- Refrain from talking in the yoga room. Many students use the time before class to quietly meditate and center themselves as they prepare for class.
- Do your very best to stay in the yoga room once class begins. If an emergency requires you to leave, please leave and return to the yoga room between postures (not during).
- You may bring bottled water into class with you and the teacher will indicate the points during class when everyone takes their water breaks.

- Enjoy the peace and energy you're taking with you from class, and make up your mind to come back tomorrow!
I've been going to this yoga studio off and on for about 2 years. I've been to every Bikram yoga studio in San Diego and although they are all pretty good, this studio is my absolute favorite. The studio is maintained clean and tidy, the staff and fellow yogis are all very welcoming, and the owner and studio stays true to the practice.
The dialogue is the same during each class each yoga instructor offers their own special touch which I enjoy. I feel proud and grateful to have found MY hot yoga studio and at one point I was driving 30 minutes to this studio when there were 2 other studios closer to me (which I had tried out).
The owner Sonia is someone I've grown fond of. I love her because she's tough and full of love in the same breath. She honors the practice by communicating the dialogue while combining the medical benefits simultaneously.
I practice 3-4 times a week and come out of each class with more strength and patience. I definitely recommend this studio, just check the ego at the door and get ready to work.
