Report
Fantastic new Hot Yoga finally in Truckee! Didnt realize this yoga studio opened in Tahoe city n truckee. Went to Bikram class In truckee; the studio is beautiful and one of the best in terms of locker room, studio room, and lobby. Ive been to hot yoga studios in NYC, Miami, Tampa, Irvine, Newport Beach, Sedona, East Bay, San Diego/Carlsbad, LA/playa del ray and this studio beats them all in facilities. Definitely try it! I intend to keep going whenever Im in Tahoe/truckee from Bay Area. Thank you to the owner for opening a amazing hot yoga studio that is actually hot! No more cold boring
