Bikram's Beginning Yoga Class

Bikram's Beginning Yoga Class is a series of 26 asana postures designed to scientifically warm and stretch muscles, ligaments and tendons, in the order in which they should be stretched.

Bikram Yoga's 26 posture exercises systematically move fresh, oxygenated blood to one hundred percent of your body, to each organ and fiber, restoring all systems to healthy working order, just as Nature intended. Proper weight, muscle tone, vibrant good health, and a sense of well-being will automatically follow.

Your Progress

How quickly you progress will depend entirely on you -- upon your natural ability to a small extent, but mostly upon the time and effort you give to your Yoga practice. It will have little to do with how "perfectly" you can do the poses. Few of us ever do the poses "perfectly". Instead, it will have to do with how well you understand what you are trying to accomplish in each pose, how you try to accomplish your goal, and how supple your muscles and joints have become in comparison to the point at which you began. In Yoga, there is no standard of comparison except yourself. To be 'Perfect' in Yoga is to do the best you can do.

Bikram teaches you not only the ideal pose - how you will eventually be able to do it - but also the reality - telling you what problems you will have as you try to do the pose, what clues will help you make rapid progress, and where you might be tempted to "cheat," thus depriving yourself of the benefit of doing the pose properly. Bikram explains to you, in his inimitable humorous and informative way, how his scientifically designed series of 26 poses will enhance mind and body, relax, strengthen, reshape, and heal all of you in 90 minutes.
