Frequently Asked Questions
Bikram Yoga is unique in several important ways. First, every single class follows the exact same sequence of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises — there are no variations or surprises. This consistency is what makes the practice so powerful — your body and mind know exactly what is coming, allowing you to go deeper every time. Second, every class is taught in full dialogue by a certified Bikram Yoga teacher — meaning the teacher guides you precisely through every posture using the original Bikram teaching method. Third, the practice takes place in a room heated to 40°C — which enhances flexibility, strengthens the cardiovascular system and challenges the mind. Bikram Yoga is not about flowing sequences or music — it is a precise, disciplined, and deeply effective system of health and wellness.
Bikram Yoga is a series of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises done in a specific order with specific instructions, designed for our cultural problems of stress, overeating, bad posture, and aggressive lifestyles. This exact technique and series of fixed poses brings better health to anyone willing to try it.
Our studio is heated to approximately 40°C with 40% humidity. The heated environment is an essential part of the Bikram Yoga practice and delivers real, well-documented benefits:
What the heat does for your body:
• Increases flexibility — heat relaxes muscle tissue, allowing you to stretch more deeply and safely with a reduced risk of injury
• Strengthens your cardiovascular system — practicing in the heat raises your heart rate, giving you a stronger workout than a regular yoga class
• Builds strength — the heat puts muscle tissue in an optimal state, helping you work more effectively through each posture
• Improves balance and range of motion — consistent practice in the heated room leads to measurable improvements in mobility and stability
• Challenges the mind — the mental discipline required to stay focused in the heat builds confidence and leaves you feeling accomplished after every class
Does the heat worry you? This is completely natural for first-timers. If the heat feels intense at first, just 4 consecutive classes will significantly increase your comfort and tolerance in the room. Every class gets easier — and better. The most important rule for your first class is simply to breathe. Rest when you need to and trust the process.
