I am really enjoying doing semi-private classes with Diana. Its great to being the studio! I am extremely grateful for the effort that went into making this possible. I feel very comfortable in the studio because of Diana and her Team’s focus on providing a healthy and safe environment for everyone. I highly recommend considering trying semi-private classes. ...my body is certainly glad I did!

Many gems in life has to be found. I am so blessed to have found such a gem in my life such as Bikram Yoga Rockville. There are so many great instructors. Each instructor will lead you to different levels of greatness within yourself. Sometimes in life we resist the things we need the absolute most. Initially I resisted Diana and I had to dig deep within my soul drop my ego and accept her love, embrace her assistance and understand her ultimate existence is to better everyone during their practice. I wish more people knew about Bikram Yoga Rockville. If you are ready for a seed of gratification and peace to be planted into your life here is the start to you new beginnings. Blessings to each instructor and thank you for leading me to peace within my soul and existence. Thanks again to each every person at this location. Follow your heart to this location and I promise you will never regret it.

Bikram Yoga Rockville is a wonderful place for beginners and advanced yogis alike. I was super nervous before I took my first class almost three years ago. I talked to a staff member on the phone, who was super welcoming and encouraging. I took my first class and fell in love. All of the staff are super friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The sense of community that this place has starts from the top and permeates throughout everyone in all of the classes. I have very much missed the hot room experience during COVID (there are still private lessons for those that want them) but the way the studio has pivoted to virtual sessions, both live and on demand, has been really impressive. I especially like being able to take the on demand classes (the options are always changing) whenever I want. These classes have brought me such a sense of peace and a bit of normality during these difficult times.

We love the vibes at Bikram Rockville! It feels like an extension of family when we walk in. Everyone knows our first names and checks in on how were doing. Bikram is part of our weekly workout routine. Thank you for being the best!

So impressed with how this studio has adjusted to all virtual classes. Videos on demand is so amazing for a busy schedule, I can access all teachers and classes anytime by logging into my account. I am so grateful all of the teachers have continued to support and share their knowledge with our community. If you know anyone interested in taking class, dont wait for the pandemic to be over start now! Create an account and join! Peace and love.

I started practicing yoga with BYR since 2007. The staff are so welcoming, helpful and professional. The studio is always clean and comfortable. The students are super kind to each other. I love the BYR community. I am very impressed with all virtual classes the studio offers at this time and cant wait to go back to the hot room when the pandemic is over.

I have been going to this studio for years primarily because of the friendly staff and clean studio. Being greeted by name as soon as I walk in always warms my heart. Its also a plus to walk into a hot room that does not smell. Thank you BYR for being my home away from home.

I have been coming to BYR since 2016 and I was sad to see them being closed for the group classes due to Covid19. But, was relieved and happy to see they are still open for private sessions.I recently took a few private sessions back at the studio and it felt amazing to be back in the Hot Room. Teachers and staff at BYR are top notch and they also take the cleanliness seriously even before Covid19.I felt safe and pleased to see how thorough they are with safety and cleanliness. Cant wait for another session! Thank you BYR Team!

I have been part of the Bikram Yoga Rockville studio for over five years as a regular practitioner. Thankful for the strength and kindness of this entire community - Diana, the BYR teachers, and all of the students. The transition to virtual, live classes was seamless in March 2020 and theres a wonderful library of videos on demand (VOD) that motivate me to stay healthy & strong - both inside & out. Theres something for everyone at BYR

This studio offers fantastic hot yoga classes! The heated rooms significantly increase the health and healing benefit of yoga. I rely on it to manage my back pain, it has completely replaced and surpassed my physical therapy.They offer a variety of class types to fit different skill levels, though all classes are approachable even for beginners. The instructors offer individual advice during and after class upon request. Speaking of instructors, they are all awesome! They are highly trained and very friendly. Diana, the studio owner, runs a tight ship and keeps all the rooms clean and the classes on time. She also offers workshops, fundraising and social events, yoga retreat vacations, and teacher training.The rates are good and the schedule is generous. Ive practiced at the studio for 8 years now and always get the annual membership. It is a great deal. Ive been to perhaps a dozen hot-yoga studios around the country, and this one is the best. Stop reading this review and go try it out!

This is a wonderful yoga studio. I have practiced in many Bikram studios in LA and NY that were not nearly as nice as this one! It is clean and lovely, the staff is so friendly and the instructors are the best I have ever had. Thank you Diana for creating such a welcoming and special atmosphere.

Best Bikram in the area. Love the teachers, the community and the cleanliness of the studio. You can tell they really care about the students and that they are serious about wanting you to improve and succeed! I am so much stronger and more flexible since Ive been practicing at Bikram Rockville. I still have a ways to go to reach my overall goals but this is the place that I know will help me get there!

These guys are phenomenal! I’ve been practicing bikram for over 10 years, and continue to learn something new almost each class! Although all instructors are superb, I especially take my hat off to Diana, the studio director & Christina! They adjust and give fantastic instructions to improve my practice. I also love the hybrid classes that add core work to the regular class. I am so grateful that I discovered this studio!!

This studio is a true gem. Easy to find, its in a great location with ample parking. Are you a germophobe like me? You are in luck! This place is sparking clean and expertly maintained. Great layout with a spacious changing/shower room. Cute little retail area and lots of refreshing beverages to help keep you hydrated. Fantastic heat and humidity ratio in the hot room. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. Everyone is so welcoming! Now, on to the instruction... I took Dianas 6pm class and it was such a treat. I found her class to be non-judgmental and patient. She exudes confidence and trustworthiness while keeping the spirit of the class positive and fun. For the first time in a long time I was truly able to relax my mind in class. Come take a class. You will be be glad you did.

BYR is truly a community, not just another gym. The teachers are knowledgeable, patient, and kind. They encourage self awareness and meditative practice. They encourage you to push yourself to your limits but not to the point of injury and with a careful eye for adjustments and correct posture. It is a clean, beautiful space where people of all skill levels, shapes and sizes are seen and welcomed. Drink lots of water and be prepared to sweat more than youve ever sweat before!

We are staying in Gaithersburg with my mom for a short time, and while its hard to leave my beloved studio back home I have found total sanctuary at Bikram Rockville. The studio is clean, organized, gorgeous; the staff is knowledgeable and helpful; the teachers are very competent and clear in class delivery. Louis and Diane were accommodating and kind upon arrival. We love it here and cant wait to explore more!

This place is absolutely phenomenal! Clean and calm atmosphere. If Spiritual and mental growth is what youre seeking, along with overall well-being and health, look no further. The instructors are incredible, knowledgeable, and dumb things down for a not so bright guy like myself. Great vibe with a genuine desire to truly assist wherever need be. I highly recommend this place! You really have nothing to lose. Give it a shot. 🙂🙂

I have been coming to BY Rockville for quite some time. It is a fantastic studio with welcoming and supportive teachers and staff who help everyone strengthen their practice. Other than traditional Bikram yoga, there are many other types of classes that are also offered at the studio. If you are really lucky, you might even catch a Bikram class from a guest teacher - there have been some fabulous teachers in the past!

I have been doing Hot Yoga religiously since beginning of 2017 at this facility and LOVE IT.Hot Yoga has revive my body and my health overall. I were in 2 car accidents. I were with Chiropractor due to pains in my neck, shoulder, back for 2 years. I could not sleep at night, always have headache. The Chiropractor cracked my body here and there. I felt good for 1 day and my body was back to square one. Until my left arm started to feel numbed with crucial pains. The arm got worst and cant even lift or do anything.I started to go back to Bikram Hot Yoga. It was quite a mental challenge for me to begin with all the existing pains. I always think too tired after work, not doing any exercise or going to hot yoga but one day I did. I planned to sleep off in the heated room to be sweated off then go home. To my surprise, I survived the class without sleeping as I planned. I felt so amazingly good and the headache was gone. Since then, I were so determine to do 4-5 times a week religiously. Also, I slept like a baby at night.After 4 months, my body started to tone up and feel the beneficial of the hot yoga. I felt more energetic, the pains has lessen. Hot yoga has cured my left arm to be stronger. My body has changed tremendously for good health and the better me. Thank you Rockville Bikram Yoga and the friendly staffs.

Bikram Yoga of Rockville is a warm, welcoming studio that will guide you, challenge you, and maybe even help you on your life path. I visit Maryland many times a year, and being able to come to my home away from home studio means the world to me. Diana has a deep and grounded perspective in the way she teaches and holds space, every time I take a class with her I remember what yoga is all about, and why I practice it. Her passion for yoga is contagious- i highly recommend beginners to this studio, as well as advanced practitioners. What a great place to find yourself! Thanks BYR for making my life better every time I get to visit!

This is a terrific Bikram Studio with a lot of positive aura. Diana and her team of talented instructors are very welcoming and helpful. For example, on occasions when you arrive a bit late to the class, the front desk and the instructors actively make sure you have a place in the studio and will shield you from the embarrassment of squeezing in. The studio is relatively spacious but more often than not fills up for classes, so plan to arrive at least a few minutes ahead of class. They offer multiple classes that one can choose from, 7 days a week. I especially appreciate the shorter hour-long late evening Bikram class (7:30-8:30 pm) on weekdays. It is perfect for folks who work late but still need their daily dose of heat and perspiration. The fellow practitioners are congenial and welcoming. Overall, I absolutely recommend this place for any Yoga practitioner out there, looking for a welcoming studio.

Best hot yoga studio hands down! This isnt a studio where the heat is just turned up therefore wreaking havoc on your sinuses and your overall well being! The moisture level in the room is supported by large humidifiers. The staff is warm and welcoming. Get here early...classes are usually full!

Recent college grad who fell in love with this studio from the get go. Amazingly welcoming community, clean and beautiful studio space, amazing teachers and varied classes/times. Out of the 20+ studios I have been to, this one is by far the best. 30 day challenges are a must:)

Review №29

Such nice staff! I had never done hot yoga or bikram yoga before, but this yoga studio made me felt welcomed and included. The owner is almost always at the front desk welcoming yogis by name (even me, after only having been there once) and making sure everyone is prepared for class (mat, towel, water). The instructors are very mindful to include modifications for anyone who might have preexisting injuries, yet also include the option to move into more challenging poses if you are able to. I had great experiences with instructors (John was the best!) though some were a little too boot camp-y for my liking, especially for a yoga class.Overall, Id definitely recommend this yoga studio to anyone looking for a hot yoga place. Be prepared to sweat and get strong!!!

Everybody know that Yoga is good for health and longevity. What makes Hot Yoga at this studio different - 1) Teachers and 2) Students.Teachers here know the subject and their commentary is outstanding. Angela, Nadia, Diana and all are very knowledgeable and caring.Students are very disciplined and committed - all seem to be genuinely engrossed and the room is full of team spirit. Excellent place to practice.I shall ever remain grateful to the teachers here who correct my postures. Thank You. Girish Kotecha.

I have been doing Bikram Yoga for over 15 years and this studio is my home. I have gone to countless other locations in Maryland and Virginia (and even New York), but the Rockville studio is by far my favorite. Diana, the owner, is nothing but genuine and light hearted. The staff has always been engaging and informative throughout the years. They always ask students to come up to them to talk about poses or discuss their injuries. They will offer accommodations if they are available. The staff and studio has my highest praises and love.

This studio is absolutely everything to me. I came at a time when I felt discouraged about my workouts and bored going to and from the gym everyday. I walked in a couple of months ago with a few of my friends and we loved it the first time. I continued coming back myself because the staff made an effort to personally get to know me and remember my name. It has felt like I was immediately accepted into a community of genuine, real and loving people. When practicing, each instructor will take their time to make corrections in order to improve, which is the ultimate goal. Although I am moving out of the country for two years, the second I return home I will be coming back to this studio. Absolutely amazing! Thank you to all the staff who diligently works to create such a wonderful environment!

Bikram Yoga Rockville was my first introduction to a Bikram practice, years ago. All the yogis who teach there, especially the owner, Diana, are gifted and encouraging. I moved down-county, where I now practice at another Bikram studio, but the instruction I got at Rockville was superior. Diana plans AMAZING yoga retreats, and in this way I stay in touch with my first classmates. This studio is truly transformative.

I had no idea about Bikram Yoga before my friends suggested me to take a class as I was looking to improve my flexibility. After joining Bikram Yoga classes at Rockville, there has been impressive change in me, not only did I increase my flexibility, but my breathing pattern has improved and my attitude towards work has changed. I get up fresh every single day and I actually look forward to take another class.I have been to many yoga classes in the past, but the staff at Rockville makes sure to give you personal attention. I can never forget my first yoga teacher, Diana. She made sure I am on time, I bring all necessary stuff for the class and always made me feel like Im taking a personal tuition for yoga. She just made me feel comfortable and I can see the change in me and my mindset. A special thanks to Spencer and Lisbeth. They are phenomenal with their knowledge and makes sure the atmosphere never gets dull.I strongly recommend anyone who is looking forward to bring a positive change in lifestyle to try Yoga and there cant be any better place than Bikram Yoga at Rockville. They know what they are doing, simply the best in DMV area.- Kavit.

Where do I begin? BYR is a wonderful sanctuary. With mood-boosting colorful walls and friendly staff, I know I can always go in and have a great practice no matter who the instructor is (theyre all fantastic and so knowledgeable). The studio is spotless - the cleanest Ive ever been to, and the atmosphere is so welcoming. BYR is my happy place. The studio has a great sense of community amongst yogis and is a perfect place to foster growth in your practice.

Fantastic place. 10/10 no question about it. I am a begginer and I was welcome with open arms. I came once and have come everyday since. The atmosphere is amazing and the staff are very good at what they do and on top of that they are the upmost friendly. They even knew me by name on my first day in a 20 person class. The studio is exactly what you want if youre looking for hot yoga, ive been working out with weights for over 2 years and have never been challenged as much as i was here. I feel AMAZING everytime i leave the studio. Great place for begginers and experts. Ive only had 2 instructers, Christina and Nadia, both were amazing, friendly, smart, and energetic. If youre looking to get healthy, get fit, sweat, or ease your mind give this place a shot, chances are you’ll be back every chance you get.

After recently moving back to the area after college, I joined BYR looking to expand my yoga practice beyond the free college gym yoga I had been accustomed to. Bikram yoga helped not only by healing my physical ailments (knee problems) but also by providing a safe space for me to find community. Diana, the owner, connected with me during my 2 week intro period and I was delighted to find out about the work-study program they offer. I know from first-hand experience how hard everyone works to keep the studio spotless. During the past several months, I have grown in my yoga practice thanks to BYRs support and have made countless connections and friendships that I will cherish.Hot yoga can often be intimidating to get into: can I handle 105 degrees? should I do 60 minute or 90 minute? do I have everything I need? why hot yoga anyway? BYR has always been there to alleviate any doubts I have and has been real about pushing me to be the best person - and yogi - I can be. It has been a humbling past several months learning and working with the BYR team. I definitely recommend anybody thinking about yoga to check out this studio; the rewards will become apparent as soon as your first class.

Review №51

Nothing but positivity at Bikram Yoga Rockville! For the very first time ever, I found a practice that is very easy to commit to and I truly enjoy. I’ve tried everything – I joined a gym, CrossFit, swimming – and nothing lasted for more than 2 months. I’ve been coming to BYR now for almost two years and so far, I have no plans of stopping. The owner, Diana, is nurturing, encouraging, funny, and most of all compassionate. When I requested to suspend my monthly membership and payment to care for my parents who were ill, Diana responded by suspending my payments immediately and offering me 5 free sessions which I could use for a period of two months. She then reminded me that I also needed to take care of myself and encouraged me to drop by BYR when I find the time. When things seemed bleak, Diana showed me nothing but kindness, care and understanding. So now, I’m always full of positive energy and excitement every time I go to BYR. I also appreciate all the instructors who are all so awesome! The facility is always very clean. The studio has no smell whatsoever, which I know people have been concerned and have asked me about. There really must be something about Bikram Yoga Rockville, Diana, the instructors, and the facility, because I can’t help but keep coming back. Thank you, Diana, and BYR for changing my life. I am truly a new person because of you!
