Bikram Choudhury is an internationally renowned yoga teacher from India who has taught million of students. Many famous movie stars and sports athletes have been his students. He brought his system to the United States in 1971 at the invitation of the American Medical Association. Bikram founded the Yoga College of India in California in 1974. He is one of the pre-eminent Hatha Yoga masters living today.

Bikram Yoga is a routine of 26 poses, which works the whole body in 90 minutes. The poses work synergistically and cumulatively to return the body to a balanced state. The yoga builds energy, stamina and flexibility. It incorporates strength, challenge, gravity, balance, and most importantly the tourniquet effect. The Bikram technique allows the stretching, squeezing and massaging of the internal organs, flushing out the cardiovascular system and stimulating the endocrine and nervous systems in order to release any deficient hormones and enzymes. The body is self-regulating and self adjusting. The self-regulation of the body systems and mind also has many other benefits that include weight loss, balancing of addictions and stress reduction.

The routine of Bikram Yoga is dynamic and exhilarating. The room is intentionally warm so that your muscles will stretch more easily. The series works equally well for beginning as well as advanced students.
