History
Established in 1999 Bikram Yoga NYC opened its doors in August 1999 and became Manhattan's first Bikram Yoga Studio. Owners Donna Rubin and Jennifer Lobo had both been avid practitioners of Bikram Yoga in other cities and knew that no city needed Bikram Yoga more than New York. In choosing the first location, Donna Rubin, a former Broadway performer, felt that there was a need for a place for pre-show warm-up in the theater district as the theaters themselves offered no space for stretching. In its first year, many performers, musicians and stage workers filled the classes at the 8th avenue location as a new way to stretch, de-stress and stay in shape. Word quickly spread about the amazing benefits of Bikram Yoga and in in 2001, Bikram Yoga NYC opened two more studios on the upper west side and downtown. In 2002, the Flatiron location was opened and in 2006, Bikram Yoga NYC opened its largest studio on the Upper East side.
