Get hot while the rest of  the world is cold this winter

Bikram yoga, the original hot yoga, is a unique 90-minute series of 26 postures performed in a specially heated room.

While the core temperature of the body may rise no more than a mere 0.5 degree, the superficial soft tissue structures, including the fascia, ligaments, muscles and tendons will warm up quickly and allow the student to move further, more comfortably and more safely in all directions than while exercising in a cooler environment.

While the practice may appear to be just physical activity, it is also a form of waking meditation. The hot environment demands a sharpening of your mental focus, concentration and determination during the class.

There are tremendous restorative benefits from the practice of any style of yoga, as the student combines conscious breathing with particular movements that stretch, strengthen and stimulate all body systems: cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, excretory, immune, integumentary, sexual, respiratory, nervous and musculo-skeletal.

The heated environment, however, achieves positive changes more quickly in the student’s body and mind and beautifully complements any other style of yoga or exercise the student may perform.
