WHAT IS BIKRAM YOGA?

"Yoga is a Science that works whether you believe in it or not."

Bikram Choudhury and his guru Bishnu Gosh, a former doctor in India and younger brother to Paramahansa Yogananda, selected specific Hatha postures in a distinct progression in order to deliver total health through the balancing and strengthening of every system in the body to prevent illness and injury, promote weight loss, and limit the effects of aging.

 

In addition, the series of postures combine skills of mindfulness, concentration, patience, determination and self control that increase mental clarity and reduce stress.

You will leave each class feeling cleansed and energized. Bikram Yoga builds strength, flexibility, grace, balance and endurance. With this combination you should see the creation of a lean and healthy body inside and out. This may sound like hard work, but once you see the positive effects allowing you to become more focused, productive and balanced, you will be excited for your next class. We hope each session results with union of the mind, body and spirit.
