Hi Guys, I had the privilege and the honor to teach pretty much every professional sports team in South Florida over the years; The Miami Dolphins, The Miami Marlins, The Miami Heat & The Florida Panthers. Including Dan Marino, one of the greate. Hi Everyone, I've wanted to share with you my personal Hot Yoga journey & how I started back in the 1980's for quite some time.

Jimmy Barkan is a Master Yoga Teacher certified by Ghosh's College of India, Calcutta, India in 1981. One of the pioneers of Hot Yoga in the United States, Jimmy practiced three to four times daily under the guidance of Bikram Choudhury. In the late 1980's Jimmy earned the title as Bikram Yoga's Most Senior Teacher, an accomplishment very few have since obtained.
Bend forward from the waist keeping your knees straight, thighs lifted and back flat (bend the knees and round forward to modify). Lift your hips up toward the ceiling and place the fingers under the heels so the little fingers touch, this allows the elbows to work around the back of the calves (as if you are touching your elbows behind you).

I signed up for online yoga teacher training. Had to withdraw because of covid and he kept my $2,750 over drew my account and has caused me allll kinds of legal and financial issues. He told me he would refund my money half and my bank and attorney advised me to charge back the money. He refuses to help me in anyway and tells me too bad sorry! Now the bank is going after my daughters account foe the money that he took! I’ve told him this numerous time and he said oh well not my issue! I’m ready to hire an attorney in Florida since he won’t communicate with me at all! By Law if contract cancelled

I just completed about four classes at Barkan Yoga - all with instructor Jaime. I can't say enough good things about this place and Jaime. I've done hot yoga at other places and to be honest, the instructors did not care if I was doing the poses right or not - they don't even check. At Barkan, Jaime and Janice are the best - they actually show me when I'm not doing it right, explain the poses and how they benefit the body. I feel better than ever! The setting here is intimate and personal and you really come out of the class feeling that this was the best part of your day.

I have wanted to experience “hot yoga” for the last two years. Every where I went the energy was off. I went to Florida for a family vacation and found this place. It was a wonderful experience. The facility was clean, the staff was very helpful and there is parking. My teacher Peter was amazing; great energy and was very patient with me. My family ranged from ages of 42-69 and we were all able to complete the class. I’m sad I live in Virginia if I didn’t I would be here every week. Great job and I’ll be back soon.

I've been to three teacher training events with Jimmy Barkan. I've done one in Ft. Lauderdale and two in Costa Rica. All were top notch! If you have interest in Hot Yoga (noun and verb) Jimmy is one of the best, if not the best. I just returned back home from the 20th annual Costa Rica trip. The schedule runs smoothly, his senior staff trainers are knowledgeable and caring. You will get the chance to meet some really amazing people each and every time.

Absolutely love everything about this fabulous yoga studio. If you are in the area visiting or live locally, this is one of those places you wish you visited long ago, because you will just live everything about it and will be sure to find something you will really want to come back for. The locations is awesome with plenty of free parking. The classes are absolutely amazing and all the staff are highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable. Love, love, love

I just finished my first Yoga retreat in Costa Rica with Jimmy Barkan. It was a life enhancing experience. Even though I was not doing the teacher training I felt welcomed and accepted at the level on which I was practicing. Jimmy is a great teacher. He is helpful, observant, and brings light and laughter to his instruction. All his assistants were excellent. So grateful to be immersed in such a wonderful place with an amazing group of people.

Best yoga studio in South Florida! The Barkan Method is the best yoga practice as it incorporates more of a "total" workout versus some other yoga methods. I highly recommend Barkan. If HOT yoga isn't for you, they also have "warm" classes. The instructors are all top-notch, trained and knowledgable. The studio is clean and big. They even offer towels, just in case you forget yours at home. I wish I could give 10-stars. :)
