  Darnell, not my real name, hah. I been coming here sporadically over the years, and more recently I was coming here 3 or 4 times a week for the last year or so. The owner Mary Ann Nassa really knows quite a lot about Bikram Yoga and has studied A LOT under Bikram Choudhury's tutelage, she has advice and tips and insight about the glorious 26+2 Bikram series which most other Bikram places simply don't have. That being said, Mary Ann has quite a colorful and unique personality that I ultimately just could not hack putting up with, for example she bellows and screams loudly in class if someone doesn't do the postures EXACTLY how she feels the posture should be done. She thinks very highly of herself, but in reality doesn't quite measure up, and spends too much class time talking about her favorite ice cream parlor or restaurants etc. rather than being focused on the precious, all-important yoga. I have never, ever seen Mary Ann do a yoga posture herself, which I find quite odd for a Bikram yoga studio owner. I would encourage anyone to try her classes out, but don't be surprised if you decide you just can't put up with her behavior and/or teaching style.

  You will learn more in a single class here than you may get anywhere else. This studio is state of the art and super clean. It encompasses the discipline and expertise of an authentic lineage with the comfort and hygiene of a modern spa. It's worth going out of your way for this place. Especially if you're looking for the real deal Bikram Yoga.

  By far the best instruction I have ever had in 13 years of practice. Mary Ann and Donna are the best of the best. I wish I could practice with them every day. If you are new to yoga or a pro, this is the best studio in Rhode Island. Authentic and true Bikram yoga!

  Great yoga instruction in a first class studio. I’ve been practicing yoga under the direction of Mary Ann and Donna for several years and it has truly paid off. It doesn’t get any better with their dedication, clean studio, the benefits of far Infrared heat and always great energy throughout each class with motivated fellow students. For those that may be experiencing physical impairments Mary Ann and Donna have introduced adjustments to yoga positions. From my experience, like any form of exercise it takes effort and “great things never come from comfort zones” and the mind and body benefits of this practice pay off!
