I went to Bikram's in Alexandria. The staff was knowledge and friendly. I arrived about 15 minutes early for the 7:30 pm class. The room was not as hot as most studios I have visited- but trust me it was HOT. The class was a very diverse group-men, women, various ethnicity, ages and levels attended. I brought a first timer with me and he did GREAT! I did not tell him much about Bikram's Yoga only to expect to feel reborn afterward. He did not throw up, passed out or even complain on the ride home- I was impressed.He loved it.
As for me, I tried not to push myself to hard ( that was difficult). I think I fared well considering my injuries...I spoke to the instructor before class informing him of my physical limitation. He was very attentive and understanding. He told me "this is the best thing for you. You'll do fine." That was encouraging. During class he is very hands-on, pausing to help newbies with postures.
If you are in the area and would like to try Bikram's Yoga I would recommend Bikram's in Alexandria.
