What is Bikram Yoga?

Bikram's Beginning Yoga class is a twenty-six posture, or asana series performed in a room heated to 40°C (105°F). The class is designed to scientifically warm and stretch muscles, ligaments and tendons, in the order in which they should be stretched. Each posture in the series works with the next to systematically move fresh, richly oxygenated blood to one hundred percent of your body, to each organ and fiber, restoring all systems to healthy working order just as nature intended. Proper weight, muscle tone, vibrant good health and a sense of well-being will automatically follow.

The hot room provides a safe environment in which one can stretch deeply without risk of injury. Cleanse the body and learn to develop the five aspects of the mind: Faith, Self Control, Determination, Concentration and Patience. Find a way to express the truth of your heart regardless of what troubles you may face daily in the world around you.

"As I was about to get on the plane at Calcutta Airport, my guru took my hand and told me something, in English, which he never spoke. "Promise me you will complete my incomplete job," he said. He meant bringing yoga to the rest of the world, to the West and America. And I replied, "Yes, I promise. I will." Forty years later I'm here in the United States, still performing my Karma Yoga by fixing Broken bodies and screw-loose brains."
