Bikram Yoga Center Coming to the South Hills

The Bikram Yoga, which has numerous hot yoga franchises around the country, will be the first one in the South Hills of Pittsburgh.

A Bikram Yoga is planned for Washington Road in Mt. Lebanon. The hot yoga center, which has numerous franchise locations around the country, will be the first one in the South Hills of Pittsburgh.

Local Yoga Studio Will Leave You Sweating for More

Yoga Innovations in Bethel Park offers hot yoga classes and Pilates classes.

Dana Barone was hooked on hot yoga.  So hooked, in fact, she decided to open her own yoga studio in March 2010. “When I took my first hot yoga class, I knew I wanted others to experience what I had experienced,” Barone said. “The class was intense, and required a different kind of focus than anything I had previously encountered.

The effects have included moving beyond the boundaries of what I thought was possible on my yoga mat and in my life.
