Bikram Hot Yoga Fitzroy

I can’t recommend Bikram Yoga Fitzroy enough! Michael and Susan the heart and soul of this studio, are not just fantastic hosts but also exceptional instructors. Having practiced Bikram Yoga for nearly a decade, I can confidently say that Bikram Yoga Fitzroy has been instrumental in transforming my physical and mental well being. In today’s fast pace world, finding a sanctuary where you can nurture your body and mind is truly invaluable.

I've been practising at Bikram Yoga Fitzroy since 2009, and while there have been breaks, I keep coming back. This community that Michael and Susan have created is truly special, they're wonderful people. This practise doesn't just keep you fit, flexy and strong, it gives you with a sense of calm, purpose and control that stays with you outside of the studio. All of the Bikram teachers at Fitzroy are friendly, kind and helpful. I cannot recommend BYF highly enough.

It is so hard to find a really good yoga studio that has it all, but I found it! BYF actually does! Not only is this studio spacious and have the correct humidity & heat combined, but they have HEPA air purification systems, and so many instructors who are all so highly educated in yoga & their dialogue is phenomenal. Not only does this studio have all these great benefits, because they offer so many classes for you to choose from aswell as online, your practice can take you wherever you wish. There is always a lot happening at this studio with challenges & more advanced classes for you to improve your practice too. It is such a warm & inviting studio & even though it can be a big group class, all the teachers really look out for each individual & give personalised positive feedback. They only practice the original 90 minute hot yoga practice too, so you know your being instructed the correct way & getting all the benefits yoga has to offer. This well established yoga school really is of a world class standard & I’m so fortunate to be here knowing my practice is in safe hands & I look forward to my ongoing training here for my future. Big Thankyou to Michael & Susan who are both such an inspiration, I only hope that when I reach 76 years old that I look as good as both of you! Highly recommend BYF it is definitely the best in Melbourne!

It was so nice to take Liz’s online class again this morning. I wasn’t sure if I would like the online classes but it was so much better than I expected. I actually got everything I usually get from an in-person class minus the heat. I felt I was part of the community, I had personal interaction, and of most importance for myself, accountability! Knowing that the teacher could see me (and potentially other students could as well) stopped me from getting lazy and exiting class early like I normally would with a YouTube class or something. I think you guys have done an exceptional job of making sure the online experience is as close to the in-person experience as possible. Thank you so much

Being an avid BJJ practitioner I came down with increasing lower back pain and decided to give this hot yoga studio a go at the recommendation of my spouse, who has been practicing Bikram for years now, and I can honestly say the positive results were almost immediate: lower back pain mostly gone (just need to be careful rolling big guys,) and significant improvement in strength and agility on the mats! The instructors are invariably kind, patient and first-class (especially owners Michael & Susan, real veterans in this fine art) and classes make for a solid, sustained and above all healing workout: could not recommend more, especially if you practice the martial arts or some other intense and taxing physical activity!

This place is an incredibly authentic studio owned by a very passionate and knowledgeable couple. Highly recommend practising with Michael and Susan!

Such a great venue with really lovely management. It’s feels very welcoming to newbies like myself and every time I go I come away feeling recharged. Highly recommended

I highly recommend this therapeutic studio based and online hot yoga practice. Not only for people just beginning their new health and fitness journey in 2023, but for those wishing to create variety in their established excersise routine. Whether it's the calmness and serenity this meditative yoga practice promotes, the agility and cardiovascular strength it enhances, or the weight regulation and detoxification processes it can generate for you the benefits are endless. I highly recommend trying Fitzroy Bikram Hot Yogas monthly pass to both challenge and reward yourself in a safe and consistent therapeutic environment!

One of the best decisions I made in 2022 was getting a membership at Bikram Yoga Fitzroy. They’re the best!

I’ve been attending classes at Bikram Yoga Fitzroy for 14 years. This is because Michael and Susan create an inclusive, warm and welcoming environment. I love the practice of hot yoga (taught in this studio) because I find it to be fantastic for boosting body strength and flexibility, as well as mental dexterity. I often leave class with a calm and clear mind. Michael and Susan deliver their classes in a calm and compassionate way, and their classes often culminate with some reassuring wisdom, related to the benefits of hot yoga and philosophy of the practice.

I have been practising at Bikram Yoga for over a decade. I can honestly say Bikram Yoga Fitzroy is the best Yoga studio in Melbourne. The owners Michael and Susan kept the original class 90 minutes and have continued to provide the highest standards of service. As we all know the benefits of Bikram yoga. If you choose to practice at BYF. You made the right choice.

I love Bikram Yoga Fitzroy, my world is a happier place when I practice yoga, the studio has a great vibe and the teachers are amazing

I practice regularly at Fitzroy Bikram. I highly recommend this studio if you are after caring owners and great teachers! This class helps me build resilience in life, self-confidence and to overcome challenges of the yoga and in life.

My wife and I have been practising Bikram for over 10 years. It keeps me flexible and healthy like no other exercise I do. The owners are devoted and passionate. I love it

Attended the Bikram Yoga Retreat in July 2022 and felt truly blessed! Michael and Susan are not only the most amazing teachers they are amazing people. The atmosphere over the three day retreat was fantastic. All students were at different levels of their practise however, all students had a very positive personal experiance. Great teachers, great students, perfect accommodation. The beautiful studio and fabulous food (and plenty of it!) provided by no other than the wonderful Maggie Carr. Can't wait for the next retreat.

The July yoga retreat in Sorrento was a truly wonderful weekend. We were well fed, watered, worked out, blissed out and chilled out. Michael, Susan and Maggie were beautiful hosts. Thank you and I look forward to the next one.

Thank you Michael and Susan for this amazing online studio
I feel so connected to this Bikram yoga family from the other side of Australia in Margaret River.
You and your teachers have been so welcoming and helpful and the online process is so smooth and simple to setup
Michael guided me every step of the way.
Thank you

I've been going to Bikram Fitzroy for some time. I Love the community feel, the sense of inclusiveness, the Positive, warm, friendliness and professional conduct of the Teachers and the way the classes are instructed so clearly, And the Heat!
This practise goes hand in hand with my regular daily Vipassana meditation, and it has been crucial to keep me on an even keel with my mental health.

I practise 6am studio classes as well as doing online classes and other studio classes regularly.
During the Covid time and even now (April 2022), I have felt very safe, and continue to have full confidence in the studio health awareness practises to minimise Covid transmissions.
In the studio room, there is of course, continuation of social distancing between mats, and at the back of the room, are two large air humidifiers and a large air purifier, which helps keep the air circulating and fresh.
The carpet has also been changed to new carpet.

Susan and Michael put health and safety of all the students and staff as top priority and I know they will never compromise on this!

I love starting the day with a 6am class. My job hours sometimes doesn't allow me to make it to 10am or 6pm classes.
Starting the day after a 6am session is a wonderful way to begin a new day. I feel ontop of the world!

Doing Online classes are a Great option, altho one may not always be able to recreate a 40degrees hot environment in their own room,
I found during Covid restrictions where we couldn't go into the studio or like now, where I'm travelling interstate,
I can still attend classes Online while I'm on holidays!
It helps keep me limber and focused!

The studio is large and spacious, and has a large lounge/ sofa area to relax in before/ after class, There are proper SEPARATE shower and toilet facilities for both genders, 5 showers for females, and 4 for males, and they're the cleanest showers and toilet facilities of all yoga studios in Melbourne, by far!

Overall, I've continued to keep going to Bikram over years, because of the connected, community, warm hearted feel of the studio, between the teachers and students, and how you get treated with respect, care and a sense of inclusiveness.
Also it's such as deep, challenging physical practise to keep my body strong and in shape, and it's helping me to always developing my mental, mind state focused, sharp and in balance.

*Please do not associate this studio with the immoral conduct of Bikram Chaudriji, as I know they do not condone such conduct!
It is the deep, wholesome Yoga practise that matters, not the name!
Don't let that stain your practise, or your perception of this practise!

Michael and Susan - I love your heart warmth, the slower, deep pace which you both instruct, and the spot on clarity of the sequence instructions.

Michael and Susan of Bikram Yoga Fitzroy, what can I say? These are people you really just have to meet. They are welcoming to all to practice in their studio. During the covid-19 pandemic they have stayed strong and supportive of their students, offering live streamed and in studio sessions. They are awe-inspiring and have shown great fortitude during these challenging times.

Never once have I felt unsafe during class as they take all precautions necessary to keep us safe. The facilities of the studio are second to none. They are so devoted to the well-being of their students, they guide their classes beautifully and push you to be your best self.

Thank you Susan, Michael, and all the talented Staff of Bikram Yoga Fitzroy, for changing my life for the better, and more than that, giving me a place of safety and belonging.

Solid, Concrete, One Piece, Unbroken!

I've been practising at Bikram Yoga Fitzroy for over a decade now and I can honestly say my quality of life is enhanced by it. I've found it's the best and quickest path to wellbeing. I'm a better version of myself every time I practice - more energized, more resilient. I feel physically and mentally transformed and I feel good in ways that no other form of exercise has ever achieved. You can't beat the after Bikram buzz!
