Bikram Yoga Calgary South

Greedy. After moving to north Calgary they would not refund an UNUSED 3 month package. They say they care about you but they don’t. Just another greedy business. Buyer beware.

Nice studio. First yoga place I’ve seen with two built-​in studio. Michelle was great. She took the time to remember my name, kept an eye on me during the practice, and follow up on my experience as I was leaving.
Every Thursday at 11:15am is their $ 5 drop in session. Keep in mind the session is 1hr vs the typical 1.5hr. Michelle made us work hard for the condensed time.
Nice personal touch here. I felt very welcomed and I will be back. Thanks!

A wonderful Studio.
I’ve been practicing Bikram Yoga for a number of years, and I’ve tried to go to studios where ever I travel to. The Calgary South studio is a wonderful space to practice.
First off, when you walk through the doors you have a large area to remove your footwear, customary for most yoga studios. The front desk staff are very pleasant and in most cases the instructors are there to greet you as well. There is a large merchandise area, everything from mats, to clothing, to water bottles and various other trinkets.
There are two rooms, and both are well lit and ventilated. They use a product called flotex for the flooring. Any studio that I’ve practiced in that uses this flooring (and that if maintained), there is virtually no smell to it. So no stinky rooms !
The instructors I’ve had, have all been very good. They know their script/​dialog and have good timing and pace throughout the class. Most of them have made comments to me after class. Helping me with corrections, or things that they noticed. This is quite impressive considering the number of students in the room for some of the classes.
Some of the classes can be full, so obviously its a good idea to get there early. Arriving 2 minutes before class may net you a less than desirable spot in the room. There is even a small freezer with frozen treats for after class. A nice touch, although I’ve never indulged.
There is plenty of free parking, as the studio is part of strip mall.
Overall I like the studio, its instructors and the rooms. Even though I don’t live in Calgary and I’m only traveling there to work. I decided to by a class pass. Needless to say, I’ll be going back !

My first time not only experiencing hot yoga, but yoga in general. The staff was great. They went over what to expect and how I would feel as well as the benefits of consistent practice. The instructor was kind and helpful, acknowledging that I was new, but in her critique never made me feel singled out. Plus the patrons were also super friendly and calmed my nerves. A fantastic first time experience and I am looking forward to going again :)

Wow. What a GORGEOUS studio. I wish it wasn’t so far south so I could go there all the time. The price is also good considering the sessions are 90 minutes, and unlike MOST hot yoga studios that say they are «hot» so they can charge the extra amount for operating costs, it actually keeps the room temperature hot and misty for the 90 minutes. The building is very spacious, so when you’re in one of the two studios you can’t hear people coming in or out, shutting doors or talking.
The bathrooms are unreal. No need to rush to get in the shower before others, there are about 10 showers here, and they provide you body wash. The entire place is elegantly decorated and very well laid out.
The instructors here are amazing. Extremely good at what they do, extremely encouraging, and they push you to do your best and not slack off in your poses. They definitely taught me the discipline that I need to gain that flexibility, strength, and determination I go to yoga for. I love that they have early morning classes. Definitely worth trying out if you haven’t and if you live in the area you’re super lucky to have it nearby.

I finally tried Bikram yoga and WOW!
There are people of all levels, abilities, shapes and sizes in the class so everyone is welcome to attend.
For newbies there is a table right as you walk in the entrance with registration forms to complete. Payment was processed by the staff quickly considering the crowd of people there. They have an introductory special of $ 39 for 2 weeks unlimited. (also includes towel and mat rentals) this is a great deal considering one drop in class is about $ 20.
The women’s change room is pretty small considering women are the majority of the clientele.
Get into the studio quickly to get your spot before class starts, especially on weekends.
The instructors are great and cater to all levels. They push people of all abilities to give each posture all their effort.
The class is 90 minutes and leaves you feeling energized and relaxed all at the same time.
Hydrate after class and go again soon to get the most out of it!!!

This is a huge two studio space in the southeast of Calgary, and I have actually passed this studio many times until today, I had no idea there was a yoga centre in this little strip mall.
The place is so serene when you enter, partial sunlight floats in, the waiting room has huge black and white photographs of South Asian images and there seems to be tea that is available to all its visitors.
The lady at the desk was extremely informative describing Bikram Yoga for me and all its assets. Seems that Bikram Yoga or Hot yoga is a series of 26 yoga postures in a heated space that is designed to bring oxygen to 100 percent of the body. The classes are 90 minutes long and the temperature is around 40 degrees, each class can hold 55 attendants but in most cases she said they have seen around 30 people in the class, which gives you more room to stretch and sweat.
Other places in Calgary have seen larger populations in attendance so sometimes it can get uncomfortable when stretching an arm and perhaps touching your neighbours privies.
If you are a beginner, there is a 7 day package of $ 30 which is approximately $ 4.28 a class where they let you borrow their mats and towels. All other packages have the option of renting towels and mats at one dollar a piece. Classes range from drop in to a yearly package and all seem relatively inexpensive considering I have seen this type of Yoga at super expensive rates in the United States.
BY helps with blood circulation, it helps to distress, you can sleep better, your appetite regulates. On a longer term you can expect BY to get rid of aches and pains, increase your strength, flexibility and stamina.
Most of all it is a fun social exercise like thing to do, which is intense but is incredibly humbling. I would highly recommend this space to any Yoga enthusiasts out there.
