Bikram yoga is an intelligently designed routine of 26 traditional yoga postures which comprehensively works the whole body in 90 minutes. Its focus is to achieve and maintain balanced health, a firm body, and a sharp mind. Bikram yoga is practiced in a room intentionally heated to just above body temperature to increase flexibility, provide a cardiovascular workout and melt away stress.
The 26 postures work synergistically and cumulatively to provide a total body workout to every system of the body promoting optimum health and wellbeing.
The sequence is designed as a progression so that every posture warms up the muscles and joints used in the next one, allowing the body a safer, deeper stretch. Bikram Yoga also stretches, squeezes and massages the internal organs, flushes the cardiovascular system and stimulates the endocrine and nervous systems as well.
