Bikram’s
Yoga is a series of 26 postures conducted
over 90 minutes, beginning with a breathing
exercise to warm up, progressing through
24 asanas (postures) and finishing
with a toxin-eliminating breathing
posture. This series of postures was
scientifically designed to systematically
work through the entire body.
Classes
are held in a heated room.
The warm
room:
- allows for greater flexibility,
- minimises muscle strain,
- reduces the
chance of injury,
- promotes greater
cleansing of the body, and
- helps build
stamina and endurance.
Each
posture in the series warms and prepares
the body for the next posture. In the
heated room you will gradually work
deeper into your muscles, tendons and
ligaments, stretching, strengthening
and toning – changing your body
both inside and outside.
Whether your goal is to lose weight,
learn to relax, aid in the healing
of injuries or illness, strengthen,
stretch or tone your body, or simply
to achieve overall well-being, Bikram
Yoga is suited to all levels of health
and fitness.
It is a beginning class:
anybody can do it – any age,
size, shape, condition, background,
or problem.
We do only beginning Yoga
postures – nothing that can hurt
or injure you. The postures are maintained
motionless at maximum effort, (which
is a primary principle of Hatha Yoga),
not in continuous movement. |
