Fluid Yoga

I have been to yoga studios in at least 30 cities all over the world, practicing for nearly a decade. This is the rudest one I've ever been to. I've never walked out of one, or even had a bad experience at one, until today. I have personal & professional reasons for keeping my identity information as private as possible. Having already given them my name, address, phone number, email, and paid with a credit card online, the woman at the front desk greeted me with the hostile and officious demeanor of a prison matron, and demanded that I provide my full legal name before they would let me attend a class. I've never encountered this anywhere else and it makes no sense whatsoever, nor do they have any right to my full legal name (I provided my initials and last name as I do to any person or business I do not know personally). I simply told her goodbye and left. I'm still deliberating whether to demand a refund, as life is too short to fight with petty & nasty people.

In addition, the class was over-packed cheek to jowl with students crammed tightly together.

I've been a regular at several studios in SF and wanted to give this one a try.

Never again...

Those of you already on the Bikram bandwagon obviously aren’t daunted by the thought of 90 minutes of intense yoga in a sauna-like room. But the stale smell and funky carpet of some studios can repel even the most die-hard adherent. With its antimicrobial rubber flooring, eco-friendly heating system and bright modern decor, Bikram Yoga Inner Sunset is, literally, a breath of fresh air. And if you’re not sure you can take the heat, you can try as many classes as you want for 30 days, for only $30. FLUID Yoga 455 Judah St. at 10th Avenue, 415-753-8694
