What is Bikram Yoga?

Bikram Yoga (often referred to as hot yoga), is a series of 26 postures (asanas) and two breathing exercises (pranayamas), suitable for all ages and levels of ability.

Class is conducted in a purpose built heated studio that helps the student to warm up their muscles, prevent injury, allow a deeper workout and cleanse the body by flushing out toxins.


The series promotes methodic stretching and strengthening of the muscles, ligaments and joints needed for the next posture. The Bikram method also stimulates the organs, glands and nervous system, moving freshly oxygenated blood to 100 percent of the body, restoring all systems to a healthy working order.


Bikram scientifically designed the 90 minute class to deliver total health through the balancing and strengthening of every system in the body in order to prevent illness and injury, promote weight loss and limit the effects of aging. In addition the series of postures develop and combine skills of concentration, patience, determination and self-control that help promote mental clarity and reduce stress.
