Bikram's Yoga College Of India

I'm just an average guy in average shape who went to take class largely due to my girlfriend's urging. I thought I'd get better results at the gym and was pretty close minded about yoga. I quickly discovered I was also uninformed. I got my butt kicked! It was fantastic!. What surprised me the most was the fact that I got a full cardio workout - from yoga - who knew? Pros: Great workout - Excellent instruction - Fantastic results Cons: Nothing more

Want to stay away from doctors, medications, and expensive creams or treatments? Well then this is the place for you! And you truly end up looking much much younger. Most importantly, you look and feel better. You start eating what is good for you. YOU truly take charge of your life and, the end results are much better than expected. No therapist, injection, cream or spa can give you what Bikram gives you and only in 90 minutes per class. You will see millions of results that you and others around you will notice, whether its at work or in your personal life. Really! Give it a try, you will never EVER go back to your old routines, believe me. One class a day takes the doctor, age, pain and negativity away! Pros: 1 million more

Get ready for a change in your health, attitude and spiritual well-being! The staff members and instructors take a personal interest in all participants' growth and development in their yoga practices. I go to class 3 times a week and have been going for 2 months now. I feel more energetic, more flexible, my BP has gone down and yes, I have lost weight and gained tone. Bikram yoga is great for everyone! Pros: great staff Cons: limited class times more

I have been an athlete my entire life and now I am 53 years old. This Bikram Yoga class is a life saver. It has TOTALLY healed the following: 1) Tendinitis (tennis elbow), 2) Rotator Cuff 3) Post arthoscopic knee surgery 4) Strained neck 5) Pulled hamstring. In addition it has REALLY helped my golf game (10 handicap) because it increases tremendously your flexibility and balance. This will sound crazy but one final benefit is it works wonders with your complexion and skin. more

This studio is the best in town. The classes are a blast. The instructors and staff are fantastic. The facility is outstanding. Most importantly the yoga works. If practiced consistently an individual can really make huge changes in their physiology and their life. more

The staff and instructors from this location are some of the nicest and most helpful I've met. I have been practicing two years and have seen phenomenal results from the continuous practice, as they suggest. One cannot judge this experience from the outside, it is one that must be experienced first hand. The yoga is not only a strength building workout, but mind and spiritual one as well. Kudos to all of the teachers and staff for the great experience and atmosphere that is provided. Pros: Fabulous staff and facilities. Cons: n/a more

I have been attending this wonderful gem of a yoga studio since it opened more than five years ago. Taking class here is often the highlight of my day, and I know many of my fellow students feel the same way. The entire staff makes the effort to learn everyone's name, and that is no small task given the size of some of the classes. Pros: Fantastic results, great staff, beautiful facility more

To quote a good friend, ""We go through this life in search of the very best things."" Well, this is one of them. If you are lucky enough to find this wonderful gem of a yoga studio, and if you begin to practice this amazing form of hatha yoga, a profound change will begin to transform your life and good things will follow you every where you go. Since beginning this yoga four years ago, my whole world has changed. This yoga has made me incredibly strong and fit--inside and out. In addition, the studio itself has such a delightful, warm, inviting energy. Just being there, in the company of fellow practicioners is rejuvenating. Pros: Immaculate and professional. The watermark for other studios to follow. more

I travel a lot and and i only make it to the classes about once everyother week. I feel very unwelcome each time i return because i dont have a membership. Also i feel that the instructors should be an image of what i am trying to accomplish with my body and these lady are not ........the male instructor is the only one there that make me feel i am getting what i paid for. 'the ladys are VERY pushy and make inaproprate coments while in class. PLEASE if you know of another HOT YOGA or where the male instructor may have gone post a new comment! Pros: in the galleria Cons: very RUDE and pushy more

For the past year I have been attending daily classes at Joani Nunez more

Well what can I say about Bikram Yoga that hasn't already been said. I was a big skeptic when it came to yoga, but from the first day I walked in to the Bikram Yoga Studio on Fountainview all the staff there made all my doubts go away. All the instructors are so knowledgable, they don't just teach yoga they live it which really made me a believer. Marvin the front desk guy is one of the nicest guys you will ever talk to. Before you even set foot inside the classroom, he goes into detail what to expect, which made my experience there much more enjoyable. Give these guys a try, I promise you, you won't be sorry. Pros: Parking, Friendly Staff Cons: N/A more

it was one of the most amazing things I have ever done for myself. The staff was very friendly and they made me feel welcomed from the minute i walked in the door. They provide everything you need on the first day and their rental prices are reasonable. The instructors are well trained and are very knowledgeable about the yoga. after the first class I felt so relax and flexible, it was just great! I would recomend this to anyone who is looking to feel/look great. I'm glad to have found this place! Pros: ample parking more

Of the many different types of yoga I've taken, I LOVE Bikram Yoga the most! The staff is really friendly and they provided everything I needed for my first class. The front desk person, Marvin, is super nice, because I was weary about ""Hot"" yoga the first time. He throughly explained everything from how I should take care of myself before and after class in great detail. All of the instructors are phenomenal, they learned my name the first class and make an effort to help you along so that your practice gets better. My first class was with Joani, and she made me feel comfortable throughout the entire class; everyone claps for you after you get through your first class! Everything is very personal and everyone is just so darn nice. It's a nice change of pace from a stuffy gym. I look forward to going to classes every week, I go about 3 times a week. It fits into my schedule because they have evening classes. I've been going since February and I wouldn't ever go anywhere else because I love how I feel after every class. =) Pros: Very friendly staff and super clean facilities. Cons: Parking, get to class ahead of time! more

This was a great yoga class, however, you had to use the prepaid classes up in a short time or you lost them. Hard to do when you travel a lot. Its not a fair system for the customer, if you dont use it you loose it! Pros: work out Cons: membership more

This yoga is awesome and life changing, and these studios are the best in town to practice it in. I live near one in the Galleria and work close to the other in the Med Center and with over 70 class times it's easy for me to get to class every day of the week. I've traveled to other cities, states and countries and have been able to find certified Bikram studios, that know these studios and their incredible instructors, so I can keep my practice going while away from home. This yoga has truly transformed me inside and out and II highly reccommend these wonderful studios! Pros: Two convienent locations with classes all day and week, variety of up-to-date Bikram certified instructors more

From the moment you walk through their doors you are welcomed by a warm and friendly staff. There is a collective group of students from all walks of life and fitness levels sharing their experiences with one another, we really feel like a family here! Everyone on staff is so supportive and compassionate. The teachers and desk staff really take the time to get to know you and everybody is on a first name basis. I love the eclectic music and vibrant colorful decorative touch of the lobby and yoga room. You can tell alot of thought and care goes into every detail there. The yoga is so amazing! I've never done any kind of exercise that makes me feel as good as Bikram yoga does. My aches and pains started to disappear after just a week of coming to class every day and after a month no pain and I had already lost several pounds and inches! I am in the best shape of my life! Believe it or not it also helped with my digestive issues. I love the location, it's centrally located and easy to get in and out of. I've never had to wait for a parking spot. The studio is kept really clean too! I wouldn't want to practice yoga anywhere else, they really make you feel right at home! Pros: Great schedule, excellent location, wonderful staff, clean environment more

Having recently becoming a Houstonian transplant a few months ago as a lifetime New Yorker and Bikram Yoga devotee I was amazed how welcomed I felt by the warm and wonderful staff and fellow yogis and yoginis at these studios. I tried another ""hot yoga"" studio in town for a bit but the small schedule and frequent cancellations by the one instructor lead me to the true Bikram schools here. Incredible schedules, variety of certified instructors and nice facilities make it easy for me to incorporate this incredible life changing yoga into my daily routine. Knowing that at sevev days a week morning, noon and night there are classes available for me to start or end my day is a plus, especially when trained by some of the best instructors in the world that are close to the living guru of this form. This allows me to grow and continue my healing and well being. After hearing life changing stories from many students I highly recommend these studios to both beginners and long time practicers. Houston, you are fortunate to have quality studios like these. Namaste. Pros: friendly staff, two nice and true to form facilities with showers, big schedule, positive energy more

I have only good things to say about Bikram Yoga. It is basically doing yoga in a very hot room. You really do start feeling the difference even after the first class. At first I too was a bit skeptical, but now I am a believer. I liked that they give people the option to try out one class before committing to the program. The prices are on the expensive side. more

To the best of my knowledge, a Bikram instructor trains for about three months AND has to keep going back for recertification. And if you're going to try Bikram yoga it's probably a good idea to learn from properly trained people. My experience with BYCI has been nothing but incredible. Every instructor is attentive and patient. The front desk has friendly and welcoming people. The classes start on time. The heat is awesome. There's a large car park. I'm now going there 6 or 7 days a week and haven't felt this good in 40 years! Schedule your life around this place. You won't regret it! Pros: Instructors, Jack and Libby, Parking Cons: No free doughnuts more

Besides the many benefits listed on their helpful website, I can testify that Bikram yoga also gives you stress relief, better sleep, voluntary diet improvements (it makes you want less junk food and more water), and skyrocketing self-esteem as you conquer class after class. COME HERE! No one judges, everyone helps. You DO NOT need to worry about not being able to ""do"" every pose perfectly, because your goal is to change your body from the inside out, so no one cares what you look like. So liberating! Pros: Never boring, Heat is safe, Nice teachers more
