appearance, these are the instructors I've had the great privilege of learning from so far: Tessa, Devan, Michael, Alexandra, and Jamie. And I can honestly say they are each and every one PHENOMENAL: incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, helpful, attentive, talented, and passionate about this practice and sharing it with their students. I've picked up new pearls of wisdom from each of them, at each class. I am sure that all the teachers at the studio are fabulous, even those I haven't met yet, because that is clearly how they roll at YEA: excellence in all they do. (Thank you, thank you!) Although so far the only move I can do as it's intended is corpse pose (ha, but really), but just trying the poses is already making me feel different, body and mind (in a good way!). I appreciated that the website explained that we don't need to be "in shape" or flexible to start this practice-- that's what inspired me to try, knowing that the trying is the thing. I am confident that if I keep showing up with an earnest heart and mind, I will become more flexible, and I will improve my balance and my overall fitness level as well. Even after just one week, I'm making healthier eating choices in what feels like a natural way... I don't feel like I have to summon a will of steel to turn down junk food like I typically would. After sweating and stretching for 90 mins, my body wants clean food and lots of water, so I'm able to curb my sugar habit without feeling deprived. My body feels better, my mood is improved (I feel more peaceful and less anxious/ruminative), and I'm even sleeping better. The whole thing is actually kind of mind-blowing to me! In addition to the wonderful humans who work here (and Tillie, the super sweet doggie ambassador who is often there to greet me when I walk in), the studio itself is fantastic: clean and comfortable and welcoming, with lots of natural light. And as if all that's not enough: there is absolutely *stunning* artwork on display. Alexandra is the resident artist, and I'm in awe of her talent. (If my hubs is reading this: hint for my 55th birthday, please: Alexandra's art is for sale. Hint, hint.) If you're a newbie like me (or even if you're an accomplished yogi), you can't find a better yoga home than YEA. You'll be challenged and supported in the very best ways. YAY for YEA!! :-D read more

I've been in Austin and practicing Bikram for years, but after a injury/life hiatus, I went for my first class at this studio today and was totally blown away! The classroom was bright, clean, and lovely, with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out on a shady row of live oak trees. (The next best thing to practicing yoga in a tree house!) The vibe was relaxed and encouraging and the students were diverse in age and level of practice. The teacher (Gabriel) was one of the best I've encountered in Bikram--insightful, attentive, not dogmatic. I left feeling awesome and can't wait to go back! I am so happy to have found my new Bikram home in Austin. read more

I've lived in many different cities where I've regularly attended bikram yoga studios. This one is by far my favorite. The instructors are all terrific -- kind, professional, friendly, centered people. The studio itself is clean, calming, and beautiful. There are all sorts of types of yoga classes offered and I haven't had a bad (or even mediocre) experience in over a year of attending a variety of classes. I'm really grateful this yoga studio exists and would recommend it to anyone. read more

Great environment for reflection and meditation. Recommend the Bik 60 classes- especially the silent. Don't miss out on this transformation.

Yoga East Side is an amazing place to get Zen, get fit and get connected not only with yourself but with the  yoga community. Gabriel , Alexandra , Tessa  and all the instructors are fantastic : professional, embracing, knowledgeable & supportive - the staff is smart and fun.  I really cannot say enough positive things about my experience at this studio . The greeting I received when I went to the studio was warm and inclusive ; and they always helped me get set up . The entrance faces the street , but the studio opens up to full length mirrors and windows - looking out to a shaded courtyard with trees.   Practice always starts on time , with easy quick touchpad check-in - newbie friendly.  The classes are unique , and  challenging ; but all very strongly based in beautifully guided positioning and breathing. The unifying factor is how this studio presents yoga , the focus is not just physical positioning , but a dive into filling yourself with breath , purpose , centeredness , calm and strength. After the 3 week introduction package you will be hooked . Seriously - seriously go check out the classes , every single instructor is wonderful ( which seems impossible but true. ). Yoga East Austin is an undiscovered combination of true cultural respect , theory , physical challenge, encouragement and magic. read more

Visiting a new yoga studio as a drop-in guest is always an unexpected adventure. But here, in the Mueller Tower district of East Austin, that is especially the case, both for what is happening inside the studio and out. Outside, a new neighborhood is emerging from the ground at a starling pace from the remains of the old Austin Municipal airport, which has since relocated to the former Bergstrom Air Force base SE of the city. Regardless of your views on urban redevelopment, this area is amazing to witness: rows and rows of new model homes and apartments, parks and open spaces designed to protect native Texan prairie habit, and new shops and retail providing to the influx of new residents. This is one of the most elaborate PUDs (Planned Urban Developments) I have ever experienced. I was left dazed, confused, and slightly disoriented - and that was even before the intense yoga session that was to come! All that remains of the old airport is the historic control tower, which you can use as a handy orientation point to locate the Bikram studio itself, which is housed on the ground floor of an attractive apartment complex about a block away from the tower. Nearby is a nice park for walking and jogging, and there is plenty of free street parking next to the studio for dozens of cars. While primarily a spot for practicing classical 90-minute Bikram hot yoga, the ueber-talented teachers here are totally committed yoga nerds who also experiment widely with Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Rocket yoga sequences. In addition, they host numerous visiting instructors, many of whom are award-winning yogins with decades of prior experience, to run day-long workshops and other special events, like Bikram yoga in Spanish and progressive variations on the conventional 26 postures + 2 breathing exercises. In short, there is a lot of interesting, challenging, and fun stuff happening here, and you'll want to check it out if you're in town and love a good yoga workout. I somewhat foolishly dropped in on a day that a special teacher was offering a 2-hour long Rocket 3 class. The only other students attending were themselves all yoga teachers in their own rights, so I was clearly the oddball in the bunch, but fortunately, it didn't really matter. I followed as best as I could and backed away wisely from the most difficult postures. Still, it was horizon-widening and exhaustively enjoyable in a way that all good yoga practices are, and the instructor, Gil, was super patient and inclusive in his instruction. I came away with huge respect for the class and the studio and learned a few new things to take with me when I returned home to my normal Bikram studio. Had it not been for Bikram Yoga East Austin, I never in a million years would have ventured this far into the exurban wilderness. And that would have been a real loss, because yoga, like life, is about mindful awareness of the world around you - not the world you imagine, but the world as it exists in dynamic realtime. Thanks to the staff and student-teachers here for making me feel welcome on my first visit! read more

Yoga East - Rocket Yoga Training with David Kyle! - Yoga Near Me - Austin, Texas

Amazing. I was urged to go to a class with a friend and I'm totally hooked. Having been to a few studios in town, I'm voting this one the best! Yoga East Austin is professional, but not stuffy. Relaxed, but not "too-relaxed". There's convenient parking right outside of the studio and a protected bike lane to get there. I love that they offer heated and not-heated classes. They even offer a one-hour Bikram class which is such a blessing for those days you don't have time for the full 90 mins. They have a Berkey water filter in the lobby. There are people of all different ages and body types that come here. All of the teachers have been very kind and personable. They even ask you if you need anything when you check in. The crystals in the room are such a beautiful, personal touch. This place is clearly about wellness and you feel it when you walk in. Do yourself a favor and check it out, I'm sure glad I did! read more

I love this place. Gabriel, the owner, is friendly, peaceful, welcoming, and accommodating. I've been looking for a spot closer to home and this little yoga studio on the back side of Mueller is perfect for me. They are adding more class times in February, and they just opened the last week of December. I paid a year's membership and am very happy with my choice. People of all levels of practice are welcome here. You don't feel judged or looked down upon if you are newer. The studio is clean, welcoming, and well organized. It doesn't feel corporate or like you are just a number. Gabriel knows all of our names and greats us every day. I feel so encouraged when I go-even if I had a crappy class. read more

I really like this studio! I checked it out this past January during their free week of yoga. I went a few times but didn't quite feel connected because of the "post New Year everyone is going to try yoga" rush. I checked it out through class pass again during our lovely hot summer when the Bikram crowd is much slimmer and enjoyed it a lot more. I love the outside window as it makes the space feel so nice and open. I do check out some of the other Bikram studios in Austin but this one seems to be more challenging for me which is great! There is plenty of parking and the front desk studio was welcoming and made me feel at home. Tessa's class was great! I'll definitely be back! read more

I walked into my first class at Bikram Yoga with very little preparation - in other words I had no idea what I was doing. The instructor/guide (Gabriel) was so welcoming, supportive and knowledgeable, I felt instantly at home. The vibe of the studio is wonderful - all are welcome from the most advanced yogis to beginners like myself. I've had the pleasure of doing 90-minute and 60-minute classes with Gabriel, Alexandra and Tess. They each bring their unique style to a consistent, high quality teaching. I really love this place and encourage any and all to visit and try it! read more

After I was diagnosed with aggressive rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 28, Yoga East Austin was the main source of encouragement to me during a time when my friends and family didn't know what to say to me. I got through the beginning of being ill by going here almost daily, and though I started practicing out of necessity and with severe limitations I came to love it. Even though I wish I didn't have RA, I am actually grateful in some ways because it put me on a path to practicing yoga at this studio, making friends with my body and living life in a more healthy way. I am really thankful to Gabriel, Tessa, Alexandra, and all the amazing, knowledgeable and passionate teachers that make this studio what it is. They literally changed my life. I have never felt like a "yoga person," but I have done hundreds of classes here at this point and have recommended it to many people. I may be a lifer because even if I forget about it for a while, my joints will always remind me. Do a good thing for yourself and come practice here. If I can do it you definitely can. read more

This is a very well-run studio. I attended the free yoga week a few years in a row before I decided to commit to a July-Sept summer special to help with a detox program.. Since my family was out of town and work slowed down, I was able to attend almost daily. I noticed immediate results after a few days. Day 1 - I felt like I was going to pass out, was chugging coconut water like crazy, and definitely could not do many of the exercises. My main goal was to stay in the room. However I remembered the co-owner's (Gabe) words when I first signed up, which was that once the ability to stretch more is gained, that ability stays for years afterwards. So I thought it would be worth sticking to the program. By Day 4 - note I attended the 90 minute sessions - I was able to stretch significantly more and didn't need nearly as much water. By September I felt very confident in the room and could perform all the poses, including touching my forehead to my knee, which I do not remember being able to do ever. My ability to sweat during the hot yoga sessions also increased significantly, which is a good thing. I highly recommend this exercise for those who are looking to improve their flexibility and core strength and who can attend at least a few times a week. Another key differentiator for me is the Spine class. That class alone is worth the membership. If you sit at a desk all day, I highly highly recommend you try it out. I felt like a new person, and so loosened up. Tess, the instructor, recommended at the end of that class that we take it easy the rest of the day as we might feel emotional, as much of that is stored along the spine. I wish I was able to attend that class more but it's currently offered only on Saturdays at noon, which usually conflicted with my kids' sports schedules. Other pluses: - Convenient class times - Ample parking - Showers with Dr. Bronner soap - Very clean - Not smelly - Filtered Berkey water But the biggest plus is the staff. It's clear to me that the owners and staff really love what they do and are committed to sharing their love of all things yoga. They are kind and compassionate, and work with you at your level. I am more of a get-it-done rush-to-the-next thing type of person; but every time I entered the yoga room I felt a calm settling knowing that the next 60 min or 90 min of class would involve the familiar set of postures with a familiar teacher that would challenge, yet support my physical and mental well being. I appreciate that the staff try to build community with each other and the members, such as coordinating getaway yoga trips together, and are very generous with the specials they offer. I see many members greet each other like they have known each other for a long time. They also often bring in guest teachers to mix it up a bit. They offer a 2 week pass for $30, please go check this local business out! read more

I'm writing FAQs as a tribute for the first timers of Bikram yoga (of which I am not far from): Q. Is Bikram yoga just for hardcore hippies? A. NO. But it is for those who want an overall workout that you will NEVER EVER forget, not to mention your state of being that follows is equally unforgettable. All of your body systems get a work out all the way down to your internal organs - this is not an exaggeration! Q. Will I barf? A. MAYBE. But more than likely not if you drink lots of water starting 24 hours prior and avoid alcohol 24 hours before and after as well. Pace yourself - trust me that no one will be staring at you as everyone (no matter how advanced) is too busy with their own challenges. Q. Do I have to be flexible? A. YES AND NO. It does help if you can manuever like a pretzel - I am not going to lie. However, if you have even mediocre muscle strength and/or endurance, your flexibility is almost an afterthought compared to those two vital ingredients of Bikram yoga. Q. How do I dress? A. NOT IN YOUR UNDERWEAR. Guys please avoid items that leave nothing to the imagination to include "how it's hanging." Girls, keep in mind you are bending over a lot. You are up and down a lot. Your business dangling while you are cross-eyed in Dandayamana Dhanurasana is probably not a good look. Just guessing. Now that we have that out of the way we are ready for this wonderful thing called Bikram yoga that is the same 26 postures for 1 and 1/2 hours in 105-110 degrees. Everytime. Don't forget a big towel for your mat and a little towel for your tears! Tidbits: Timeframes to use class passes are very generous. Gabriel is amazing and whenever I have him leading the class I am at ease and at peace. The floor is textured to help with slipping. All areas are clean and pretty - lots of windows. The only downside is the sun, even with the solar protectant on the windows, it is an issue as far as UV exposure. But you can always get in the front of the class and avoid the windows while getting to look at your hot self up close in the mirror. I mean, I don't know about you guys but I'm always at my best when gasping for air while in some position I wonder if I will ever make it out alive from ... bright red sweaty neon face and all. read more

Obviously some of the reviewers here are disturbed individuals. Yes, a different flooring choice would be better, but a little bit of odor is not going to hurt anyone, and yes they do clean. If you like Bikram yoga, then this is a fine studio. If you are a hater and find it necessary to criticize everything about Bikram yoga, then go do some weak, girly yoga instead, or stay home and eat Cheetos. I took a couple classes with the owner and a couple with one of the main (female) instructors. They were all good. The owner's flow class was very original and included some advanced Ashtanga forms. Also, his energy is very strong. The bathroom was clean with good showers. Plenty of room in class and in the bathroom. They did not hassle me about being from out of town and doing an introductory special. Also, they have cool dogs! And finally, the other people practicing were very friendly to me... maybe that's an Austin thing, I'm not sure. read more

owner admits that he ignores email on purpose. moderately good but not great yoga kind of dickish attitude.

This is a review for Bikram students and will likely not help someone who is considering Bikram. This is a great studio. I've practiced in a LOT of different countries and there are things I love about this place and things that I'm not to keen on. LOVE - That it's a clean studio. LOVE - That the bathrooms are super clean and spacious LOVE - Class is super disciplined. Not a lot of movement during postures, students are very respectful of each other. Unlike another studio in Austin where people are drinking during postures, walking in and out of class for water, grunting and groaning... annoying. LOVE - That it's a small business you know you are directly supporting a person and not a chain. Not too keen - That they have a full wall of window that faces the street. I've never been to a studio that doesn't have them fogged out, so you are pretty much on display. It never bothered me since I took the 9:30am class and by that point everyone has already gone to work or gotten to work so not a lot of foot traffic. Although it is awkward (not the pose) having a random dog walker watching you and your jelly rolls contort into odd and private positions. I never minded being almost naked (with not the best body) in class since everyone in there is so focused on their own practice they couldn't care less about you and your jelly belly. But it's different when passer by's are gawking, while trying not to seem like they are. lol Again I will say it wasn't a huge issue for me since I went when the streets weren't so busy, but I know I couldn't do an evening class because of it. Not too keen - When there's a small class the teacher practices with you. I have never experienced this before and I find it really odd. It happened more than once and with more than one teacher. *Good thing to know is that, there are two dogs who are always there which doesn't bother me but if you're afraid of dogs or are allergic you should take that into consideration. As far as the odor is concerned, it smells like a Bikram studio, actually it's pretty good for a Bikram studio! That's what they smell like. I've never found it offensive and I've been to some that were pretty bad. The studios with the least aroma have wood floors, those are hard to come by I would imagine because of the humidity and sweat. It's a great studio. Support a small business. read more

Dropped in on a Thursday night and had a great hot yoga session. Will be back for sure!

A rare find: a clean, well managed hot studio -- with parking and a nice staff.

I'm new to yoga, and Bikram Yoga East Austin has provided a really great introduction to the practice. ALL of the instructors are excellent, and it shows that they are very dedicated to yoga and teaching. The studio is super clean, and really nice- photos I've seen online don't do the space justice. And because the quality of the instruction is so good, I'd say anyone from beginner to expert would benefit from and enjoy classes here. read more

Love. Love. Love. This studio is fantastic. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. I bought the 14 day pass and after the first class (my endorphins were high) I committed to 13 more classes in a row. While I was only able to complete 10 classes in 14 days, my ultimate goal was achieved. I got addicted to the yoga and all the staff knew my name when I walked in. Get yer hot ass to this hot ass yoga studio; you won't regret it. read more

First time doing hot yoga and I had an absolute BLAST! It's very clean and reasonably priced. Tessa was so nice and welcoming! Will definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

Great yoga studio!! Friendly environment and I love both the hatha and Bikram classes! I think it is beginner friendly because different options are always given for the poses! All of the instructors are approachable and helpful! read more

This was a terrible class. First, the instructor (Jennifer) was rude when I entered the studio. Didn't welcome me or anything. Next, she stood on a platform with a microphone and talked really fast. I thought I was at an auction or something. She kept saying the same things over and over again. She made no alignment corrections or gave modifications, of which I needed some and other students definitely did. Finally, the majority of her guidance was unsafe and ill advised. Certain extensions should not be attempted let alone forced (extensions of the neck and back). I will never go again and recommend a pass on this studio. read more

East Austin/Mueller def needed a Bikram studio and this one delivers. The instructors are varying degrees of friendly but most people are attracted to Bikram as an ascetic discipline vs. feel-good forum for so perhaps it's fitting that the whole vibe is no-nonsense. The studio is clean and has showers + lockers + community board, all of which are essential in my opinion. The Q&A below is great -- here are few other pointers for anyone going to Bikram for the first time (and I do recommend that EVERYONE try Bikram at least a few times in your life): - Drink water and eat light (vegan) food for the 24 hours prior to class - Bring a water bottle into the room, but know that drinking water during class doesn't actually make you feel better; it just cools off your mouth more than anything. It fills up your belly with water making spinal twists in the second half of class more uncomfortable. Drink water before and after -- not during. - Wear tight-fitting, non-cotton shorts and sports bra/tank. Cotton is your enemy. - If you need to pause to rest during class, sit on your bum rather than lie down, allowing the blood to flow away from your head. - The class is as much about mindfulness and delaying gratification (eg not wiping sweat from your face) as fitness -- if you approach it that way you will definitely find it rewarding. read more

Bikram Yoga East Austin is amazing! All the yoga teachers are phenomenal and very knowledgeable. They offer a variety of classes all week including the signature Bikram Yoga. After starting Bikram yoga in 2018, it has been a life changing experience inside my body and mind and I have so much respect for my teachers and their dedication to make each and everyone of their students the best possible version they can be as a human. I love going to the studio everyday as much as possible. They treat everyone like family and greet everyone by their first name. I have come to make long life friends by just seeing their students daily and attending their yoga retreats. All the teachers are very welcoming and kind and they take the time to get to know you and provide you with any recommendations or just a listening ear to both body and mind. I love this yoga studio. This is my studio for life!!!! read more

I was so excited when I saw that Bikram Yoga East Austin was first being built in this part of town! This place is amazing. The instructors are fabulous. I am so happy doing Bikram Yoga; it's challenging, but now I don't have to go to the gym and lift weights, which I never was a fan, just did weights for my bone density. Now, I don't have to lift weights. I have regained muscles in my upper arms and my legs. So impressive. I have even lost weight, which wasn't my goal, but I sure am glad to find a natural way to lose that unwanted extra poundage put on by age and a love for food. Yoga: each practice I feel I am able to challenge myself to the degree I am most comfortable with that day, that includes pacing myself for my own practice, not racing to get ahead of the person beside me. I've been going for about 4 months now, the first two months, I admit, were challenging: getting into the poses, adjusting to the temperatures, wanting to throw off my clothes, but with the instructor's help, I was able to get through it each class. I asked about how the Summer heat would effect my practice, and Tessa told me the studio heat would actually acclimate me to Summer's heat, and she is right - at least so far, it is only June 16, after all. But, I love my Bikram Yoga. I encourage everyone to practice yoga. Namaste. read more

I've long resisted trying Bikram due to the fear that the smell of sweat would waft through the room. And, let's be honest, it does. But that was the only downside. The class was intense, I was feeling it for a couple of days. The instructor (Michael) kept things upbeat and moving quickly. Clean facility with nice locker rooms. read more

I've been doing Bikram Yoga on and off for about 7 years in Austin. I started at Yogagroove in North Austin, which I loved. Eventually that got bought out by Pure which I didn't really love. Finally this place opened up. It took me a good year to come around get back into it. Once I did, I was pleasantly surprised at the energy of this place. The instructors are fabulous. Some times Bikram yoga instructors can be a bit boot campy and overwhelming (I get it, I hear some people actually like that). What I like about the instructors here is there calm assertive instruction and passionate perspective. This is my one and only bikram yoga studio in Austin, I am here to stay! read more

Although I was only three miles away, if you travel there during rush hour, it can easily take up to 30 minutes travel time to arrive and snag a parking spot-not their fault but this is a logistical issue that must be factored into the experience. Once I entered the actual studio, I was not enthused by the lack of space. We were very cramped and next to me was a rather lanky gentleman who spent the better part of the class "man spreading". It made it challenging to avoid his awkward lurching movements and seemed at any moment he could topple into me. Just when I finally let my guard down WHAM! he bumped into me, and really is there ever an appropriate time to tell someone to not drip sweat all over your yoga mat. Why not just limit the amount of students per class? Facilities and parking issues aside, I enjoyed the teacher's energy and may even try it again some time. The counter check in people were also very sweet. It tends to draw the more millenial/hipster crowd so if that is you, rock on. read more

Starting from the beginning, I had been looking up and researching yoga places. It had been a while since I had done any type of exercise and I started looking up yoga studios with the best reviews, cheapest prices, good locations and class times that fit my schedule. I decided to go to Bikram Yoga East after reading up on hot yoga and Bikram Choudhury. In preparation I read all the information on the website, drank a lot of water, and packed my yoga shorts, a towel, my mat, and a bottle of water. Honestly I was pretty excited and thought I was pretty well prepared. I walked into the studio and started speaking with the gentleman behind the counter and the woman to his left. He was very polite in asking me questions and suggested that I buy a week, since it was the same price as one session. She was kind of rude and had an attitude. I went and changed and they have a fantastic dressing room with 2 showers and blow dryers. I walked into the studio and was caught a little by surprise by the overwhelming stench of what I can only describe as just funk. Well I suppose that is normal, right? A room heated to 105 degrees and people sweating....a lot! That makes sense. I battled my way through the experience, having to sit down quite a bit, but in the end feeling very proud of myself and the fact that I got through the class and didn't pass out or die. After I was done I went and showered and then spoke with my instructor who stated that it would be best for me to attend another class within 24 hours, and I fully intended to. Now here is the big but, I got super sick. After walking out of the studio I immediately began sneezing like crazy and just thought I had gotten something up my nose or something just irritated it. When I woke up the next day I couldn't go to work I was so sick, runny nose itchy eyes and throat, and watery itchy eyes. Dr. said I must have come into contact with something I was allergic to, perhaps mold..... So needless to say I have not and will not return to this studio and most likely will not do any type of hot yoga again. read more

Best Yoga in Austin! I used to frequent a few other popular yoga studios, but this one really is a cut above. I've been going very off and on for the past year. Classes are as intense as you feel your body needs. The instructors are all great - super friendly and will push you to push yourself. The studio always has a very clean and warm atmosphere. This practice allows you to focus so much on your body and mind, nothing like any yoga I've done before. The high you get after every class definitely follows you for hours and days. I also really appreciate that this studio is relatively spiritually neutral. Some studios make me feel like having a detailed understanding of Eastern philosophy is a prerequisite to attending class. Not here. Its all about you, your focus, your practice. read more

I love Bikram Yoga. It is an amazing practice of mind and body! I was so happy to learn this studio had opened and even more excited after I took my first class there. I've been practicing Bikram on and off for about 4 years; and after being on a hiatus the last year, I have been looking for a new "home" studio (the majority of my practice had been at Yogagroove). The studio space is awesome and it has a great energy. It feels so welcoming and calming when you walk in the door.....something I felt was really lacking from the downtown Bikram studio (IMHO). I am already being greeted by name; it is very clean; and I've really liked all of the teachers. I feel they are excited to teach and enjoy guiding you through the class. Those that have practiced Bikram before know that even though the class is the same 26 postures and same dialogue, the teachers can really change the dynamic of the room. I encourage everyone to try Bikram Yoga. Go into the room without judgment or expectations. Let yourself be and listen to your body (not your mind!) as you move through class. You'll be surprised what your body can do once your mind shuts-up. Oh, and don't forget to hydrate well in advance! read more

Love this studio! Great space, great energy, and awesome community of yogis!

Great yoga! Totally enjoyed Celeste! Very up beat! You work hard. You sweat! It would be a 5 star for sure except for the smell. It smells sweaty and takes about 5 minutes to get used to. Guaranteed awesome mood yoga! read more

I did a Groupon to try it out. It is hot and challenging, but the teacher was great and tells everyone to go at their own pace. Wasn't crowded in any of the classes I went to. Very cool vibe. read more

Love this place, love the people; been going for 1.5yrs. in the meantime I have subjected myself to all sorts of styles of yoga and NOTHING comes as close to fully pushing the life-reset button like making it through the Bikram series in that wonderful heat. Yes, they still use the name "Bikram, or Bik" on there schedule and building but don't be fooled by the fools; that perverted megalomaniac doesn't make any $$ or commission from this studio (or any that bears his name for that matter.) He simply popularized the series in the US after stealing it from his teacher in India. True story. Look it up. So take this 26 pose series guilt free; it's absolutely magic. Unlike many other styles of yoga I have NEVER left there feeling like it was a waste of my time or I didn't get something huge from it; it's such a demanding and rigorous series that it feels like, to me, more of a workout than a stretching session. Admittedly i LOVE insanely hot weather and I'm one of the very few who you'll never hear bitching about Texas weather in the middle of August. 112F? no problem. I'll go running in that (bonus fact: You'll have the trails all to yourself!). So I'm a bit of a lizard in that sense and I have brought people that get a little stifled by the heat which i think is usually around 106-109 F. But most everyone I've talked into attending falls in love with room, the people and the 26 poses. They offer a ton of other styles of classes at many times throughout the day. The non-Bik classes aren't always heated (unfortunately for me); personal favorites include the Hatha's and Forrest Yoga. And the montly cost, compared to other heated (like really heated; many say they are but are not even close to East Side) practices is town is incredibly low. read more
