Yoga Stop on the 101 specializes in Bikram yoga, a unique style of yoga that is held in a very hot room to help loosen your muscles while you practice.

If you haven't ever tried Bikram yoga, there are a few things you should know before you arrive at this Cotati studio. First, you should know that the room is heated, in order to facilitate healthy, toxin-flushing perspiration and to reduce the risk of muscle injury during stretches (this means that most people bring a small hand towel to class, to dab at any excess sweat). Second, the session follows a standard, 90-minute series of poses that methodically work every major muscle group from your head to your toes. Finally, a Bikram session emphasizes stamina, strength, and balance, which means that you'll finish class a little stronger and fitter each time. The staff at Yoga Stop on the 101 have a reputation for being friendly and knowledgable, and the classes here are both rigorous and supportive to give you a great workout while also clearing your mind.
