Funky Door Yoga Reviews

They have a unique atmosphere and are fairly inviting. The floor smells crazy during seated positions. Water is $4 a pop and they don't have a sign saying not to bring a glass bottle... but the woman found a bottle for me to use after I trekked down the street to fill mine for naught. Strict instructor, felt pressured to move past comfort level and risk injury when encouraged to not drink water (it is my first time back in almost 5 years) until the end of the pose... I'm going to drink water when my body tells me, thanks.

An absolutely AWESOME bikram yoga studio! Awesome instructors! Colorful place! Provide mats for purchase! Clean showers... i just wish they had a water filtration system for the students. Its either you buy, bring own, or tap water. Guess I got spoiled by other businesses having available drinking water.

My partner and I arrived late. We wanted to inquire about the next class. When we approached the counter we said hello to one of two women at the desk. One woman met our kindness with kindness, the other was extremely rude and cut us off before we could ask our question. Here's how the encounter played out.

Us: Hello!

One of the ladies: Good morning!

The rude woman: If he's new you can't go in.

We're both well aware of the policies and were put off by this woman's comment. My girlfriend attended class the other day (using a free month certificate she got from one of the instructors) and this same woman was combative about her using it. I'm not sure what's going on with her but it made the space hostile. We left and took a class at Yoga to the People.

Excellent costumer service and instructors (especially Lia and her accent )
Con: unbearable carpet smell at the last two sessions of the day. Why not hardwood floor please?
Until they solve the carpet smell, i find that bringing your own *thick* yoga mat can help.

This is a very serious and a professional yoga studio . there is nothing like it around, The love and care that goes in to this studio is a sign of dedication and commitment, by the staff , Management and the ownership)
Thank you. Member since 2006. Still go there 5 days a week.

Took an intro class with friends and the staff was very receptive to new comers and very helpful in aiding us with the process, location of locker rooms, and class etiquette. An affordable intro class ($22) with mats and 3 towels. Nobody made you feel like an outsider and welcomed you with open arms. Nice of the teacher to introduce New comers to the entire class before the session started. First timers advice: shed as much clothing as you can! You sweat! It gets hot in there and they encourage you to do what you currently can. Don t over push it! You will definitely shed some water weight! Bring extra clothes because I was drenched! I ll be coming back as my schedule permits! A truly sensational experience for me and my group!

Teachers are positive. Showers are clean. Silly paintings set the mood.

I've been going on and off for a while, it really helps organize my life, recover from cycling trips, and detox. If you want it hot as hell, don't put your mat by the door. put it front and center or in that pointy little corner, you will fry. I appreciate that the door opens as the heat gives me nausea, and its nice to have a cool spot in the room. Bikram is almost a contact sport so be careful.

Enjoy.

This is one of the cleanest yoga studios that I have ever been to! I have been to many. Some of the pictures on the walls are as little quirky. If you like that kind of thing, then you will be at home. They also have an incredible 1st month offer. Definitely a great place to sweat yourself to a better you!

This is my FAVORITE yoga studio in Berkeley. The staff is very nice! I love that they don't shut the door on you once class starts. There is a small window at the beginning of the class that you can still enter after the first breathing exercise. Very clean. They have a 6am class on the weekends that is awesome right before work.

The best ! Teachers are wonderful. Kind but challenging and true to the Bikram method. Clean facility, towels and a mat and lock included with every class. Shout out to Crystal, Liz, Linnea and Jason!
