Bikram Yoga Las Vegas

Bikram Yoga class is AMAZING! it was my first time and I was pleasantly surprised by how refreshed I felt after class. The facilities are super clean! They offer complimentary lockers and showers as well! All the staff was welcoming and friendly.

I have been scoping out new Yoga places since the place I used to go to turned more into a fitness class sort of place, and not much yoga. Bikram is my pick fosho. The prices are reasonable, the yoga room is clean (people say it smells but I didn’t notice), they got showers with shampoo, and conditioner, and fancy little lockers. I paid $ 120 for 10 classes. Apparently they offer some different styles of yoga, though you can’t tell from their website. The website needs updating. I really like how hot and challenging the classes are. I am at a point in my yoga practice now, where most of the classes around town are under the level I would like to be, so not really challenging. If you take a class here be prepared to sweat the most you have ever sweated in your entire life. It’s awesome. Bring water and be prepared to push yourself.

It was a bit stinky and i almost died (from the workout, the stench was manageable) But it was worth it. Was fun, a good experience. It felt like i was standing in the hot streets of India. I can feel the stretches and getting morw flexible. The heat took my mind off of the pain. So perhaps thats what its meant to do. I sweated alot, ALoT, so that was good too. I didnt think i would sweat so much just stretching but you know the room is 120 degrees. Next time i go ill drink lots of water beforehand.
The locker rooms were clean, showers were nice BUT they could add a few mens toiletries like hair gel. Its not very high classed, very basic. They had a really old hair dryer and the handles were broken and felt like there was vaseline on it. Please have someone wipe it down with alcohol. The lockers room was a bit small and if there were more people i might accodentally touch someones package. Because thats how small the locker room was. I also hope they can offer some extra towels in the bathroom.
The people were nice, and the instructor came by to check if i was alright. Nice of her to do in case i fainted. The class was fun.
Not quite a workout. As a guy im used to pumping weights and lifting. This is just a bunch of stretching and anaerobic holds which is also a form of a workout. I dont see how this can make you lose alot of weight in terms of fat burn but it sure makes your sweat glands pee like crazy. Water loss is probably the biggest thing and if you watch your nutrition you can lose weight. But if you just watch your nutrition youd probably lose weight anyways. I did feel more energetic after leaving and my body felt looser. But i probably would feel the same way after an hour of stretching.

Bikram. Beeeeekram! I have a love/​hate relationship with this yoga style, but I decidedly have less love for it after visiting Bikram Yoga Las Vegas last night. Let us begin!
First of all, I had purchased a Groupon because my friend purchased one and I wanted some suffering/​bonding time together, so that is how this journey to LV Bikram began. We showed up last night about 30 minutes before class to check in and the front desk lady, along with the instructor, Jordan, were both very nice and encouraging. Redeeming the Groupon was not an issue at all, paperwork was quick, there was a little one on one conversation about our experience (or lack thereof) with Bikram and some humor. I can appreciate all of that. I really can.
The front desk area, the hallway leading to the locker rooms, and the locker rooms themselves are fabulous. The women’s locker room is clean, spacious, and inviting. I was like «dude, this is awesome. I can totally get behind this». This is where my support for this facility ended, though. Sadly.
We decided to enter the yoga room 15 minutes before, to lay out and question our life decisions, but before said questioning could take place we were hit with a stench so offensive that I nearly called it a night right then and there. My fellow hot yoga warrior and I gave each other «the look». You know «the look» you and your friend give each other that is like a secret language? Yeah.
«The look» first asked «WTF is that smell?» and then said «We are potentially going to die and not from the heat or the postures but the smell».
Look, I get it, people are sweating balls up in here, but really? This was bad. I attended Bikram in Reno once and it did NOT smell like this. Not even close. There is body odor and then there is just repulsive. Just no.
We did get through the class, which was tough but doable. It felt a lot hotter than the Bikram class I had taken before and there was definitely some tough love by the instructor (which I actually don‘t mind and it wasn’t directed at me, so there is that). I did feel nauseated by the smell from time to time and really had to mentally steel myself to get through the 90+ minutes in there. Savasana at the end? WTF is that? No. Get out of the room and quickly. Escape! It was like a prison break.
My advice? If you are sensitive to smell, do not come here. That room needs some serious deep cleaning and by deep cleaning, I mean they should just burn down that entire room and start over from scratch. If you don‘t mind the smell of years of crusted butt cheese, by all means.
Like I said, everyone was rad, but my goodness, I just cannot even. CANNOT EVEN!

Fantastic studio experience! Thank you to everyone that helped make my visit so nice. I stopped by on the second eve of a three-​night business trip. Paperwork/​payment was easy to complete, locker room was clean and gorgeous! The studio is a little stinky but large and filled with light and a stunning mountain view. Your instructor/​front desk folks were welcoming and rad! I really had a great class. It was hot in there! Thanks for checking on me and making me feel welcome as a visiting practitioner. Such nice shower supplies, and thanks for calling me a ride back to my hotel! It was a great experience overall. Thanks, BYLV!

This is one of the best studio’s i have attended. Room is always spot on an teachers are all the most excellent i have seen across the nation really! Practice here I hear from others that have seen there life changed.

I took the hot Vinyasa class with Nikki today. Wow! She is a brilliant instructor. I would recommend this class to anyone who likes yoga or is curious about hot yoga. She is very present in her classes and gives modifications for all levels. I’m highly impressed and cannot stop talking about how amazing this class is –Thank you!

My husband and I stopped in here yesterday to take a class on our way home to Phoenix. The studio and locker room facilities are spacious, clean, and beautiful, the staff is friendly and accommodating, and the class — WOW! The room was much hotter than our home studio which I loved, and our instructor, Ruth, was top notch and amazing. Her timing, humor, and corrections were much appreciated. I thoroughly enjoyed the class. It was the perfect end to a fun weekend in Vegas. Thank you BYLV!!! We will be back the next time we come to Vegas.

This place has bad energy and bad karma. The management and staff are incredibly rude and condescending. Any fitness center like LVAC, 24 hour Fitness, or ALL other yoga studios are much more helpful and deserve the business.

I am a regular Bikram Yogi in Hermosa Beach, CA and was planning a visit to Las Vegas, NV. While in Las Vegas I did not want to miss out on my practice so I began searching out Bikram Yoga studios in the area.
I found a Bikram Yoga studio near my hotel in the Downtown corridor that offered an ‘Out-​of-​Towner’ special. The special included 3 classes, 2 towels (each class), 1 mat (each class) & 1 bottle of water (each class) for $ 70. I knew this was a fantastic deal so I signed up.
Upon arriving at the Downtown corridor studio at 9:00am for the 9:30am class I observed a sign on the door indicating the studio had closed literally the day prior. I was wearing my workout gear and wasn’t ready to head back to the Hotel without getting my sweat on.
I called this studio which is located on Wagon Trail (which was 11.2 miles away) and advised them of my situation. I asked when their next class was, I told it started at 9:30am. I am not that familiar with driving around Las Vegas so another staff member quickly got on the phone and gave me great detailed directions to avoid the morning rush hour traffic.
I drove my buttocks off and arrived 5 minutes later for class at 9:35am. The staff knew I was coming had already setup a mat/​towel for me in the classroom. The staff working the front desk and who assisted me on the telephone advised the instructor that a late arrival was coming.
I arrived and found parking with no problem. This Bikram Yoga studio is located in an industrial section and parking no matter the class size will never be an issue. I walked into this studio and was quickly setup with a locker in the men’s locker room which you could digitally lock your valuables in with punching in a personalized code. After doing so I was escorted to the classroom and my mat for class. Before entering the classroom you are required to take off your shoes/​flops and it was nice to see a shoe rack to keep everything nice & tidy, which I like=)
Luckily for me the class being guided through practice by ‘Frank’ was still in ‘standing deep breathing’ so I didn’t disturb that much, either way I still felt bad for being ‘that guy.‘
I was surprised at how BIG this classroom was, how many students were taking class & how high the ceilings were. I normally practice in Hermosa Beach, CA in a much smaller classroom, lower ceilings and hence much HOTTER (no joke at times in the 120 degree range) but that did not take away from this class, this instruction, this studio and/​or the inner discipline it takes to journey through your practice.
I had a great practice, class was over and now it was time to utilize the facilities I only got a quick glimpse of when rushing to get into class as quickly as possible. I exited the classroom and found separate bins for rented towels, rented mats and even a recycling bin for water bottles on the walk to the locker rooms.
I used the showers which were tiled & extremely clean. The showers were stocked with everything you needed from shampoo to body soap.
After drying off I returned to the front counter/​lobby to pay the $ 70 fee for the services I was already taking advantage of. I thought it was nice that the staff let me into class before taking care of the outstanding balance.
I returned for 2 more classes at 9:30am instructed/​guided by ‘Kimberly’ & again ‘Frank.’ I found the 2 following classes to be just as good and just as challenging as the 1^st class.
If you are traveling with ‘non Yogis’ (yes they do exist) no worries because this studio has got you covered. This studio is equipped with several large couches, coffee table & television (which at the time of my visit had the Bikram Yoga studio rates) displayed on the screen.
My only complaint with this studio is when doing certain stretching poses both of your feet are positioned off towel and on the carpet (which is a tad slippery, especially with wet feet). I am guessing this is to ensure you are sweating on the towel located directly below your core as well as being able to focus on the one mirrored wall.
My local studio used to have students do this as well and I had a similar complaint. I found during my poses while not having feet on a nonslip towel I felt my feet slowly slipping away from each other and had the fear of doing a full on split. My local studio has changed this practice and I hope this studio follows suit.
Even with the minor complaint if/​when I am in Las Vegas again there is no question I will come back here and take advantage of the ‘Out-​of-​Towner’ special. If you are a local and looking for something to challenge you mentally, physically & spiritually look no further than this studio. You simply cannot beat 1 year unlimited for the prices they are offering here.

Bought a groupon and came with friends. I’ve always wanted to try hot yoga because my friends from la were super into it and I’ve always wanted to be more flexible and strong. For 4 bucks a class why not right?
The first time we came they turned us away cause we were late. They have a strict policy where you cannot go in even if you’re 2 minutes late. So get their early, stretch, talk to the instructor etc. It was our fault so no complaints there. We went on the Saturday morning class with MJ. When I walked into the room it didn’t smell that bad. A little musty and stuffy but I’ve smelled much worst on the subway. It’s a big spacious room with mirrors in front and windows on the back. The ceiling had fans that go off periodically during class to provide some much needed cool air. For my first time I loved my experience! The instructor wasn’t pushy. She was encouraging and talked during a lot of it so it made the poses go by faster. I liked the routine a lot especially the floor series cause you go back to savasannah after every pose to rest and relax. The goal of it is to stay in the room for the whole time even if you can’t do the poses. You can rest as often as you want but they encourage you to try everything. I’m super inflexible, can’t even touch my toes but don’t let this discourage you.
I felt so refreshed after the class! The bathrooms are clean and they have showers. I was definitely not afraid to walk around barefoot cause the hallways and back area looked and felt like a spa. I’m so excited to come back for my next classes.
Tips: bring frozen water because it will melt during class. if you bring cold water it will be hot by the end and you will definitely want to drink cold water.
Drink lots of water before the class or else you’ll get really dehydrated and get a headache like I did. Lesson learned.

Went here with a friend b/​c we bought a groupon. I had heard this place had a stench to it, but after reading some recent reviews on Unilocal people said it didnt stink.
QUITE the CONTRARY. If you are sensitive to smell like I am, this place reeks. And im not talking about the front entrance and bathroom/​changing area, im talking about the studio where you spend 90 min in a hot room doing sweaty bikram yoga poses. It really made me nauseated the whole time. And im not the kinda of person who walks out of the room during classes but I had to step out 3x to get the stench away from my nose. The smell as soon as you walk into the studio is a mixture of wet dog, human Body Odor and wet clothes that havent been dried completely. They do have doors to the studio but it doesnt look like they air it out or clean the carpet that everyone sweats their entire body weight in sweat onto the carpet. When my friend and I were doing poses, we slipped on the carpet because probably from the previous class, the carpet was SOAKED in human sweat. It was to the point where when we left, my yoga matt was soaked through and through with wetness.
From my previous experiences at a Bikram studios, my yoga matt has never been soaked like that! And for those of you who think it was my sweat, think again! I even had a thick towel over it while doing my poses.
I am only giving this studio a 2 star rating bc of the SMELL alone.
As for everything else, I would have given it 4 – 5 stars. The receptionist was nice and friendly. It was clean and it didnt smell. They had a assortment of drinks and yoga stuff for sale (outfits, mats, etc). Also the bathroom was soooo pretty!
I wish I had taken a picture (but due to privacy of all the ladies in the bathroom i couldnt capture a shot). The chandelier in the bathroom was gorgeous. Many many stalls with lockers that you dont even need to bring a lock for, and it is class A– Super CLEAN. They also allow kids and they give you this cute card to keep track of your classes/​account.
Also the instructor was fanstastic (forgot her name) — seems brazilian. She was super encouraging and helpful and went around the class fixing everyone posture discreetly instead of calling people out. She also came up to me at the end of the class to ensure I was ok, as well as through out the class b. c I was so Nauseated by the smell.
The weird things is that one of the water fountains were broken at the time I was there and the one that is working is so strong that the water Spills ALL over the ground which creates a nasty puddle in the hallway space leading to the bathroom.
I have 9 more classes here and I dont know how im going to get over that SMELL/​STENCH. I have to say, it does get a little better during the class for whatever reason. But as soon as the class is over and everyone is out, the SMELL IS HORRENDOUS. I know they can fix the smell/​clean the carpet, they just dont or they dont do it often enough.
This place has so much potential but that stench makes it subpar.

I first started Bikram here with a one month trial and absolutely loved it! But due to scheduling issues I decided to try a Class pass and explore other gyms. After trying many other gyms I am fairly certain that this gym is the best.
First off it’s clean– very clean and high end. The showers are spa like. And the floor is soft which takes a lot of stress off your knees.
The staff is very friendly and encouraging. Positive atmosphere all the time. I was always encouraged to take my time leaving. Extra time to stretch and meditate after class is always available.
Diverse group of people from beginners to experts to 70 yr olds who have a 20 yr old body (must be all the yoga). This is NOT a judgy gym.
Overall I would recommend this gym to anyone. I always leave this class feeling 10x better then when I came in.
I just wish their 3:30 class started at 4:00

I would like to update my review on this place because I would like to give a shutout to my current favorite instructors. I started last year for 3 months and only recently gotten back this month again. There are still some senior instructors there that I remember from last year and most of them are great.
Lately I’ve been frequenting certain instructors like: Olga Zadorozhnaya, Ruth Limon, Vladimir Lacas, Markie Henderson, & Frank Gatmant– they’re all very motivating and far from being a bikram Nazi, snob. I remember my very first time last year, I almost wanted to quit because of a certain instructor who rudely yelled at me in front of everyone as if I’m a freaking child for drinking on one of his none «designated» drinking time (it was my freaking 2^nd day!) I was glad to see him go permanently only to find out this month that he’s back again LOL BUT at least I can just avoid his class.
There’s a new class that they have added called Dharma flow and I actually really like it. Plus it wasn’t as packed in there. The only cons is that each class starting 0900 seems to be so ridiculously packed due to other studios closing, so everyone comes this place instead. Nonetheless, it’s a beautiful, clean studio w/​an awesome staff.

Bikram is an acquired taste. For some; uni, durian, or climbing Mount Doom might be an equivalent to talking this 90 minute class. Have you ever asked yourself, «why the hell am I doing this to myself?!» That is how I used to feel about Bikram. In fact, I enjoyed the three things I listed previously above Bikram for quite some time. It was only recently that I gave the 26 poses a second chance and have come to really appreciate it. With running half marathons, my hamstrings have become tight. I have found that attending classes regularly has helped with the jelly legs after a long run, has improved my breathing, and I have more energy for the rest of my day.
I have been to a few other Bikram studios and have never stuck it out pass two classes. At this location, I have been five times in the last week. It is an investment to your health. A drop in class is $ 20 and first time visitors get a trail of two classes for that price. You just have to return within the same week. Instead of paying each time I came, I just sucked it up and purchased the $ 499 for a year. This is not always going, but they do run this special a few times a year. Trust me, once it becomes a habit, it makes more sense to just spend the money upfront. They also have a two month special for $ 149 and a four month special for $ 249.
The studio and facility is well kept and clean. The major complaint for most people is the smell of the practice room. It is definitely not as bad as the other studios, but you will never be able to escape the smell of sweat in a carpeted room. The locker room has basic toiletries.
The staff is what makes the studio enjoyable. I have taken classes with Jordan, Michael, Nita, and Summer. Each one brought me to a different place within my practice and pushed me to challenge myself.

I got a groupon for 10 classes and it is so worth it. Its definitely a great experience for newbiesand pros alike. I took my first class the other day and I understand what all the hype is about. I went to Sheri’s class and she was very informative, constructive and overall she’s one of the best. When I use up all my passes from my groupon I plan on getting one of their packages. Yay for Bikram Yoga!
Tips:
Bring a large towel and a mat
Bring a big water bottle
Be prepared to sweat!!!
It’s a mental experience so relax and enjoy it.
The instructors are amazing and they are very helpful.
You CAN do it!

Oh geez…
I have done bikram before, but it has been many years since my last time. I kept looking at the clock thinking it was broken. The first 45 minutes went by painfully slow for me! Lots of things were going through my mind like «crap, I’m stuck in here, maybe I can just walk out. Why did I do this? «along with many other expletives.
First off the instructor, John, was extremely nice and patient and very encouraging. It felt like he talked fast at first, but you get used to it. He was so accommodating to the newbies. He was very kind and funny and helped the time go by.
Second, the studio was extremely clean. Nice lockers and showers and bathrooms.
Everything about the studio from the staff to the cleanliness was great. Haven’t decided if I’ll be back or not but if I do decide to do bikram again it will be here.

Today I’d like to give a little shout-​out to all the awesome instructors starting with JORDAN TUCKER! and Sherri, Kimberly, Nita, and everyone else!
I love that you guys help us improve every week and that you call us out when you know we can do better. That’s why I come back!
I’ve read all the comments on here about the instructors not being «spiritual enough» or the room being «too hot.» I’ve never had an issues with any of these things, and I like to consider myself fairly «in-​tune.» I think people like to use excuses for not pushing the max: the teachers, the heat, their towel, the rug, whatever. I’m totally guilty of doing the same in the past.
Guess what? There are tons of outside elements in life that you can’t control, and you still must try to progress. Why would a tough ass Bikram yoga routine be any different?! I don’t come to this class because it’s easy, I come because it’s hard. And to the one reviewer that called this «lazy yoga»…you weren’t doing the postures correctly. I thought the same thing my first week of class.
If this class is the ONLY thing I do in the entire day, I would feel accomplished.
Thank you guys for being part of my weekly meditation!

Bikram Yoga, the kind of yoga that makes most people recoil in horror when mentioned. You
either love it or hate it; my feelings about it are complicated. My Bikram practice has been off and on for about three years and this is the third studio, and nicest, in the valley that I’ve visited for classes.
What’s a Bikram yoga class like?
— the studio is heated to 105 degrees and kept at 40% humidity
— 90 minutes long
— 26 poses and 2 breathing exercises. The class is led by an instructor who talks students through the 90 minutes of class.
— SWEAT. There’s a lot of it from you and all the people around you.
— Feelings of dizziness and nausea are normal. I’ve seen people leave class after ten minutes because they can’t take the heat, literally. BUT, I’ve never, ever seen anyone pass out, even though that feeling has crept up on me before.
Bikram yoga has been described as militant because the same 26 poses are taught by certified Bikram teachers using the same dialogue/​script. After taking classes for this long, I’m used to the script and don’t consider it that weird anymore, even though I still don’t know if my body looks like a Japanese ham sandwich in hands-​to-​feet pose. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Japanese ham sandwich; is it that different than an American ham sandwich?
Bikram Yoga Las Vegas is super clean and the studio itself doesn’t smell like dirty feet, even with all those sweaty bodies in one place for so long. There are free lockers in the ladies’ room. The staff is friendly and, best of all, John Salvatore teaches at this location. Mr. Salvatore is part of the «Jersey Boys» cast and I’ve had the pleasure of being his student at another studio in town. He teaches classes with humor and energy, but also with a lot of heart, ever respectful of how this yoga practice can revitalize and renew the spirit. He also brings his theater background into class, flipping the Bikram script upside down; it’s hard not to laugh when you’re trying to concentrate on some of the harder poses. You should take his class at least once. Yes, every time I go, I have to get mentally ready for 90 minutes of heat and stretching. I make sure I don’t eat for at least three hours before class, lest the meal makes a reappearance during Triangle Pose. I’m not bendy or flexible like other people in the classes; I still have to modify some of the poses because of tight hamstrings. I sometimes still feel dizzy and feel like I’m going to keel over. But, I keep coming back because there’s nothing like the feeling of having completed another session in one piece, having sweated out at least two pounds of water, with a friend or two suffering/​practicing next to you. I actually do feel revitalized and renewed. And, Bikram Yoga Las Vegas is the location I choose to practice this crazy, controversial, but personally fulfilling type of yoga.
*If you want to try it for yourself, Bikram Yoga Las Vegas offers classes for $ 7 every 3^rd weekend of the month. Maybe I’ll see you next month at John’s class. Check the schedule on their site:
Namaste.

Unilocal 100 Challenge: ³²⁄₁₀₀
26 postures. 90 minutes. 105° room at 40% humidity. Prepare to sweat like a pig! The heat is intense. There will be times during class when you’ll be wondering why you’re doing this to yourself. You might even question your own sanity.
This is what was bouncing around my head on my first class back…
What’s wrong with me? Why am I doing this again?
I’m crazy. I’ve literally lost my mind.
Ewwww. I’m still sweating.
I’m going to pass out.
Why can’t I bend like that?
Water! Water! Water!
I’m going to do this again tomorrow?!
Make no mistake about it– Bikram will be one of the most intense workouts you will ever do. It will also be one of the most rewarding things you will ever do. This is why I keep coming back for more.
I’ve hopped around to various ‘hot yoga’ studios in the Vegas area. What I’ve learned is that the right instructor can make all the difference in the world. I am happy to report that every instructor I’ve had has been very supportive, motivating, and uplifiting. They go out of thier way to make sure sure everyone feels welcomed and even make a point to learn your name.
The studio is gorgeous. It’s squeaky clean and updated with Flotex Eco-​Carpet. Why is that awesome? This is the ONLY studio that doesn’t have the ‘Funky Bikram Smell’ that I’ve experienced at other studios. Yep, you heard that right. NO. FUNKY. SMELLS. Yippee!
Their locker room is clean and modern. No need to bring a padlock to class. You can easily program your own code and your personal items are easily secured in your choice of lockers. They also provide toiletry items if you prefer to shower and primp on-​site.
Hands down, this is my favorite place for Bikram. I’m a loyal customer and will contunue my Bikram journey at this studio. If you’re looking to give it a whril, come here. When you’re ready to check this place out, I highly suggest visiting their website to view their new student tips so you can properly prepare.
Namaste.
