This is a place that caters to experience not just service. The classes are appropriately scheduled and well staffed. The environment is clean and friendly read more

absolutely love this place! I started coming here in order to change it up from my usual 5 am gym session. I have always loved yoga, so much so that i did 200 hour teacher training course and am registered with yoga alliance. i so wanted to get back in to a routine of increasing my pratice after a long break. I searched everywhere for a place that offers yoga at 5 am, and as many of you yogiee know there jus isnt anything at that time in the morning. I ended up coming across Bikrama yoga aka hit yoga, and thought i would give it a try. The location isnt the greatest, meaning its hidden, and if you are not careful you will miss the parking lot completely! Parking isnt bad, i usually park in the back behind the building, never had any issues that early in the morning. As i mentioned earlier i attend the 5 am class MWF. Doors are usually opened 15 mins prior to the start of class. inside you can expect to find a cute little studio equiped with showers and all. Mats and yoga wear is available for sale inside the lobby area, (but it is pricey) the actual class takes place on the other side of the glass door. The studio is lined with mirrors and balance bars similar to what u see in a dance studio. The floor is carpeted and the heat is turned up! Class starts promptly at 5am. The intructors are knowledgeable and lead you through a hour of different poses that flow together openning up your heart and mind. The tempterture keeps me sweating and my bones warm allowing me to get deeper in my poses, this yoga def gets you sweating and burning those calories, and jus as you get ready for Shavasana they give you an ice cold wash cloth laced with essential oils to help cool you off and relax. I highly recommend this place. read more

Loved it! A nice big open room - tons of space. Mirrors everywhere - may be intimidating but it's actually really great to be able to see yourself and how to improve your stance/ pose a. The instructor was gentle in her guidance - correcting me where I needed but also letting me be me and work at the level my body is at. She was friendly and makes a great effort to remember people by their names. Love all the different events and types of classes they offer and the consistancy. I also loved the hot room. I dont sweat, but stick me in a 100 degree room and make me do barre and I sweat like a horse in a good way. :) There are showers at the facility for those who need to wash off and go to work after class. They're clean and the facility is well maintained. I look forward to coming back again and again :) read more

See all

This studio is fire, legit so hot (and I love it). I've been to many yoga studios in my 24 years (my mom is a Kripalu yoga instructor), and after my first class at this studio, I was hooked. I walked out saying, "this was the best class I've ever been to." To be fair, it's the only Bikram or 26 posture studio I've been to, but I've been coming here for about 6 months now. I feel stronger, and found a great community in this studio. I recommend you try at least one class -- I bring my friends regularly. It may not be the zen//incense class you're looking for, BUT I guarantee you'll feel great leaving. It is kind of pricey, but no more than anywhere else -- you pay for the results you want. See you there! read more

Great Bikram studio! Very spacious, clean and knowledgeable instructors. Variety of different classes offered (Pilates, Ignite, etc). Wish I lived a lot closer, I'd be coming more often. Definitely recommend if your looking for a hot yoga studio! read more

This is the response for the manager, after a credit card issue and some e mails about to fix the problem and my answer: Most businesses take 48 hrs or more to respond to email. I responded promptly and cancelled your autopay without charging you the $50 early cancellation fee. You should be gracious. Instead, you are cluttering my inbox and wrote a nasty comment on my instagram. I have refunded your friend's card & you are no longer welcome at my studio. I don't need such negativity around my students. Lacy Carbone This is me. Dear Lacy Carbone: If you notice I have a few days that I do not visiting YOUR STUDIO first for the racist comments of your employee besides my physical Health condition, that I cannot stay so long under the hot air, that I explains to the attendant when I enrolled in YOUR STUDIO. It's me who does not care to come back!!!. Your response exposes your personality, you are very unprofessional and the way you act shows your frustration when someone demands that you do your job. You say 48 hours and I was waiting 2 weeks and You're telling me that I have no right to demand that you solve my problem?! Seriously?. And yes I'm thankful am not anymore in your false, racist and unprofessional environment. Educate yourself for this type of service. There is training available for people like you. There is a big difference is the service and professionalism between this club and the Clubs in Queens, NY and Miami. read more

Horrible customer service !!! They act like they are the only establishment that can provide a yoga class. Lacey to be exact was like u can't join the class because it starts at 9:30 and I got there at 9:32 and I had to wait for them to open the main door as she sat on the floor studying. She claimed that the instructor doesn't want anyone interrupting her class so she cannot allow me to join the class ,and in order for me to be in the class the instructor would have to talk to me first .She then told me that I would have to reschedule. Her attitude was truly a turn off so I asked for a refund instead. I'm definitely not coming back. read more

Executing 26 yogic postures in a room exceeding 100 degrees doesn't immediately sound enticing, but imbued with sweat after ninety minutes of pleasure-pain and you'll be hooked on the feeling that ensues. It's a delicious experience, one part workout and three parts tasting the rapture from a gilded chalice laced with cosmic stardust. Attribute it to the heat, the buzz you get from tapping into your breath, the catharsis of the dialogue: Bikram yoga is a baptism in bliss. Quieten your inner turmoil and get a glimpse of your best self every day with every breath you take in the hot room. The quality of instruction at Bikram Yoga Columbia, SC is truly exceptional. Owner and instructor Lacy Carbone and her amazing staff are here to help you cultivate your greatness. If you want to love who you are, give more, and simply be the best you can be both physically and mentally, get yourself to the hot room as soon as you can, as often as you can. Forget what you think you know about yoga, your aversion to sweat, or your fear of being scantily clad in front of strangers. There isn't a workout more purifying or deeply healing that will allow you to feel more connected to others and yourself than this practice. No matter how many times you perform the 26 postures or "asanas", executed twice each throughout the series, every class is different. Bikram is a type of Hatha yoga, which means that a focus on the breath is intrinsic in adopting a mindful practice and creating a meaningful mind-body connection. You'll be reminded frequently in class that this is a 90-minute breathing exercise, and it is this very tenet that your internal dialogue learns to accept more and more with every session you attend. Bikram transcends off the mat and becomes a lifestyle, a way of being, an epiphany. Carve out a sliver of time in your day to engage in a multi-sensory experience in self-realization. Put any fears or skeptical expectations aside, and open yourself to something truly good for yourself with some of the highest caliber people you will ever come into contact with.

BEST YOGA STUDIO in Columbia, SC! Bikram Yoga Columbia is by far the best yoga studio in Columbia!

Challenging and fun! The facility was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be going back!

Probably the best place I have been to for a Bikram yoga class. The instructor was amazing and encouraging. I lived the 90 minute class and will be going back the next time I'm in town! read more

Was late to a class but the instructor called and I was able to reschedule. I will update this review at the first class.

Great bikram style yoga studio. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Studio is refreshingly clean and welcoming. As a drop in visiting yogi from another state I could not have felt more at home. read more

Awesome! I didn't realize Columbia, SC had a yoga studio with showers. Very friendly staff and wonderful, challenging class. Thank you Bikram Yoga Columbia. --your newest member read more

I decided to try Bikram Yoga Columbia to see what is the major difference between this type and regular yoga that I do at a different studio that I go to. When I walked into the reception, I did not feel very welcomed. My friend and I were being gawked at by three girls working at the receptionist desk. Not cool. It just wasn't very professional nor very relaxing that you would expect from yoga studio (at least the ones I am used to). I didn't know at the time, but one of these girls at the receptiontist desk was my instructor for that class. I found her to be little snobbish. But I kept an open mind and let go of my opinions of her when the class started. While I love being in a hot room and doing these 26 poses, the one I did at the other studio were way more challenging. The instructor talked way too much and I feel like I am being led by a cardio instructor instead of yoga teacher. I was afraid when I first registered for the class that the studio would feel more like a gym and it won't be as calming and soothing and unfortunately, my feeling were confirmed. At least I had a great workout. I am glad I tried it to see what is out there and know I am extremely blessed to have a wonderful yoga studio that I regularly go to near me, which exceeds my expectations big time. read more

I went to the Irmo studio and I was very impressed!. The studio is large, clean and had lots of retails (Lululemon and several other brands). Just started my $99 student special and I am pumped! read more
