Bikram Choudhury began learning Hatha Yoga poses in his native India at age 3.  He began studying with Bishnu Ghosh and quickly became a yoga champion.  At age 11, Bikram was the youngest contestant ever to win the National India Yoga Competition.  A weightlifting accident crippled Bikram, but with the guidance of his Guru, Bikram created his 26 posture series which restored his health. 

Bikram Yoga is a method of Hatha Yoga series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises; suitable for all ages and level of ability.  Each posture stretches, strengthens and prepares specific muscles, ligaments and joints for the next posture.  The Bikram method also stimulates the organs, glands and nerves, moving fresh oxygenated blood to 100% of the body, restoring all systems to a healthy working order.

Bikram scientifically designed this 90 minute program to deliver total health through the balancing and strengthening of every system in the body in order to prevent illness and injury, promote weight loss, and limit the effects of aging.  The series of postures combine skills of concentration, patience, determination and self-control which increase mental clarity and reduces stress.  Bikram Yoga is practiced in a heated room to warm your muscles, allow a deeper workout and cleanse the body by flushing toxins.
