Bikram Yoga
About Bikram Yoga | Bikram Choudhury
Bikram Yoga is a unique series of 26 postures (asanas) and 2 breathing exercises (pranayamas) performed in a heated room to 39c for 90 minutes.

The series of postures has been scientifically designed to work every part of the body in the correct order. Each pose prepares the body for the next pose, and the sequence maximises oxygenation and detoxification of the entire body.

Strength and flexibility are worked together to create harmony in the body. This series is unsurpassed as a way of bringing vitality, health and an incredible sense of wellbeing. The heat facilitates stretching, prevents injury and promotes sweating which aids detoxification.
