Bikram Yoga is a series of 24 hatha yoga postures and 2 breathing exercises. These 26 postures treat every muscle, nerve and cell in the body. The postures are performance in the same order each class with increasing precision (to each students ability).

The 90 minute class is taught in a room heated to 105 degrees in order to enhance the stretching, balancing, and strengthening of the body's circulatory, digestive, endocrine, nervous, and immune systems. The heat assists in cleansing the body of toxins, regenerating the cells, and loosening the muscles, tendons, and ligaments to safely stretch. Practicing in the heat can also bring greater mental clarity, self-control and concentration. One will use the mind to strengthen the body and the body to strengthen the mind.

Bikram's sequence is specifically designed to deliver total physical and mental health by balancing every system and protect us of our cultural problems of stress, depression, poor eating habits and poor posture. These postures work by moving fresh, oxygenated blood to 100% of your body and work every muscle, tendon, joint, ligament, internal organ and gland, to healthy working order. Proper weight, muscle tone, vibrant good health and well-being will follow. The Bikram series of postures works synergistically, each pose preparing for the next and leaving your body re-energized, re-organized, re-vitalized, and re-activated.

How quickly you progress depends entirely on you. A small amount to natural ability but mostly upon your honest time and effort you give to your practice. The secret to your success is in the frequency to your practice and the effort you put will return to you tenfold. Progress will have little to do with how "perfectly" you do the pose but rather it will show itself with how well you understand the poses, how honestly you try to achieve your goal, and how supple your body feels in comparison to when you first started. When practicing yoga there is no standard of comparison except in yourself. Perfect is the best you can do today.
