Bikram Yoga — Local services in Katy

I have never left a bad review on any places in my life but I would spend my 10 minutes on this review for others so they would not experience the same.

I decided to try this place because of the great deal from Groupon. Today was my 6th class out of 10th and it has been ok until today...

After an hour and a half hot yoga practice, I was on my way out to my car and this 'male' instructor who happened to take the same practice with me as a student all of sudden stopped me saying that I have been disrespectful and distracting the practice by wiping myself, drinking water, doing my own thing including taking a break... COMPLETELY caught me off guard that I was told this like a little kid in front of three of other staff members, the instructor of the practice, receptionist, and the owner. I was like "I am sorry?" and he said "just try not do those because it is disrespectful and distracting"... then walked away.

My meditation mood immediately got disappeared by being humiliated and scolded in front of others, and now the owner lady added more by saying "Have you taken Bikram before? You will get used to it but we are strict and not allowed many things. We are not like YogaOne (which I told her I had no problem wiping myself and drinking water whenever I want to with YogaOne practices)"

I repeatedly told the owner that the way and the tone that the guy used was not appropriate and he could have approached me differently because I am not simply paying for something to disrespect and distract others. She kept arguing that he was not rude because she was right there hearing him and these two other staff members, the instructor of the practice and the receptionist, kept looking at me with this 'sorry face'.

At that point, I didn't feel like spending more time to let her understand that how inappropriate this whole situation with them being treating me like a little kid (by the way, I am 32), I told her I may not come back. She then pulled the entrance door trying not to let me leave but wanted to argue more!!! Now I had to tell her that I have to go then she was like "ha, ok, well yeah sure go" WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!

On top of disgusting 'CARPET' floor for Hot Yoga studio that it stinks like insane all the times that I cover my nose during the second half of the practice while laying down on the floor, they have this unprofessional and disrespectful owner and instructor who are not only humiliating and scolding their customer but also messing their customers'...

Bikram Yoga helped saved my life.Coming out of cancer treatment was hell! Bikram Yoga transformed and rebuilt my body and mind. I began Bikram Yoga at a different studio. Because I actually saw and felt its benefits I was driving all the way across town in rush hour traffic to practice. Since, I have been to almost every other studio in town looking for one that really met my needs. When BY Katy opened close to me I couldn't wait to sign up.I was one of the first. Not all studios are run the same. Your first visit will firmly establish that without doubt Holly and her family have built the finest, state of the art facility in town then staffed it with the best people out there. Every teacher is in great shape (practice what they preach!) patient and well trained. The facility is also by far the cleanest. I now go nowhere else unless I'm traveling out of town. I have become a total addict. I started nearly dead and now am quite healthy and alive! I even preach the benefits of Bikram Yoga all over the world to my scuba diving students for panic and breath control. It absolutely works for that as well. I recommend this practice and especially this studio to everyone...

LOVE this studio!! The classes are SO good and the community is supportive and friendly. I originally came for the hot yoga and ended up falling love with the Pilates classes, too! Admittedly, I wasn’t sure how I would enjoy the heat and now I can’t imagine a yoga room without it. I especially love that you’re able to make each practice your own. If you’re not feeling 100% any given day, it’s acceptable, and even encouraged, to go your own pace, even if that means sitting and meditating. The instructors are really great about encouraging each individual and even pulling students aside after class with praise and observations on their practice, offering suggestions as needed. I see this all the time, always done in a helpful, encouraging manner. Finally, I love the offering of retail products they sell- from hot yoga- specific mats to natural ingredient products that are so helpful with recovery! Nothing but love for Bikram Yoga Katy and their...
