Some Decent Bikram Yoga
Funky Door Yoga in Berkeley is at 2567 Shattuck Ave. When I went there, and probably still now, they were offering the $10/10 days bargain; I think they also offer deals like $30/30 days and a friend of mine has gotten some steep discounts for buying extended unlimited-yoga passes of 3 or 6 months. This is typical Bikram Yoga--26 poses in temperatures of about 110 to 115 degrees. When I went there it didn't smell too bad but I hear the floor might be starting to stink, as happens very easily in Bikram studios. They might be replacing it though so you should check it out cuz this place offers lots of yoga classes every day and the teachers are decent (pretty standardized teaching in Bikram, but there is still room for them to be good or bad and these are on the good side in my opinion). They say dress as if you're going to the beach; some people wear bikinis but I usually go in a tank and shorts. I get bored with Bikram yoga cuz it's the same poses every time but the sauna effect really detoxifies you and you WILL lose weight and get stronger, etc.
