A great yoga experience. I was exhausted but felt a lot fun. The shower room is crowded and did not give people enough time to shower.

Bikram Yoga San Jose is a true gem for the Bikram Yoga community. The teachers deliver great and consistent dialogue, making each class clear, focused, and accessible no matter where you are in your practice. Their robust schedule is incredibly accommodating, offering so many options to fit different time zones and lifestyles.

The owner’s presence is unmistakable—leading by example with dedication and care that radiates through the entire experience with her studio. I’m especially grateful that their schedule remains LIVE. Living in Belgium without a local studio nearby, this has been a lifeline for me to stay connected to my practice.

Thank you, Bikram Yoga San Jose, for keeping this powerful practice alive and accessible for yogis everywhere!

I am pissed off at Biktam’s Yoga San Jose. I bought 10 classes for 68.99 on Groupon, but I attended only one class and couldn’t attend the rest due to travel until the coupon period expired. When I came back, I called them and asked to try another class which I think I deserve as I paid the equivalent of two classes at the regular price. They refused that and told me I should buy one of their class packages. So infuriated at this ripoff.

I love Bikram Yoga San Jose! This sleek, clean studio is perfect for enhancing well-being. The 26-pose routine in the 90-minute class is consistent, but each instructor adds a unique touch, whether it's technique, spirituality, or motivation. The easy online registration and no penalties for late cancellations are great. Just be on time as doors lock when class starts.
Yoga has always been beneficial, but Bikram Yoga in a 105-degree room has truly healed my body, even fixing an old knee injury within weeks. Regular practice has boosted my strength, balance, endurance, focus, and clarity. It makes me feel like I can achieve anything. I'm addicted!

A vibrant kind community who is welcoming and open hearted. I started w the intro month and then signed up with a monthly package. The classes are traditional bikram style, the teachers are knowledgeable and stick to the scientific essence of the poses.

This style of yoga teaches me resiliency, the importance of effort and challenges my mindset. I feel stronger after each class.

Highly rec giving it a try! You won’t regret it. Thank you Michelle, Sarah and Matt for dedicating so much heart to every class you lead.

My girlfriend went and said it was awful. The instructor wouldn’t let them get water, the instructor wouldn’t stop yelling people that weren’t doing it right and she said she almost passed out because of dehydration. She came home and got a massive headache because of how dehydrated she was. Do not use the Groupon deal unless you like being tortured.

My recent experience at the yoga studio was disheartening due to the discourteous behavior of the front desk attendant. Despite arriving just a minute late, I was met with extreme rudeness. The attendant spoke in a very high tone, even though she couldn't permit my entry.

This was an unprecedented experience for me in this neighborhood. I held this place in high regard and had even recommended it to my husband and two friends. However, this incident has led us to the decision of never returning.

I sincerely urge the management to conduct proper training sessions for their employees on the significance of polite and respectful communication with customers. Sadly, this encounter has left a lasting negative impression, prompting us to seek alternative yoga studios in the future.

the studio is carpeted which i believe is absolutely disgusting for a place where people are dripping with sweat. It smells exactly as bad as you would expect it to. The instructors are also non stop shouting for you to go deeper in the pose, which made it impossible for me to actually focus inwardly and achieve what they are asking. If you are new they will also single you out for the entire class. It feels like public humiliation as they stand at the front of the class and tell everyone what you specifically are doing wrong, instead of the discrete adjustments you get at a typical vinyasa type studio. To make things worse, the instructor mispronounced my name the entire time. Horrible to be consistently singled out, horrendous to have my name butchered while they do it. And it’s not just one comment per pose, the instructor will hyperfocus on you until you change to their satisfaction or time for the pose has run out. They don’t help you get the pose right either, so it’s not a good environment to learn or improve, just shame. The adjustment they asked me to make, locking my knee, is also not possible for my body as i have a knee issue, and when i tried to let the instructor know this so I could stop being yelled at, I was told to “shut your mouth” since the focus is on breathing through the nose. Overall terrible experience, I only used 3 of the 8 classes on my groupon because I left infuriated every time. This studio definitely carries on the abusive traditions of Bikram himself.

Friendly, helpful — sticks to the Bikram’s protocol. The teachers are knowledgeable and the studio is immaculate. Can’t stress how good the overall experience is. I drive 1/2 hour there and back just so I can go to this particular studio. Also, all levels are welcome. There isn’t a sense of competition. It’s all about where you are in your practice.

Nothing going on here is OK. From the damp, stinking carpet, to the insistence on locking out your joints, to the visible pictures of known abuser Bikram still on the walls. Stay away. One star just for the friendly staff and students, who seem oblivious to the real purpose of yoga.

I came at 11:59 and they shut the door on my face. The class didn't even start yet, I could see it. I understand that being late can be disturbing but I wasn't late. I have have been practicing Bikram in New York, San Diego and understand the rules, but this is too extreme.

I’m a mom of 3 little kids, and this class was the only thing where i can spend time with myself. But they ruined my experience today. I was just 2 minutes late because my older didn’t want me to go, so I have to console him first. They didn’t let me in because their policy - how can they bring happiness in peoples life…

Off-duty teacher told me to go back into the hot room when I was feeling dizzy/nauseous due to overheating.

Studio was fine other than the dangerous advice from an ignorant Yogi who feels he knows more about my body than I do.

The room is carpeted and smells terrible. Don’t be fooled by the pictures -the carpet itself has a hard wood floor print. 15 min into my first class and I was called out in the room by the instructor and was told I can’t drink water (only on permitted breaks)...what? That’s just ridiculous. I guess drinking water was disruptive to her. This place is everything opposite of zen. I bought a groupon for 20 classes and unfortunately I won’t be going back.

I have been going to this studio for couple years now. I love love going here. There were some reviews on the “stench” or “smell” but when you sweat oodles or calories on a carpeted room, it’s expected.

I love the teachers here. I look forward to classes by Ashley Arai, Amelia, and Matt. These are my favorites and make the class mindful, interesting, fun, and productive. I highly recommend this studio for your Bikram Yoga needs!

Great community - seriously, you will meet the best people here. Full schedule of 90 minute Bikram yoga classes.

I'm a member of this studio since 2007 when it was at its old location just around the corner. Have been very impressed by the teachers over the years - they are all very passionate. The practice has helped the healing with all sort of minor ailments like tennis elbow, cold sore, bruises etc. Love the new studio, highly recommend it!

I really like this studio. I'm sure my review isn't much different from the other high-rated reviews, but this is a clean and friendly studio with passionate teachers. However, the real bottom line for me is that a regular Bikram practice has made tremendous improvement in my lower back pain. It didn't happen over night, and some days are better than others, but BYSJ makes it easy to keep up a regular practice, which was been the key to improving my back pain.

Most days they offer 7 classes, but a minimum of 5 with many opportunities for clinics to improve if you're a brand-new beginner or an experienced praticioner.

They offer great deals for first-timers to see if you like the experience. 90 minutes of yoga in a heated room isn't for everybody, but compared to other fitness-type classes or physical therapy, it's a bargain if you continue to go.

I would certainly recommend researching the Bikram practice a little big before jumping in, but you can't go wrong with giving it a shot here at BYSJ.

I started San Jose Bikram Yoga using a 10 practice Groupon. One of the best decisions I've made in my life in regards to my health and mind. I tried a couple of the other Bikram studios, but nothing compares to San Jose Bikram. It is state of the art and each and every instructor is warm, knowledgeable and caring to me as an individual. I can't image ever stopping my practice. I truly love it! Namaste.

Love this place! I just started coming to Bikram Yoga a few weeks ago. There are so many things I appreciate -

Instructors: I have had the pleasure of trying out classes with the various instructors. There is definitely someone to meet everyone's taste. Some are faster, some explain and take time to correct, some are gentle and patient. All are focused on their passion for the practice!

Environment: So welcoming! From the art on the walls, to the positive sayings on the bathroom doors, to the light and air in the main lobby. I felt at ease walking in and cozying up in the comfy chairs in front. There are locker rooms and showers available, making it easy to freshen up before heading to work or the next event.

Members: It is beyond beautiful to see so many different types of people. All ages, all shapes, all experience levels. Everyone has the same goal (I'm assuming) of getting stronger in their practice and all the healing that comes from it.

I am very much looking forward to seeing how I can grow from being consistent in my practice.

Bikram Yoga San Jose has been a very special gift in my life. It is a beautiful facility with authentic Bikram Yoga teachers. The studio teaches authentic, 90 minute Bikram method classes. Although the heat and the length of the class might sound intimidating, over time I have seen my body acclimate to the heat while getting stronger and more flexible. I leave every class in a better mood than when I came in. I feel refreshed and renewed after each class, and the teachers never fail to make me smile. My favorite part of BYSJ is that the teachers genuinely care for the students, and the owner has a huge love for not only the students who come to practice, but also for the series itself. I admire the teacher and owner's passion for the method and the strong belief here that the method is not to be diluted. I highly recommend you come try out a class, no matter your experience in yoga, your fitness level, or anything. Just come with an open mind, and I think you will leave the class feeling better than when you came!

a few months ago I couldn't understand the purpose of yoga; I run, so yoga seemed awfully silly and the only reason I tried this place was because it is located within 3 min drive from my house and I'm too old to run every day. Now I go regularly. I attend 5:30 and 6 am classes. Once I attended 10am-weekend class, but never again! it is packed! The beauty of this yoga that it's unlikely to "break you" like ashtanga and at the same time you can start doing it only at 20% of what "regulars" would do. It still would be useful, even at 20%. You can improve with time. I feel it is much more challenging for me now because I understand more about what has to be done than it was during my first few classes. Needless to say, I'm no expert in yoga, but I like this place

I have been regularly practicing Bikram for 3 years at this studio and have found it to be the cleanest, most well organized Bikram studio I have ever visited. The array of teachers are talented, friendly, knowledgeable, and motivational. The down side: Many, many students practice here and if you happen to catch a crowded class, the locker rooms can be a bit tight to maneuver. (Not much of a downside...). I have practiced in Hawaii, Palm Desert, Santa Barbara, and at various studios in Michigan and am glad to call BYSJ my home. Michelle runs this place with love and passion and everyone can feel that when they join a class. Highly recommended!
