October 23, 2012 TomS I disagree with the tone of Jeanieji's caustic review from 10/2011. I can not comment on the facts of her experience that day in Minneapolis. My experience is this this is a very fine studio. Like Jean, I travel to Minneapolis 4-5 times a year. Also, I am a big fan of Bikram Yoga and have been doing regular session 2-3 times a week from my home studio in the Philadelphia. When I travel to Minneapolis I check in as a guest to Bikram yoga of Minneapolis on Lyndale. I have visited the studio 3-4 times sinc... read more

Stinky hot yoga, BAD combination! – I live in FL and travel to the Minneapolis area for work a few times a year. I've become a big fan of Bikram and flow over the last 6 months and attend classes on a pretty regular basis, usually 2-3 times a week, in my home base, Tampa. I chose to take a class at Bikram's College of Yoga in Uptown Minneapolis, since it was the closest studio recommended by Bikram's website. I drove a little farther although there is a yoga studio less than a mile from the hotel I am based at here, because ... read more

Love It- Try It! – Bikram Yoga is wonderful. The MPLS location is great. Also try the St Paul location- very nice. Bikram Yoga has changed my life. The only thing on my wish list is that all the Twin Cities Bikram Yoga studios had tuition sharing. I work on one side of town and live on the other. Being a mom, working full-time and trying to fit in Yoga can sometimes be difficult. I've got an idea... Yoga daycare for Bikram Yoga classes. :)

Some like it Hot :-) – This is the real deal, a "by-the-book" Bikram class with the personal attention you deserve. I've practiced in St. Louis, Vermont, and Bloomington, MN and this is, by far, my favorite studio. The instruction and atmosphere is intense, but not intimidating or overwhelming. The studio itself is a retreat of mediation, it has a woodsy feel including real timber and swinging chairs for pre- or post- yoga relaxation. The only down point is the changing area is small. Sometimes you may find yourself bumping ... read more

If you can take the heat, this yoga practice can't be beat. – In Short Bikram yoga is traditional hatha yoga performed in a hot room--105 degrees with 50 percent humidity. This hip Lyn-Lake studio has been specially mechanized to keep those conditions constant, which means you'll be sweating before class even starts. The well-toned crowd loves it, though; they say the heat helps loosen muscles and joints, allowing better practice, and all that sweating is cleansing. Every 90-minute class is the same--the instructor guides st... read more
