I started to come here with some memories of the purported benefits of this yoga. I went in in the roughest shape of my life and have come out the other side with increased energy, focus and vigor. I appreciate the reminders painted on the front of the room. I stare at them sometimes in moments I need more energy. “Discipline, Patience, Determination,” etc...Powerful stuff. The yoga was something that helped me regain focus and i find coming into class helps me realign myself and look for signs of what’s needed most in my life. Where do I need to show up? Am I low energy? Do I need better nutrition? Do I want to be here? You’ll learn quickly what is needed. I think for some this yoga brings intensity we need to find ourselves in a chaotic mental and physical space. The structure of doing the same thing every class in the same order helped me understand how setting ourselves up for success works the same in class as it does outside. Wow. Thanks to the instructors here and my intentions for wellness I got the push I asked for and found myself navigating my health actively. I asked for help, I got that help. Get ready to sweat, and if you’re ready to look at yourself and learn from challenge this is the space for you. I like challenges and I like watching the physical changes associated with over-coming them. The way I move is more efficient, tying my shoes is something that gives me joy now and is humorous as I can stand stock still balanced on one leg and bring the other foot and hover it up in the air with not much effort now. My back is improving as flexibility increases and the pressure on the discs is released with good posture and alignment. Gardening is definitely easier now as I’m not collapsing into the low back. The instructors are kind and determined in their instruction, there’s a fierceness about their resolve. The instructors see your work, and and see you as you navigate life’s challenges and that in itself is a testament to the quality of this practice space.

I have been practicing bikram yoga for several years in various parts of the country. I'm happy to call Portland home now, as this is one of my favorite studios. The instructors are excellent and the owners are wonderful. I hightly recommend this studio if you are interested in bikram yoga.

I went to Bikram's Yoga at 48th and Fremont today for my first Bikram Yoga experience. It was pretty crowded but I think this was due to it being their introductory class (where members bring a friend), which only happens once a month. I found the facilities welcoming, with showers, changing room and fresh fruit served afterward. As far as bad stuff I would say two things: One, the place stunk like holy hell! The fact that it was carpeted did not seem like a good idea to me. (To their credit they are planning to close the studio for cleaning and revamping soon.). Two, people were NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE if they were experiencing discomfort! There was a young girl who got up to leave at the end and the instructor totally made her return to her spot! I can understand wanting to keep the class from being disrupted by people coming in and out, but there was a strong push to get people to stay and participate for the full 90 minutes. To their credit they do encourage (a little) to kneel and rest if you cannot perform the postures, but I feel as if there is a little bit of ignorance towards those that are really having a hard time. Back to the plus side: The class was fairly excruciating due to my being out of shape, but I have to admit I feel AWESOME right now and haven't felt this good naturally in A LONG TIME! :) Also, I felt so good after the class that I signed up for a month of membership (right now you get 37 days) for $30 which I found reasonable. P.S. Look for a new studio opening up on Alberta soon!
