[CHECK OUT OUR CLASS
SCHEDULE]
Bikram Yoga is a scientifically designed series of twenty-six postures
done in a heated room that allows you to work deeply your entire body
from the inside out, bones to skin. Working each system in the body through
contraction and extension, the postures address every bodily system. Bikram
Yoga relaxes, strengthens and stretches every muscle, ligament, tendon,
and joint in the body. Each posture in the Bikram sequence is designed
to warm up the muscles and joints in preparation for the next posture,
in addition to working the organs, glands, and nervous system in a systematic
way. Bikram Yoga is challenging, exciting, vigorous, and at times some
might say even profound. Bikram Yoga has proven itself effective for more
than thirty years. With hard work, dedication, and persistence, you will
achieve astonishing and long- lasting results.
What you should expect:
Bikram Yoga is designed for all ages and all levels of experience. First
time and long time yoga practitioners are welcome! Bikram's Beginning
Yoga series is extremely rewarding, but also challenging. As a new student
to Bikram Yoga, here is what you should know and how you should prepare:
- During the day try to be hydrated as much as possible.
- Avoid big meals at least 3 hours before taking class.
- First time students; please arrive 15-20 minutes before class begins
to allow enough time to register.
- The room is heated to 100+ degrees so be prepared to work hard and
sweat!
- This class is designed for all levels of fitness, but if you have
a special medical condition, please inform the instructor.
- No reservations are necessary. You are welcome to come to any class.
- All classes are 90 minutes.
- Wear clothing that allows you to move freely. Remember, it will be
hot!
- Please be considerate of other students and refrain from bringing
cell phones and beepers into class.
- Towels: We will provide you with one big bath towel for your mat and
a smaller towel to wipe your sweat. Bring an extra towel if you wish
to shower. (We do provide extra towels, upon request, for an additional
charge.)
- Mats are required for all classes. After the first week, we recommend
that you purchase your own mat. (Studio mats are of course still available
to rent for an extra charge). You are welcome to bring your own mat.
- Water: As a new practitioner of Bikram Yoga, please drink lots of
water before, during and after class. It is recommended that you bring
at least a quart of water with you into class. Bikram Yoga will help
you eliminate toxins from your body through a great deal of sweating,
but, it's important to remember that you are also sweating out water
and trace minerals from your system that need to be replenished. A variety
of beverages will be for sale at the studio.
