Yoga means the union of body, mind and spirit. Hatha Yoga is the physical form of yoga designed to bring balance and well being into your life. It is the perfect lifetime fitness program and totally different from any other kind of exercise. We stretch the body from the bone to the skin and from the head to the toes, which helps quiet the mind and energize the body. The movements of this yoga reach deep into the tissue, relieve tension and stress and revitalize and assist in overcoming many physical and emotional problems such as sciatica, back and neck problems and depression. The 26 postures in Bikram’s Yoga sequence enhance strength, flexibility, muscle tone, balance and concentration.
What if I’m not flexible?
This is the most common misconception that prevents people from coming to a yoga class. Yoga is not about how flexible you are; it is about stretching your body and spine. The more inflexible you are, the more you need yoga. You become flexible by doing yoga.
Why is the room heated?
The room is intentionally hot, heated to the temperature of the human body. It is heated to warm your muscles, prevent injuries and allow for a deeper release of tensions in your body. Sweating will also help flush toxins and poisons from your body. Heat also adds to the cardiovascular benefits of Bikram Yoga.
How do I get started?
Come 15 minutes before the starting time of class. Bring two towels, a yoga mat, and a water bottle. (Water may be purchased at the school. Towels and mats are available to rent and/or purchase).
Be prepared to sweat. Students need to wear lightweight, movable clothing. For women we suggest tights and a leotard or T-shirt and expandable waist shorts. For men we suggest a bathing suit with lining, or expandable waist shorts. We suggest eating only a light meal 2 to 3 hours before class.
