I practiced Bikram regularly for 2 1/2 years, 1 1/2 of those years was at the Hall Street studio before delivering my son. The instructors are friendly and they care about helping the students feel better and have a better yoga practice. When I first started, the heat would get to me but I soon discovered how helpful it is for the stretches and for helping my body to detox. I had been dealing with chronic back pain for nearly 20 years (since my teens) and, after six months, I’ve had little to no back pain since and no chiropractors. Bikram helps me focus better, handle stress better, breathe better and feel great and I can go at my own pace. Everyone in the room is in a different place and are able to hold certain poses better than other poses and thats respected. I did Bikram in the studio with my doctors blessing when I was pregnant (some of the poses are modified for pregnancy) with my son well into my second trimester and then did the Bikram pregnancy yoga video at home every other day through the night before I delivered. Not only did I feel good and have an easy pregnancy at 40 years old while working full time, I didnt experience the typical pregnancy backaches, swollen ankles and feet or fatigue that I had heard and read about. In addition, it helped me through natural childbirth/water birth. Now that my son is a toddler, I am thrilled to be going back to the studio to practice. My cousin who introduced me to it five years ago had been doing Bikram off and on for ten years at the time. She has three kids and practiced at home nearly everyday after her youngest was a few years old. She wouldnt miss it because she feels so good and now that her youngest is in grade school, she goes to the studio in Boise twice a week and still practices at home most all other days as well as working part-time. Bikram yoga is one of the best ways to give back to you that there is. When I do this yoga, I feel more energized, calmer and I centered. I recently went back for the first time in many months and it was almost like I never left. It felt great and Im so grateful for the practice. I hear over and over about people with all sorts of health issues, especially muscular and skeletal issues that they heal through a regular Bikram practice.

Horrible customer service. Rude instructor. Eh studio. This was my first time trying yoga. A friend turned me onto it. The service at this place is very subpar and unorganized. There is no real clear way to do anything. And then they make you feel stupid when you dont know whats going on. The instructor is rude after i was denied entry (more on that in a second) my friend had to do the session alone. He was getting over a cold and did not feel 100% so he left a little early. Instead of the instructor asking what was wrong and if he was ok. He simply told him that this was not a gym you cant leave whenever you want. Back to me being denied entry. So 2 of my friends had bought a Groupon that gives them 10 sessions at a discount for something like $40-50 well had not ever doing any sort of yoga i wanted to try it before i drop down $50. My friend had said that you can get your very first class for like a $1 (guess this was a special they had when they 1st opened.) That sounded awesome. Well i found out that they dont have that anymore instead they have a $15 newcomers thing where you get unlimited sessions for 10 days. Had already come all the way down i bought it. Well i was able to get 3 sessions in and decided i like yoga. I then bought the Groupon and when i bought it i read that you had to have come there before to redeem. But then when you print it out it says that you had to of been inactive for 3months. Well instead of working with me maybe making a one time exception or any number of things they could of done. They simply said no. So I had to leave while my friend who had already gone into the studio so i couldnt let him know i was being kicked out had to do the session alone. So I guess me and my friend will take our business to any number of other yoga studios in the area. And it wont take much to convince my 3rd friend who was coming here to also take her business elsewhere. So because you were unable to make any sort of exception you lost 3 customers. Yikes.

Incredible workout! Life as a stay at home mom can be stressful and unpredictable. It can be hard to make time for yourself, much less get a workout in. This is where Bikram Yoga comes to the rescue! There are lots of classes starting from 6:00 AM all the way to an 8:15 PM class. And for 90 minutes, the super nice, attentive and encouraging instructors help each person get a thorough workout. There is lots of sweating and its not easy, but at the end there is a strong sense of peace and accomplishment. Also, many yoga levels in each class and no judegment. Exactly the opposite, in fact - much support. What I also love about this particular spot is that there is no heavy emphasis on spirituality - more like "this pose is great for your lower back" and "this breathing helps prepare you for a successful workout." Ive taken yoga classes before where there was just not enough of an exercise aspect, so taking classes at Bikram Hall St. has been truly a life changer. Going regularly has helped me face each day with more calm, grace and balance.

I have been taking Sashas yoga class on Tuesday nights an am thoroughly impressed. As a licensed acupuncturist of 10 years I believe strongly in the energetic and transformative of quality of yoga, and having practiced for many years and completed a variety of yoga training courses, I know the difference between an average and superb yoga teacher. Everything about this class, from the sequencing of poses, breathing, queuing and of the guidance and wisdom Sasha shares in this class really becomes a total experience of flow. Even the music(great playlists) seems to follow the buildup and transition of intensity of the class seamlessly. The savasasa at the end of class is effortless as I feel a deep energetic shift happen in class. After practicing in multiple studios in downtown Portland for years, I have had trouble finding the same quality of yoga in the Beaverton area, but shall look no further. I highly recommend this teacher and studio.

The Hall studio has been a great experience all around. Like any new experience it was uncomfortable at first I didnt quite know what I was doing and was often afraid to ask for pointers all though the instructors always encouraged questions after the class. The studio carpet has been a blessing because in other studios I was sliding all over the place I even tried yoga socks but it didnt help. The heaters come all the way down to the floor which keeps the room heated longer especially since often I have noticed at other studios the vents are above you and since heat rises this set up works more efficiently. The staff and instructors have always been friendly especially after getting over my nervousness to ask questions. Bikram yoga has some peticular rituals and it took me some time to figure them out and understand them. But I loves this studio and that is why I push myself to go as much as I can going on four months and counting.
