What You Need To Know Before Trying Bikram Yoga

Every studio has a soft carpet, rather than hardwood floors. It is designed this way because it is more forgiving to joints than hard floors. Due to the extremely hot temperature of the room, many people sweat a lot. So the room might have a sweaty, body odor smell when you come in. But rest assured, according to Shape, Maria McBride, owner and founder of Bikram Yoga Natick in Massachusetts says, "These days many studios have an anti-bacterial carpet that gets cleaned regularly. So if it stinks when you walk in that's good! It's not dirt, but just sweat, which is what we want." It sounds less than ideal, but this isn't a workout for the faint of heart.
