There are many yoga studios that are great! There are many that offer hot bikram yoga that are great. And then there is a stand-alone standout studio in Williston, Vermont called Bikram Yoga Williston that blows every other studio I've been to out of the water! There is a community here, a culture of amazing people who come regularly and are respectful of the space and quiet and support the more energetic PiYo - pilates yoga and BUTI yoga, which is more fun than anyone should have in one hour. The schedule is flexible and offers a variety of different types of classes to fit your needs. Lemon and other herb-infused cold washcloths offered to you at the end of the class are heavenly. The instructors are second to none professionals and lead classes with calm and confidence, sharing soul-filling tips that empower your senses. Don't always have time for 90 minutes of pure bliss? Try the 60 or 75 minute classes. Kind, understanding instructors, able to greet you and guide by the way you show up physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. They foster a non-judgmental space that allows us to flourish. It doesn't matter what your body composition is. When you walk through the door, there is an acceptance and a love that is felt by all. Have you ever shopped around at studios to find the right fit? I did years ago, and once I landed in BYW, I knew I was home. That was two years ago. Best home I'll ever know. A contest in a yoga studio? Who does that? This studio engages with all of us, incentivizing us to do our best, and if we want to push, there's opportunity to do so with prizes awarded. I won a massage with Jen in the studio. I was grateful and politely accepted. Having received massages from all over the world in the past 25 plus years, I've had excellent massages, but never have I ever experienced a massage like Jen's. Before I left after my first massage, I booked future appointments with her. She is a unique gift, and I would highly recommend her as one of the best masseuses I've ever had. I don't say that lightly because I've had amazing massages over the years. Jen is a hidden gem. Get in touch with the studio today and try your first class. Generous newcomer specials and prices that allow me to easily say yes to monthly and annual packages. I share this review because I want you to experience the most amazing Bikram and massage experience that is available in Vermont, dare I say New England. It's here - and we are so lucky to have this studio. Give it a go and feel yourself grow...
