Bikram Yoga is a series of ** postures and * breathing exercises suitable for all ages and levels of ability. Each posture stretches, strengthens and prepares specific muscles, ligaments and joints needed for the next posture. The Bikram method also stimulates the organs, glands, and nerves, moving fresh oxygenated blood to *** percent of the body, restoring all systems to a healthy working order. Bikram scientifically designed this **-minute program to deliver total health through the balancing and strenthening of every system in the body in order to prevent illness, injury, promote weight loss, and limit the effects of agin.

Reduce stress Increases vitality, energy, relaxation Increases blood circulation Keeps joints juicy, increases muscle stress around joint to support under pressure Improves immunity (e.g. arthritis and thyroid disorders) A sense of well being that spreads into your life Promotes Weight Loss

Why the heated room?

The heat combined with the sequence of the poses is what makes Bikram Yoga so special. The room is heated intentionally to warm muscles, which allows you to go deeper in a shorter amount of time, seeing results. Heat takes the trauma out of stretching, heals and also helps prevent injuries. Also, your skin is the largest eliminative organ in your body. Yoga is not just about working the muscles. You are massaging deep tissues, gland and organs as well. As you work deep within your body, you start to release "poisons" or "toxins" that have been stored there a long time. Sweating helps flush the toxins out of your body, giving you a wonderful glow from head to toe.

Is Bikram Yoga a cardiovascular workout and can I lose weight?

No matter what your fitness level, you will find Bikram Yoga very challenging. Each posture combines flexibility, strength and balance to work your whole body from your bones to your skin. With persistence, patience, and dedication, you can lose inches and develop muscle tone and strength that might never come from other forms of exercise.

Most people do not experience dramatic weight loss according to a scale because as you are losing fat, you are building muscle mass. What you will see is a general slimming all over: your clothes fit better, your posture is better, and your skin will GLOW!

Do I need to drink water before class?

Drink plenty of water. You can lose up to *-* pounds of water weight during class. This is NOT good weight to lose. It is easy to get dehydrated, so make sure you are drinking plenty of water after class and the entire day before you come to class. You are less likely to feel lightheaded or dizzy during class if you've had enough to drink in the hours preceding class. Being full hydrated helps take pressure off of organs to do there jobs and helps flush the body and keep it running smoothly. The most typical excuse for not drinking water is the increased visits to the restroom. Your body will adjust to the increased water intake. You may also find benefits of decreased body odor, smoother skin, and shinier hair.

Students are raving about Bikram Yoga

"Bikram's beginning yoga class has been, for me, a Godsend, pure and simple. Simply put, I feel like a different person!"
- Evelyn Saphier, ** years old

"Since starting yoga about a year ago, I have seen tremendous improvements in a number of areas. Most significant is in the area of flexibility. Prior to starting yoga I was unable to touch my toes. Now I reach my toes with ease. This improvement in flexibility has also translated into more efficient running..."
- Alex

"Bikram yoga makes me feel amazing! My hips used to be very tight and lacked flexibility, but now they have an openness to them that they never had before. I have noticed that my thighs appear to have lengthened, and also have a sleeker look to them as well! I feel at peace when I leave class..."
