HOW DOES BIKRAM YOGA WORK?

The body is naturally self-regulating and self-healing.  It just needs to be re-set when it is out of balance.

Bikram yoga provides an effective boost by gently stretching, compressing and massaging the internal organs, the spine, the blood vessels, the muscles, tendons and joints. 

It flushes the cardiovascular system, stimulates the endocrine, nervous, and reproductive systems, and assists with the elimination of waste products.

The central nervous system is both energised and soothed.  The lymphatic system is stimulated, having a positive impact on the immune system.
