I went here for a "Bikram" class, and it was a pretty bad experience.
First of all, they played REALLY LOUD MUSIC. And it wasn't even yoga-friendly music. It was loud country and pop..
There is no music allowed in Bikram yoga. You're supposed to focus on the dialogue and the breath.
Also the teacher didn't stick with the Bikram dialogue. It didn't seem like he was an actual qualified Bikram teacher.
Unlike some of the other reviewers here, I don't mind adjustments, love adjustments, so I wasn't bothered by that.
The teacher, Johnny, also seemed like a pretty friendly person, who loves teaching and is popular with his students. So it's a bit tough leaving a not-so-good review here, but I wouldn't want any other experienced Bikram practitioner to come into this studio not knowing that this isn't a normal Bikram beginner class.
If you want to teach Bishnu-Gosh inspired yoga poses with music, then call it Hot Hatha.. But don't call it Bikram yoga. That's just flat out misleading!! There are some general principles in Bikram yoga that this studio is clearly not following.
