text: i have been practicing regular yoga for a few years off and on and tried out bikram for a couple months over the summer i even went seven times in the first ten days and it did help me feel better overallnnso the facilities at this studio are really great the room is huge and has a soft floor that soaks up all the sweat so there are not giant puddles everywhere the air flow and circulation are really great even though its super hot and humid the air does not feel stale or stagnantnnalthough i honestly feel that going to this bikram practice helped my shoulder begin the recovery process from a pretty serious injury i do not think bikram is the practice for me even at this placenni go to yoga for the zen aspects and to help build overall strength and flexibility bikram basically is just holding stretches not necessarily challenging your strength and just because you are sweating does not mean you are getting the workout of a lifetime it just means the room is degreesnnone negative aspect of this place is the instructors they act like this is a boot camp workoutnnstraighten your legnnSTRAIGHTEN YOUR LEGnnSTRAIGHTEN YOUR EFFING LEG nneach repetition of phrases like this would get louder and actually more MEAN sounding and btw that was said to the whole class not just to me individuallynni know i might come off as snobby here but i do not really like many of the peopleclients who practice here many people are soooo inconsiderate of others practices i guess that goes to how this is more a trendy fitness bootcamp then a zen yoga practice some people leave and come back multiple times during class they say not to when the practice is over i like to take a few extra moments in shavasana to collect myself but a bunch of people jump up to leave immediately nothing wrong with that but they make so much noise rolling up their mats and just leaving the room not respecting others practices also i got sweat dripped more like poured on me when someone walked right over me with their sweaty matnnand they talk about this bikram guy like he is the second jesus but it just seems like the whole thing is all about money
