Bikram Hot Yoga Fitzroy

The studio owners genuinely believe in helping the community through teaching the practise, they offer support and encouragement into a very welcoming space. I have practised at the studio for many years as there is no other studio in comparison where I have felt such encouragement and support. They are wonderful owners that truly care.

I love Bikram Yoga Fitzroy. This is the real thing. Authentic Bikram Yoga. Genuinely welcoming and supportive. Owners, Michael and Susan, are lovely and show tremendous care for every person who walks through their doors. Much effort continues to go into keeping everyone safe during the pandemic. Folks have been able to continue, or try for the first time, this profoundly healing practice. Online classes are available, the space is immaculate, and the hot room has a great air filtration system. For obvious reasons at the moment, everyone has been masking up too. I'm so very grateful for it. I highly recommend this practice and especially this studio.

What a beautiful studio Michael and Susan have created, a wonderful home for like minded Bikram yogis! The love they pour into their studio and the encouragement they provide you on a spiritual and personal level is what creates a unique sanctuary in all of Melbourne. Much love

I got referred to Bikram Fitzroy by a friend after struggling with a lot of stress, anxiety and binge eating. I have only done 15 sessions but it has been life changing for me. My lower back pain is gone, I have stopped binge eating I am more relaxed and naturally eating healthier food. I am also sleeping better and just generally happier within myself. It is refreshing to go to a Yoga studio that really cares about their clients. Michael and Susan the owners have always been responsive to answer all my questions and have been so welcoming. The other instructors are great too and really are passionate about Bikram Yoga. Recently we have been forced to go back online due to another lockdown. Much to my surprise I am still getting a lot of benefit from practicing my Bikram practice in my apartment at home.

Returning to Bikram yoga after covid felt safe and easy. There was regular communication and ample precautions in place.

I first tried Bikram yoga here over 10 years ago and have been a devotee ever since. Michael and Susan's studio has been a place of kindness, community, and genuine care, thanks to the teachers, students, the way things are run, and of course the yoga practice itself. It's a real treat for the soul, especially when things are tough. I couldn't.recommend it more highly!

Congratulations to Bikram Yoga Fitzroy. Their online classes are terrific. As always, the owners, Michael and Susan, have made things as easy and convenient as possible for their students. They have a very caring approach and the friendliness and warmth of all the teachers ensures that you still feel part of the yoga community even though you are practising alone at home. I have found the switch from yoga studio to online surprisingly easy and have also been pleasantly surprised how much the online system allows the teacher to give individual attention to each of the students. Well done Bikram Yoga Fitzroy!

As a regular at Bikram Yoga Fitzroy prior to the current pandemic that has so unexpectedly swept across the globe I was devastated that in-studio classes were no longer able to proceed. I was initially reluctant about jumping online to do virtual classes. The brilliant reality is that owing to Susan and Michael's care and expertise the new zoom classes don't feel virtual at all, if anything more personal, guided and helpful than ever. If you are looking to return to yoga, or begin, it is reassuring to think that you can take part from anywhere. Even when we are social distancing we can be more connected than ever. Bikram Fitzroy is a very special yoga studio owing to the passionate and professional and caring nature of its teachers ad community. Thanks to Susan and Michael for adapting so readily and to continue to offer classes. So glad I am back doing classes for both mental and physical reasons and know you will be too if you decide to do so. Go well.

I had been going to this yoga studio for a few month before the lockdown and it is truly amazing. The teaching instructions are very engaging and powerful. Very supportive community for anyone who wants to get fitness and release stress. It is hard but super good for physical and mental health.

Thank goodness for Michael and Susan who run Bikram Fitzroy. During this period of restriction I thought Bikram would be a great way to maintain a sense of inner balance and positive focus that regular practise provides. As well, there is the benefit for wellbeing of the full range-of-movement sequences. I've taken out the weekly subscription and attending every day or other day which sets up my day with a meaningful commitment (important if you’re solo). Over the years I've been a regular/sometimes student at Fitzroy and knew that Susan and Michael's friendly and generous way would be welcome company. The sessions are easy to book and start on time, and if there is a short video for first time online users. Because the heat is absent students are reminded throughout the session to look after themselves. Well over 50, I've found my flexibility and stamina for the poses increasing each day with encouragement and tailored suggestions given through the class. On reflection I realise whenever in my life I've 'got back in the hot box' (now room temperature) I tend to improve other behaviours. In all, I find the zoomed experience very personal, friendly, intimate and effective, and recommend the online experience, and eventually live sessions.

I have been practising Bikram Yoga at Bikram Yoga Fitzroy for more than 5 years and embraced every challenge along the way. Michael and Susan’s love and passion for the practice & studio is something you feel and embrace once you step into the Fitzroy studio. You always feel safe, connected and part of a special community.

Whilst facing many Covid-19 challenges themselves Michael and Susan’s commitment to their students has gone above and beyond during this crisis. Within a few weeks they turned the studio around into an online practice. We are now able to “zoom” in, practice and connect and chat with our fellow yogi friends - I am so grateful to be part of this community in this challenging time and appreciate the virtual classes so much more. Thank you Michael & Susan for your love & support. You are an inspiration to all of us

This drastically helped my sciatica and cope with slipped disks when other treatments wouldn't work. Michael and Susan are the heart and soul of this beautiful place. They welcome you and help you get the most out of it. They provide a genuine, restorative, practice for everyone.

Love this yoga studio; Michael, Susan and all of the teachers are friendly and create a welcoming space. The yoga room is hot and the facilities are great! Thanks!

The instructors are amazing and Michael is lovely and welcoming. I feel completely exhausted immediately after a class but by the time I shower and get to work I feel so focused and energised I’m ready to rock my day

Since early 2018 my friend bring me to Bikram Hot Yoga for the very first time, then I start to love the way and gives to the body, mind & soul healing. Then I keep doing it this plus the studio, the atmosphere, the owner, the teachers and yogis is just amazing then I keep doing it as my practice. Thanks to Michael, Susan & teachers who's been nice to me.

While other Bikram yoga studios in Melbourne feel like businesses, owners Susan and Michael make you feel like you've gained your own personal wellness mentor, rather than a monthly direct debit. They're extremely knowledgable and passionate about the benefits of Bikram and it shows.

Susan and Michael run a fantastic studio. Committed, constant and community are the three words that I associate with Bikram Yoga Fitzroy.

Susan & Michael’s Bikram studio is a haven. The practice is challenging (I wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t), but the yoga teachers are all enthusiastic about the practice and care that the students get the best out of their time there. Few studios are as personable.

My sister and I have been going to this wonderful yoga haven for over a year and it is simply the best place in Melbourne for Bikram - the space Michael and Susan have created is extraordinary and a testament to their dedication to students and the practice of Bikram. We love you! Please never leave!

V supportive team working here! Which definitely helps ease yogis into a challenging craft. Highly recommend this studio for a deeper practice and strong community feeling.
