Bikram Yoga Fullerton

I’ve never been in love with yoga until I met Bikram Fullerton. The results of the measly twice a week schedule I try to maintain have given me unbelievable result:
cellulite is gone
No longer plagued by sports asthma when I jog,
Both more flexible and weigh less than back in high school.
Full body fatigue is so zen calming that it takes all the piss and vinegar out of me leaving me pleasantly enjoy the day. The very first day I noticed that my 45min work commute was enjoyable, a nice time to quietly sit enjoying the after effects.

Had a great time at this Yoga studio. I will definitely be returning. Overall very clean facility and clean bathrooms. Staff was courteous and the teacher was excellent.

It was my first experience in hot yoga but had a great experience. The instructor was amazing I think her name was Linda. She was very encouraging and positive minded and made me feel very comfortable. I will definitely bring my friends here.

I love this studio!
The staff is great, the showers & dressing room are really clean & they have a lot of classes through out the day.
I like that the instructors are so encouraging. This has become my favorite studio to practice at.

Coming back to BY after the Camp closed its doors. It’s never too late to start again… this time at BYF. The studio is adequately maintained, the teachers are seasoned and keep you safe. I’ve only been twice so far, and it wasn’t that crowded each time. For anyone who might be new to Bikram’s yoga, but have done other forms of yoga it gets hot. Also, the teacher will likely NOT give you a physical or verbal adjustment on your posture (on purpose). That’s why there’s a mirror for you to connect/​correct your ownself. Other than that, try to remain hydrated the day before and throughout the day before your class.
My only gripe — the hot water in the men’s restroom shower takes a while to get warm.

Best place EVER. Kaiyan and all the instructor are great. This place is great for rehabing your body. I injured my back from crossfit and many years of working out. My body finally gave out on me. Working out wasn’t fun any more my body hurt all the time and I couldn’t lose weight. Physical therapy, mediaction, acupuncture, steroid injections didn’t help. (I work in the medical field so I did what I know I’m suppose to do) So I decided to go the natural way.
I’ve been coming here since July 2015 and 90%of my pain is gone. It also help with my digestive issues I have. My energy levels are back to normal and get the sleep ever. No more waking up feeling like my body is so constricted. I hight recommend for athletes who need rehab… hope this helps someone #nameste

I been to this studio from spring of this year, my 1^st ever, hot yoga (Recommended by Julio Garcia).
There are times I would come for almost a week straight because the benefit out of the 26 postures are really good for the mind & body.
While I was attending class for a couple of months, I started to see that after 3 days of yoga, performing the 26 postures doesn’t tire me out like it did when I had just started in spring. Instead I gain a lot of energy, sometimes I would pull a 36hrs. The postures maybe repetitive, but focus because it aids in aligning your body back to it’s original form.
I been in active military for over 4 years, and Bikram Yoga was more challenging than my experience in the Army (e.g., Airborne School, Army Combatives).
I would like to see veterans to try Bikram Yoga

The studio is great and is clean, this is a rad studio to get that magical bikram feeling. I wish I didn’t have to move to la and be so far from this place. It is a life changing practice on many mental, physical and spiritual level.

I have never really liked yoga but I think it’s because all the other places I’ve been to do not have as much knowledge as the instructors here. The instructors here get to know you and and really encourage you to reach your goals and surpass your limits. Kaiyan is amazing! Another reason I usually don’t like yoga studios is because they are dirty and smelly — but the carpet here is clean and very well maintained. Showers, lockers and complimentary towels are the icing on the cake!

This studio is my favorite yoga studio for various reasons:
1. It’s well maintained, clean, and comfortable to shower in after class. The locker room has plenty of lockers for you to use and the showers are always well kept. They provide complimentary toiletries as well (which is nice when you forget to bring your own).
2. The temperature is perfect (as in always over 100). I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to another «hot yoga» class and come out feeling like I barely sweat. That’s never an issue here! The heat really helps clear your mind and guides you deeper in your poses.
3. The TEACHERS :) The teachers really focus on form, technique, discipline, and pushing you to your edge. I always learn something new in every class, and I’ve carried what I’ve learned here to all the other yoga studios I’ve been to since (I moved out of the area). Whenever instructors comment on my form, I always think back to the teachers at this studio that taught me everything I’ve learned, specifically Anna, Kaiyan, and Phong :). ALL the teachers here are amazing! I’ve never left a class feeling like I didn’t get a good workout/​therapy session in.
I miss this studio a lot, it’s been about a year since I’ve been to a Bikram studio like this one. I unfortunately moved out of state but hopefully I can find one here that can provide the same experience I received at BYF.
If anyone is new to Bikram, I highly recommend this studio! They have a good intro pass deal and the teachers are all extremely friendly. It’s a good place to obtain a solid foundation for the rest of your yoga journey :)

I come to BYF to get the best sweat of my life. This studio keeps their yoga room clean, smelling nice, and really HOT. Carpet in the yoga room is a Bikram thing, and this studio deep cleans it often so there’s nothing to worry about. Sure, after a big class there will be drops of sweat on the ground, you might smell sweat in the air, but it’s a gym, why would you come expecting anything else? Plus, if the carpets bother you, isn’t yoga about learning how not to let minor things bother you? Nice showers, complimentary towel service, and lockers.
Teachers here follow the Bikram script but the more experienced teachers put their own spin on it. They say the same words but for some strange reason, you will always pick up something new, every class. The script, while at first can seem really repetitive, becomes meditative the more that you practice. The teachers say the words so you don’t have to think about what to do next, you can just relax and let the words guide you. Each teacher has their own experience with the yoga and that is what they’ll teach you in their class. Go to Jesse if you want to get your a** KICKED! Go to Kristen or Anna for a really relaxing class. All of the teachers are huge on getting your alignment in a pose right so that you do more good for your body than harm.
Staff here has always been extremely friendly to me. I’m greeted by name when I walk in the door (the owner, Kaiyan, has a freakish ability to remember names), I get offered towels without asking, and always a «have a great class!» I’ve never left this studio feeling anything less than complete bliss.
I have been Kaiyan’s student since she started her bikram career in OC. I am forever her follower!
UNTIL THEN! ^-^

I am a fan!
Bikram is definitely not for everyone but if you’re willing to push your body and mind to another level I highly recommend a class. The teachers are passionate and want you to succeed and will help you get to that next level that you didn’t think your body can get to.
They currently have a 3 week for $ 30 special for new yogis.
Namaste

Looking for a good sweat sesh? — You’ve come to the right place. I’ve only been doing bikram yoga for a couple months but I am seriously addicted to these intense group sessions here at the fullerton location. Kaiyan (is that how you spell her name?) and the rest of the staff here at this location are superb. They know how to really set the pace and lead the sessions. You can tell Kaiyan is truly passionate about her work and it shows through her constant dedication to the class.
Give it a shot, you might just end up loving it. Pro-​tip, bring some extra towels for that car ride home. :)

While I am not new to practicing bikram yoga and regularly practice at another local studio, I was lured in by a 3 week unlimited for $ 30. I thought Id give it a try. I must say I was extremely displeased and left with a bad taste in my mouth (almost literally). I just cant wrap my head around using carpet on a hot yoga studio, I just cant. Although they claim to shampoo the carpet regularly, the foul odor coming from it says otherwise. I know what to expect from past experiences, but my goodness. I usually made it to the late class which felt like punishment since the whole day is built up in there by that time. You step foot through that studio door only to be hit with the smell of the whole days worth of sweat, even when the poor little cleaning person runs through and trys to rid the smell with spray. This is not just any sweat. Picture people coming in un-​showered and dirty, then crank the heat to about 106 degrees, then picture that same thing repeated 6 – 7 times in a day, collect that smell and pass it though an onion. Thats what it smells like. I nearly threw up when I pulled a pubic hair out of my mouth, and from between my toes. Not to mention the extremely long hairs that get rolled up in my mat.
Being on a trial, I wanted to make the most of it so I went as many times as I could within the 3 week trial. The poses are what to expect, the instructors however are a different story. Like I previously mentioned, I am not new to bikram yoga. Its about keeping a steady breath, concentration, symmetry, stacking bones, etc. This is how you focus and hold poses. None of that was able to happen since the instructors feel the need to scream, bark orders, and snap their fingers at you. Every single one of them follows the «script» to the tee. There is nothing soothing and relaxing about the tone of their voices. I lose concentration, I can’t hold poses, and they call you out like a misbehaving child in front of the whole class. One thing I also noticed is that most everyone in these classes are on the trial, most of which state that they are new to yoga. If I were new to yoga I would not want someone yelling «LOCK THE KNEES, LOCK THE KNEES, LOCK THE KNEES»!!! We get what you are going for here but someone who is new to yoga is at major risk of injury here when they are forcing themselves to «lock their knees». This is something that comes with more practice. But you all should know that. I can go on for hours talking about how much I dislike this facility but I’ll leave you with this. Management, I would spend a bit more time coaching your instructors. The yelling, snapping of the fingers, and clapping is just plain rude and disruptive. We are not rabid animals, we are people, treat us that way.
Lastly, you should probably remind your staff that there is a sitting area behind the front desk. I overheard a gentleman refer to his place of work as «This fuc**** place“and that he was not driving all the way this «this fuc**** place» if he doesn’t have to. He further went on to explain that he is not certified, which leads me to believe that anyone who learns the script can be an instructor. After further looking into other people’s reviews and seeing the condescending and arrogant remarks made by a woman who seems to be the owner, it’s no wonder the place is always empty. Saying bikram yoga is not for everyone, is to me insinuating that you didn’t need their business anyways. The truth is that Bikram Yoga Fullerton is not for everyone and it shows. It’s definitely not for me. That’s why I’ve taken my business elsewhere and will happily pay more for a better experience. At this rate, they will be closed in no time. Please don’t fall for the $ 30 intro. Head to Purple Yoga down the street and experience a real difference.

Where do I begin? The studio is awesome.
1) It doesn’t smell horrible both inside and outside of the studio. I’ve been to a couple of Bikram spots and they smell horrible right down to the rugs.
2) It’s has a very cool calm vibe. Maybe because it’s newer location but I love it.
3) The studio itself had clean rugs, the mirrors didn’t have sweat or finger prints, and the temperature was perfect. Some spots either have it too hot or the humidity is off the chain where you can’t breathe at all. Not this place.
4) Amenities: 2 free towels per visit; body soap, shampoo/​conditioner, lotion, hairdryers… all available on hand; clean lockers; clean showers!
5) The staff is super nice and helpful. The instructor I had didn’t sound like a drill serger and made comments about breathing techniques and postures, which I found very helpful.
I guess, I’m not use to the cool spots in SoCal because if this place was in the Bay Area, I would never ever ever tell people about it because it’s top notch and I want to experience it all to myself. Seriously though, well worth the money.

I absolutely love this place. I tried bikram yoga for the first time a year ago, and am now completely addicted to it. But take note** there’s none of that «dim lights, yoga soundtrack lulu lemon» nonsense in this practice. It’s really helped me find the deeper meaning as to what yoga is and how my mind/​body can change on a daily basis.
The owner, Kaiyan, is super sweet! She’s attentive and gets back to you quickly if you have questions or concerns. The teachers here are incredibly helpful and encouraging. The carpet is cleaned daily, maintenance is well kept. So much love for BYF !!

Sending love/​respect to this great studio; its students, owner, and teachers create a strong, colorful, and open yoga community. The facility, including the practice space, is kept clean. The students range from beginner to advanced, with the commonality of having a learner’s mind. The owner Kaiyan is professional and genuinely cares about the healing of her students. The teachers are some of the best in Orange County. Everyone’s teaching style is different. The teacher’s «voice» is based on their personality and even personal history; try out different teachers, and find your drugs of choice. I’ve practiced Bikram for 10 years. This studio has helped me with running, MMA, fatherhood, balance at work etc. It’s full of badassery! And don’t forget, in Standing Bow, come forward like a gangster!

Staff makes the mistake, and yet I have to pay the consequence.
My experience with this business quickly turned sour after I had signed up and paid for a 30 class pass. The price for these classes was expensive and so I was excited when I found out about the student discount and after a lot of consideration I made adjustments in my budget to purchase the 30 class pass. I asked about the student discount, showed both my student ID and driver’s license to the staff Francisco, he looked at it for a few minutes each and proceeded to go forth with the transaction.
After the transaction, I was under the impression that I had paid my dues rightly so and was excited to get to attend these classes at the student rate, because I am a student and I have no income at the moment.
Two days later, I get a call from the owner Kaiyan, telling me that I’m not eligible for the student discount because of my age, and that I have to pay more or get refunded. She was curt, cold and I felt embarrassed as she pointed out my age, as if that meant I shouldn’t be needing a student discount.
I was in shock initially, so I needed to think and call back. Then I felt extremely upset at the kind of customer care that I was receiving. It doesn’t make sense that the customer is paying the consequence for her staff’s mistake and her lack of training her staff.
I hadn’t done anything wrong, I didn’t hide my age, I was up front about it and if there were these policies your company has about your deals, it needs to be brought to the customer’s attention BEFORE the transaction is made not after.
It just doesn’t make sense the kind of customer service that is being provided. When the business is at fault, the business takes the loss. Its common sense.
Either way, you should do a more thorough job of training your staff and also it’ll be good to learn about to handle customer service and customer care. It is unfortunate because when there is a day that I can afford to take these classes here, I do not desire to come to this studio.

I purchased a three week unlimited pass online and did not like it the first time I went. I went again today thinking I will just finish off the pass, but have decided that this place is not for me. A few things that I personally was turned off by (these may not be negative to everyone) —
–Carpet in the main studio. I am so uncomfortable stepping out onto the carpet or even laying my arms down on it because I have MRSA and am prone to cysts and infections. This carpet is 100% sweaty from students.
–Instructors are nit-​picky about things that I personally feel should be left to me and my practice. I am unfamiliar with the strict rules of Bikram, but instructors go above and beyond making posture corrections. It is disruptive if you are not used to that/​do not welcome it.
–Front desk is left unattended frequently making getting a hold of someone very difficult.
–Shower smells of mildew.
Yoga studios are all different– some make you feel right at home, others leave you feeling uncomfortable. By no means is Bikram Yoga Fullerton a bad studio, but this is a personal review; I will be taking my butt elsewhere. Best of luck to you all!

I learned so much inside today.
My instructor says I have potential for this practice. I am grateful to know he sees that in me. I want to understand: I want to attain oneness with everything this lifetime. That is where the real reward is: In undoing what you’ve done to yourself out of ignorance.
Give yourself over to the process: Become ONE with LETTING GO. And you will see the Truth. For me, practice is performed with a sincere desire and humble mind.
Cultivate egoless love– by observing the Truth in how you react – when you are in a difficult place. Be brave. Face everything with LOVE.
Satyam Shivam sundaram.
