My opinion:
They share the same changing room as the regular True Yoga, and the changing room is not good. However, the yoga room for Bikram is better than the normal True Yoga’s. The condition is newer and does not have a stench. Mats are taken away for cleaning after every session too.
The heat however, was not as hot as Bikram Yoga Katong or even other hot studios like Hom Yoga. For Bikram practioners who like it hot, this may not be a good thing.
The teacher I tried had a nice British accent which sounded like BBC channel playing in the background while I concentrated on my yoga. It was good.
Pros: Cleaned Manduka mats.
Cons: Poor changing room facilities and bring your own lock system.
