He was a younger brother of the yogi Paramahansa Yogananda. In 1923 Bishnu founded the Ghosh College of Physical Education, Calcutta. He had a significant influence on the development of modern yoga, including by teaching yoga to Bikram Choudhury. Ghosh believed that the root of all disease is stress.
When you arrive we'll be super happy to see you. Especially if you arrive 15 minutes before class starts. We don't let first timers into class late so leave yourself enough time to find the studio, park, get inside and still have 10 minutes so we can give you the tour and prep you for class. When you first arrive, we'll ask you to fill out a waiver unless you've already filled one out online.
Enhances vasodilation which means more blood is delivered to the muscles. The capillaries that weave around the muscles respond to the heat by dilating. This brings more oxygen to the muscles and helps in the removal of waste products such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid. Burns fat more easily. Warmed muscles burn fat more easily than cold ones.
True Bikram Yoga offers two convenient locations for you to practice: New Haven and Madison. Both locations offer fresh pressed juices are also available at both locations. True membership gives you total access to both studios and the full schedule of classes as well as discounts on events and products.

I've been going to this studio for about 15 years and have always appreciated how hard the staff work to provide the best possible experience. I love this yoga and am so glad to have a wonderful place to rely on for the practice. After all this time, I'm finally writing a review because I am so impressed with the changes that have been implemented to make conditions safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. I've been a few times since it re-opened; the place is spotless and set up so that social distancing and all other precautions can be maintained. I felt perfectly safe and comfortable, and was so glad

True Bikram was like heaven for me during my trip to New Haven. I have a torn Achilles and had been very worried about practicing any where but my home studio but given my travel schedule I figured I would try True Bikram. From the get go they supported me and helped me make sure I was able to practice with modifications. I am grateful that the teachers were welcoming and so incredibly accommodating.
I also got a follow-up text fromRobin checking in on my experience which was so nice. I had such a positive experience and would highly recommend this studio and practice to all! I will definitely

I have taken yoga classes all over the northeast and have to say I don't consider doing 26 postures in a oxygen deprived room that smells like a wet dirty dog under bright fluorescent lights yoga....listening to someone recite a script that they paid thousands of dollars to learn...lol a tape recording would be just as effective....and listening to absurd "mama give me money" and clapping as if to say chop chop. It's far from eastern and reflects nothing that felt remotely spiritual It's some kind of militant mind control that a whack job happened to make a lot of money

True Bikram yoga has been phenomenal for me. Really life changing. I have been going 3 mornings a week for about 7 years. It helped my body and my mind. I’m fitter, calmer and happier. I felt so good I got back into marathon running, which I had not done for 25 years. Great instructors and a great community. Join us at 6am in Madison. As one of our instructors says “you’ve done more by 7:30, than most people will do all day!”

When I moved to the New Haven area from Glastonbury back in December I was merely looking for a studio to continue my practice and help me with my anxiety through this transition. What I found was a community of people with an energy full of positivity and expressed a kind of discipline and compassion I wanted to learn to obtain myself. I loved the place so much that I applied to be a part of their team and began working AND practicing there lol That's just how great I found this place to be :)

Did a drop in class while visiting New Haven. Studio was very clean and staff was very professional and welcoming. Shower, bathroom and lockers all made for a convenient class experience.
Drop in price was a little above average, as I travel often for work and do drop in classes all over, but price included mat and towels.
Would definitely come back again.

This studio is simply ok. The introductory rate is good but it's too expensive for students with the student discount. The studio temperature can vary drastically and sometimes it's so hot it's unbearable. One time my toes were stinging! I wish they would make it affordable for students and keep the temperature consistent. They also only have 90 minute classes. In a college town they should offer 60 minute versions.
All the instructors are great and the juices you can buy after class are refreshing

Had 2 great classes here so far. I purchased their $49 beginners unlimited 30 day package. It comes with 2 towels and a yoga mat to borrow for each class. The instructors were skilled and as these were my first 2 classes back after no bikram for over 10 years. I feel my muscle memories responding quickly to the poses. I've been to bikram studios all over the US and they all smell like sweat! Can't blame them for that. It's a sweaty practice that works wonders on our joints, muscles, awareness levels and mental clarity. I encourage you to try the 30 day beginner package. It can truly

This a top-notch studio. The teacher and other staff are really personable and know a lot about the yoga and its benefits. The class was rigorous but I felt like I was being taken care of, as the teacher gave me some specific pointers, even thought the class was quite large. The facilities are spacious and what a treat to have some fresh cold grapefruit slices right after class. I've been there several times and I always leave smiling! I look forward to my next trip to that area!

Real Quick:
I've practiced many places, and this studio is hands down one of the best locations I have been to. They are interested in the struggle and discipline of Hatha Yoga practice, and not so much in the westernized perception of it. Friendly staff, excellent facilities; anyone who complained about the sweaty carpet would be happy to know that they just replaced it with brand new Rubber flooring. You get access to two facilities both with private showers, bathrooms, fresh juice bar, lounge area to stimulate comradery between frequenters. I'll admit that sometimes the teachers can seem a

I have been practicing Bikram yoga at True Bikram in New Haven/Madison for over 5 years and continue to love every bit about it! The team working at both studios is fantastic--always friendly and supportive of my practice. Through this practice, I have honed my mind/body connection and have improved my performance in other activities (running, dancing, weight lifting). It is definitely a challenging workout (physically and mentally), but one that leaves me feeling more energized. I highly recommend True Bikram to anyone looking to improve his/her flexibility, strength, balance, and overall well

The teachers are very nice, but I have to give the studio 2 stars because of the smell. A bikram studio should NEVER be carpeted. For the first 20 min the smell is almost unbearable. It smells like a wet dog . The owners should definitely think about spending the money to rip up the carpet and put down hardwood floors. That would make a world of difference. Also maybe put in a light dimmer. I feel yoga is much better in a dim soothing environment rather than the bright over head lighting they use.

Private Lesson - Having practiced 4+ years, had questions relating to various postures, the dialogue, and wanted to reboot my practice. I recently had my 3rd private lesson, the first two being during my first couple of years of practice. Robin, Director of True Bikram Yoga, offers an excellent one-on-one private lesson bringing years of teaching experience (includes teaching at Bikram Teacher Training, and judging at USA Yoga competitions) to bear on one's practice. She is a professional who continues to educate herself on the art and practice of yoga and it shows in her classes and private instruction

This was one of the first places I practiced Bikram, so I was super excited when I wrote my initial review. After a few years of practice, and some travel to other studios on the east coast, I have to say this studio is just okay.
The instructors are still the best, but the studio itself needs a serious update. They could benefit from updated carpeting and more shower stalls/ a bigger bathroom.
I still love True Bikram, I just wish it were better.

I wouldn't call myself a "yoga person", but that doesn't matter when you come to this place! I was greeted warmly at my first class and felt totally comfortable to be totally uncomfortable trying to do yoga. It was a workout in the best possible way! I left feeling slightly worn out, but in a I-just-used-my-body-in-new-and-different-ways way...which is how you want to feel when you've exercised! I will definitely be back for more and I'm looking forward to stretching myself in this new world - both figuratively and literally!

I have tried every Bikram studio from Ridgefield, Norwalk, Shelton and New Haven... This is by far the best one. Robin and her teachers are attentive and careful and welcoming to new students. I wasn't sure I would like yoga, but this type allows me to push until it hurts safely and to challenge myself both physically and emotionally! So glad they have opened up a second location in Madison!

I am a yoga beginner, much less HOT, Bikram style.
But I love Bikram yoga of New Haven so far!
The studio is conveniently downtown,
I've never had trouble with parking my car.
The people that attend classes are nice,
and I really enjoy the routine-
push myself to new heights and flexibility
in this hot and humid scene.
I've had one so-so instructor,
but Robin was warm (no pun intended).
The Saturday class was packed,
but morning classes are just splendid!
