New Bikram Yoga Studio Set to Open Friday

Bikram Yoga Marina del Rey will offer more than just yoga.

A new yoga studio is headed to town, and it promises to offer something a little different.

Bikram Yoga Marina del Rey, located at 2903 Washington Blvd., has more than 4,000 square feet of space which includes a wi-fi lounge, an on-site massage therapist and a eucalyptus steam room, so “people can warm up their joints before class,” said studio manager Arthur Markray.

The Bikram Yoga classes are taught in heated conditions with the room temperature set at 110 degrees and at around 40 percent humidity, Markray said. In addition to the series of classes, there is a juice bar at the studio, thanks to Kreation Juicery.
