The class is hot and the 26 postures are the best. healing postures. It does take some time to get used to the heat but its worth getting used to it.. Being a man I kind of laughed at yoga but now I get it and would recommend it to anyone especially people with pain an injuries. Great mix of people. Thank you
Unusually aggressive front desk guy. I really wanted to love this place. After my experience, I would never go back or recommend this place. I hadn’t been to a yoga class since Covid started and was excited to find a regular space to practice again since the studio I went to closed down. I raced through traffic to make it there on time to find a locked door 8 minutes before scheduled class. I telephoned the number on the website to see how to get in and the guy who answered gruffly “hello.” told me that I had to buzz up, and that “most people figure it out”. He hung up on me actually and buzzed me in. I went up to the boot room to take my shoes off and he came out to me with other people around and said loudly that there was a buzzer, didn’t I see it, and again that most people figure it out. He looked angry and “mean” which isn’t a term I’ve used since I was a kid. I felt so humiliated and kind of wondered why this guy was making a point to make me feel stupid and unwelcome. I don’t know if he was the owner or staff but he treated me like he didn’t want me there. Last time I checked businesses didn’t run on bad vibes. I could feel him staring at me as I checked in with the other front desk person. Horrible feeling. Despite a decent yoga class with a different teacher, I wouldn’t go again, and would probably recommend against it. Also it was expensive at $30 a drop in for a non-heated vinyasa class.
You feel clear headed and ready to experience the day after this yoga session. They really need to fix the bugs on their app though.. took me 45 minutes to book 2 sessions. Wouldn't save my information, process my payment, and finally it did after typing in the same information over and over. Probably best to just call and book to avoid this headache.
Due to medical reasons, I am required to keep my phone on silent near me at all times in order for my medical devices to continue functioning. I called in to ask if I could attend classes with my phone not used/silent and just near me and was told that the no-phone policy still applied and that I would not be able to attend. Bit of a sad outcome considering the nice reviews here, but I think it’s important that others in a situation similar to mine are made aware.
Bikrams Yoga Commercial Drive is my second home. The artistic murals on the stairs & walls make the studio a creative soulful space. The large windows in the hot studio allow light, sunshine and amazing sunrises to lift my spirit and my practice. The instructors truly care about the students and the yoga, not just the physical practice but also the mental and soulful aspects. I came to Bikrams Yoga through my acupuncturists recommendation for my shoulder injury. And, I came to the studio on Commercial Drive because it’s within walking distance in my neighbourhood. Best decision I ever made! Three years later my shoulder has made amazing recovery in range of motion. Physically, I’m in the best shape ever. Mentally I have more clarity, belief in my potential, and sense of purpose. Emotionally, I am stronger, more calm, and prepared to face inevitable obstacles. At this studio I have been fortunate to form friendships with like minded people. Coffee and conversation after class are the best! I am ever so grateful! A special thanks to Christian leader & visionary for the yoga & the studio, for his continued support. And a special mention to Fador the canine mascot who sets the example of relaxed chill, and always makes me smile just by hanging out in the lobby.
This place makes me believe it is truly heaven on earth. Physically the studio is stunning, full of art, and perfectly heated with a beautiful coziness to it. What really makes the space exceptional is the energy. The teachers are encouraging, non judgmental and guide you to do what is right for your body while still practicing traditional Bikram yoga. Words cannot describe my gratitude for this space, and I thank them so much for having me.
The best yoga studio with the most amazing team, I have been doing yoga for 12 years and I have never had such supportive and encouraging teachers. I've been going to this studio for 5 years and cant even think about practicing elsewhere. Breath is life. In bikram classes they do 10 minutes of continuous breathing to energize the entire body. In no other yoga class do I feel as safe as a 90 minute bikram class, knowing that after ten whole minutes of deep breathing, my body is connected to my mind so much that I can safely push my body to its maximum strength and flexibility.
I really love their facility and the instructors. Also, their business practice is very easygoing because you won’t lose your pass if you cancel last minute. I really enjoy their positive energy and environment.
