yoga in richmond richmond, yoga

hot yoga (bikram) is probably a little too intense, as we're just starting
other than YYoga (http://www.yyoga.ca/our-centers/richmond), are there any other yoga centers?
i googled for a bit and i found another one that's hosted by kwantlen (http://www.blossominglotusstudio.com). it seems like it's quite new though.

does anyone have any comments about these 2 yoga centers?
thanks in advance =)

Are you looking to do hot yoga or just room temp. yoga?
Bikram is 90 mins per class, it will be very harsh for beginners. I don't like the location, because I usually go to the 10pm class, Future Shop closed at 9pm, I have to walk a while and go through the back stairs and doors to Bikram. If you buy the tickets in Richmond Bikram, you cannot use it anywhere else. If you are living in Richmond for a period of time, it's ok, but if you are thinking to move around, or want to do it close to work or with friends (not in Richmond), you have to think about it.
The facilities in YYoga seems better to me, more relaxing. They have 60 mins or 75 mins classes, not that harsh as Bikram. One more thing I like YYoga is the parking, you can park in front of the door! YYoga has different types of yoga classes, so, if you are not into hot yoga, you can try Yin or Flow or Core....
I vote for YYoga!
I have gym membership, so sometimes I just drop in to the yoga class. (This is good because I don't have to pay extra, classes are included in the monthly fee)
There are also yoga classes in community centers. You can check the city website.
