Bikram Yoga
Bikram’s 26 Postures
Bikram Yoga is a series of 26 yoga-stretching postures and breathing exercises created by Bikram Choudhury taught in a 90 minute class. Each pose is a challenge based on one's personal abilities. The postures are practiced in the safe environment of a heated room so that deep penetration can relieve one's body resistance without risking injury. The postures produce a training effect without pounding the spinal column, thus relieving back problems. By the end of the class you will have worked every muscle, tendon, joint, ligament, internal organ and gland while systematically moving oxygenated blood to 100% of the body. The result is restoration of health to all body systems. As you increase strength, flexibility and balance in your body, you will be eliminating conditions of stress produced by fast-paced lifestyles. Regular practice of this series of postures results in a clear mind, a healthy body and radiant spirit.
