I was told there was a studio that does Bikram Yoga on Millburn Avenue. Does anyone know the name of the place? I did a google search and only came up with a studio in Westfield. I also did a search here but did not find the place that I'm looking for. I have never tried Bikram yoga before but it seems very interesting. If anyone has any feedback on this, please let me know. Thank you! |

The place on Springfield is called Shakti. http://www.shaktinj.com/ Don't know if they do Bikram as I've never been interested. Check the schedule on their website. |

I think the place on Millburn used to be called Elite Fitness, then it turned into a yoga studio. Haven't heard anything lately, but searching under Elite might get you a number. It's right next to Subway Salon. |

Bikram yoga is amazing. It's tough but wonderful. It's different than Hot Yoga, fyi. And I believe there is one in Summit. |

what's the difference between Bikram and hot yoga? I had thought they were synonymous. |

Bikram is a specific "brand" of yoga which follows the teachings of it's founder, Bikram something (I don't know his last name). He is based in LA, made a lot of money, has a lot of cars. Hot Yoga simply refers to yoga done in a hot room. |

The name is Bikram Chowdhury and indeed he does have a slew of Rolls Royces in Beverly Hills. Bikram yoga is done in a room with very high temperatures--80 degrees or more--and thus the two are the same. |
