In four intensely heated studio spaces across Manhattan, Bikram Yoga NYC’s instructors lead more than 250 rigorous yoga classes every week with a dedication that moved Details to name the schools to its Best Bikram Studios in America list. With recently updated flooring at each location, the studios’ classes often meet as early as 6 a.m. and continue late into the evenings, allowing students of all ages, fitness levels, and sundial-building competency to make it to sessions. Each 90-minute session consists of two breathing exercises in addition to 26 standing, seated, and reclining poses, which methodically strengthen muscles across the entire body. Meanwhile, the studio spaces’ tropical heat helps to promote healthy organ function by facilitating safer stretches, wringing out toxins through sweat, and pushing freshly oxygenated blood throughout the body with the urgency of an Olympic sprinter trying to catch a bus.

The studios cater to their students’ comfort by renting out yoga mats before class ($5) and opening up their onsite shower facilities, in newly renovated locker rooms at most locations, afterward. New students should prepare for their first session by completing the mandatory waiver and drinking enough water to sink a Spanish galleon.
