Hot yoga was fun until the instructor did not allow my friend to go out and get some air. She attempted to leave the class three times because she wasn't feeling good and the smell was really bad. I did not appreciate how she kept calling her out for wanting to leave the room. It's her first class so she is adjusting. Also the yoga mat that we rented has a certain smell . Instructor should understand that we have our own pace.

Well I love Bikram so much that I came back twice. The only thing that smelled worse then the room was the towel and yoga mat I rented. I enjoyed KJ's class more then Rafaela's... it may have been the worst Bikram class I've ever taken and I've had some bad classes. When KJ was the instructor the room seemed 120 degrees. Very hot. When Rafaela taught it it seemed Maybe 90 degrees... a huge difference and in Rafaela's class there were some girls new to Bikram and taking their first class and I felt so bad for them because Rafaela didn't give them any extra instruction at all. No help with any of the postures. At all. One of them looked like she was going to pass out and I saw her mouth to her friend I AM NOT OKAY... I whispered to her, "Hey, you can always go out of the room for a few minutes if you aren't feeling well and come back in... " Rafaela scolded me for this saying, "Emma, we do not talk in class!" and then the girl did exit the room and Rafaela didn't even go check on her. In my experience if I ever left the room due to overheating the instructor always would go check on the person to make sure they hadn't passed out. The studio door never gets locked so your belongings just sit out there and I all I read was these signs saying Studio not responsible for stolen items so literally brought a cooler to keep my stuff in and took it into the class with Rafaela and she scolded me for that too. She said do not bring your stuff into my class. I had to take an uber from my hotel so I didn't have an option of leaving anything in my car. I didn't want to explain that and was not in the mood to talk to her so I ended up leaving my disgusting yoga mat and towel in the room and leaving. I will not ever go back to this studio. I wish KJ well because she informed the class and me of all her injuries and upcoming surgery. I just felt so sorry for her. Plus they didn't tell me that if you are a drop in and paying for 1 class only the mat and towel rental are free... I payed for my class online and so after KJ's class, before I read online that your towel and mat rental are free with a drop in... I bought a yoga outfit and Kambucha drink because I read a sign that said no card payments under 10 dollars. Also the changing area for woman is see through and I felt so uncomfortable changing in there! Ah what a freakin' nightmare. Never again!

Great place to do hot yoga. I really enjoy taking classes from Rafaela because she really pushes you and creates a space for you to become more aware of your body, your breathe, and yourself. Thank you 🙏🏻 …

Hello.This message is to give positive feedback and shine some light on one of your instructors KJ Landis. I would like to let you know that she is an amazing yoga instructor and always has a very positive energy in our classes. I enjoy the fact that she is very involved with all of us. She will give you immediate feedback and inform you of micro-adjustments needed in order to preform the poses properly. About a year and a half ago I had a minor meniscus strain/tear preforming the toe-stand incorrectly. With a teacher like KJ that likely would have been avoided. I was lucky enough to recover naturally, with very little leftover negative symptoms. If there is any way you can give KJ more classes at the facility here in Day City please do so! I have noticed it has been harder to go to her classes because she has been on the schedule less. I also feel many others can benefit from her & also help prevent future injuries such as mine, by having the proper instructions from someone like KJ.Thank you!

First time trying this particular studio via ClassPass and left after 30 minutes primarily because of the unprofessional and hostile attitude from the instructor. My Classpass review has been deleted, so I decided to post it here.The first negative encounter with the instructor began as the session started. I realized I forgot to track this workout on my fitness app, so I glanced down and started it on my watch. The instructor noticed this and made a remark saying that digital devices should be put away and that we should concentrate on the exercises. It was an honest mistake on my part and I felt that this remark was not needed, A little leeway should have been given since it was the start of the session.The heat at this studio was by far the hottest I've ever experienced. Much higher than my comfort level. However, I decided to stick with it since I was already here. After the first group water break 15 minutes in, the instructor mentioned to the class that they can take water break whenever they felt they needed to as there wouldn't be anymore group ones after this. After another 15 minutes, I felt like I reached my limited and needed to step outside.So I stepped out quietly as the entire class was still practicing. The instructor was positioned in front of the exit and had to pause her routine to let me through. After my break I headed back into the session and immediately the instructor made another remark by saying, "We should respect each other, respect the teacher and respect the class. Don't go out for water while others are doing movements." I was astonished at this comment from her! She previously instructed us saying that we can take our own breaks. Is the instructor seriously scolding me for going out? Perhaps she didn't think anyone would need another water break so soon after the first one and that I was somehow purposely disrupting the class? This is not the case at all! Admittedly I am a bit out of shape when compared to the rest of the class so my stamina would not be as high as everyone else's. I felt so ashamed that the instructor was singling me out.At this point, I felt like I needed leave and did so at the second official water break even though the instructor mentioned that there wouldn't be anymore.I've never felt so unwelcome and honestly humiliated at a yoga studio before.

I have to say, this studio and the teachers are wonderful. The price is unbeatable for the Bay Area, the studio is safe and clean with plenty of parking. My only wish is that we get a studio water fountain. Jennifer K is hands down the BEST yoga teacher I've ever had. I always check the schedule to see when she is teaching. I've been going to this studio for ~3 years now, and Jennifer continues to help me improve my practice each class. I wish she taught more 6pm classes!

My first time doing yoga in 10 years. I am not flexible and my body shape is not the best. Alex, the yoga instructor made the class fun. I felt very comfortable being in the class. I took two breaks in between the session because I was not feeling well and I needed to step out to get fresh air, I didn’t feel judge but others for leaving the classroom. Everyone in the class smiled and they were friendly to meZ definitely coming back. Also,There is a monthly special that is $45 for unlimited classes for a month.

Great instructors, and offer a variety of classes besides Bikram. This studio renovated their flooring so it no longer smells inside - yay no carpet. Parking can be difficult on weekends when the next door Chinese restaurant has crowds of …

Bikram Hot Yoga in Daly City is a great studio. The environment is friendly and the instructors are super helpful. I thoroughly enjoy taking classes here. Plenty of shower space for after classes never have to wait for the showers to open up.
