I'm not the type of person that typically leaves reviews, but the instructor Jimmy has changed my life. I'm hooked on yoga because of him.
I had never taken a yoga class before, but was looking for something different to do with my girlfriend, so we decided to go for a class. "Hot yoga" for a complete beginner is tough place to start a yoga journey. I didn't think that I would get through the class, in part because I am 42 years old and am extremely inflexible. And the heat was real. I got through the 90 minutes though and was completely drained. But I woke up the next morning feeling better than I had in years. I credit that totally to Jimmy and his amazing instruction and passion for yoga. After that first class, I took a class everyday for 5 days, before I had to fly back to Georgia.
If you are looking for a hot yoga studio in Fort Myers, I am convinced that this is the place for you. Jimmy has taught me a lifestyle that I can use to improve my health, and I am FOREVER grateful. He will inspire you to push yourself and to constantly improve. He makes sure that your poses are correct and precise (to the best of your individual ability), and he will make sure that you get the full benefits of the practice. Finding Jimmy's studio was absolutely one of the 3 best things that's happened to me in all of 2019. I am confident that I will reap the rewards of yoga for years to come. Thank you so much, Jimmy.
This Bikram yoga school is the best of the best. Jimmie Ji is an amazing teacher and the class will change your life physically and emotionally. This yoga will push you to become more than you thought you could be and you can overcome any medical problems with regular practice. I highly recommend you try a class. You will be hooked!
This is a Bikram Yoga school, first and foremost. Jimmy Ji can and will change your life if you get out of your own way. He is like no other instructor you'll ever experience and he has only the highest expectations for every student. The discipline is real, the life changes are real: mental, physical, emotional and spiritual. I've seen them up close and personal in myself and many others through over nine years of practice, and this school offers the most honest, serious and properly disciplined instruction you'll ever receive. It is certainly not an easy practice and it's up to you decide to drop your doubts, kill your ego, attentively listen, and try the right way. There is no coddling, nursing, sweet-talk or shoulder rubs at Jimmy's school. This is real deal Bikram Yoga. And, because of that commitment to excellence, the collective energy and strength of the students here is like nothing I've ever personally experienced in any other yoga venue, ever. It's a brilliant and I will be forever grateful to be a student here.
I enjoy this place tremendously. Its a challenge, It put my body to the test yet at the same time I enjoyed every moment. Jim is great instructor with a passion for the Art of Bikram yoga. He helps guide you on your journey and pushes you to your full potential so that you can achieve the full benefits. If your looking for a challenge this a great one!
This yoga studio changed my life. I started with Bikram Yoga Fort Myers almost two years ago. I had an old back injury that was giving me trouble, and when I came I could barely walk. Now, I'm climbing fourteeners and going on six-hour hikes. I feel so lucky to have found Jim and his studio. If you're thinking about trying Bikram here, don't hesitate.
Great school, great teacher. Doing this practice has changed my life. Thank you Jimmy Ji for your guidance.
I have been with the Ft Myers studio for over 8 years. It has changed my health immensely! Jim is an authentic teacher who is always pushing you to achieve your best health. Heat is always right and there are plenty of great people who practice there!

I've been practicing Bikram Yoga for 12 years. I started in 2006 at Bikram Yoga Fort Myers, became a teacher, and have been teaching for over 10 years. I've practiced and taught at several studios over the years. Serious practitioners of Bikram will love this school, it's one of the last remaining authentic studios in the world. Overall, Bikram studios are run as schools, rather than traditional businesses. The schools are not meant to be run like a restaurant, store or spa. Jim works hard to create an atmosphere where students are able to cultivate discipline. Many beginners or outsiders may see this discipline as authority-driven, stifling, or militant. Staying in the room, moving with others, being still between postures, not wiping, limiting water intake; are all aspects of the practice that make students mentally and physically stronger. Because of his commitment to the integrity of this system, I have enjoyed massive benefits! As far as the smell, every true Bikram studio has a carpet, rather than hard floors, because carpet is more forgiving on joints. Although less than ideal, the smell of sweat is part of every studio I have ever visited. Great system, studio, teachers and students!!!!

Terrible CS, never replied to emails. Not recommended
I have practiced Bikram at studios all over the country. This place was DIRTY. Usually in Bikram, you have to overcome the heat to stay in the room. At this place, it was the smell. Horrible. Plus there were ants all over. By the end, I had dead ants stuck to my skin. I do not recommend this studio.

The Real Deal...this school is the most authentic Bikram school I have ever attended and I have been to many. The owner, Jim Mahon, gives every bit of his heart and soul in order to guide his students through this very challenging system and he does so with the discipline of a traditional Bikram Teacher, but with compassion as well. Carpet is traditional and necessary in order to perform the postures in the correct way, I have never been offended by any smells in this school, it is well maintained and very clean. If you want real health from a scientific system, not a fad, then this is the school for you and the Teacher you want to learn from.

Wonderful, fun, extremely challenging and HOT! I like the owner. He's different but that's what makes it interesting. Those complaining of the "smell". It's really not that bad. What do you expect? I enjoyed it and will be returning! Those of you who are nervous to try it just come! You'll be surprised!
The studio smelled awful, the use of carpets for a hot yoga sequence is totally uncleanly, and the instructor, Barry, was inappropriate, unprofessional, and honestly, just not a qualified yoga practitioner. Would not recommend this studio to anyone and will certainly never be going back.
At 64 years of age and starting to lose my health, I decided take up Bikram yoga. Instead of using a cane to help me get up in the morning, I am now springing out of bed, well rested and full of energy. Jim is very helpful in modifying the poses as I get back into shape. He seems to care about the students' health. My flexibility is returning, and my bad knees are much better. The studio is clean and all the students seem to encourage each other. Bikram's system is a journey into self realization and a great way to get to know how your body can exceed your expectations. Some days improvements are small, some days you make a breakthrough in both strength and flexibility. Instructors Lindsey and Jim are very encouraging. You are urged to do the poses correctly, just to the edge of your pain, and allow your body to gradually get better. They stress proper form to prevent injury. For me it is turning into a complete method to improve and maintain my health. I am getting a lot closer to being able to keep up with my 5 year old grandson! Thanks Jim.
Friends practicing yoga with friends is a great description of the Bikram Yoga Fort Myers studio. New to the SW Florida area and new to an official Bikram yoga studio, I found the Bikram Yoga Fort Myers studio director, staff, and students to be encouraging, kind, and generous. Experienced Bikram students will fit right in. New students, visitors, and snowbirds are equally welcomed.
The studio is new, spacious, clean, and fresh. The temperature is hot. Mats and towels are available for rent and water and fluids are available to purchase. Changing rooms have clean showers with great water pressure. Classes are well organized and offered at convenient times every day of the week.
Jim Mahon, studio director, teaches most classes and puts a great deal effort into teaching and guiding students through a safe and challenging yoga practice. He expects each individual student to work to the best of their ability and the overwhelming majority of students do just that. I have never seen such a large group of men and women of all ages participate in such challenging and vigorous yoga on a regular basis. Jim and my fellow students inspire me to give my best at each and every practice.
Thank you Jim and friends - you are the best!
