From the reviews

A very traditional & strictly 90 minute bikram studio with perfect heating & humidity. I only visited once while in LA area & had an amazing practice with Mark. Studio is small but very cozy with beautiful large window & all around mirrors.

Absolutely love this studio. Although I'm in Louisville Kentucky but when I come to Los Angeles I always go to bikram's yoga College of India. Today's teacher was Mike and he's fantastic. I am staying for a few more days so I am hoping to stop by 1 or 2 more times 🌴😆🧘🏻‍♂️

★★★★★ — Directedbyelias, Oct 2021

I've been doing yoga at this studio for the past 2 years regularly since 2018. This practice has added a lot of value to my personal growth and physical well being. I do spiritual life coaching and yoga practice is a must for keeping me grounded. This studio is clean, convenient, and has great vibe to it.

★★★★★ — Rod, Mar 2020

One of my favorite Bikram yoga studios in Los Angeles County. My favorite instructor is Mark. He really fine tunes the poses for each person. I highly recommend this studio if you want to feel the best you have in your life, especially after traumas and for anti-aging.

Your first hot yoga class at Bikram's Yoga College of India

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 to around ~105°F, 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, water, and a change of clothes — there are showers on site; 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.
