This yoga studio has a ton of classes. Unless you have a really bizarre or super busy schedule, you'll always be able to make a class. The variety of classes is also great and not all of them are 90 minutes, which is nice. I highly recommend hot pilates (60 minutes) or Vegas Hot 90X (60 minutes of hot pilates, 30 minutes of yoga). I took advantage of a groupon which gave me 60 days unlimited for $45. Groupons are for new customers only. They are good about taking the groupon and don't single you out in any way because you are a Groupon customer.\n\nAll hot yoga/bikram studios should have their flooring. It looks like a bunch of rubber bands. It doesn't smell bad and is never wet, even when a class just sweated all over the place. So much better than carpet. A little tough on the feet, but stay on your mat and you should be fine.\n\nThe check in system is pretty cool. They give you a little plastic card for your keychain with a barcode. You scan that everytime you come in and then select the class you want on the screen. Then you need to sign in on a sign in sheet as well (for liability reasons?). \n\nThey have free water from a dispenser, which is nice. Just bring your own bottle. This probably should be a requirement in all of these hot yoga studios. You don't want someone passing out because they didn't want to pay $2.50 for a bottled water or a monthly fee for \"water service.\" \n\nClasses can get pretty crowded in the evenings. Mornings are much better. They play music in a lot of the classes or before and after the classes, which is different. Some of the music is pretty strange. I swear I heard a rock version of Hare Krishna. The clients are pretty noisy, especially in the evenings, so don't expect a peaceful environment. It's like a crowded coffeeshop before and after class with all the chattering.\n\nThe instructors don't really get on your case if you have to skip a pose or exercise. They encourage the class in general, say inspirational things, and given one-on-one corrections as needed. But they don't get in your face, which I appreciate.\n\nThey use some poses that are similar to Bikram but for the most part it is a lot of dog poses. Make sure you know your basic poses and what they are called. They have you do them over and over again and again. And they don't really walk you through it. They expect you to know down dog, up dog, child's pose, etc. without explaining it. You can always look around and copy someone, but sometimes your neighbor will be just as confused as you. \n\nBetween the locker rooms, there is a box with different slots for tips for the different yoga instructors. I've never seen such a thing in my life and I'm not sure what to make of it. I only tipped a few bucks if the class was amazing. You can also tip online so they are definitely big on the tipping thing.\n\nThe locker room is a decent size with nice showers. Still not big enough to handle the onslaught after a crowded class, but still. They have blow dryers and a vanity area to use. And three restrooms! Hallelujah! Most yoga studios only have one.\n\nIt's pretty far from my house and pretty expensive without a groupon so I'm not sure I can make it consistently. Another issue is that there is always some drama going on. If you want to keep up with it, follow the yoga studio on Facebook. Every so often an employee will freak out, post something on Facebook, get all the followers and clients riled up, then apologize. Or just quit. They lost a bunch of good instructors recently. Plus they keep changing the schedule so check the schedule online before you go. This was the main reason for freakouts.\n\nParking and entrance are located in the back. They did offer kettlebells and Zumba (not hot, thankfully) but those classes are suspended until October while they redo the room.
