BIKRAM YOGA
BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH
THE YOGA,
ACCESSIBLE TO ALL
Bikram Yoga is a therapeutic system of healing, created by a set sequence of postures and breathing exercises that is practised in a heated room.
Bikram Yoga is a beginner-level yoga class accessible to anyone and everyone. Regardless of experience level, age, shape, size and physical capacity, Bikram Yoga is available to everybody. As a beginner, a person with chronic illness or injury, limited mobility or with a lengthy experience of yoga practice - everyone is capable and everyone is welcome!
As a first timer, it can take a few classes to get used to the sequence and the conditions. We recommend taking as many classes as possible when you first begin your practise to witness the most effective and extensive results.
Your first class is your first step in taking responsibility for your own healing process. Taking responsibility for your own health is empowering.

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.
BEGINNERS,

It is not important that you do or are unable to do a certain posture. It is important that you TRY.

The room is heated for several reasons:
To increase your heart rate, great for the cardiovascular systemTo stimulate circulation, increasing the body’s ability to eliminate waste products
To promote sweating, allowing for elimination of pore-clogging toxins
To safely warm the muscles, promoting stretching of the tissue
To decrease the viscosity of the blood, promoting better blood circulation & decreasing blood pressure
To reorganise lipids in the muscular structure
If the heat causes extreme discomfort for you, be assured that you can change that with just 4 consecutive classes. This effort will increase your tolerance for the heat. -
It is recommended that Bikram Yoga not be practised during the first trimester.
After this period, students can reintroduce a regular practice, with a set modification to the sequence of postures.
