Bikram Yoga-Dallas

Great energy, beautiful space (clean/​organized), and knowledgeable & passionate instructors!
If you are into the truest form of Bikram Yoga, this studio is worth a visit … antimicrobial floors, H-​Vac Ventilation — pumping fresh air at a consistent 105 degrees — thus the air in the room doesn’t become stagnant, and nice locker rooms.
Hands down the most important variable as to a quality Yoga Studio are the Teachers, and this studio is No joke. They instructors truly teach, they are invested in your personal growth and aiding you at whatever level your practice. Their attentive, knowledgeable, and do it with «a smiling happy face!»
What more could a yogi ask for ;)
Thank you Bikram Yoga Dallas Team for helping make my days a little brighter!
oh, and p. s. they have a quaint apparel section that you can almost always find someone in class sporting the latest trends.

After a hiatus from Bikram, I revisited this studio and was surprised that they now offered a consolidated 60 minute class, along with the usual 90 minute class, and that the West Village location was closed. The 60 minute class offers the same 26 postures, with only some being repeated. I prefer the standard 90 minute class, as it allows me sufficient time to get into each posture and to practice mindfulness.
Each class is led by vocal instruction. Look to veterans for visual cues if you have any doubts. Remember to hydrate properly before class and to always listen to your body. Try to stay in class – take a seat with head above heart if you begin to feel lightheaded from the heat. Mat and towels are required but can be rented at the front desk. Bikram yoga is a challenge but gets progressively easier with each class. Put your mind, body, and spirit into your practice, and you’ll reap the benefits. Cheers, yogis, to a happier, healthier you!

Hot yoga. 105 degree hot.
The great thing about Bikram yoga is that it can be for anybody and everybody. It doesn’t matter how old, if you are a man or woman, etc. I see all kinds of people in there which is awesome.
There are set 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises based off the creator Bikram Choudhry which is the same every time as it is scripted. They guide you through the whole thing which can be from one to one hour and a half. One caveat though, you can’t leave the room once you’re in. If you need to take a break you can and they allow you to but they advise not to take a break unless you are dizzy or lightheaded or not feeling well. And also make sure to drink tons of water before you go there because you will drench yourself in sweat!
There are some instructors I like and some I don’t connect with. My favorite instructor was Julie. She is the friendliest one out of all of them and the most personable in my opinion. They change according to schedules. I liked going to the Uptown location but now they are closing it down and only keeping the Lakewood location which I’m not going to continue my membership but that doesn’t mean that it’s not good.
What I love about Bikram yoga was that it was a great way to detox, great feeling on my spine, stretched my muscles, helped me get more flexible than I ever was, and helped me with my flat feet. Also, it builds strength which most people don’t think about when they think about yoga but it requires a lot of it. I’ve seen the most muscular men in there and even they struggle with some of the poses!
It is quite pricey though. You can get a intro month for like 49 dollars and then it’ll be 100 dollars a month after. Check out Groupon they even have like 29 dollar initial month deals if they still have it. They have student rates you should ask about.
For those beginner yogi’s, make sure to bring a towel, mat, and a large bottle of water. If you don’t have it then bring some extra money so you can rent their mats/​towels for 2 dollars each. They have locker rooms and they sell water and kombucha on tap which is like the coolest thing I’ve seen. As for yoga clothes, make sure you wear a tank and shorts or a sports bra because it will be very hot. ;)

I love attending various Bikram Studios… This weekend I attended the July 3−4^th classes & my first time attending this studio!
Elene & Erika are friendly & great instructors! The class was insanely packed & loaded with an amazing amount of that Bikram Yogi energy!!!
All of the instructors, staff, and students are extremely friendly AND «social» which I appreciate being a newcomer to Dallas.
I love their Yogi gear & products, etc. The studio has a non intrusive lighting (say bye bye to seeing spots). Very spacious, clean & a nice steamy heat! The flooring is not carpet or squishy rubbery. Reminds me of a gym but not with the heavy glossy finish (sorry not the floor expert).
I really enjoyed practicing here & I’m excited to continue. I’ve read about this location & they always seem to have workshops, yoga in the park, & other events within the community! Today they were giving out free juicy popsicles after the class. Was a pleasant surprise! I will drive the 20 miles from Plano to practice here! Thank you for the warm & friendly welcome!

Staff is always friendly and makes you feel welcome. Even for beginners like me. I use to come here a few years back but the studio has been remodeled.

Lived in Los Angeles for 12 yrs and when I moved to Dallas this past Oct I was worried I wouldn’t find my safe haven Bikram Yoga studio. Did some research and turns out this place is super close to where I live. Studio is beautiful and staff and teachers are great thought not all teachers end the practice with namaste which I think is a little weird… Wish there were more 90min classes throughout the day too but I do really love it and it will be my studio of practice as long as I live in the area.

I love Bikram Yoga Dallas. The studio is clean compare to other hot yoga studios which I visited in Austin & Seattle. They have laminated wood floors which help eliminate any musty smells. The staff is friendly and always greets me with a smile. The classes are intense and rewarding. Every time, I’m in Dallas, I visit their Lakewood or West Village location.

Great place to experience Bikram yoga. I travel a lot and usually try and experience different Bikram studios across the western US. This is, by far, the best place I have experienced. It’s the only studio that doesn’t smell like a hamster cage. Great staff and instructors who are willing to help.

This studio is great! And first off this place is super clean! And thats super important when you are doing HOT yoga! The staff is the best! They make sure to ask you how you are doing when you first walk in, which I think its so important. Not feeling rushed in a place where you are coming to relax, and stretch is ideal when coming to yoga. If its your first visit here, the staff actually wants to know you name and will be sure to keep an eye on you when you are in practice.

Yep, I’ve been practicing at Bikram Yoga Milan and I can still honestly say that Bikram Yoga Dallas is the best. I’m so lucky that I got to go to this studio as a newbie and acquire a solid yoga foundation which to build on. I’m still not a yoga addict as I go only three times a week here in Milan, but BYD definitely made me appreciate this yoga and know the correct form for the postures.

105 degrees. 40 percent humidity. 26 poses in 90 minutes. Hardcore! This is not for the faint of heart yogi. Okay, so I’ve been practicing yoga for many years, mostly power/​vinyasa style is my bend and stretch of choice. I have tried a handful of Sunstone classes (the Fire 90 series) and they were just okay. Now I decided it was time to up the heat a bit and check out Bikram! The studio has been renovated and it’s very spacious and clean. There are showers in the restrooms for you to rinse off after. You sign in and place your mat down with towels. Bring your own towels and water with ICE! You will need it for sure during this workout. The poses are wonderful and stretch every part of your body. I will say the FIRST class is kind of an icebreaker! I wasn’t a big fan the first time. My advice is to go back the very next day! The 2^nd time was like night and day. You definitely get some feel good endorphins after bracing the heat. Honestly the hardest part is just staying in the room. The poses are manageable. Just think yoga in a sauna! It sounds really intimidating but just give it a try. I am an avid runner and spin instructor and I really did enjoy it and reap the benefits. I’m not saying I’m going to permanently drink the kool aid but it’s a fantastic supplement to your other workouts! Open your mind. Check out the Groupon deal — 25 bucks for 30 days!

Well it’s been 2 years since I wrote a review and today’s class with Heather prompted me to update it. This studio is still about one of the best places to practice Bikram yoga around, joined with the sister-​club in West Village. From the front desk staff, to the instructors and the fellow-​yogis practicing around you this is a great experience. Today was a very full class because it was Easter and thus some classes not offered; Heather made it fun and lively. Although there is a certain regimen to follow in a Bikram class, there’s a fun spirit about this place that makes you want to return, again and again. What a blessing to be a part of this yoga community.

I think this place is fantastic. The yoga instructors and front desk ladies are so sweet. I think bikram yoga is great. I started practicing in June and it has changed my life in so many ways. Emotionally, im a lot calmer. Physically, I’m not as in much pain due to my back injury. The only thing Im not a fan of is that this location is really lenient compared to the Richardson location. I think it’s a great place for newbies.

I started with an intro month almost two years ago… The changes and benefits I experienced were huge within the first month alone! The staff and facilities are always clean and welcoming… The studio is a fine community and venue in Dallas. I highly recommend trying either or both studios. Cheers!

I bought $ 25 or $ 29 groupon deal. The studio is clean and the staff is very friendly. But Bikram yoga is not for me. It’s not intense and all the sweat came from the heat, not from the movements. So i went there one time and never go back.

Let me say first off that I do believe Bikram is not for everyone, this cost me $ 50 to learn but its good to know. I purchased the $ 49 groupon, I have been to Vinyasa before, pretty consistently in fact so I’m not totally out of shape and was excited to try this out. My first class the instructor tried to call me out on one of my positions, not cool at all. Be aware of who is brand new to your class and dont berate them, I appreciate that its a class and that they are their to instruct but there are ways of doing this with positive tone and encouragement-​as was my experience the second class I went too, that instructor was great and gave me helpful feedback but I think that’s because she recognized me, I made a point to tell the first instructor that I didn’t appreciate his «direction» after my first class. I’ve been to lots of yoga studio’s in DFW and I find there are two kinds of instructors, the experience yogis and the form yogis-​the experience yogis are those that are full of love and are supportive-​pleasant happy people that want you to enjoy and get the most out of your yoga experience-​Im not saying that they dont take it all seriously, they do, but during the class and after they never make students feel like they are lacking or intimidate them. The form yogis I know are super knowledgeable but they are all about the form and the dedication to the pose and they remind me of drill sergeants which is funny, because the idea behind yoga and the way its supposed to make you feel is kind of the opposite of that. These form yogis are great for those advanced students but its a real downer for people that are new or for people that are perhaps not physically able to do all the poses. The experience yogis are happy to see me and they want me there, I look for studio’s that have this type of instructor=this means the studio needs to have more than one type of class, i.e. beginner or advanced. I find that most studio’s have each type of instructor so you really have to experience and find out which instructor is for you. Unfortunately the form yogis at this studio got me on the first class and he made quite an impression, maybe if I’d had that nice experience yogis twice I’d have gone back a third time. But that coupled with the length of the class turned me off and I did not return.
I think if they had an hour long class I would have been able to use my groupon and hang longer, or a beginner class maybe? The 90 minutes in the hot room was just too much for me so I never went back after my second class, wasted my groupon which leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Both visits afterwards I was sick, I had chills and headaches. I did really liked the movement and the flow and felt like if I could just hang for a few more classes I may actually like it but 90 minutes was just too long. I notice other Bikram places in DFW offer shorter classes so maybe I will try that out at a different studio.

I am probably not the best critic when it come to Bikram Yoga Dallas/​West Village. I have been practicing for over 5 years and is a part of my almost-​daily routine. Since I’ve started, I have noticed a mental calm that I did not have before. It has also greatly improved my scoliosis. I used to only be able to sleep a certain way because of the multiple curvatures in my back. Now, I can sleep in any position and not wake up with back pain!
I’ve noticed that some of the review talk about the instructors being a bit too much like disciplinarians. Though I do think yoga is a discipline (something that will eventually translate into your everyday life), I do not think they are too aggressive. They are giving detailed instructions on exactly how to do the yoga. All of the information they are giving is to maximize your yoga potential.
If you are interested in challenging your mind and body, this is the place for you. If you decide to come, visit their website. There is important information on what to expect on your first day. It will be challenging, but the benefits sooo outweigh any of the challenges in the room.

I was in town for a week and I needed to continue my yoga fix while I was away from California. So about the same reviews for the BY-​Dallas as well as BY-​Richardson. I gave BYD since it was closer.
One major bonus compared to other Bikram locations is that they have wooden floors, which eliminates the moldy smell. The $ 49 for one month was definitely a good steal.
I am bringing this down to a THREE STAR from FOUR STAR only because of the lack of lockers; they’ve insisted that they have never had issues of theft, but does it take an incident to implement lockers? To trust that fellow Yogis won’t go steal is a bit too far-​fetched for me.

I joined Bikram Yoga Dallas 12 days ago and just completed my 8^th class this morning. I have been active my whole life and typically thrive on cardio or sports. I am already seeing changes in both my body, mind and emotional state related to practicing bikram. I have taken classes with 4 different instructors and all have been wonderful, especially Tom who has taught most of my classes. I got to meet one of the owners, Karen, this morning and she was very welcoming and seemed as if she really cared about her students. The atmosphere here is encouraging no matter where you are at in your practice and you’re always being pushed to do your very best. I enjoy being here despite feeling light headed, nauseous or dizzy at some point throughout every class. The prices are very reasonable and I will definitely be signing up for the month to month plan once my intro month expires. The facility is clean and it doesn’t smell bad since they don’t have carpeted floors. I couldn’t have asked for a better Bikram experience!
Things I’ve learned as a new student:
— make sure you bring plenty of water! and with ice in it if possible
— breathe in and out through only your nose when you aren’t doing the breathing exercises and it will be a lot easier
— don’t eat 3 hours before class

Can’t lie, it smells like wet dog in the studio. I thought no one else noticed, but one day an instructor commented on it and I felt so over joyed that someone was bringing it to attention. Not that it needed to be vocalized, we all know the smell is there.
This was another groupon purchase for me. For a cheap month of yoga, it totally fits the bill. Classes are an hour and half long which is divided into two series, a standing series and a seated series. I honestly thought I was going to die in my first class. It really felt never ending, but after that initial one, the 90 minutes seem to go by much quicker.
Classes fill up pretty quickly so its wise to get there before class time, or else you’re scrambling for room in the back. I tend to like staying in the area where I can catch a draft from the exit door. The door of life, the little breezes from others leaving the room feel so good…
It truly is a beating to get yourself to go, unless you’re a true yogi freak, which is ok, I’m not judging. But for me, knowing I’m about to sweat my ass off in a stank ass room for 90 minutes just isn’t appealing. I’m not going to say I «feel one with myself» or any of that hokey pokey stuff afterward, but I do feel pretty good.
I like some instructors over others, but they all follow the same script. They use odd references like a «japanese ham sandwich.» wtf is that? I have no clue. Some instructors get their left and right mixed up. They don’t really move around the room except to prop the door open for a few minutes in between poses. So they aren’t going to fix you if you are in a bad position. I have heard them call out suggestions a few times, but more often than not, just try to listen and do the best you can.
Woman’s dressing room is the far back one, I made the mistake of walking into the men’s and I got an unsightly eyeful. Yick.
If you are an early riser going to their 5:30 class, make sure to be on time! They lock the door at the start of that one and my ass had to go back home after being 2 minutes late.
They have an intro rate as most studios do, give it a try. I don’t really like that they only offer this one type of class but at the same time you can get to know the routine.
