 Bikram
Yoga consists of a series of
26 asanas (postures) and 2 breathing exercises. It is suitable for all
ages and levels of ability. Each posture stretches, strengthens and prepares
specific muscles, ligaments and joints for the next posture. The Bikram
method also stimulates the organs, glands and nerves, moving fresh
oxygenated blood to 100 percent of the body, restoring all systems to a
healthy working order. Bikram designed this yoga series to deliver total
health through the balancing and strengthening of every system in the body
in order to prevent illness and injury, to promote weight loss and to limit
the effects of aging.
This series of postures combines skills of
concentration, patience, determination and self control, and thus increases
mental clarity and reduces stress. Bikram Yoga is done in a heated room to
warm your muscles, prevent injury, allow a deeper workout and cleanse the
body by flushing toxins. A committed practice of Bikram Yoga will result in
realization of the true meaning of yoga: a union of the body, mind and
spirit.
In order for yoga to be effective, yoga must be
practiced daily or on a regular basis with no long lapses of time between
lessons. A minimum commitment of 10 lessons in 30 days is required if the
student is to derive maximum benefit from this yoga.
