Back in town and back to Bikram Charleston! I can't go four days without a class so yesterday I took another Bikram 90, this time with Sam. I wondered if it was just me that thought it was a killer class, but once back in the ladies' locker room was reassured when even long time members felt the same! Sam was great and tough- she speaks a LOT faster than I am used to at home, but the moves were 99% familiar to me now, after six months (vs only a month when I was here last), though with some variations on things like Tree pose that I have in all classes at home. Sam had the same personal/name using touch that Ann Lane did last year (I was sad that she wasn't on the schedule but hope she is well and still teaching somewhere!). Much appreciated as an infrequent flyer. Still $20 a class and still more than worth it. I am coming off a back injury so I may do another 90 or possibly a Bikram 75 before we leave tomorrow night...being in class is really when my back feels its best! Definitely a super studio. read more

It's the BEST place on Earth!! This incredibly clean, most inviting studio in Mt. Pleasant offers healing from the inside out with the Bikram practice. They also offer a Flow (Vinyasa) Class plus a HIIT In The Heat Class! Yoga at its BEST!!!!! ‍ read more

We were visiting from Massachusetts. We signed up for Yin Yoga/Nidra. The studio was great. I loved how the floor had lines painted on it to delineate how mats should be lined up! Our instructor was fabulous. The only negative was that the room was extremely warm. read more

Love this yoga studio, the owner is amazing, I do Bikram Yoga 3 times a week and today I tried HIIT with Charelle, it was so much fun and Charelle is amazing... read more

Beautiful studio. Clean facilities. Excellent teacher.

After nine years, it's better than ever. And the new building is just beautiful. All the teachers are great. I learned something new each time. read more

This place, this practice, these people, have changed my life. I am relatively young (only 33) and have suffered from extreme neck and back pain for the last 3-4 years. I have probably spent over $3000 on chiropractic care and was going, on average, to the chiro 2 times a week (sometimes 5 times!). After only 2 weeks of Bikram yoga I have been pain and chiro free for 5 months now!! Bikram yoga is the original hot yoga and I cannot say enough about it! It IS hot, by definition (100 degrees and 50% humidity) so don't go if you don't like to sweat. However, the sweat that comes off you is extremely cleansing and you will feel wonderful after the class. I travel for work and have been to other Bikram studios around the country. This one is really the best I've been to. The studio is beautiful, modern and clean, and the instructors are amazing. They are encouraging and wonderful people, and are clearly dedicated to this practice (as we should all be). I love it and only regret that I travel so much that I cannot make this a part of my daily life, yet. Please go and check it out, I hope it helps you as much as it has me!! :) Also, this is the only studio I've been to that gives you an ice cold towel for your face at the end of class! Very refreshing! read more

I wanted to update my review as I realized I was complaining more in general about the cost of Bikram Yoga, rather than the actual studio. So let's start over, shall we? 1) Dear Bikram, Your yoga is awesome. I love it. You, on the other hand, are a greedy jerk that charges a ridiculous amount of money so that average people with COMMON SENSE won't bring themselves to practice as often as they would like. I have the money, but I am NOT an idiot, SIR. 2) Dear Bikram Yoga Charleston, If I could describe your studio in any words, I would say it was balling out of control. In a good way. Very clean, plenty of locker room space and modern. I will say that the location is still a little out of the way for me, but let's stay focused. All in all, this is really a great studio, ALL Bikram studios are a bit pricey - but as I explained above, that comes with the territory! read more

Let me begin with a little background information. I naturally have more flexibility than strength; I took my first yoga class during my college years (Ashtanga style) and have been a fan of many different types of yoga over the past 10-15 years. I was a member at a local gym that offered a great deal of yoga classes and I found I was always drawn to the "hot" classes: hot power yoga and hot "Bikram" yoga. The latter becoming my absolute favorite, but being that the gym was not a Bikram gym only offered three classes the entire week. I quickly realized the amount of classes was not satisfying my need for more. I decided to pay nearly twice a month in membership fees. The trade-off has been worth it. On to Bikram Charleston. Bikram Charleston originally opened up in the Seaside Farms shopping center in Mt. Pleasant. After being successful there, the owner opened a second location downtown. Mt Pleasant - open, airy, clean and inviting entrance. Hot room is spacious with views of the mirrors accessible from pretty much any spot. The locker room (women's) is a little cramped, but it serves its purpose with plenty of lockers (some come with keys on a springy wristband that you can take with you into the hot room) others do not. Stealing is not an issue if you end up using a locker with no key. (The main entrance to the studio is locked during the class and everyone who is there is in the hot room so there is no chance for someone to be rifling through your stuff without your knowledge.) There are 3 showers (1 of which is handicap accessible) and 2 toilets. There are 2 "stations" with mirrors and hair dryers if you need to get ready for work after class. Downtown - modern, industrial, made of brick entrance. Cool and urban ambience. Hot room is a little different. There are doors that open to the outside (which, of course, are closed) and a few structural pillars in the class that can block your view of the mirror if you are behind one. The locker room (women's) is bigger as there is no wall dividing the lockers from the showers/sinks/toilets but there is a giant curtain that separates the space. The curtain is a little annoying, but easy to overlook. Same number of toilets/showers. Both locations include shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel, so no need to bring your own supplies. The instructors seem to teach mostly at one location or the other, but there are times when they shake it up and you'll get a downtown instructor in Mt. P or vice versa. The real treats happen when guest instructors come to town. I call this a "treat" because each instructor, although having the same instructions, have their own unique styles and sometimes call out modifications that you've never heard before, suddenly putting you deeper into a pose that you never realized possible. All the instructors have rockin' bods attributable to what Bikram can do to your body, given the dedication. Both locations have a "shop" in the lobbies where you can purchase hot yoga clothes, branded t-shirts, books, water and coconut water. I've never been to any other Bikram studio so I don't have much to compare it to other than other styles of yoga and those classes I've attended, so what I really love here is in final savasana (where you're lying down, eyes closed, lights off, absorbing all the benefits of 90 minutes of hard work in a calm, peaceful 2 minutes) the instructor walks around handing out ice-cold, eucalyptus-scented wet wash cloths. After sweating so hard for so long it just feels amazing to place one over your face, neck, wherever, and squeeze that cold wetness onto yourself. I could write a lot more about Bikram: i.e. temperature, humidity, what to drink, what to eat, what to wear, things about different poses, etc. but that information has more to do about the practice and nothing to do with the Charleston studios. I have recommended this style of yoga and these studios to friends in my personal life, and without hesitation recommend them to Yelp readers. P.S. Below this review I'm asked if this place is "Good for Kids" with Yes, No, and Not Sure being my only choices. The owner allows children ages 8 and older to come with their parents. BUT if the child has not yet reached puberty, they must wait in the lobby area for the standing portion of the series and then they get called in when you move to the floor. From what I've learned, children do not have sweat glands in the same manner as adults do and do not need the standing postures which are designed to get you ready for the floor. Kids are already naturally ready for the floor and don't need all that hard work and sweat to prepare. I've brought my child a few times and she loves it. read more

There's no other way to spend 90 minutes a day that will change your life. This practice will change your body, mind, heart, spirit and soul. I had never taken Bikram Yoga (or any yoga for that matter) until a little over a year ago. Since I started I've gone off my allergy injections (2 injections every two weeks), decreased my blood pressure medication, and significantly improved back pain. There's nothing like this class! And there is no studio like this one. It is clean, modern, accommodating and friendly. The owner cares for it as if it's his home and you feel it the moment you walk in the door. The teachers are exceptional. They are so eager to share this practice with as many people as possible; their excitement is contagious. You might think that being in a room that gets heated to 105 degrees and 40% humidity with people sweating profusely that it might be, well, a bit smelly. But it's not. The state of the art systems, the frequency of cleaning, and care it's given take care of that. This is so much more than a workout and can't even compare with a gym membership. There's something about having to look at yourself in the mirror for 90 minutes, sweating, and moving through these 26 postures. It's life altering. And on those days when you do something you've never done before....there just aren't words for the feeling of accomplishment you get. You feel it, bones to skin, heart to mind, body to soul. Now I'm practicing five to six times a week and if I for some reason have to miss a day I'm so disappointed. It's part of who I am now. It's simply impossible for me to repay Bikram Charleston and the amazing owner and teachers. Go to the website and read more www.bikramcharleston.com, it will change your life too. read more

I practiced Bikram yoga with Bikram Charleston for three years and it was the greatest three years of exercise I've had. The new owner Hannah is the very best thing that could have happened for Bikram practitioners. Unfortunately, losing the downtown location made it impossible for me to keep practicing with them. Bikram is challenging and dynamic; the repeated poses and the instructors' guidance help you perfect each pose and develop a practice that can change your life and your body. The heat is just a tool, not a hindrance; ignore it, and eventually you'll learn to love it. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. Don't wipe your sweat, it'll make you hotter. Drink plenty of water several hours before class, but try not to drink during the class. Listen closely to the instructor, and lock your knee. Bikram is the greatest yoga practice I've ever found, and I know that Hannah and her team will usher in the most supportive and fun studio culture yet. She's adding special events and opportunities like 6:30am classes Monday-Friday, beach yoga & bonfire, bring a friend friday's, and giving the studio a facelift in August 2015, with a new floor, fresh coat of paint, and more products for sale in the lobby. It's a great day for Bikram yogis. read more

I practice at this studio every time I visit my folks for the holidays. I practice all across the country and this place is my favorite. Why? Because of the 5 Wows. 1. Great schedule 2. Clean locker room with locks provided and clean showers. 3. The studio has always been great and this year they have a new floor... this may be the best smelling Bikram studio ever now that they have the new floor. 4. Wet hand towels with scent of eucalyptus provided after class. Cooling, refreshing and soothing. 5. Visitors special. During the holidays they offer a special package that is a fair price for an out of towner. The only thing I am not crazy about is how they do announcements during the 2 minute savasana before floor work. I am not sure why studios do this. If it's a two minute rest - why choose that time for your commercial break? I'm working to stay present and be in the moment and you introduce a program that happens next month. little annoying but not the end of the world, surely they have good intentions. Try it you will like it. If you are traveling you just may be a little sad that your home studio doesn't offer all the same amenties read more

I went to Bikram Yoga in Mount Pleasant for the first time today. That being said I was extremely disappointed in the woman with dark hair working behind the desk. I never ended up actually taking the class because she turned me away. When I first arrived she was nonstop and quite rudely chatting with another woman while I stood in front of her desk for at least five minutes. When she finally got to me (as it was my first time I was nervous and I had some questions) she was extremely snarky. Almost to the point where she thought I didn't 'belong' in her studio... at least thats how I felt. It reached a point to being so uncomfortable I left. I was really upset because I was extremely looking forward to taking a Bikram Yoga class. My roommate is a member there because it is the only studio near us and had warned me of the customer service of the instructors.I live right over the bridge in Isle of Palms and would have gladly paid any price for any weekly, monthly, or yearly class. Will never be back and I don't recommend anyone to go! read more

The class was challenging, the staff was friendly and knew what they were Teaching. They would help you whenever you were doing it wrong. And last but not least it's a beautiful studio at a great price. read more

I am new to Bikram yoga, and yoga in general, as I've been practicing for just over 3 weeks. Already, Bikram has changed the way I think and feel about health and fitness. I'm not afraid to sweat, but I was nervous about the heat- I came to find I rarely notice the heat because I am so focused on the postures. In just 3 weeks, I already feel so much stronger, more flexible, less stressed and happier. I've been taking better care of myself than I have in years. This practice is truly changing me. Bikram Yoga of Charleston is a wonderful studio where beginners are always made to feel welcome. The classes are somewhat self-tailored so an experienced yogi can have as successful a workout as the new comer. I feed off the energy of others, so for me, being in a class with more advanced students helps me push myself further. The instructors are the reason I keep coming back. They are encouraging, inspiring and very knowledgeable; they are always commending students for their efforts, urging them to return within 24 hours, and answering any questions. Yes, Bikram yoga is expensive, but I believe a healthy body and mind is a great investment. If you practice at least 4 times a week, it comes out to be about 10$ a class- really not that much considering the benefits. Daily practice is recommended, with that said, being a nurse who works 12 hour shifts- this can be challenging. My only issue with this studio is there is no 8pm class. If I work day shift (7am-730pm,) there is no class for me to go to. With a studio so close to MUSC, I was hoping they would be conscious of this problem. Hopefully there will be an 8pm class in the future. I would love to practice daily! read more

Bikram Yoga of Charleston When I am happy I go to Bikram Yoga. When I am unhappy I go to Bikram Yoga Because it will make me happy. When my body is fit I go to Bikram Yoga And enjoy stretching and bending As far as I can. When my body aches I go to Bikram Yoga Because it alleviates or dissolves all pain From headaches, back pain, to digestive issues, Just to name a few. When I feel joyful I go to Bikram Yoga And share a few words with someone who just seems to need them. When I feel sad or lonely I go to Bikram Yoga Because there is always a teacher or a student with a warm smile or a few caring and wise words. Even though I started Bikram Yoga At age 58 with no ballet or gymnastic experience and a stiff body, I discovered within a few weeks that my body could stretch and hold postures I had thought would take three lifetimes. Even though I have a slim body, I still lose a couple of pounds when I attend classes 3-4 times a week. It is an intense and powerful practice. Bikram Yoga boosts the metabolism, restores the body flexibility, improves memory and sleep, centers the mind (or you lose the balance in the posture), grounds the whole person, and brings peace. Right after each class, my posture is straighter, my skin glows, and I have much more physical and mental energy to complete my to-do list of the day. Bikram Yoga changed my life for the better. Just try it! There is no better day than a day with Bikram Yoga. read more

This is the BEST Bikram Yoga studio that I have been to! It is a beautiful studio and they keep it very clean. Showers are available for use after. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. All of the teachers are knowledgeable and make you feel comfortable before, during, and after class. I would recommend this studio to beginners as well as expert yogis! read more

This is a fantastic hot yoga studio. Great instructors! It's very clean and a friendly place to practice yoga.

The staff here is very friendly and the classes are tough. I ended purchasing a groupon to try it out and really enjoyed it. I will say that the heat is a little too much for me and I got over heated during my last class and haven't been back since. If you're very sensitive to heat as I am this will be a really big challenge. The instructors were great and very understanding when it came to me having to leave class early. I wish I wasn't so intolerant of heat, I would love to continue classes but I just don't feel like it's a safe idea for me. Back at barre! read more

So glad I found this studio! I am visiting Charleston and they have a great plan for travelers. The class was great and the staff was very friendly. read more

I've only ever been to the MP studio. There's definitely pro's and cons. I have to admit that when my boyfriend and I first came to this studio we did not like it all. We did the first week for $25 and came maybe 4 or 5 times. Every time we had the same instructor, and she was practically a drill sergeant. She had her "script" memorized, and by the end of the week we could recite it. It was awful. So we didn't go back until recently. We both had done Bikram in another state and loved it. We decided to give it another shot because we missed the practice and to our surprise it was like an entirely different studio. They had hired a few new instructors and instead of the drill sergeant attitude we were greeted with smiles. It seems that that particular instructor is gone now. Thank God. Everyone there now is great. They all know our names and we often stick around and chat with them after class. They are really cool people and really knowledgeable about Yoga and just health in general. The studio itself is always clean and has a really modern feel. My only issue is that it definitely has more of a Spa type feel. Like a weight loss center. It's not very "yogi." The prices are a lot higher than other studios we have been to, and you can't split a package. They do occasionally run specials though. The expiration date is annoying, but they actually recently extended the time limit so it makes it much easier to fit it into a 9-5-ers schedule. All in all, now, we really love this studio, the practice and all the instructors there. I really reallllly recommend that you at least give it a shot. read more

I live in Austin. But I wish I lived in Charleston to visit this studio everyday! I've been to many Bikram studios, and this is by FAR my fave. It's clean, spacious, great ventilation and they bring you ice cold/wet towels at the end of class! Best idea ever and I wish my Austin studios ended class that way! If you live in Charleston and you haven't been here and/or done Bikram, stop by and sweat your bum off. read more

I recently traveled to Charleston for a long weekend getaway. I stayed in Isle of Palms, and decided to go to the Bikram studio in Mt. Pleasant during my stay. I am a current student at Bikram Annapolis, MD. I was in the SC area for a total of 4 days and decided to sign up for the 7 day unlimited package at Bikram Charleston for $50. I'm used to the cost of Bikram yoga and felt like this was a great deal, as classes are usually $20 per class. This cost also included a mat and towel during each visit. The studio seemed very new and clean. It had hard wood flooring at the entrance and in the locker rooms. The studio did not have the typical hot yoga smell (as my mom refers to it). The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming. Amy Lane was my instructor for 2/3 days that I attended. She remembered me each time I came in always checked at the end to see if I had a good class. The yoga room itself was very impressive to me. The temperature was at a perfect setting for those that are used to the "hotness" of Bikram yoga. It was the right amount of heat and humidity. It was also in a completely separate area, so the heat did not effect the temperature in the rest of the studio. I did not get the opportunity to visit the downtown location, although I heard it is just as nice. I usually visit the Charleston area at least twice a year. I will definitely make a trip back to this studio when I return. read more

I have been a bikram yoga student for about a month now. I normally practice at a studio in Greenville, but I was in Charleston for the weekend, so I decided to try at the Bikram Yoga Studio Charleston in Mount Pleasant. The class was well conducted- although at times I felt the fans were on too high which prevented me from sweating at much as I prefer to during Bikram Yoga Classes. I wish there had been shorter periods of fan use. And I am sure it is hard to keep a studio smelling nice when that amount of sweat is produced in the area, but there was an undesirable stench of bleach and sweat to the studio that I do not get at the studio I normally go to. Despite the fan, Marianna was a great teacher and the class was worthwhile- just wish it had been hotter. The biggest disappointment for me was what I am going to call "false advertising" on their website. The "rates" tab on the site mentions that there is a 15% discount on all pricing for military/student. When I showed up to pay, I was told there was no discount for students. Also, I needed to rent a mat since I was from out of town and did not bring mine for the weekend. I brought a towel, knowing I needed one to put on top of a regular mat. I could've rented one for $3 according to a sign by the register but I was forced into renting a mat/towel combo (which I do not prefer) for $4. If you are looking for a good bikram class in the area and price doesn't bother you - this is a good place to go, but I will not be returning based on the higher rates for a single class and no student discount. I pay $12 for class in Greenville and I cannot justify $20+ when I only spend 4-6 days a month in Charleston, making it not worth buying a package for a cheaper per class cost. read more

Im new to bikram yoga but have practiced iyengar for a long time. The heat got to me so I returned to asanas that are restorative in nature. The teacher yelled at me several times saying this is bikram so dont do that. Unfortunately he did not teach a pose that i could relax to rest. Odd. Is he certified? This likely uncertified teacher continued to treat me rudely. So I left the class. Instead of staying in the class with his students he followed me out to return my money. Also odd? He should have stayed with his students, this is not safe. He also should not have incorrectly named poses or poorly demonstarted the asana, but he did. He also sounded like an auctioner. He was impolite and his other students seemed uncomfortable too by his screaming at me. Why did he behave this way. Yoga is in part to connect with yourself and to learn to still the fluctuations of the mind. I have never left a yoga class in my life and i have gone to over 600 courses in DC, Philly, San Fran, etc. I was so dissapointed and felt like it was not nice for me to leave his class. But he was so mean and itwas so uncomfortable that i thought it best. I could go on but its the weekend and the weather is beautiful. read more

Both studios are well-run, clean and comfortable. The teachers are welcoming and inspiring -- and always make themselves available for questions. It's a different kind of yoga than I have practiced before and I learn a little more each time I go. Initially, the heat was a challenge, but I understand now why warming up the body is so important for the postures. I think the classes are a good value, especially if you can commit to a package. The new downtown facility is really nicely done -- a beautiful space. Parking is easy. The owner has thoughtfully leased spaces in adjacent lots. Just display your Bikram sticker. These classes make me feel great and I highly recommend making time to check them out for yourself. read more

I love hot yoga and there are a lot of great studios in the southeast. This one has great teachers and a really cool space (downtown location is the only one I've been to). The new bikram studio in Durhan NC is a beautiful modern interior but this is more like the really cool downtown spaces in DuPont Circle Washington DC or the Charlottesville Studio... Funky cool spaces with a good vibe from the students. read more

Hannah, the owner, has done an exceptional job of building a warm but challenging culture where they allow participants to work at their speed in a non judgmental and supportive way. I love all the teachers and learn something new every time I attend even though I've been going for five years. read more

Bikram Yoga - Wow what a workout! I was introduced to Bikram through a friend and a co-worker, both of whom swore up and down that the benefits were huge. It took me a while to try it out given the price. However, once I did it, there was no turning back! It's amazing what 90 minutes of dripping sweat will do for you. Every time I leave a bikram class I feel so rejuvenated! Some days it's difficult - other's not so much, but every time that feeling of euphoria at the end is worth going back the next day. If you think "oh I've done hot yoga, it's the same"...it's not! Bikram is a totally different, unique form of yoga and it is slowly changing my life. Everyone should give it a try at least once! You'll never regret it :) read more

Absolutely incredible studio - Sam and Heather are my favorite teachers, but they're all personable and great. By far the best hot yoga studio in Charleston! read more

I am not an extremely flexible person, nor do I really love heat but this class has become one of the best things ever to happen to me. I am a female wedding photographer (which requires me to hold a lot of heavy gear for hours at a time and then sit at a computer editing for many hours afterwards.) My job had taken a toll on my back and my wrists. Since starting this class I am able to hold my gear all night long with much less back pain and I am able to edit the images with no more aching wrists. This class has strengthened my body and calmed my mind. I sleep better, I feel better and I just love it. I can not say enough good things about Bikram yoga. This studio is kept very clean and the instructors are great. If you are looking for a full body workout without pounding on a treadmilll, this class is for you. read more

Bikram Yoga is a unique style of yoga, done in a hot environment for 90 minutes. It is a great workout, and there is really nothing else like it. Not only does it work every muscle in your body, but it is also very detoxifying & healing. The benefits you receive from practicing regularly are amazing, and it is definitely something I want to continue for the rest of my life. The studio in Mount Pleasant is beautiful and it has a wonderful staff. David, Leah and Amy are all certified Bikram teachers, and they are very educated in the practice. They have always been very helpful, and are an inspiration to the students. Try a class and see for yourself!! read more

I live 2 hours away from this studio, but try to make it a priority to practice here as often as possible! The facility is amazing and the staff is awesome! It is such a warm, welcoming environment. I feel so energized after each session! I wish they'd open a studio closer to me! read more

How many rooms can you enter where everyone in that room has some sort of testimonial about how life changing that room has been for them? A Bikram Yoga studio is one of them. Once I found the Mt. Pleasant Bikram Yoga studio I knew I had found my "home" yoga studio and that no other form of excercise would ever come close to what I had just experienced. The instructors are fantastic at both the Mt. P and downtown locations. They all have their own unique way of pushing you, yet remain gentle and understanding if you are having an off day. They are also great with beginners and encourage you to sit if needed and drink water when necessary. I highly recommend Bikram yoga and I even more so highly recommend Bikram yoga in Charleston. I encourage you to create your own testimonial along with thousands of others and let Bikram Yoga change your body, your mind and your life. read more

I have been to a lot of yoga studios and this one was the worst. I was treated very rudely by my yoga teacher during a class and I was humiliated. I left half way through. His name was Lee and he got upset when I did a modified version of poses or rested in childs pose. I have never experienced this before and I was very disappointed. I would not recommend this studio. read more

My goodness, where to I begin? I will say that Bikram Yoga Charleston has absolutely changed my life! I have been practicing at the Bikram Yoga Charleston studio for 10-months. I began practicing on a pretty consistent basis, however, now, I can't seem to stay away! I had never practiced yoga of any kind prior to October of 2009. However, once attending my first class I knew it was something I would like due to the sheer challenge of it. It was like no other workout I had ever experienced. I have always worked out on an extreme basis in the past, mainly walking, running and lifting weights. However, the walking / running / weight lifting never gave me the feeling I get after practicing Bikram Yoga. I noticed this from my very first class. Bikram Yoga has completely changed my body, like no other workout I've ever experienced. However, this isn't the whole reason why I love Bikram Yoga as it has helped me become a better person. I'm a full time working mother of 2 small children and as many of you can attest, this is a challenge in itself! I find that the Bikram Yoga helps me to be a more patient and loving mother and person in general. I have learned to just breathe and relax in the yoga room which helps me breathe and relax outside of the yoga room. I'm 150% hooked to say the least! The Bikram Yoga Charleston studio is absolutely awesome, as the director is such a great leader from both his management of the studio and his teaching style in the yoga room. The instructors are just outstanding as it's like getting a personal training session with every class you take. The instructors are not only great in instructing Bikram Yoga, they are the nicest and happiest people you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting. The students at the Bikram Yoga Charleston studio are just awesome as everyone has a sense of camaraderie in each and everyone's practice. The studio is absolutely beautiful in its design, not to mention the general upkeep and care taken in the studio. It's super clean and just feels pleasing to be in! I recommend the Bikram Yoga Charleston studio wholeheartedly as it would be hard to top the professionalism and personal encouragement! read more

Bikram is simply the best workout I've ever done. Finishing each class feels like an achievement. The environment is always supportive, encouraging and friendly. As a recent cancer survivor, returning to Bikram has been a wonderful milestone for me in my recovery and finishing each class gives me the feeling of winning both mentally and physically. It is definitely hard and hot but, for me, there is no other workout like it. read more

True athletic yoga for charleston, best customer service! I first started my Bikram practice in College, in attempts to recover from many years of grueling collegiate training. My knees were damaged and body carrying more muscle than was natural for my frame. I just wanted to lean out! Bikram was the answer... From the get go David wanted to help and make my practice better...even before his first studio opened in Chas, he was giving helping hints and pointers while both just students in a hot yoga class- Once Bikram doors finally opened in Charleston, I couldn't be more relieved and appreciative for David's passion for the practice and its students. While attending MUSC my schedule was demanding and tight- David made anything work and was more than generous with membership flexibility- encouraging my athletic habits and joy! If you were dedicated to the practice, he was dedicated to your efforts. Whatever my crazy request, he was always willing to help and work with me to maximize my class attendance. The stress of school would have been more than unbearable without the escape Bikram provided and David made possible. I couldn't be more thankful and appreciative. We can only wish more business owners have Davids passion for the product, people, practice, (not to mention), his skill at hand picking the best instructors and employees. His studios have an open door, welcoming feel and provides an escape no matter what life is pitching. Thank you David and all of Charleston Bikram Yoga instructors!! You will be missed! Take good care. Best of Blessings to you all! read more

I have been going to this Bikram studio (Mt Pleasant) for about 10 months and it has changed my life. No matter how well I've done on a particular day, I feel great about my practice, my progress, my accomplishments. I have gained flexibility, core strength and most importantly self-confidence. Some minstructors have been overly self-centered and dictatorial but more recently the Mt P instructors are encouraging and supportive. I am a Bikram yogi for life! read more

I have been practicing with Bikram Yoga Charleston for 5 months now and it has become a part of my everyday life. The benefits I felt from the practice were immediate and noticeable. I felt calmer in my thinking and more energized in my life all at the same time. That combination helps tremendously as a mother of 3 boys and a first grade teacher. I have always been active and fit but never have I practiced anything like Bikram yoga. It forces you to listen to your body and push yourself to new limits each day. The studio is clean and the instructors are all amazing. They are all extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Bikram Yoga begins to feel like family right away. This practice has changed my body, mind, heart, spirit and soul. read more
