Hi there,
I have had some similar issues in finding a Bikram class that is close enough for me to get to a few times per week.
I tried doing Bikram in my VERY small bathroom while running the shower and heater.
I was able to do all except I floor pose. Which required me to extend my arms while on my stomach.
NO ROOM FOR THAT!I read somewhere that someone had used a greenhouse as a studio, and found it to be successful.
I would be able to use part of my basement to do so. That way a small area would only need to be heated, rather then an entire room. I have a standing space heater. That would do the trick, and could maybe get a humidifier.My boyfriend thinks I am crazy even considering this idea.
Especially after my reaction when he opened the bathroom door, after it took me an an hour or more to set up the space.I have the class on my iphone, and can go through the class.
I just need some advice about my minimal space situation.
Any suggestions/ideas would be great.
Namaste!
I personally see no reason why a greenhouse cannot be used, particularly if you can regulate the temperature and humidity, as well as provide a hygienic environment. I’ve just finished converting one of my spare bedrooms into a studio that will accommodate three students. I’m using a 240 volt floor heater and two small radiant heaters – it takes about 1 hour to warm up the studio to 100 degrees F. I also installed three 6 foot tall by 4 foot wide mirrors.

Hi Beth
Thanks for chiming in Bill! 😉
I agree. Just do what works. I am positive there are some recommendations on existing threads on this forum. So take a look around. You will find them in the section called Practising at Home or Travelling!
There are suggestions for heating, flooring, insulation and humidification.
Namaste

Luckily, I was able to find a studio nearby that offers Bikram yoga classes, but if I hadn’t been able to do that, I was going to do the exact same thing you did and try to turn my bathroom into a mini-yoga room! Nice to know I’m not the only one that ever thought about doing yoga in the bathroom, ha ha!
