Welcome to Bikram’s Hatha Yoga class, a demanding twenty-six pose (Asana) series. Every pose is meant to be performed in the given order, to the best of one’s ability. You will learn how the poses enhance the mind and how they relax, strengthen, reshape and heal the body.

You are never too sick, too old, too weak, too fat, too anything to benefit from this yoga class. Bikram Choudhury scientifically designed this 90 minute program to deliver total health through the balancing and strengthening of every system in the body in order to prevent illness, injury and the limiting effects of aging.

This series of postures begins by waking up the body and expanding the lungs through deep breath work that pumps fresh oxygen into the circulatory system. The next few poses work every muscle, ligament and joint in the fingers, arms, shoulders, neck and upper spine. Moving down the body, the sides and the entire spine are stretched, realigning hunched shoulders, tight chests and backs. This is followed by balancing postures that combine skills of concentration, patience, determination and self-control. This series continues to work systematically through the body, leaving not one organ, bone, joint, muscle, ligament, tendon, blood vessel, nerve or gland unattended. When your honest, hard work is finished, 100% of the body is optimally functioning. Also known as ENERGY!
