about the yoga

Bikram’s Beginning Yoga Class, named after its founder Bikram Choudhury, is a sequence of 26 postures and two breathing exercises suitable for all ages and levels of ability. This sequence is practiced in a heated room to warm the muscles, prevent injury, allow for a deeper workout and flush the body of toxins. 

Bikram scientifically designed this 90-minute class to deliver total health through the balancing and strengthening of every system in the body. By the end of class, one will have worked every muscle, tendon, joint, ligament, organ, gland and nerve while systematically moving oxygenated blood to 100% of the body.  This unique process results in restoration of health to all systems. 

In addition, the series of postures cultivate concentration, patience, determination and self-discipline.  Bikram has been teaching his system of yoga in Los Angeles for over thirty years helping his students to improve their health and overall quality of life.  As Bikram says, “Never too bad, never too old, never too sick, never too late, to start from scratch and begin again.”
