- Hot Bikram yoga
- Flexible schedule
- Friendly, experienced instructors
Lexicographers have long been stymied by the word funky, given the various potential definitions, which range from "outlandishly vulgar," to "exceedingly flexible." Today's Groupon exemplifies the latter: for $25, you get 25 Bikram yoga classes at Funky Door Yoga Polk Street (a $295 value).
Funky Door Yoga Polk Street's impassioned instructors employ pliable poses from the Bikram tradition, bestowing strength and flexibility while priming the different organs of the body to awake and do their groovy thing. Classes take place in a wide-open, heated studio, infusing each move with additional penetrating power, while protecting the body from injury. In addition to inspiring perspiring, the high temperatures elevate metabolism, making it easier to burn fat. Each class lasts 90 minutes, during which time toxins are flushed from the body system like eternally sleeping goldfish. The studio is open 365 days a year, offering a flexible schedule with morning, afternoon, and evening classes during the week and morning classes on weekends.
Funky Door Yoga Polk Street's brightly painted storefront gives some hint of the studio's philosophy, which is to encourage lifelong health and wellness through fun. The workouts are deep and rigorous, but the environment is upbeat and humor-inspired, so practicing yoga never feels like a chore on par with taking out the trash, reading, or practicing yoga in an unfun environment. The classes are for beginners and advanced students alike, and first timers are welcomed with open, perspiring arms. Grab a Groupon and prepare to shed all the stress, tension, and reality television your skin has absorbed over the last decade.
Reviews
Funky Door Yoga was mentioned on Not For Tourists and has a 3.5-star average from Yelpers:
- The practice involves completing 26 prescribed poses in a warm room during a 90-minute class. Actually, it’s a very hot room between 100 and 105 degrees and there is much sweat involved. Why so hot? The heat allows your muscles to stretch more easily. Bikram is also based on the “tourniquet” effect—the twisting and squeezing of your internal organs, which flushes out your cardiovascular system. You can’t miss the entrance to Funky Door Yoga—the half-naked cartoon characters point the way. The décor in the studio is Cartoon Network-meets-the-circus-meets-an-upscale-gym. – Catherine Wargo, Not Four Tourists
- The facility is clean and doesn't smell. The instructors are all super sweet and Knowledgeable. Yes, the classes can get pretty packed but I appreciate them trying and learning our names, saying 'welcome' to the newbies and the indivdual [sic] attention. – nancy s., Yelp

About Funky Door Yoga Polk Street San Francisco
After walking through the studio’s namesake entryway, visitors to Funky Door Yoga Polk Street are greeted by the grunts of Bikram practitioners carried on waves of steamy heat. The stretch dojo's seven-day schedule boasts early-morning, afternoon, and evening classes that take place in a classroom stoked to up to 105 degrees, the perfect temperature for facilitating flexibility or melting a corporate rival's ice statue in effigy. Students run through Bikram Choudhury’s 26 poses that pique muscles, organs, veins, and ligaments while the sweltering heat flushes toxins from the body. After a 90-minute session, students can hop into one of Funky Door Yoga Polk Street's showers, or down a bottle of water or sports drink available for purchase. The studio also stocks rentable mats and towels for greenhorn yogis not quite experienced enough to levitate.
The bright studio helps students fine-tune posework with wall-to-wall mirrors, and the expansive floor space affords enough space to execute even the most complex poses. Two nearby parking lots and metered parking afford convenient parking for car-toting students.
