Bikram yoga is a system of poses designed for beginners, but so wonderfully complete it appeals to students of all levels. Out of thousands of yoga poses, Bikram chose 26 beneficial for all bodies.

The basic postures are practiced in a heated room which promotes flexibility, improves circulation, and provides a detoxifying effect. The benefits are amazing, and include fat and weight loss.

Tired of fake hot yogas, this one is real!
by keelypritt at Citysearch
I have been practicing Bikram yoga for several years, and have tried out all of the hot yoga studios in the area. I always come back to this one because the others end up changing the series. It seems like studios are turning up the heat and calling it hot yoga to capitalize on hot yoga's popularity, when in fact what they offer has nothing or little to do with the Bikram series. I have learned to trust the studios that have Bikram in their name.
Bikram Yoga Bellevue consistently offers Bikram's 26 postures. If you ask me, they provide the right environment too. Not too hot (I have heard of some studios climbing to over 120 degrees!) and not too cold (some studios are in fact a 90 degrees warm. ) I believe these guys are aiming for 105 degrees and 50% humidity, and doing a great job!
Yes, you are supposed to wait for water breaks, but I don't mind this. It helps keep me focused. I also know that Bikram yoga is not about modifying postures, or using towels for grips or other props. One of the teachers here says that the therapy and benefits come in trying the right way to the extent your body allows, and I find this very motivating!
I'm addicted to Bikram yoga. Nothing makes me feel(or look) better. I'll keep going to Bikram Yoga Bellevue because I think they are doing a fantastic job, plus they offer true Bikram classes every two hours!
- Pros: Real Bikram yoga, lots of classes every day
- Cons: It's addicting

I was going to switch back but...

This studio has really gone downhill. I wonder if it's had a change of owner. I love its location but cannot see myself wasting my time or my money with a place which does not hold the temperature or the humidity to the Bikram standard. A real shame and disappointment.
- Pros: Location
- Cons: NOT HOT!

What happened to "HOT" Bikram yoga??
by Ciciyoga at Citysearch
I used to love this studio, but I'm afraid it is not the same anymore. The heat is constantly off - I mean OFF!! If you want to try "warm" Bikram yoga, this is your place. They also started to use the fans A LOT more recently, which only make things worse. I've never been to a studio where the fan is on more than the heater is...
Whatever temperature humidity monitor they are using, it is definitely not working. Or if it is, the instructors will need to learn how to read the number correctly and remember the recommended temperature is 105F degrees and 40% humidity, which I've not experienced for quite a while. With more studios opening up in Redmond and Seattle, they will lose business quickly if they don't make some changes SOON.
I may come back to check them out again in a couple of months. But for now, I'm taking my business somewhere else where I can feel the heat and really SWEAT! :-)
- Pros: Lots of classes, free parking
- Cons: Missing HEAT!!!
