I have been a student at this studio for 9 years. It was recently purchased by new owners and totally redone. It is clean, relaxing and the certified Bikram teachers are WONDERFUL! I agree with many of the comments posted about the old studio. Smelly, dogs, dark and depressing. The NEW studio is wonderful to practice in. You can see palm trees and ocean from the studio. It has been completely renovated and is calming and serene. The YOGA FLOOR is like nothing I've ever experienced. I always worried about stepping on the smelly, sweating carpeting. The NEW yoga flooring is recycled and so cool. The staff is cheerful and bright. There are great yoga clothes, mats, mat cleaner, t-shirts and yogi-toes available to purchase. Every time I go in, I am buying something new. I also enjoy the variety of teachers there. Some classes you get the exact dialogue word for word which sends me into deep meditative practice, other classes go into greater depth of the postures. Sometimes crossing the boundary between yoga practice and every day life. Very poignant and enjoyable for a long time student of Bikram's yoga. I would highly recommend this studio to beginners and advanced students alike. The heat is nice. It is not boiling hot at each class. Rather it is mildly hot and humid, which I tend to prefer. The changing facilities are clean with showers in three bathroom areas. I highly recommend this studio. If you experienced the old studio, you simply must check out what has been done. IT IS AMAZINGLY DIFFERENT. Namaste
