Bikram yoga isn’t supposed to be easy, but it is intended for students of virtually any skill and fitness level at Bikram Yoga Scarsdale. Over the course of 90 minutes, the studio's instructors lead students through 26 deep bends, twists, and stretches, each of which strengthens specific muscle groups throughout the body, boosts circulation, and promotes healthy organ function. Aside from the established sequence of asanas, the defining characteristic of Bikram yoga is the intense heat of the room, which bolsters flexibility by loosening taut muscles while encouraging cleansing perspiration. The studio’s air-flow system ensures that the room remains clean, as do the nonabsorbent, bacteria-free floors.
