My studio is smelly.

Not only is it smelly… but I feel like it is making me sick! I have quite a few allergies when it comes to mold and dust mites and the second I walk into the studio, I just feel like it is a mold and mite breeding ground! The studio is in an old medical office building… the carpets are standard carpeting (I know this only because it is the same carpeting as the hallways in the building) and they smell absolutely HORRIBLE. When I walked in for my first class ever, I literally had to focus on not throwing up from the stench. This isn’t just a regular sweaty workout smell. It’s seriously bad.

I don’t believe the windows are even capable of opening and I’m not even sure if/when they wash the carpeting. Also, the ceiling tiles are not only stained, but also sagging. There is clearly many problems with this studio, but I guess what I’m trying to get at is, how the heck is this studio “Fort Lauderdale’s only certified Bikram Yoga studio”?! What does a studio need in order to be certified? Is it just the teacher, or the studio also? I love the teachers that I’ve had, but I just don’t know if I can stomach another class here. I’m starting to worry that its taking a toll on me.. my sinuses and head just haven’t felt the same since starting hot yoga.
