The very best, what are you waiting for? I waited to try this, you shouldn't.

love this yoga studio because it is spacious and always clean. the teachers are really friendly and very supportive.
One of my favorite Bikram spots in New York. If you're looking for a no frills spot with attentive instructors this is the place. The more popular times can get crowded so you will have to get there early to get the spot you want. The instructors are very attentive and tend to know your name just after one session. Compared to some of the bigger studios in New York, I find that the instructors here really help you improve your practice.
Amazing studio!! Awesome staff & instructors.
This was the best yoga experience I have had. The people are down to earth.real. I'm a beginner and i didn't feel intimidated by the advance level of others. The teacher Pamela was encouraging. The owner was very nice and welcoming as with the rest of the staff. Ill be a long time member definitely.
Summary: Tricia is arrogant and talks about students behind their back.
Long story:
My first impression of the studio was OK. The instructor (Tricia, who is also the owner I believe) was there to greet my mother and I. We were first timers to this studio but not new to yoga.
I went ahead and let her know about my mother's knee injury, to which she asked "Are you an instructor?" I am actually finishing my yoga certification this year, and was flattered and impressed that she picked up on it.
Bikram is not my favorite yoga. In fact, I quite hate it. I go because it is good to push the body to sweat and stretch to that level. I didn't particularly enjoy the class for that reason, which is completely not Tricia's fault. Bikram teachers teach from a script, so Tricia recited almost the exact same thing u get from every other Bikram class. However, while we were all in a lying down posture (face down), I readjusted and caught Tricia admiring herself in the mirror. I thought that was a little strange for someone who's there to lead us on a journey.
Here's the good (bad) part. After class, Tricia decided to start a conversation with my mom. She sent my mom an email afterwards, thanking her for coming. I did not get an email, so I assume this was not an auto-generated thing. My mom replied politely. Tricia then proceeds to comment on ME. To my mother. Sharing some very personal details that she "could see" in me, both positive and negative. And then she tells my mom that she wants to teach me yoga.
Here's my thing: yoga is sacred. It is personal. Any emotional stuff you pick up from a student is to be kept private. Regardless of her good intentions, I'm extremely offended that my spiritual journey was discussed with anyone but me! And worse, she emailed my mother.
As an aspiring yoga professional, this has taught me the sensitivity we must hold towards each other in the yoga space. Tricia, I really hope you make better decisions regarding your students privacy in the future. Had you truly been so concerned and helpful, I would've received an email from you saying so. I never did.

I support Bikram LES upholding a strict on time and cellphone-free (quiet and focused!) practice. It's as it should be, free of stress and distraction from others. I have practiced Bikram in NYC for a few years now and LES easily has the best energy and instruction. Tricia and co have done an amazing job curating a professional, welcoming and ego-free environment. Classes can fill up but that's bc they're worth going to. I've never had a problem bumping into others. Facilities are functional and clean. Heat is present, but not deathly. Overall, Bikram is not easy. It's beyond a workout and I would highly recommend all to visit LES for practice.

Great no-frills spot to come for beginners, all the instructors are really friendly and welcoming and there's a real sense of community. Not a posh or lux experience, just a lot of people who want to get sweaty! Completely unpretentious--a great place to get your sweat on and meet some new friends while you're at it!
