    Hi there,
    I have had some similar issues in finding a Bikram class that is close enough for me to get to a few times per week.
    I tried doing Bikram in my VERY small bathroom while running the shower and heater.
    I was able to do all except I floor pose. Which required me to extend my arms while on my stomach.
    NO ROOM FOR THAT!

    I read somewhere that someone had used a greenhouse as a studio, and found it to be successful.
    I would be able to use part of my basement to do so. That way a small area would only need to be heated, rather then an entire room. I have a standing space heater. That would do the trick, and could maybe get a humidifier.

    My boyfriend thinks I am crazy even considering this idea.
    Especially after my reaction when he opened the bathroom door, after it took me an an hour or more to set up the space.

    I have the class on my iphone, and can go through the class.

    I just need some advice about my minimal space situation.

    Any suggestions/ideas would be great.

    Namaste!

    I personally see no reason why a greenhouse cannot be used, particularly if you can regulate the temperature and humidity, as well as provide a hygienic environment. I’ve just finished converting one of my spare bedrooms into a studio that will accommodate three students. I’m using a 240 volt floor heater and two small radiant heaters – it takes about 1 hour to warm up the studio to 100 degrees F. I also installed three 6 foot tall by 4 foot wide mirrors.

    Hi Beth

    Thanks for chiming in Bill! 😉

    I agree. Just do what works. I am positive there are some recommendations on existing threads on this forum. So take a look around. You will find them in the section called Practising at Home or Travelling!

    There are suggestions for heating, flooring, insulation and humidification.

    Namaste
    Gabrielle 🙂

    Luckily, I was able to find a studio nearby that offers Bikram yoga classes, but if I hadn’t been able to do that, I was going to do the exact same thing you did and try to turn my bathroom into a mini-yoga room! Nice to know I’m not the only one that ever thought about doing yoga in the bathroom, ha ha!
