TheBikram Method is a highly therapeutic yoga series performed in a room heated to 105 degrees with 40-50% humidity. The series is a sequence of 26 postures and two breathing exercises that is suitable for all ages and all levels of ability. These postures work synergistically and cumulatively to bring health and vitality to the body and mind.
The heat is an important part of the yoga therapy. It allows your body to warm and soften up so that you can do the postures safely. The heat encourages a purifying sweat, which releases toxins and rejuvenates skin. Also, the heat teaches you how to breathe, how to hydrate your body, and how to take care of yourself both in and out of class.
