From the reviews

I have been going on and off for 10 plus years. It’s not the most up to date studio throughout but being from Oakland, I love it and wouldn’t expect more. The room is often not as hot as it should be. I’ve reported to Tony who has given credit a few times when it’s been far too cool with no problem.

★★★★☆ — D, Jun 2022

Traditional real Bikram Yoga taught by only certified Bikram instructors who teach only 90 minute true Bikram Yoga classes. Students are dedicated. The space has everything you need. 2 showers. 1 toilet and sink. Changing areas for men and women. There is a water station to fill up your water bottle.

★★★★★ — Robyn, Oct 2022

The studio is quirky and creaky. It's in an old building but it feels warm and welcoming. I enjoyed the class today with Robin. Traditional Bikram hot yoga. Temperature and humidity were just right. I'll be back.

★★★★★ — Robert, Jan 2023

Your first hot yoga class at Bikram Oakland

Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel (or rent them here), water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
