Bikram Yoga East

Disgusting place with a psycho instructor. The locker rooms look like they have never been cleaned. I was afraid to put my purse down by the sink area, because it was so gross everywhere. They charge you 2 $ for what they call towels– which is really just a dirty looking rag, which I have not touched my face with. I came to try Bikram for the first time. I’m a 25 year old ACE certified fitness professional and I have also taken many types of Yoga. When I told the instructor that I had never tried Bikram, but I’m familiar with Yoga, he proudly announced that «we don’t do any kind of silly songs or prays here.» Then he said I should just watch the beginning and not do anything, because I’m new. After I was finally allowed to proceed, and I tried a few poses, (which were fairly easy for me because I’m extremely fit), I tried to drink some water, and he commanded to put it down and obey the rules, which I did. 20 minutes into the routine there came a move that I was not able to do properly because my quads are super tight, so he yelled that «That’s not how you are supposed to do this AT ALL! We are not doing Ballet here!!» That’s when I had enough of him. By the way, he was wearing tight bathing suit shorts and nothing else, which made me wanna throw up because he was so hairy all over. (why is he almost naked, when he is not the one exercising?) So I quietly took my things and went for the door, while he yelled: «HAVE A NICE LIFE, SEE IF YOU CAN FIND A BETTER STUDIO THAN THIS!»
