I am writing a review-after reading some others'. I felt compelled to. I have been practicing Bikram for 5 years, mostly in NYC where we have top notch instructors. Do not waste your time with this studio. I once drive in a heavy snowstorm to her Cohasset location, determined to do my practice and stay positive. When I got there, I was given an audio tape to follow after I paid. There were 2 other students in the room. She had her husband, who was not certified (and at the time I was a full time fitness instructor with over 20 different fitness certifications including yoga and pilates). It was a joke. After that, I went to the Hanover studio. That is where the scolding and negativity is in full heat (pardon the pun but we need a smile here). I will never return and I think that the owner of this studio gives a terrible experience of Bikram. If you went there and had a bad experience, please do not give up on your experience- Bikram can change your life in many positive ways. As for me, I stumbled upon this review while looking for a Bikram studio near Plymouth and just found Hot Yoga 1620 which has Bikram - I am setting my intention to write a review afterward:) read more

I will say that I believe the owner is dedicated to her craft. She has created her own world with which to live and practice in that suits her. And I can respect that. There is a very controlling feel about this studio. You need to call or text each day prior to coming and the class times vary - the website is not accurate and there are no drop ins allowed. I have been probably 6 times now. Each time treading lightly as I noticed she is just inconsistent - and for me that is very hard to manage. Especially when interaction with her is required. Today; I was admittedly late. 5 minutes. I entered the room and was immediately scolded. Told to stand in place, do not unroll my matt, and that I was late. Yes. I was late; however, I had been in a class a couple weeks earlier where she waited for a student and started late to accommodate. So... I'm standing there thinking "Isn't that interesting" and literally contemplated what to do next. In the end I picked my things up and left. I think it's a shame. I had a feeling something would give at one point at this Studio and today was that day. I love Bikram and I was genuinely excited about taking it up again. You sweat and really feel cleansed at the end. I don't normally write reviews, but this experience so contradicted what yoga is. Namaste. read more

Never again. Been doing Bikram for over 15 years. Practiced in this studio 2xs a few years ago. Went just now for the 5:30pm class with $150 cash in hand (unseen, in bra actually) all set to sign up for a 10 class pass as a spring equinox gift to myself. I arrived at exactly 5:33pm due to having to park farther away parking than before (front row is now handicapped), plus I missed the exit on a stressful day when I zoned out a bit. My fault for not being able to be present in the moment. 5:33pm "We start on time" was what I was told at 5:33pm. I was turned away and not allowed to enter the class. I was asked if I knew the schedule and if I knew Bikram. Affirmative to both. While I love Bikram and would expect to easily slide in the back as to not to disturb the energy, as a yoga teacher myself, I would never block someone out who was obviously having a stressful time and needed to be there. I do understand and appreciate that Bikram is a "strict" practice. However, there is a difference between a teacher/owner having punctuality and/or control issues, and a student who is not taking his practice seriously. This appears to be the former. This place is not energy that I will allow myself to be surrounded by in future. The irony is that as I write, I am remembering how when I did go those 2xs a few years ago, the teacher's adherence to the postures (there's only one teacher here who is also owner) for her students was the worst that I've ever witnessed. I'm grateful that I would not need to rely on those poor cues and diversion from the Bikram script. *Sigh*.... Apparently this was not to be. It's a huge bummer that the next Bikram studio is over 45 minutes from the Plymouth area. Perhaps I should start my own.... PS and FYI- If you are looking for somewhere else to go, I was 25 minutes away from the 6pm Open Doors class in Plymouth. I pulled out then returned to Bikram parking lot to write this review. I'll be going to the 7:30pm class at Open Doors in Duxbury. It is a level 2-3 (out of 3) "high heat" class where I have never been, nor seen anyone, turned away in the ~4 years I've been practicing there. I appreciate such a positive, compassionate and accepting atmosphere. Namaste. read more

If there was a star lower than 1, this studio would receive it. I went in being a mostly consistent student. I am from Phoenix and was here on vacation. So I decided, instead of trying it out and potentially paying day by day rates that I would just buy 2 weeks worth of classes. The first day I paid cash for my classes. The teacher and who I can only assume is the owner wrote down a few lines in a very tiny notebook. She took my money and didn't offer me anything in terms of a receipt. She told me not to worry and that she "would honest to god remember me" everytime I came in. The class itself is terrible. They have a teacher yet she plays from a CD. I can either assume she doesn't care enough about her practice to try and teach a class, or she isn't an actual certified teacher. Disappointed, I had hoped that my day two class would be with a different teacher or at least not on a CD. I had arrived to class 1 minuet late (almost exactly), went in and set up in the back as quietly as possible. The teacher quickly pulled me out of class, told me she had no idea who I was and that I needed to go home. I was shocked because she had specifically said "I will remember you" and failed to remember the very next day. Not to mention it took convincing for her to even and check and see if I had paid for classes. I did not attend another class. Terrible class, terrible teacher, fat waste of money. read more

Don't show up late or Katrina will discipline you in front of her class LOL. Was having some trouble finding the studio as it is inside a larger building, came in a few minutes behind starting time ready to go and was met with "Wow you're late. (by 5 min? lights were not on) I don't have time for this," then turns to the class and asks if they should let us join to which I declined because that's an extremely awkward position to be put in as a student in class.. Although, she did have time to escort us out of the class and explain herself (somewhat). She was friendlier once outside of the room, pretty different than how she was acting in front of her students. I was excited to try since she seems experienced, but was not staying or coming back after that. Slightly disappointed but don't love the way she talks to people and should have looked at the reviews prior to going. It would have been pretty easy to quietly bring us out of the class and tell us to come earlier next time but instead she felt the need to nearly yell at us in front of her class. I can respect having worth for your time but I do not respect trying to confront or scold someone who you don't know in front of a group of people. On the way out she said we don't know what we're doing and to have fun at our other yoga studio. I have and will continue to do so! read more

Bikram is an amazing, healing, strengthening yoga. There is nothing else like it in the world. It will change you from the inside out. Katrina is a long time teacher and practitioner who cares about her students. She helps guide them to third best practice each time. Her studio is clean and beautiful. I have practiced in studios around the south shore and in hawaii - hers is top notch. read more

Although I am an inconsistent practicer, I know Bikram is one of the only things that literally enhances my life. Bikram makes you take a minute (or 90) for yourself... reminds you how to breathe; is a workout and a full body massage at the same time; and gives you peace. Not to mention - a few classes and you'll drop some lbs and have clearer skin! I have fallen in love with Bikram Yoga South Shore. Katrina (owner and teacher) has a beautiful studio, and its clear to see she truly cares about her yogis. The people I have had class with and had the chance to speak with so far are amazing and I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's practice. Namaste. read more

Katrina Klein is an amazing Bikram Yoga instructor! The first time I walked in, she greeted me with a huge smile and I knew I belonged! She cares so much about the students in the class and helps guide us through the practice for the entire class. I always leave class happy and energized!!! Please check it out.. Peace! read more
