Bikram Yoga

Bikram Yoga is the 26 postures Sequence selected and developed by Bikram Choudhury from Hatha Yoga. Bikram Yoga is a fun, challenging and invigorating 90 minute work out for all levels! It has been proved and experienced by millions that these 26 postures systematically work every part of the body, to give all the internal organs, all the veins, all the ligaments, and all the muscles everything they need to maintain optimum health and maximum function. Each component takes care of something different in the body, and yet they all work together synergistically, contributing to the success of every other one, and extending its benefits.

Bikram Yoga – why the Heat?

The room is intentionally hot – 105 F making it the perfect environment for Bikram yoga to work its magic! The heat helps you to do your postures optimally, allowing you to go deeper and safer, minimising the risk of injury.

Regular profuse sweating generated by the heat will flush toxins out of the body, promote relaxation and well-being, accelerate cardiovascular action and facilitate calorie burning (1,000 cals per class). It is common to lose centimetres of shape in a very short period of time!
