About Bikram Yoga

Bikram's Beginning Yoga Class is a demanding series of 26 postures (asana) and 2 breathing exercises (pranayama), which is suitable for all ages, levels of ability and fitness.

Yoga postures help to stretch and strengthen specific muscles, ligaments and joints needed ready for the next posture.

The Bikram method and pranayamas also helps to stimulate the organs, glands and nerves, moving fresh oxygenated blood to 100% of the body, restoring all systems to a healthy working order.

Bikram scientifically designed this 90 minute program to deliver total health through the balancing and strengthening of every system in the body in order to prevent illness, injury and limit the effects of aging. Additionally each yoga posture (asana), in the series, combines the skills of concentration, patience, determination and self-control, which lead to increased mental clarity and reduced stress.

Bikram's Beginning Yoga Class is practiced in a heated room to warm your muscles, prevent injury, allow a deeper stretch and cleanse the body by flushing toxins. As Bikram says:

Yoga is the only exercise in the world that you can do at any age. There is always some posture that will improve your health, mind and soul.

Bikram's History

Bikram Choudhury began learning Hatha Yoga poses in his native India at the age of three. At five he began studying with Bishnu Ghosh (Paramahnsa Yogananda's brother) and quickly became a yoga champion.

At age eleven he was the youngest contestant ever to win the National India Yoga Competition. At 14 Swami Shivananda declared him "Yogi Raj" (King of the Yogis). At age 20 a weightlifting accident crippled Bikram.

With the guidance of his Guru, Bikram created his 26 Posture Series, which restored his health. Combining Eastern discipline and Western medicine, Bikram perfected his comprehensive system suitable for all ages and levels of fitness.

Bikram arrived in the United States in 1973 at the invitation of President Nixon and the urging of Shirley Maclaine. He quickly became the foremost Yoga Teacher in the West, as celebrities, athletes and others began to flock to him. Since that time he has been healing thousands of students at his school in Beverly Hills and travelling the world extensively, bringing the benefits of Bikram’s Yoga to millions of students worldwide.
