Yay! I moved super super remote after Covid and had lost my yoga practice. I m just getting back into it and I miss the series so much and it was absolutely perfect. I m super stoked to be able to do this by my very hot fireplace just like I was in the studio. Thank you thank you thank you for offering this class, you re a great instructor!!! Namaste!!

Enjoyable moving meditation. 26 poses with a standing series and a floor series. I enjoyed the resting poses in between. The standing series is hard work for the arms. Excellent cues. I hardly ever needed to look at my screen.

The model for this class didn t seem advanced enough to inspire me.

I would like this class a lot more if it had an advanced model doing the full expression of each pose with a less advanced model side by side doing the modifications.

i thought hot yoga was a vinyasa flow type class. there was no flow and if you suffer from severe vertigo the first 10 minutes of putting your head backwards will make you into Linda Blair impersonator. we do live in hell, aka phoenix, so the hot part was easy

If you are looking for a class that honors the 26 and 2 series, then this is for you. This is the best class that I have come across and I have been practicing for 6 years. Excellent holding times. Really clear instruction with some great tips.
I seriously get a better class at home on YogaDowload than in my previous studio.
Awesome class. Thankyou.

Finally Bikram yoga but you have to control your room heat! ??

I m not quite an old "experienced" bikram student, but I ve done my fair amount of classes using various teachers and been through many online videos/audios. I wanted the poses and the structure of bikram yoga but just without having to battle through the heat too! Time to practice at home? I definitely think I ve found the perfect video - had to post a review!

She does it the traditional way, as per bikram yoga classes would - holding poses long enough as they should be held. She talks enough to help you deepen your practice, but also doesn t overdo it with her chatter as most bikram yoga instructor s seem to do. They usually talk so much they ruin your concentration and practice. Thank God this lady does not. In fact quite pleasant to hear her voice. She also gives handy tips throughout the entire video, which help you understand how you should prepare yourself better, what you should be aiming for, and how to achieve a deeper and well structured practice. No one has taught it the way she has, ever. So grateful!

Yes the girl demonstrating isn t so great. In fact worse than me a lot of the times, and I m a beginner and not that flexible! She almost comes across and being completely new, or just plain lazy. However luckily as her voice instruction itself is so great, I can just concentrate on myself and her voice. If learning bikram yoga from scratch, the girl may not be the best demonstration you are looking to aim for. However the class itself is spot on.

Love the lady, she says the right things (actually encouraging and motivating) and also helps you to relax in your practice. If you ve done the traditional bikram before, you ll understand how challenging it can be, not just to live through the heat, but also the mental battle through the practice itself. I ve never felt so happy during a bikram class, I caught myself smiling whilst practicing! Not because I was doing great (I ve done better before) or because it was easy, just because I was genuinely enjoying her class. Took a stab in the dark buying this video of hers, but I m so happy I did :) wouldn t mind doing this everyday if I had the time! Thank you Julie, you re a legend!

This instructor is great! She is clear and her voice does not distract you from the pose. She is the best online i have had so far. She holds long enough for you to experience the pose without rushing through. I like that. I hope she does more classes with a different model. I have not watched much of the model since i am watching myself but from what i have seen, she is not the best at demonstration. I only wish i could get my room hotter to get the full experience of a studio.

I have done many different bikram yoga classes all around the world and this was as good as any. Best part was I could control the temperature and my room didn t stink of sweat!

The instructor is amazing, it s a shame that the student demonstrating the poses is a complete newbie (either that or just really lazy).

Luckily I ve done this series for years so I know what the poses should look like, but I definitely DO NOT recommend that people new to the series watch or follow along with the student because she has very poor form (again, I m guessing she s a total beginner). For the life of me I can t figure out why the instructor did not choose someone with proper form for this video.

Even though I downloaded it and love the series, I find I rarely do it because when i watch the student it makes me feel as wobbly as she looks.

I sincerely hope the instructor will consider re-shooting this video with a different student because her instruction, timing and energy are exemplary, and I d love to do this series more often (i ve stopped going to the Bikram studio because I can t take the 105 degree heat).

Lovely, challenging class. If you can t get to a hot yoga/bikram studio then this class is a great substitute. Very good instruction throughout.

This is the first time I ve tried Bikram yoga. I really enjoyed this class! I like the emphasis on technique and detailed, easy to follow instruction for each pose. I could not believe how much I sweated considering how little I moved. My body feels tingly; I think that s a result of increased blood circulating around my body. Thank you for a great introduction to Hot Yoga.

Wonderful class. Thank you! I ve been experiencing problems with my wrists so I decided to try a Bikram style again. This class helped me to work all my muscles and mind.

I have been a long time lover of Bikram Yoga. When I had my kids it became very difficult for me to carve out 90 minutes to carry on my practice. I am so happy to have found YogaDownload and your class. I have learned to make time for me now that my kids are 5 and 8. Today was my first day "back" to the mat in Bikram form and I just love this practice. So challenging and rewarding.

Thank you,
Namaste,
Ashley Kingsley

Really enjoyed this class. I started using yoga download after moving. There is only one Bikram studio close to my new house and it is always PACKED. This was a great alternative and I will continue to use the traditional hot video.

I enjoyed the standing part of this class, but I didn t like the second half as much. I d like to see more from this instructor though.
