User Reviews for Bikram's Yoga College of India
11/26/2006 Posted by yoganut
i tried my 1st & last class on a FRI @ 5. i thought that it would be really busy so i got there @ 4:15 to be sure to get a spot before it was full & they closed the class. upon arrival, i walked in & was ignored by the desk staff. i finally said "hello! i'm a 1st timer here." she gave me a blank look & said, have you done bikram yoga before? yes. ok fill out the form. so i do, she gives me a member card after accepting my cash & tells me to go set up. not where the locker rooms were or the studio, even though she knew i had never been there before. she then starts bickering with another employee about an incident that occured earlier, not the environment you seek for yoga. anyhow, i find the locker rooms & studio, & when i get in to set up the room is pretty full. there is very limited space and only about 2 ft between each mat, not enough to be arm's length apart. as the time gets closer to 5, more and more people show up, & the staff keeps packing them in. when other 1st timers started to come in, they ask "is there enough room?" "oh there's plenty of room" as the staff move mats closer and closer together until they are practically touching! some of the other people left the class because it was so jam packed, and they just put more people in their place. some of us were actually against the wall & could not do the poses properly, or at least any of them that requires bending to the right. we were so close to one another that we couldn't move w/o touching one another. it was horrible!! i think they care more about the money for the # of people than the practice itself. it was truly an insult to the yoga community. on top of it, the instructer was not specific with the poses and many were doing them incorrectly. i am sure she couldn't possibly see everyone, and everyone couldn't see themselves in the mirror. she said nothing of the benefits of each posture. it was more of a scene than a practice. i give it a 1 for decor, but everything else was a nightmare!
Pros: the decor was nice, candles, gift shop
Cons: the room was too small for the number of people they took in, staff was unfriendly
