I'll preface this by saying that I've been successfully and regularly practicing Bikram at the Sweat Box in Seattle for months so I am not unfamiliar or unaccustomed to Bikram Yoga.\n\nThe only reason I'm not giving this place 1 star is because they were \""technically\"" compliant with all of the requirements of a Bikram studio, beyond that the one class I took here was the worst Bikram experience of my life.\n\nHere's my laundry list of complaints\n\n(1) the room and floor STANK.  \n(2) The mat I rented was still soaked from someone else's sweat\n(3) The staff let so many people in to the class that we had just a few inches between students.\n(4) Several students had to get up and leave the class\n(5) The instructor was 100% unable to properly regulate the temperature and kept opening up the doors which would make it too cool really quickly and then shutting them and the temperature would skyrocket again.\n(6) The locker room was filthy\n(7) The staff was unorganized, rude, and inattentive.\n(8) The class was overpriced\n(9) The instructor was rude\n\nI think that the instructors and staff at Green Valley don't understand that when you overcrowd a Bikram class to the point that students are literally on top of each other it doesn't matter if you keep the room at the proper temperature or not, the students are going to suffer. The studio here is so poorly ventilated and the class was so overcrowded that I felt like I was suffocating from all the CO2 in the air.  I understand that the Bikram method doesn't necessarily put a cap on how many students can be in a class but it is irresponsible and frankly dangerous to crowd so many students into a room like this.\n\nNeedless to say I will never take another class at Green Valley and luckily was able to find a much nicer studio on the other side of town.
