The class was hot and I was sweating, but I’ve been (and would be) in more humid and hotter classes. They did the Separate Head Stretching, Triangle pose and Separate Head To Knee on the floor instead of turning on your towel so you’re on your mat at all times, which is my least favourite thing, but that’s just personal preference. I got some corrections in English on occasion, which I appreciate, even though it screams “there’s a tourist in the room” to everyone else. I also had a few moments where in my head I went “HUFTE WHAT ARE MY HUFTE oh wait that’s hips” and “what the fuck is a ‘ferzen’ and where are they located on my body oh hey heels.” Most of the stuff I got though. The clear dialogue in German makes it sound a little more drill sergeant, but I actually enjoy that. What they DID have, and apparently this is sort of a normal thing in studios in Vienna: little slots in a wall in the hot room where you can store your valuables like wallet and phone.ĬLASS The instructions were clear and the teacher had a good pace. That last part saves you from major brain freeze. The studio is beautiful, with white walls, high ceilings (the whole ‘loft’ thing I presume) and fun blue and Hawaiian themed details, like surfboards and the cutest cartoon wall near the changing rooms.ĭRESSING ROOMS Spacious, and there were six (rain!) showers available, and a couple of hairdryers. For me, it was a 15-minute walk from the Ketternbruckengasse U-bahn stop. If you have CityMaps2Go (my favorite app for city trips!) or GoogleMaps available, it’s very easy to locate. STUDIO The studio is on the Wiedner Hauptstrasse 73, where you have to go onto the little terrain in front of an office building and then it’s on the right.

I emailed two studios in Vienna that I liked, to see if they would let a blogger in for free in exchange for a review. To get my exercise in, to get more zen while city tripping, and have a more efficient metabolism for all the food and coffee I’m most likely consuming the rest of the day. Whenever I’m visiting a new place I like to check out the local Bikram Yoga studio.

When planning my citytrip to Vienna, first thing I did was Google Bikram yoga studios.
