"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

- Lao-tzu

Bikram Yoga is a series of 26 postures "asanas" performed in a heated room designed by Bikram Choudhury, which allows the body to become more warm, pliable and relaxed. This provides for deeper stretching, the release of neuromuscular tensions in the body, and detoxification of your entire system. Each posture is done in a specific sequence and is sequentially designed to scientifically warm and stretch muscles, ligaments and tendons in the order in which they should be stretched. The Bikram method will also stimulate the organs, glands, and nerves, moving fresh oxygenated blood to 100 percent of your body, restoring all body systems to a healthy working order.

In Bikram Yoga, we move posture-to-posture, learning to incorporate breath (pranayama) into each movement so that we can reach a deeper level of stretching through conscious stillness. A Shaolin Monk once said "Breathing is an internal exercise…the movement of energy or chi throughout your whole body."

You will realize a magical moment when biomechanically you feel a state of relaxed awareness utilizing the 3 primary aspects of Bikram Yoga: Breathing, Freezing/Holding the postures and Savasana (relaxation).

You'll notice even after a few classes a dramatic increase in your flexibility, strength and stamina from your fingertips to your toes. By incorporating Bikram Yoga into your health regimen, you'll notice many physical and mental benefits such as: preventing chronic illnesses, reducing stress, weight loss, increasing your energy levels and the list goes on! Overall, Bikram Yoga's objective is to enhance the complete wellness of your life.
