Editorial Review for Bikram Yoga Silverlake – by Ceci Chavez
The Scene
What looks like a cement bunker on the outside is actually a friendly, neighborhood yoga sweatbox. Bikram yoga novices and devotees come, in all shapes, ages and sizes, to bask in 102-degree heat inside a glass-enclosed room. Teachers are friendly and welcome beginners. Mats and towels are available for rent. Water bottles and a limited selection of yoga wear are for sale.
The Workout
As soon as you unfurl your mat on the carpeted floor, you'll be breaking a sweat in the ultra-heated room. Get ready to begin a series of 26 yoga positions, each repeated twice. Start with standing postures that challenge your balance and strength, like "chair pose" performed on your toes and "balancing stick." Floor positions stretch your chest, hips and legs. Others twist and elongate your back. By the end, you are dripping with sweat, saturated with self-satisfaction and a deep sense of peace.

Do you ever walk out of a yoga class and think to yourself that maybe the session was a little too cheesy or that maybe the die-hards in the class were too intense. Rest assured that when you walk out after a class at Bikram Yoga Silverlake, you will feel good about being a part of the greater good and will not be turned off by any yoga nerds or over-the-toppers. Everyone is super relaxed, super welcoming and super cool (in the good way). One never need be afraid of going for the first time even if you've never done yoga period! The staff is great and eager to talk and answer questions at any time. You can move at your own pace and still feel like your kickin' azz. When you leave a session you will literally feel as if the world is yours.
Pros: You will feel as if you can do anything.

Hands down, the cleanest, most enjoyable bikram experience I have encountered in three states! Really down to earth people, fun teachers who are serious about their yoga but lighthearted and encouraging. Parking is easy, only wish I lived closer!! Worth committing to..
Pros: Cleanliness, environment, parking.
Cons: Traffic on the way!
