What is Bikram Yoga?
Bikram Choudhury is an internationally renowned yoga
teacher from India who has taught over three million
students. He brought his system to the United States
in 1971 at the invitation of the American Medical
Association.
Bikram's Hatha Yoga system is a series of 26 asanas,or
poses,and 2 breathing exercises,or pranayamas, which
work the entire body in 90 minutes. The asanas work
synergistically and cumulatively to return the body,
mind, soul to an energetic, balanced state. Yoga builds
energy, stamina and flexibility. It incorporates strength,
challenge, gravity, balancing, and most importantly,
the tourniquet effect. The technique allows the stretching,
squeezing, and massaging of internal organs, flushing
out the cardiovascular system and stimulating the
endocrine and nervous systems in order to release
any deficient hormones and enzymes.
The body itself is self regulating and adjusting.
It knows what and how much it needs, it just needs
to be boosted when out of balance. This yoga series
brings you into perfect balance each time you practice.
Bring a towel, yoga mat, dress lightly, and expect to sweat, have fun and work
hard.
"A helpful hint: "perfect"
is the best you can do that day. How quickly you progress
will depend entirely on you-upon your natural ability
to a small extend, but mostly upon the honest time
and effort you give to the Yoga. Here there is no
comparison to those around you. It's a daily practice
that is all about you, and your own progression from
the point at which you began. Take this class EVERYDAY
FOR THE NEXT 2 MONTHS AND YOU WILL HAVE A NEW LIFE...that's
a promise!" Bikram Choudhury
