| Why do Bikram Yoga? |
|
| Bikram Yoga's repetitive nature--90 minutes, 26 poses, twice each with 2 breathing exercises lends itself to medical testing, whereas other yoga forms are more difficult to study because they are practiced in varying and changing ways. In fact, Choudhury developed his practice with the help of scientists at the University of Tokyo’s University Hospital, who proved its medical benefits, which include regenerating tissues and helping cure chronic ailments. These findings were presented at the 1972 International Medical Conference. Bikram Yoga is said to affect the body internally--certain poses work pressure points and use the tourniquet effect to push fresh, oxygenated blood through the body, replenishing cells and flushing toxins. Instructors, yogis and Choudhury tout Bikram's abundant physical benefits, which may include:

Bikram Basics
Bikram students spend 90 minutes working through 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises in a room heated approximately 105 degrees. The heat allows muscles to stretch more deeply and speeds blood circulation to help the body flush toxins.With the heart working to hold each pose 10 to 60 seconds, Bikram Yoga also provides cardiovascular benefits.

“If you had told me that at age 77 I would be doing Bikram Yoga at 105 degrees and 40% humidity, I would have laughed at you. Well, I’ve been doing it five times a week for the past two months and I haven’t felt this good in 30 years!” – Ed Monarch, former Mayor of Indian Wells, CA
“I've had three knee surgeries , two ruptured discs in my neck where I now have a titanium plate and other ailments. The only time I feel good is after a Bikram class. I did twelve classes my first month and I haven't felt this good in a long time !” – Mike Bonetti, Bermuda Dunes, CA |
