| Hi LoraB - the studio I go is www.omontherange.com - my favorite teacher is named "Kelly". She is very observant of newbies and she's good at correcting people's poses (not enuff of that happens in most classes I take) Try all the different studios in Chgo b4 just sticking to one. The wooden floors are a huge plus in my book and you can find that at at least 3 places (different owners). My instructors all seem to work all studios, I was being followed by 3 of them as I hopped from studio to studio
Hi Dee - thanks for your insight. I like talkiing with longtime yogis. It's like discovering a new civilization of ppl I never knew about... (a bit over dramatic, I know). I can't wait to go to a yoga retreat/conference and make more connections. |

| Hi BG - why do you think it inappropriate to list studios where you had bad experiences? I for one would appreciate the "heads up". |

| Thanks, hot4yoga, I'll check them out. Agreed on the heads-up on unpleasant studios - especially if it's a safety issue, which seems to be even more of a concern in regards to bikram than other types of yoga... |

| Hi hot4yoga ---
I'm not really comfortable reporting my experiences with individual
studios because they are all small businesses trying to get by, and
their local clients will determine their fate. It's not as if they are
on a national stage, hearing criticism and ignoring it. Don't worry,
the ones I'm thinking of are not in the Windy City or Miami Beach.
I will tell you that one studio owner threw me out of the studio for
doing full camel on the second set of camel and another cancelled
a friend's membership simply because they used a hand towel for
grip. I think this is insane behavior, and I can't imagine that
anyone would put up with it for very long. I placed a curse on the
first studio ("I curse you, Oh studio!")...the owner was a total
dip!@#$. She actually had students twisting while sidebending
in Half Moon. |

| Dee -
I've really enjoyed your posts and will definitely let you know when I come to SF. I'm a Bikram teacher and would just love to go to one of Tony's workshops. Maybe I can talk my husband into the July thing. |

| MyCatsMom -
great to hear that and would love to meet you - hope you can make it in July - it's so worth it!! |

| Wow Bay Guy - that is harsh! I'd definately wouldn't return to a class where they were that strick. Glad you place your curse!
-Jose

| I've been doing bikram for 6 months now and my knees are stronger. The bottom line is that the Bikram style works. I used to do power yoga in an unheated studio and I felt sore after each practice. I've never felt sore after a bikram session. |
