Bikram Yoga Centennial Hills

Finally getting back to the habit with going to Bikram, the only yoga that I practice. Moving from Hawaii 3yrs ago and finding the perfect studio was a challenge. Studios are not as clean as the studios in Hawaii. That was the only reason that drove me away when I first moved here.
Driving the 20miles from home to Bikram Centennial Hills is worth it. Michael is a great instructor and very thorough with each pose. Teaching me something every time I go. A clean facility and friendly staff helps the transition to keep me coming back.

This studio is amazing. The instructors are encouraging and positive. The vibe is very relaxing. I have taken 4 classes so far, and I will definitely be back! This is a must try, drop in rate is $ 20.00 which is a great price. Don’t forget your towel and water!

I love all the instructors here! They are all very willing to help and they make each class amazing!

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. (As were the other people in my class)
The facility itself is nice. There’s ample parking, so that’s not an issue here. The locker rooms and bathrooms were clean and well kept. They also have showers which have curtains so you can shower after your session.
The room itself was very spacious and every practitioner had enough space for themselves. What really impressed me was that there wasn’t any smell from the room. Granted, I’ve never done bikram before today, I still expected at least that gym smell, which was pleasantly absent.
I’ve taken other yoga classes, but this was my first bikram experience. Vladimir was our yogi and he was amazing. He was nice, energetic, and encouraging, exactly what you’d want in an instructor. (I do well with positive reinforcement, so I was very happy.). The class itself was a workout. If they just put a collecting dish under me, the drought would be over. After class, he made himself available to answer any questions or talk, and while I wanted to tell him how much I enjoyed the class, I was so ready to get home and shower and eat after that amazing session.
As for first impressions, I’m very excited to return to take more classes from Vladimir, as well as the other teachers at this center.
Schedule wise, they have multiple classes every day, as well as Krav Mga sessions on weekends, so it’s very easy to fit into a schedule. (Very important for me)
Also of note, they do have some special pricing for first time students so be sure to ask. :)

So; my background. I started doing Bikram Yoga 12 years ago when the major studio was on Sahara and Highland. Why do I start with my background: because in all those years I’ve never had any issue with any Bikram yoga instructor.
See, Bikram Yoga is supposed to be positive and hard to do but easy for the soul. Every other Bikram yoga instructor from Patrice to Vlad have been so inspiring and wonderful; however Michael Cooper has been the one exception. His nastiness and crazy behavior has led two students (myself and my sig. Other) out of this studio permanently, which truly breaks my heart because this studios location and hours are truly which one Id want to go to.
I don’t know why he thinks he can talk to people the way he does; or tell people’s girlfriends after they leave «he needs to man up» in front of other Bikram students? This was so unprofessional my girlfriend never came back to the studio. At first I was enraged, why would anyone, professional, talk negatively publicly about someone to anyone else. Afterwards, I realized this was actually great news, see I’m a fighter and I have a hard time finding sparring. «Manning up» to me is a form of a challenge to go fight. Hence, after the initial shock, I realized maybe Mr. Cooper would like to spar with me. I gave him a thank you letter and wrote in the card when and where I spar at in an attempt to further his dialogue. I took pictures of what I wrote in the card so that Mr. Cooper who I witnessed to be a dramatic prima Donna (recently his claims in studio where his muscular brother wouldn’t have had a heart ailment if he had done yoga; a dubious claim that lends itself to his dramatic view of importance he has of himself.) couldn’t dramatize the letter. At any rate, I included my telephone number, email, and told him he’d be more then welcome to text or email me anytime.
Fine; if he didn’t like the card, after his unprofessionalism, he’d or this studio would have every right to text or email me I’m not allowed in his class any longer and either refund my money or let me go to class when all the other amazing teachers are teaching. This would’ve ended the whole situation and not resulted in this write up.
However, what does this studio do? Not say a word, wait until I show up to take the class at 5:30am and tell me then, I can’t take this class? That I paid for? That I have unlimited? Where I wasn’t talking bad about Mr. Cooper to anyone or disparaging him to any students publicly, I never argued with Mr. Cooper or any instructor.
I’m writing this because I do own my own business and I have numerous friends who do as well and I’m writing this to remind myself and my friends that you can have a perfect business, clients want to go to, and an employee can lose $ 200 a month revenue (what I paid for my gf and I monthly unlimited at westside Bikram before it shut down) for a business. Also, after this I will file a complaint with Better Business Bureau and Facebook and any other social media site simply telling the truth and rating this absolutely perfect business, in all other aspects, but Michael Cooper the lowest possible ratings.

I called to inquire if they offer a free first class for new students (most studios in town do this). The guy who answered the phone just said «Yeah» when he answered the phone. «not «hello» or some other greeting fitting of a business. They don’t offer the free class, which I don’t care about really. What I did care about is the fact that the voice on the other end of the line was harsh, unfriendly, and definitely not welcoming. I don’t think I want to go there, even though they have a great deal for new students ($ 29 unlimited for 2 weeks). Really, for a yoga studio, the «chi» was not good!

Great location! Great staff! Great prices! I feel energized and ready to attack the day after every class.

I received a Groupon for this studio as a gift. I was extremely disappointed and discouraged by this studio. I attended my first and only class with George. He made me feel mortified during the class by singling me out. Telling me that I wasn’t allowed to drink water until 20 minutes into the class, not to wipe the sweat out of my eyes with a towel because «it’s just going to come back», saying sarcastic remarks like «we’re almost on the ground». During a pose, he also asked me, «So who’s idea was this?», insinuating that I did not come here on my own. I have done regular yoga classes, but this was my first Bikram experience. I felt like a fool after leaving that class and will not return.

Great, friendly and encouraging staff. The Studio is very clean, and sanitized. They have separate showers with individual curtains and lockers.
They have Hydroflask water bottles for sale. These are awesome they don’t get hot. Perfect for the hot yoga room. Great to have our very own bikram yoga in the Northwest.

I must admit that when I first decided to try a class I thought it would be easy because I have above average flexibility. But 20 mins into the 90 mins class I found myself wondering if I would make it to the end as I looked at the clock.
The instructor encouraged me to hang in there and work at my own pace which ultimately helped me make it to the end. After that class I knew this was the place for me and I’ve been there since Sept 2014. I know I still have a long way to go but I’m thankful and looking forward to the journey!

Nice, clean studio, bathroom is clean, yoga studio does nit have a sweat odour, happy to have a studio on side of vegas, they have great opening specials, very convenient location, just off the 215…
I used the amazon local deal, but they also have groupon, deals.
I do plan on becoming a regular member here,

Today was my 6^th class, chronic lower back pain is greatly reduced already. The first couple of classes I struggled just to stay in the room. Today I not only had no trouble completing the class but did not skip any sets or postures (a huge accomplishment for me). The studio is clean and instructors are knowledgeable and chairing. Looking forward to the benefits of consistently coming here.

I am finally back to the only yoga class that works for me, Brikram Yoga. I haven’t practiced for 2 yrs! This is a great new studio. The changing room and especially the showers are a bit too small. I would definitely recommend it. Try it — your body will love you for it!

New to Bikram, the three instructors I’ve experienced have all been very friendly. Small studio, straight forward, affordable prices.

Great, clean studio! This is the first time ice tried bikram yoga and I’m so glad I did. The instructors/​owner are so nice and very helpful. On my first class they welcomed me and told me not to be nervous and just try and stay in the room, but if I needed to step out or take a break it was ok. Anthony was great!
The studio is very modern and super super clean! I took my mom today for the first time and she also enjoyed it.
Make sure you bring cold water and a large towel for your mat. They even offer yoga mat/​towel rentals and have a cold fridge with beverages. Try this place, you won’t regret it!

What an awesome place to go and recharge! Bikram Yoga is a wonderful practice for ALL people… Yesterday in class it was so neat to see two adults that had brought their 10 and 12 year old boy and girl and a row behind them were two elderly women in their 70’s! How great is that? This new studio welcomes all makes and models… you feel a warm welcome the moment you open the door (OK, a hot 105 degree welcome) and they will take the time with new students to make them feel comfortable. Don’t get me wrong… Bikram Yoga is the hardest thing you will ever do but it will also be the most rewarding. This is my third Bikram Yoga studio to go to in Las Vegas and by far my favorite!

I’m so happy with this studio!!! It’s beautiful, clean & everyone is welcoming. Plus, it’s a perfect location!
