The front desk staff and instructor were very nice and friendly. The facility was clean and nice overall.

The reason why I'm rating this yoga studio so low is because of the actual yoga session. I have gone to many yoga classes before and this was the first time that I went to a class with carpeted floors and instructors that stood on a stand in the front with a microphone. That's not even the worst of it. Perhaps I'm not used to this style of yoga, but for 90 minutes the instructor drilled us through the 26 yoga poses. I felt like I was in a boot camp. I'm used to my yoga classes being relaxing and letting me go through MY practice not what the facility wants MY practice to be. I felt dizzy 45 minutes through, so I went into child's pose. She called me out..over the microphone to ask if I was ok and told me to keep my head above my heart if I had to rest. I don't know if that's standard for Bikram yoga, but if you ask any health care professional they usually tell you to put your head between you legs so blood will flow better. As a result, I had to take an even longer break because keeping my head up did not help with my dizziness.

I really appreciate the instructor taking an extra interest in my well-being, but I'm an adult and I know what to do when I feel dizzy. If you don't mind a boot camp style yoga session with bright lights, carpeted floors and an instructor yelling at you to "reach up, reach up, reach up, don't close your eyes" then this is your kinda of yoga and enjoy. However, I will be going to a calmer studio that allows for greater inspiration and variations during yoga practice.
