Beginners do your research. Know what to expect. All of the teachers are phenomenal and patient. Except Leilani, she is more like a drill Sargent but sometimes I guess that is required. Otherwise, it's clean. Positive energy and great experience

If you've never tried Bikram before, this is a great place to be a beginner. The instructors are really knowledgeable, and push you past any limitations you think you have. I haven't been to any classes other than the beginning class, but I'm sure that the more advanced ones are incredible.

If you want to give Birkram yoga a try, I would definitely recommend this studio. This practice was unlike anything I'd ever tried, but I felt the instructor was extremely competent and supportive, and I could trust her to guide me safely through the class.

Bikram Yoga is a sequence of 26 Hatha yoga postures and 2 breathing exercises practiced in a heated room to stretch and strengthen every muscle, tendon, ligament, gland, joint, and organ in the body. The series systematically moves fresh oxygenated blood throughout the body to detoxify and restore your body to its natural, perfect condition - without machines, drugs, or injury. The room is heated to 105° Farenheit to promote deep stretching, rapid detoxification, and increased heart rate for a cardiovascular workout. The workout thins the blood to clear the circulatory system.
Bikram Is for Rock Stars and Couch Potatoes
Bikram's beginning yoga class is designed for all people - man, woman, healthy, sick, young, old, tall, short, fat, skinny, athlete, and couch potato. You do not need to have an established yoga practice, be flexible, a vegetarian, or anything other than exactly as you are today. The 90-minute class consists of 26 beginning hatha yoga postures and 2 breathing exercises.
Same Postures, Same Order, Every Class
Hatha is a therapeutic form of yoga. Each posture in the sequence prepares you for the next posture. Practicing the same postures, same sequence, every time, you develop patience and discipline. Practicing the sequence in the order Bikram designed it ensures that every muscle, tendon, ligament, gland, joint, and organ in your body gets a workout. The first part of class is standing postures that systematically stretch and work the major muscle groups in your body. The second part of class is floor postures that stretch and strengthen the spine. Any doubts that yoga is an intense cardiovascular workout will quickly disappear in the hot room! No need for props, straps, blocks, blankies, whips, chains, or whatever other accessories are currently debuting in yoga rooms. Just bring your well-hydrated self, a mat, a towel, and water. You will learn to use your own strength to develop your flexibility. The work you do in a Bikram yoga class appears in your daily life. Use those strong quads in triangle pose - don't slip on the winter ice. Lay still and quiet in dead body pose - watch your road rage disappear. Usually, the posture you don't like is the one you need most.

Your First Class
I've never tried yoga
Great! Bring your open mind, a well-hydrated body, and a mat, towel and water. We can rent or sell you a mat, towel, and water. The mind part is up to you.
I'm too old
You are never too old to practice yoga and begin again.
I'm too young
Anyone with fully developed sweat glands can safely practice Bikram yoga.
I'm stiff as a board and touching my toes requires Herculean effort
A stiff body is the most common misconception about why not to practice yoga, and one of the best reasons to get into a Bikram yoga class. All the postures are beginning postures and you do not need to be flexible to try them. You will use your strength to develop your flexibility.
I don't like heat
Know you are not alone! For most, it's the heat, and not the postures, that makes Bikram yoga challenging. Through regular practice you will learn to not just tolerate the heat but how to use it develop your flexibility, strength, and endurance.
I'm pregnant
You can practice Bikram yoga when you are pregnant. A regular Bikram yoga practice can make your pregnancy, labor, and post-partum easier than you expect. In this practice there is no impact to mother and child, and lower back pain often decreases while abdominal strength increases. If you've never tried Bikram yoga, wait until the end of your first trimester to start. If you have a regular practice, keep it up! There is no separate scheduled pregnancy class but our teachers are trained to provide modifications and alternate poses for you during Bikram's beginning yoga class. Rajashree Chodhoury, Bikram's wife, developed a pregnancy-modified Bikram yoga class. Rajashree's Home Pregnancy video, View Pregnancy poses.
I have a disc herniation
You can safely practice Bikram yoga with a herniated disc. With your patience and commitment, Bikram yoga will diminish the pain. A disc herniation occurs when a spinal disc ruptures and makes the inner membrane vulnerable to direct contact with a nerve. When you backbend, your spinal discs (and herniations) compress and move the discs away from the spinal nerves. Strengthening your abdominal muscles, backward bending, and spinal twisting will be your primary sources for healing, and you will get plenty of it here. Read a detailed testimonial about herniated discs that addresses each posture.
I'm undergoing chemotherapy
Speak with your doctor first. It depends on the level and course of your treatment. Students with established practices undergoing chemotherapy often find maintaining their practice during treatment helps to speed detox and to stay mentally strong.
I feel uncomfortable with spirituality commonly associated with yoga
Bikram yoga is not a religion, a diet, or a deprivation. There are no religious or spiritual symbols, mantras, or expectations in our studio. With the regular practice of yoga, you might find your mind to be calmer and more in tune with your body. That's the natural tendency in yoga practice. Nothing is expected of you except trying your best with what you have, today.
One size for all
The standardization of Bikram yoga has raised a few yoga hackles. Know that Bikram's tough love protects you from unsafe practice habits and studio conditions, as well as inadequately trained teachers. Bikram yoga does not compete with or replace other kinds of yoga. Seasoned yogis often find that practicing the Bikram sequence deepens other kinds of yoga practice.
